Iowa

Glade and Carolyn spent Halloween weekend in Iowa enjoying our newest grandson---Matthew and Mary, too! Wish we could have spent another day or two.

General Conference weekend

2010-11-02T02:36:00.000-07:00

Gma Smith kept Britni's three oldest kids while she and Derek went to General Conference. Ryan and family came Thursday night for an essential oils meeting, and I even had Brigham for awhile.

Gma supported Dathan's and Blake's soccer team---even during conference.

Gpa had the magic touch with Johanna after quite a while of crying.

Carolyn's class

2010-11-02T01:59:00.000-07:00

I'm taking a digital photo class this semester. I'm learning some, but it's often frustrating. Here are a few of my shots, not photo-shopped. The kids are mostly sober-faced because I can't get their picture taken when they are smiling naturally. I'm too slow making all my adjustments to the camera!

Trenton's Bday

2010-11-01T22:21:00.000-07:00

Trenton turned 19---and we talked him in to staying around long enough for cake and ice cream!

Trenton and Lincoln paused to pose.

Britni's family helped celebrate.

Arkansas 2010 Vacation

2010-08-22T21:43:00.000-07:00

For family vacation Glade, Jessica, Trenton, and I went to Arkansas to visit Shaun and his family. We spent one afternoon jet skiing on Beaver Lake. (The kids were bummed because you had to be 25 to drive.) The next day we spent on a boat with a tube and wake board. We did a little cliff jumping, too. Shaun, Trenton, and Glade also went on a fishing trip. They caught their limit in about 2 hours. Cheramie's freezer is full of stripers now. Glade and Trenton went home and Jeck and I stayed a few days longer so Shaun and Cheramie could go on an overnight date. It was great fun. The babies are running all over and Anderson thoroughly enjoyed being with Jessica again.

Stefani & Guy Nolan

2009-04-04T22:48:00.000-07:00

I finally got Stefani & Guy's wedding pictures on my computer. Here's one of my favorites. I hope to learn how to put them all on a web album so you can see all of them.

Palmer Spring Break

2009-03-18T23:33:00.000-07:00

The boys got impatient waiting for Uncle Trenton

to give them a ride on the 4 wheeler,

so started pushing it themselves.

Kaitlyn and Bryant were glad Trenton had school,

so they could enjoy the computers.

The kids got out Great Gpa Smith's old

mattress pad and used it to slide down

the stairs innumerable times-sometimes

crashing, but mostly fast fun

We enjoyed Gpa's jelly bean lesson. Mason

and Dathan show which color they chose.

Kaitlyn waiting for turn?!

Addy and Raely trying to see what color to choose.

Blake and Savannah trying to choose

a color without seeing in bag.

Shannon and kids came here after the dental

convention to enjoy part of their spring break.

We celebrated Gpa Smith's Bday.

2009-03-18T17:35:00.000-07:00

Trenton, Jessica, and I went to Mesa to watch Shannon's kids while she and Glade attended the state dental convention. We stayed at Aunt Jess's, Aunt April's, and Uncle Jay's. (We didn't want to overwhelm anyone!) On Thursday Trenton and I took them to a chocolate factory, to Cabelas, and swimming at Aunt Jess's. I kept forgetting to take my camera with us. Friday they played with Spencer, Dallen, and Carson, and Aunt Jeck and I took them swimming again. The pool's heater was not working, so we kept hopping from pool to hot tub. Uncle Brad surprised everyone by coming home from Colorado a day early. Saturday Jessica and Trenton came homeShannon visited Palmer relatives, and I cleaned my car. When Dad finished meetings, we went to our favorite food store and headed home. What an eventful Bday for Glade.

One of the girls on EA's team is sick, so the coach came and asked Jessica to play. She wasn't playing this year as she chose to do show choir instead. Now she's doing both, but only plays in the home matches.

I stayed with Shannon's kids while Rick and Shannon went to Colorado. We had a great time. Mason custom designed a Bday card for me to send to Shaun and Cheramie. Here's a picture of Addy and Raely enjoying snack time. I had to run Bryant to the church for Cub Scouts, and my pressure canner was still going (have you ever canned at Flagstaff altitude!), so I had to leave Kaitlyn home alone. She got so scared that she hid in the pantry and peeked out at the canner every few minutes to make sure the pressure was staying constant. I talked to her on the phone most of the time I was gone. What a brave girl.

Glade Smith Family FHE

2009-02-16T11:23:00.000-08:00

We have a monthly FHE together with all who can make it. Eveyone's invited. Gpa Smith gave the lesson on the armor of God. Dathan, Blake, and Savannah put on the whole armor of God. Guy and Stef enjoyed, and Trenton was ???. Jeck was taking pictures, hence none of her. I guess Gpa and Gma didn't do anything picture worthy!

We had a little snow two weeks ago, all melted by 10:30

Gila Valley Temple ground breaking. Jessica sang in the choir. Ryan, Spencer, Dallan, and Carson came. All who wanted to got to help break the ground. (Actually, it looked rototilled already.) The area we worked on is where the Celestial room will be.

Christmas 2008

I'm trying to learn how to do my blog, so have patience! I can't figure out how to get the pic labels by the pic, so play a matching game!!

Grandma Lunt's Birthday Party

2009-01-18T14:30:00.000-08:00

Everyone(well at least all that live in town) came over to celebrate Grandma Lunt's birthday. We had a hearty meal of grilled-cheese sanwiches, and for her birthday cake, leftover cake from Stefani and Guy's wedding reception!

Grandma told us not to even try fitting all of the candles on her one slice of cake, so we just put six on.
