January events

 



Lindsey sent me this picture of Pretty Millie with her doll dressed in the dress I made with the left over fabric from the Sound of Music costumes.  It made my heart happy!  


Harold and I have invited other senior citizens and empty nesters to our home on two Mondays a month to have a study group with the Come Follow Me lessons on the Book of Mormon.  Only five have come so far but others have expressed an interest!  I love it!  


Polly made all the Fairbanks boys darling pillowcases of their favority cartoon characters.  This is Zain's with Bluey and Bingo - he saw it and said: Wow - I luv it!!  
Polly and Chris brought five puppies to visit Bountiful - Reid was so excited to have them go to his Pre-school - both morning and afternoon sessions;  

On January 17, Heidi stopped for lunch with us in Bountiful.  She had been in Utah for a few days on her way from CA to WA.  It was super fun to have three daughters to lunch! 
We have seven beautiful daughters!  


On January 19, John Montgomery flew to Utah to visit with his sister Vickie who lives in Kaysville.  He stopped at our house and gave me some tie-dyed tee shirts that Matthew is making for a project I am doing.  They are amazing and it was good to visit with John for a few minutes! 



Here is Matt with Berkly and Gaea modeling his designs!  


We are very lucky to be able to have these cute boys stay with us once in a while.  Here they are eating noodles and we love it!

 On Saturday January 13, we drove to St. George.  This is the sunset from the Parking Lot - we did some shopping and got some flowers for our dear friend Laurel Leavitt - we were staying at her house. We called Joel as we were nearing town and he said he was at Zions Park with some friends - wonderful!  Wonderful Laurel Leavitt - we met her and Fred in North Hills CA.  They are the nicest people - Fred has been on the other side of the veil for four years.  She is so gracious to allow us to use her guest room and feed us breakfast, etc.  Love and respect forever!   Dave and Sherene Dillons house - they are going to be the Office Couple in the Manchester, England Mission.  They enter the MTC in Provo on February 5th.  They have come to several of our church meetings - farewell and homecoming - we were delighted to be invited to theirs!  Sunday, Jan. 14th.  Dave was a graduate student of Harold's at SIU - 1975!  He and the o...

Wonderful Blanket - Wonderful Family!

  This Thanksgiving was very special - for the first time since Sam and Allie's wedding ALL the siblings were together!  We had dinner at Heather and Chris Kroeber's house.  This used to be Gramps and Granny's so that added to the occasion.  Here are the 12 original Smith Family members. The whole crew - what a MOB!!! Love everyone of these people so much!  Ten children, ten spouses, 34 of 38 grandchildren!!!  We were missing Jordan, Christian, Maddie and Savanna.  We found a package on our front porch and it had this amazing blanket in it!!  Warm and soft and wonderful!  When Jennie showed Sophie this picture - Sophie thought it was a picture and thought it would take up a whole wall to hang it!!!   Polly and Chris had it made and sent to us - - and we love it and all the people in it!!!

January Happenings

Image
 Sophie came back from Christmas Break, January 6th.  We picked her up at the airport. We took care of her car for her while she was at home.  Her new semester starts on Monday, January 8th -  she'll do well!   January 7th we woke up the the most snow we have had this season.  Isn't our big pine tree pretty?  We shoveled a couple of times - it is easier to shovel 2 inches than 4!!  We have a long front walkway!  I love how much the snow makes things quieter and cleaner!   We enjoy living in this little house!  It is all the room we need and so convenient to Fairbanks.  Great neighbors and ward family.  Bountiful is a nice place to live!  Large icicle at the corner of our back porch!  Reminds me of the huge one when I was a child in Sandy. Dad told us not to touch it and Derrell and I didn't obey - and it broke a window in our house!
