Chaser turns 6

My little Chaser turns 6 today. Holy cow were has the time gone. He is already through kindergarten...


Chase has always been known as out little Indian due to his dark skin. And being the only Smith kid to get dark skin. Last year when out on a family camp out he earned the nickname "TONTO" he is his daddy's side kick...



Who can resist that smile, he truly melts my heart.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHASER

Happy Father's Day

I can't let today go by with out saying a HUGE THANK YOU to my Dad. I was reminded this week why I am so grateful for my Dad. I have never a day in my life not known how much my Dad loves me. I cant even begin to imagine not talking to my Dad, I hope he knows how much I love him...Thank you for being a great husband, father and grandfather!!!

Jacqueline Rougemont-Gonzalez

I wanted to show all my friends what a beautiful lady my cousin Jackie was. Jackie was born on Feb. 17, 1981, and passed away June 8, 2009 She leaves behind a great family who will miss her so much. I think I can say that this was the hardest funeral I have ever had to go to...If you have ever heard Alan Jackson sing "sissy's song" if says it all. That song was sang at the funeral service by my uncle and 2 cousins. Not a dry eye in the room....

A life cut short.,...

It has been a hard couple of days. Yesterday my Dad called to tell me that my cousin Jackie had passed away during the night. When her husband woke up and she was gone.. She was 28 years old and raising 3 kids. Her and her husband had 1 child together but she has state custody of her sisters 2 kids. Her baby is only 3! What a great lady she was. She has worked so hard the last few years to but herself through school while dealing with many appointments and raising 3 young kids. She just finished her 1st year of teaching elementary school. Five years ago we had to bury her mom and now this, my heart is breaking for her husband, kids, dad and sisters. I think my biggest concern is for our grandmother who is 82 years old and after burying her husband & daughter, burying her grand daughter may be more than she can do....Why do we have to lose she good young people? I do know that she just had a GREAT reunion with her mom....

1/2 price braces

I am so so so happy to say that we were drawn for 1/2 off braces from FOREVER YOUNG ORTHODONTICS in the Dana Park area.... It pays to put your name in on those drawings....We do have good insurance but taking 50% off the top makes a HUGE difference....Thank you Dr. Young (PS. We are using them on Shelby)
