New addition

Well we are excited for our new addition!!!! Baby Girl Smith should be here sometime the end of May! We are all excited and ready for her to come. Ashlee can't wait to finally have a sister and Hyrum and Cole are just happy to have a baby in the house. Busy times are coming in the Smith house!

Ashlee was baptized this year!! Can't believe she is 8 years old. Time has really just flown by. The day was so great. Family came from far and wide and braved the snow. It was an incredible day for our family. 

For the Fourth of July we got to have an awesome time!! The 3rd of July was an amazing party at the Shaws. We got to enjoy fireworks and amazing food with great friends. We then drove to Pocatello and 

got to celebrate with Jed's family. Adam and Liz were up so the kids had a blast with their cousins and 

their home is always a good time. We had great fireworks again and lots of fun! Leland and Hyrum had 

a great time with their Firework tanks... fun times!

Wow little late!!

Just discovered this post I never published...too funny. This had be be at least 3 years ago!!

Hyrum is 5 today!!

Wow I can not believe that my sweet little Hyrum has turned 5. He is such a little joy and is honestly happy about 85% of the time. I just wanted to post some funny things about Hyrum:
1. His current favorite song is "Standing Outside the Fire" by Garth Brooks - as we live in PR there are times when I listen to old cd's rather than the spanish music, which is how he first heard this song. He loves it and sings it at the top of his lungs. It is honestly the cutest thing ever.
2. He LOVES Thomas the train. He will play with his trains all day. He evens likes to get out the list of trains to check off which ones he has. Of course the creators of Thomas are very smart and keep coming out with new ones.
3. He loves to play with his big sister Ashlee. When she gets home from school they spend the next 4 hours playing.
4. He just has such a nice personality and loves to make people happy.  I love it when I ask him to do something and says "Ok mommy" melts my heart.
5. Nothing is better than one of his running and jumping hugs.

Catch up time!!!

Wow how quickly time flies!!! With facebook it seems like posting falls to the wayside for me, but I also want to have a family record. A lot has happened over the past year. In June we found out that we would be moving from Puerto Rico. It was a little scary not knowing what we were going to do, but we know that we would be led to the proper place. After much thought and prayer we decided it  was time for Jed to return to school. So we moved to Butte, Montana so Jed could attend Montana Tech for Petroleum Engineering. It has been a fun move and we are enjoying being here. Montana is absolutely beautiful. Our first winter hasn't been too bad thus far so we have been lucky. We will be here at least 4 years, maybe a little longer while he finishes up his degree.

Ponce Visit

During the visit we decided to head down to Ponce for the day. Jed works down in Ponce so it was a good way to show them the island and Jed's work. In Ponce they have a town square with lots of cool things to see. There is this church and a really cool old Firestation. We toured the firestation with the kids and got to see an older one. Across from the pavalion is a cute little ice cream shop. Jake and Carolyn used to go there when they lived here and showed it to us. It is soooo good and a must for anyone headed to the area. We had a really great day full of adventure. Hope you enjoy the pics...and remember you too can visit these places (hint, hint to anyone and everyone. I am recruiting visitors!)
