More July Fun

Simon all ready to go to day camp.  He just looks so cute all dressed and ready to go.  Our ward didn't go so I called the other wards in the stake till I found one he could go with.  When he showed up that morning, he found that one of his best friends is in that ward!  He had such a wonderful time.

The boys had matching ties on from my brother's wedding the previous day so they wore them to church.  This picture made me laugh because of Quinn's face.

On a Friday evening, we picked Thayne up from work and went to Crystal Springs for the evening.  We had a fun time eating fried chicken from Smiths Grocery store and swimming.  The kids enjoyed the slides the most.

We spent a Saturday on the farm repairing the old flagpole so we can use it on our upcoming camp out.  This is a picture of us trying to put the flagpole back into its hole.  It was so heavy that we couldn't lift it any higher than you see in this picture.

After lots of thinking the boys realized how to use the tractor and it went in very easily.  (Much to everyone's relief)!

Last summer Hannah and I had so much fun sewing doll clothes.  I have had some friends ask to see pictures...so here they are.  Last week we sewed the outfits the dolls have on and the two dresses right above the dolls' heads.

July Fun

We took a Logan trip one day last week.  We enjoyed Willow Park and Pepperidge Farm factory.  We also visited the Fat Boy factory and Gossners Cheese Factory.  It was a great trip and the weather was wonderful.

Thayne and his brother Eli!

We got some free Cherry Days T-shirts from Weber State Credit Union and wore them all day on the 4th.

June 2012

Simon and Quinn helping me pit cherries.  They were a great help!

Baseball got over last night.  Simon had so much fun learning all the rules of the game and got really into it.  More baseball next year for sure!

 Kick ball also ended this week.  Quinn just loved his coach and when all the other kids were laying in the grass, he was up playing his best.

 Quinn and our kitten Cora.  We all really love her.

May 2012

I took the two boys to the Treehouse Museum on a Friday evening.  Thayne was doing homework and the two other kids were busy doing other things.  I had fun just watching them run around and enjoy everything there.  I think they had the most fun dressing up like cowboys and riding the horses (stationary that is).

 Hannah finished up a whole year of dance class.  She enjoyed ballet the most.  This was taken after her dance recital.  She is now done with dance for awhile and is starting piano lessons.  I have taught her for several years and now she is moving on to a real teacher.

 Quinn's preschool graduation.  The picture is dark...he is the one with the red tie.  It sure was a big affair for preschool!  An hour long program with about 50 kids standing there and singing for most of it.  Cute though!

More Smith Fun

Alas...time to learn to tie a tie!

My Grandma Francom and I on Mother's Day.

 Simon getting ready for his first baseball game of the season.

Xylophone

For two years now Hannah has had the opportunity to take an after school class where she does extra projects in Science, Social Studies, and Fine Arts.  It is only for two students per class and so I am glad that she has been able to do this.  She got the opportunity to learn how to play the xylophones with a few of her class mates for the Fine Arts class.  She really enjoyed it.

What have the Smiths been up to?

See that little black thing under Collin?  Yes, it is our new kitten, "Cora".

 Thayne rescued her at work and brought her home.  We have been feeding her bottles for almost two weeks now.

 We bought a trampoline.  In this picture we are half-way done setting it up.  It was dark when we got done because we had to take all the springs back off after this picture.  So far Collin has scraped up his nose doing a double flip and just tonight Hannah hurt her jaw doing a front flip :)

 Last weekend we visited the Church History Museum.  Here is the family standing behind a pulpit in the Gordon B. Hinckley exhibit.

 Here we are eating at one of our favorite restaurants..The Lion House.
