Bad Hair Day!!!


Unfortunately Aysia has already started the dreaded bad hair days. It is so nice to have a little girl with lots of hair, but it can be disastrous as well.

Box Elder County Fair






We have made it a yearly tradition to attend the Box Elder Fair. We enjoy watching Kassidi, Kyler, and Chase auction off the pigs they have raised throughout the year. This was Kassidi’s first year and she did an amazing job. The rides are always the kid’s favorite as well as the food and games. We look forward to next year. Thanks Smoot Family!!!

1st Day of School



Jayden is officially in 1st grade. It was actually a bitter-sweet day. He was so excited so I was happy for him, but I am really going to miss him around the house while he is gone for 6 ½ hours. He says his favorite subjects are lunch and recess. He must take after his Dad. Skyler also started his 2nd year of pre-school and will be learning to read. The other day he was talking about Heavenly Father and out of the blue mentioned we could just call him “Henry” for short. I asked him why we would call him Henry and he replied because then we don’t have to say “Henry Father”. Apparently he has been calling him by the wrong name for all of these years and I never noticed.

St. George






We were finally able to make a trip to St George to see the newest member of our family, Ace!! He is so adorable. John, Mikelle and Ace just moved into a beautiful new home and make such a cute little family. Thanks to our friends Eric and Kim, we had a place to stay. The pool was an added bonus. We were able to attend a RoadRunners baseball game with front row seats. We won of course. Thanks John!!! It was a quick, but relaxing trip and made it all worth it to see our little Ace.

Adorable Hyrum






We were so excited when we heard that Jared and Jodi’s cute family was coming to visit. Jared was able to complete a medical rotation at the U of U at the same time Jodi was planning a visit. He, however, was scheduled to arrive 2 weeks before Jodi so we were excited when Jared decided to bring Hyrum along. We had such a great time with Hyrum while Jared was in clinicals. The kids absolutely adored him and loved him, sometimes a little too much.

Seven Peaks






Thanks to Grandma Robinson, we were all able to enjoy an evening at Seven Peaks. Jayden and Skyler’s favorite ride was the enclosed tube slide. We definitely plan to make this a yearly tradition.

Good Morning Sunshine!!!





Jayden and Skyler’s favorite meal is breakfast. Jayden decided to make pancakes, with a little of Mom’s help of course. He did an amazing job of adding and mixing all of the ingredients as well as flipping the pancakes. Skyler was upset he wasn’t able to contribute so I let him make the sausage all by himself. (Microwave for 2 minutes & PRESTO!!!)
