24th of July Celebrations

The 24th of July has always been my favorite holidayof the year. Normally we would go to SLC and watch fireworks at my dad's house next to Liberty park. It will always be a day that I remember and cherish the memories of my father and what he meant to me.

This year we took the kids to the zoo then we went to Grandpa and Grandma Smith's house for a bbq, swimming and fireworks.

Sidney is now 13 months and she still will not walk without assistance. hopefully one day soon!

The kids love it with the elephant squirts out water.

Kaleigh and Hagen were very creative on the swings.

Mathew's Wedding

This last weekend we went to Vernal for my little brother, Matthew's wedding. We didn't get any Pictures at the wedding. But we did take some at the house before we left to go back home to Orem.

This is a picture of Kaleigh, Hagen, Sidney, and myself with my step-brother Jeff who I haven't seen since I was four or five years old.

My cute little ones all dressed up. For some reason I couldn't take a picture without it going blury.
Mom and the newest grandson, little Jace. We definately need more boys in the family.

Bear Lake Camping

The Smith family went camping at Bear Lake. We camped from Monday the 13th to Friday the 17th. We had a great time hanging out with family, playing games, and going to the beach. We celebrated Boston and Melissa's birthday as well. Thanks for organizing this Mark and Jenny! Jared and Hagen

4th of July Fireworks

This year we celebrated our traditional 4th of July celebrations with a BBQ in the back yard. Then when it was dark enough we lit fireworks. Kaleigh is all wrapped up even though it wasn't that cold.

Little Sidney is definately our lounger.

Hagen couldn't get enough of the sparklers.

Crazy rose bushes and other events

Thanks to the help of our family we were finally able to take one of our huge rose bushes to the dump. It was about twenty feet wide and tall. The rosebush they are putting on the trailer is what is left after three trips to the dump. One more rose bush to go.
We had a little birthday celebration for Lance and Sidney. Lance is 32!!

Poor little Hagen had gotten so sick that he was throwing up every thirty minutes this last Sunday. He was so tired. He fell asleep leaning on the toilet and started to wake up when he saw Jared and I watching him.

We also had a yard sale at our house this last weekend. Little sidney loved sitting with Grandpa Smith.

Little Sidney turned 1!!

My sweet little Sidney turned One on the 23rd Of June!! It is hard to believe that we have had her for only one year. Seems like she has been in our lives forever. Sidney was very fascinated by the candle.She didn't get too messy.Presents from Mom, Dad, Kaleigh and Hagen

Kaleigh turned five!

My little Kaleigh isn't so little any more. On the 27th of May she turned five. She had her dance recital the night of her birthday as well. They danced to the wiggles an Indain song and did a little crocodile dance in the Peter Pan dance the dance company put together. She did amazing. As soon as I figure out how to post videos I will post her dances from her recital. Grandpa and Grandma Smith (and Grandma Mikits also) came to her recital.
She also graduated from preschool that week. The picture is Kaleigh with her teacher Mrs. Scholle.
Kaleigh and her good friend Amelyah. She and Amelyah played together atleast once a week after school.
