Happy Thanksgiving!

It has always been tradition in the Smith Family to go around the table as we eat our Thanksgiving meal and talk about what we are thankful for. It was ten years ago today that Samson and I last sat at the Smith Family table on Thanksgiving and shared that tradition with my family. I am thankful for mom and dad who have always emphasized the importance of tradition in our family. I am also thankful to my sisters who have tried so hard over the last decade to help me feel included in the family outings... even though we weren't there!

I am a lucky girl to have such an amazing family! I love you!

NYC 2008

Did we ever decide when and where

we were going on our next girls' trip?

How about NYC late May?

Welcome Home

Well, Mom and Dad get home today and I am pretty excited! I have realized that it is so hard not to talk to them for a whole week. There has been so many times where I have just wanted to pick of the phone and give them a call. It's hard going from talking everyday, to not being able to talk for a whole week! Does anyone else feel this way??

Welcome Home Mom and Dad!!!!!

JEALOUS>>>

Does anyone else really wish they crawled into Mom & Dads suitcase this week? I am so jealous. I would love to be crusing with them and enjoy all the benefits. All you can eat whenever you want, sun, sleep, activities, beach....need I say more! I sure hope they are enjoying themselves!

Dinner Groups!

Is there such a thing as a dinner "play date"?

I have gotten myself in some BIG trouble...

Every Monday night I have to make dinner for 3 other families, in return, I get dinner brought to my house 3 other days of the week. We each have assigned days of the week that we cook and deliver our dinner out. This makes it possible to only have to cook one night a week, but get dinner 4 nights. It seems to be going well for the group. I will be substituting for a while...any suggestions?

Monday Memories~

Here is a fun memory to start off your week...Enjoy!

I think this picture was taken right before our wedding and I LOVE it. I don't know what the kids are doing but I think it is so cute that they are all in a circle playing together. We are so lucky to have the great family that we have and the most adorable nieces/nephews/grandkids/children.

THROWBACK THURSDAY~

A throwback from a Halloween in the past...

This was the last Halloween that I spent in Utah

(Do you like my old scrapbook?)

Thanks for the reminder phone call, Whit!
