Chad turns 19!!!

I can not hardly believe it but today is Chads 19th birthday I am not really sure where the time has gone.
He was the 1st and only grand kid for almost 2 years on the SMith side so he was very spoiled.

He was so proud to be a Sr at mountain view, and we were proud parents as we watched him grow...
Graduation night was one of my proudest moments... I love him so much...

August 25, 1990

On August 25, 1990 I married the most wonderful man I have ever met. I am so grateful for a man who was worthy to marry me in the Mesa AZ temple.
I look back now at how young I was and that makes me glad i had parents who did not freak out. Now that I have kids close to that age I can see how it could be hard.

I am so glad that I married young and have been able to spend these 20 years with Cory and my family.. I am grateful for all the ups and downs we have been through. We would not be who we are if it was not for them.

Cascade Falls

We always look forward to our hike up to the Cascade Falls when we are in Duck Creek Utah...
Some of the older kids and cory slid down to get closer to the water... And had to climb back out.

We are always so happy to have Grandpa come along on our hikes.

Summer Days

We spent many of our summer days either at Brimhall or Stapley Jr highs pools. Me and my sisters bought summer passes and we used it like crazy.

Some days we even took along friends to share in the fun.
Chase was at his proudest when he did the HIGH DIVE.... He was so proud until they told him he had to be 8 years old.. He got to know one of the life guards well enough that she would not ask his age so he made a point of knowing when she was working in the dive tank....



We even got Chad out with us ONCE....







4th of July in the mountains

We love to go camping in the mountains around Heber AZ and enjoy the cool weather.. We have so much fun with friends and family.


I think each year we get to the high school earlier than the year before but it is alot of fun to see people from all over the valley, some we only see there...




Fun had by all showing off matching hair does or playing in the dirt....






Chase turns 7

On June 27Th or little Chase turned 7, I am not sure how the time has gone by so fast but he is sure growing up fast.
Lego's... What else can a 7 year old need!?!?




Fun with cousins...

We have really enjoyed spending lots of time with cousins this summer. This was after a day at the movies with Stacey and kids..
We were either at the pools swimming or playing in the sprinklers, it is so nice to have cousins so close...

Reynolds Reuinon 2010

We always look forward to our annual reunion with my Gram and her side of the family... I love that we camp in the same place as when I was a kid..




Always fun to see the kids play games with each other and cousins... I was glad took my place with Cory. I am not a game person, I would rather be behind the camera...




Thanks to the Rougemount family for an awesome reunion, games & food




Memorial Day weekend

I tool the opportunity to go with my parents for a long weekend to Sullivan Missouri for a Sullivan Family Reunion.. No the town was not named after my Sullivan Family...
I love my Aunt Shirley and spending time visiting at her house. It had been almost 25 years since my last visit to Sullivand and her house...

My cousin Tim and his wife Trish. Even thought Time is almost 10 years older than me we have always got along really well. Yes even when I was a kid and he was a teenager. we still talk but it was nice to spend time face to face not just online...


My Dad and 2 of his 3 sisters, Faye and Shirley. This was at a family cemetery in Kentucky. It is SO pretty there. It is a lot of fun to hear them relive there childhood growing up in such beautiful country...



This is a favorite stop for me in KY its a living history museum called the Adsmore House.... Very cool place...




Saturday @ Home Depot






There is just something fun about a Saturday morning and FREE Home Depot classes for the kids. I remember doing this with my older kids so it was fun to take Chase and Karly and go do a wood project.

Mountainview 2010


As a Mom I could not be more proud of Chad. I am feeling a little old when it comes to having my 1st born graduating from high school. As a family we think it is also really neat that he is graduating from Cory's high school. I love this kid and his smile, he is a gem in my life. We have see him struggle in school and in his social life, buy I am so proud of where he is in his life. I am looking forward to the growth that will come in the next 2 years as he prepares and serves a mission for the church. I enjoy having him home early from school and the random lunch date, I am so grateful for having him in my life....
