Smith Family Halloween Party

We all had a blast getting together in our costumes. We ate Chicken Noodle Soup or Brocolli Cheese soup in our Pumpkin (shaped) Bread Bowls. Aunt Leisa brought Yummy salad. We bought enough balloons for everyone in the family to write a note to baby Bridger and send them up to him in heaven. We ecorated the many cookies and had a bunch left over!

So, remember the balloons? Well, somehow my mom cut the strings and they all flew up to our high cieling in our front room. We all worked together, grabbing fans to blow the balloons toward the balcony and making a long stick with a broom on the end to retrieve the ballons. It was a funny team-builiding experience.

Waiting for everyone to come outside so we can let the balloon notes go

Off they go to Heaven!

It's that time of year again, TIME TO MAKE HALLOWEEN SUGAR COOKIES! :)

Every year for family sunday dinner we get together and decorate cookies with homemade frosting, candies and sprinkles! Not to meantion dressing up in our Halloween Costumes! My Daddy makes his homemade chicken noodle soup to be put in the pumpkin shaped (and colored) sourdough bread rolls, and everyone eats the cookies.

Aunty Nichole and Kolten, hard at work.

Carson, Mom, Kolten and Britta

Kolten REALLY wanted some of the yummy cookie dough, but Nichole didn't want him to get a tummy ache. Kolten then made his "sad face" and Nichole just HAD to give in!

Me, and the rest of em'

PACKED WEEK!

Ok, here's a long post about the last week's happenings. On monday, I had my 50's themed Choir Concert. I got to dress up and dance around having a blast with all my choir buds! On Tuesday evening my Mom's side of the family all went to The Red Barn, a fun little barn with a pumpkin patch and delic' Ice Cream, to get out the word of Congenital Heart Defects to other families with heart problems. We do this in honor of our baby cousin Bridger, who passes away in August. We love you Danny, Staci, and Bridger! The Van was giving us some problems, changing gears at random intervals. After school on Wednesday our small little family left to Wolf Creek, Utah, in our tiny Ford Focus, because the Van was still in the shop. On our way throught the Canyon we ate at a little Cafe with a lovely view of a river and the fall colors. We had a wonderful few days away from the world, enjoying each other's company. Raquet Ball, Tennis, Hot Tubs, Movies (Iron Man, and The Proposal were excellent!), Fall Leaves, all together very nice. On our way home earlier today we stopped off at the Gateway to see Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (WONDERFUL MOVIE by the way!) then we also finished the day by going to Cornbelly's at Thanksgiving Point.

All Poodle'd Up!

The cool cloud was at the bottom of the mountains as well
Foxes were very friendly here, the flash was on on my camera (my crappy phone) and the eyes look scary, but they were actually cute little creatures My Mom BEFORE my Dad got to her...
AFTER my Dad put a leaf in her "beautiful red hair". Then on our way back she still had it in and we were laughing at her as she walked into the gas station with a leaf stixking out the back of her head. :)

I sure had a wonderful time, but it's always nice to be back home, where I can sleep in my own bed!!! AHHH!!! :)

Sunday Dinner

Can I just say I LOVE when the whole family comes over for Sunday Dinner?!? We all have such a jolly good time laughing it up and making fun of each other! :) Today we celebrated Auntie Leisa's Birthday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! And played on our Air Hockey/Pool table in the "hangout spot" (as my Daddy calls it, really it's just the basement filled with old furniture and christmas lights!) It's funny to see all the cars in front of our house, couldn't even get all the cars in the picture!

Re-doing the Garage Stairs

Well my Mama and Daddy have been wanting to re-do the garage stairs ever since we moved in. So, the last 4 days that's what we've been doing! :) A big thanks to all the help from my Papa and Uncle Garrett! We are so glad you, Nichole, and Kolten are back in Utah to stay!
