What a Month!!!

Dave's Dad, who had been struggling with his health, past away Feb. 7th. The last time we visited with him he expressed how he hated going though his health issues without Betty Rose. This was about 3 week before he pasted away. We are sad that both of them are gone now and we will miss them, but we know how happy they must be together and no longer struggling with their health.


We also had a new grandson, Hunter Stone, on the same day as Daves' Dad's funeral. Since the only people reading this blog are our family, you can go to Kevin and Amanda's blog to read all about it. It is quite the story. It's another testiment that we are truely children of a loving Heavenly Father and He watches over us.

On the lighter side!!!

One of the things I have struggled with is making bread. The family will atest to the fact that I have been asked not to try. Well, I have succeeded with pictures to prove it. So, family, cross that item of the list of things to tease Mom about!!!


This may not seems like a big deal to most people, but to the Smith Clan this has real meaning!!!


Two loaves of actual Bread Bread Rising Wow!!!!

A Taste of Winter! January 2010

We spent a few days in Utah visiting with the Utah Smith's and checking in on Dave's Dad. Burl and Dennis were in Hawaii so we stayed in their home. What a treat! We had a great week visiting with family. Our trip home was going good until we got to Reno and Highway 80 closed over Donner Pass, and actually that was kind of fun too as we spent an extra night in Reno. We took this picture going over the mountain the next morning. It was just beautiful--I know this isn't a big deal to people who live in the snow, but being able to just go THROUGH the snow and arriving home, pulling into the garage without having to shovel snow was a big deal to us!
