The pool was nice. A bit chilly.

But, the boys had a blast.

There were some kids who played with

Daeson. I have life jackets for both of them,

so I don't worry a whole lot about them drowning.

The next day, we hung out with

harley and kelly. We had a great time.

We went to the botanical gardens by the prison.

I haven't been there since our Sr. trip in HS!

Rock wall

There is a rockwall in Rexburg. Troy, Peggy and Daeson went for a climb while Tevan and I were in Preston at the bridal shower.

Daeson did really well.

Rigby Lake

While on a cruise, Adam was certified to scuba dive. So, we went to the lake and he taught Troy what to do.





The water was a pretty nice temp, they never put on the wetsuits.
The third person in the pic is our cousin, Jayden. She came with Adam and Kayla.










And, there they go. They never made it too deep, but they were there a good hour-hour and a half.







Adam is a great teacher, and Troy really enjoyed it! Thanks, Adam!








The kids, Kayla and I spent the afternoon on the shore. The kids were in and out of the water. I got scortched! It still hurts!!!



This is miss Adalyn, my niece

Daeson "Swimming"

Daeson, Tevan and Adalyn

We had a GREAT time! Thanks Adam and Kayla! Thanks for the yummy chicken, too! We will definately have to do it again! How nice is it that we can live so close to a fun activity!!!

Cress Creek

We had a little picnic at the shady table. The kids ate okay, but the kids were more interested in the water!

My neighbor and BFF, Barbara, and I took our kids to Cress Creek for the day. Her sis Annette met us up there. It was blast and the kids did great! After the hike, we drove to a small camp site and roasted hotdogs and marshmallows. Annette let the kids splash buckets of water on the fires to put them out. The kids loved it!!! Thanks, Barbara and Annette for a great day!!!!

Cam and Daeson hi-fiving

My cute bug napper, Tevan

What a cute face!!!!! The kids loved palying in the creek. It was cool and refreshing. There were some very nice people there who played and cahetted witht the kids.

Jaxon Ty Smith

Congratulations to my brother Justin and his wife Hailey...they welcomed a baby boy to their home on my anniversary: July 20. He is the sweetest thing I have ever seen...well, maybe a close tie. However, he is adorable and I just love him to pieces! He was a week and a day over due. He weighed 7 lb 4 oz and was 21 in long. What a doll. We went to see him on July 23, 2009. Here are some pics of Daeson with the newest member of our family:

my first cake gig

I love to decorate cakes. I am not the greatest, but I like to do it so it is never a chore! My neighbor asked me to make her daughter a cake for her 5th birthday. Lindy came over and picked out the colors and told me how she wanted it decorated the day I made it. She was so excited!!! The picture's color is off. it was dark purple and a lighter purple with black in the middle.

Bike rides

We went on a bike ride tonight, this is how we found the kids:

Harris Reunion

Every year we have the Harris reunion. Because it is always the week of the 20th, we do not

always make it. This year we went to Stoddard Creek. here are some pics:

Tevan insisted on stripping down! He loved to be all nat-ur-al!

Ben and Michelle

Aunt Terry

Kaden, Daeson, and Nicolie-Olie playing and having fun!

We had a good time visiting, but I was definitely ready to go home. Tevan kept disappearing and running off. I got tired of chasing him around. Troy went on a couple of hikes, so I was stuck back in camp. I am not a fan of camping with two-year olds!

9 Years

Troy and I celebrated our 9th anniversary on the 20th. It was nice and I am a lucky girl to have a great husband. We took our kids to the Gallups who agreed to take them overnight for us. THANK YOU!!!! The kids had a great time with them and just loved spending the night. We went to WhiteWater Grill (japanese style/fusion style). It was good. I had noodle stir-fry and Troy had the duck. It was very good. We met a very nice man there and chatted with him for a very long time. Although it didn't seem too long, we counted about 2.5 hours. He is Chuck from Ft. Collins and has 2 kids and a great wife from the sounds of it. We stayed at the Marriott...it was a great room. That morning, we ran Troy's route and picked the kids up. We then headed to a family reunion. It was a very busy two days, but it was fun. I cannot believe it has been 9 years already. We have lived in our house for 6 years and we are so happy here. We have definatley grown together. But, in honor of our 9 yr celebration, I would like to name 9 things I love about Troy.
1. He is a great provider for our family. It is not easy to be a stay-at-home mom with this economy, but he would never let that change...even if I wanted it to.
2. He is level headed. Sometimes I get big ideas and he has to talk me down from actually doing it. We are a great balance like that.
3. He is hardly mad at me. If I do something ( mostly spend a lot of money) he gets over it quickly.
4. He bathes the kids most nights. I don't love to bath me kids, so he does it. The only nights I don't is when he is not home.
5. He lets me got to my parent's house without grumbling. Because they live so far away, he lets me stay for extended periods of time with out complaint. And the house is clean when I get home!
6. He will let me pick the movie. I love chick flicks...although H S Musical 3 was not my fave, he sat through is with me. We do, however, enjoy the Office together.
7. He is a great daddy. He loves our kids with all his might. And I love that about him. No one will ever be able to call him a dead beat dad, it is just not in him to be like that.
8. He brushes my hair or rubs my head every night. I love that. If I could get a scalp massage everyday I would. He is so good about putting me to sleep like that.
9. He is supportive in my decisions. Troy may not be the most religious guy in the world, and I have finally accepted that, but he has NEVER stood in the way of the kids and I going to church. He even drove the girls' stuff to camp this year and picked us up. He is very supportive of my callings and my religious endeavors. That means so much to me.

I could go on and on, it may seem like I have already, but I love Troy more and more every day. He is a wonderful person who would do anything for anyone. He works hard for our family and takes care of our home needs as well. Nine years will eventually be 19 years and then 29. I I hope we have a long life together. He has taught me more than any person ever could. I love you, Babe!! Happy anniversary!
