Personal Progress

Since I started Young Womens, I was kind of dreading Personal Progress ( Duty to God, but for girls..). But, me and my friend Hannah Boots, started to do a contest on it, on who would finish first! Obviously she won, but we both got it in the end. Whenever a girl finishes up all of the requirements, they get their photo taken. Here were a few of mine!

Silly Spencer

I caught Spencer trying to stuff this up a overly stretched out sweatshirt.

Cedrica

Since we are just hanging out at the house today, it got a little boring. So I decided to turn Cedric into a Cedrica! Everyone got a kick out of it. I finally got a sister! Just kidding....

Hola Amigos!

Hey! It has been quite a while since I have posted anything. Life with the Smiths is going good! Everyone (except me) drove to Denver. Dad had a Dental Clinic, and so the rest of the family went there, also. They all hung out at the Aquarium for dinner, went and toured the Natural Museum of Science and History, swam at the hotel, and since Jay keeps reminding me, he "worked out" at the gym at the hotel. While they were having fun at Denver, I was at a friend's house having a Girls Movie Night. It was a lot of fun as well. Tomorrow is no school, so we were all planning to go do stuff with friends and family. But, this afternoon ended it all. Kyle decided to throw-up at church, and Cedric as well when Dad drove them back home. (Cedric hasn't been feeling very happy since he has been cutting in new teeth.) Other than that, all is well.

Time to go make some Giant Snickerdoodles!

Busy Baby

Cedric, at a mere 14 months, has already graduated to one of my typically busy and mischievous toddlers. Beyond the expected climbing on the table, and out of his high chair, dumping out the pantry items and digging for snacks in the garbage at a constant rate, he has gone to whole new level. Cedric just LOVES, to methodically put all of my dirty laundry, from the hamper, into the bathtub and then turn the water on all over them! How such a little guy can think up such stuff is beyond me. He also turns on the space heater by himself and weighs himself on the scale every morning before we get into the shower together (now that, he learned from me)! Busy, busy, baby!

Christmas in Canon City
