Giving Thanks!

Jersi is thankful for Preschool. She got to make this lovely turkey hat at her grandma's preschool, and is loving it!

I've decided to name these three "the triple threat", that's right big wide world, watch out for these three!! ( I say this because we are mostly dominated by boys on the Smith side...we girls need to represent!)

(Cousins 4 life: Kamryn, Jersi and Makenna)

We stole baby Kamryn for a photo shoot.....I don't even think mama knew.

Jersi's photo skills! What a sweet baby!! Love those cheeks!

Cousins getting ready to make apple turkeys!

Look at these skills.

Crew said he was thankful for food this year.

Jersi said she was thankful for family.

We decided collectively as a family that Denim was thankful for snacks, and here's the proof. I think maybe we can say the same for Drewser too!

I am thankful for so many things this year....

My Husband

My Health

My Testimony

Love this place!

Love our cabin in Alpine! I grew up going here since I was eight.

My kids love it too, and this Fall it was exceptionally beautiful!

Look at those long piggies!

Piles and piles of leaves were raked...

Thanks to Cody's parents and Cody, the task was accomplished!

Until next time!!!!

Family Fun!

FORTS were the BEST when we were kids! My kids love them too!

Finished project....simple, but fun!

White Trash Par-tay!

Me and my boyfriend Earl!!

Somebody showed up to the party in this! Talk about hard core!

Cody and I tied with this fabulous couple for best "white trash" costume.

Our spam pig was majorly disgusting. (One of the many fabulous games.)

The whole gang at the party!!

Thanks Heath for the party! Can't wait for next year!

CREATIVE pumpkin WINNERS!

We WON! Creative pumpkin award!! Since Cody's in the bug business, we thought this scorpion pumpkin was fitting.

Cody's mom has a party every year. This time we really got onto it!

Crew had his very own creation, and was very proud of it!

Our ward Trunker Treat was on Cody's B-day, so instead of decorating our trunk scary, we surprised Cody with a B-Day trunk. ( I made him pass out the candy so everyone could wish him a happy birthday!)

I was dying over this costume, especially the orange tights!! Denim was having fun too!

The tail was my favorite!

Probably the only time this dancer mom will get tights on her little boy. I was loving it!!

What cute BUNS!!

FOUR

Four is the BEST age for a party!! She was sooo excited! Happy Birthday Jersi!

Chucky Cheese it is!

Denim wasn't so sure about this hat business!

Super Surprise!

What a surprise!! Cody took me to Coronado Island for my birthday. I had no idea. I was shocked when he said, "Pack your bags, we are going for 4 days to California kidless." What?? I was slightly frantic. "Wait, what about my carpools, I have to teach dance, who is watching the kids?? Denim is teething!" He had it all ready, called all the carpools, canceled dance a week ago, and asked his mom to watch the kids. He had already packed them and they were in the car. Wow!! Was I impressed. I was seriously shocked for a long time, not really grasping the reality of what was about to happen!

We had a great time!!
