Fun-Filled Weekend

Don't you just love having all of your friends and family around? We sure do! This weekend some of our best friends came down to visit us. We went shopping, hung out, and went to the UNLV vs. University of Utah football game. We also stopped by my parents house to visit and see my sister who is down visiting from BYU-Idaho. We loved being around all of these fun people!

Pumpkin Picking

Last week Connor and I went with our play group to the Gilcrease Orchards where we picked our pumpkins for Halloween. Connor loved running around picking up all of the pumpkins he could find. How fun to pick our pumpkins from an orchard!

Conference Weekend

This weekend was quite an adventure for us. First, Connor and I made cookies to take with us to Brian Head. Connor was happy to help Mom stir the cookie batter, and then eat it! We then got to Brian Head where it was freezing cold and very windy. We met Eric's parents and our good friends Brandon and Kelsey at the cabin. We were able to watch Conference on Saturday, but on Sunday the power was out all day. We took lots of rhino rides and bundled up to keep warm. Sunday afternoon Eric's parents were getting ready to leave when we heard a huge crash. It was a very windy day and there were a lot of trees falling all around the cabin. Come to find out that the huge crash was actually a tree that had fallen on top of Eric's truck. Just a few moments before the crash, everyone had been outside around the truck, but the cold winds drew us back into the house. Thank goodness no one was hurt! It was sad to see our truck get totaled by the tree, but we were so happy no one was injured. What a weekend!

Happy Birthday Eric!

Yesterday Eric turned 25! He is getting so old. :) We celebrated with the Smith side of Eric's family by having a big barbeque and a fun game of White Elephant. Eric got lots of nice gifts, including money for his on-going jeep project. :) We ate mint chocolate chip ice cream cake and Connor spent most of the night watching the movie "Cars." It was a great party. Happy Birthday Eric!

Puppy Love

This weekend we added a new member to our family...our new puppy Dana. She is a three month old weimaraner puppy. She is a sweet dog and a fun addition to our home. She loves to be around our family and Eric and Connor love her to pieces. We are excited to have her with us!
