Jacey's Dance Recital

Jacey recently had her 1st dance recital (late April)

Here are some cute pictures of her and her dance class.

She did great and didn't even get stage fright.
She loves to sing and dance and had a lot of fun this past year
(from September to April).

In the video Jacey is in the back row, second one from the left

Sorry about the video quality I moved at one point to try to see around someones head, its tricky

Hope you enjoy a taste of Jacey's dance class

Jaceys 1st visit from the tooth fairy

Jacey lost her first tooth about 2 or 3 weeks ago...

here are a few pictures to prove it... she's very proud.




She was worried at first when her tooth was loose and didn't realize it was normal and okay for her to lose her tooth, she quickly changed her mind and started jumping up and down(excitedly) when she learned about the tooth fairy.

Big Trucks (March 20 09)

We took Jacey and Evan to a construction area near our house and let them check out the construction equipment.

(Evan is 2 weeks away from his second birthday and Jacey will be 5 in about 2 months)

October 16th

Hiking with the family October 16th...these are the first pics with Evan's new haircut.
He looks like a big boy with his hair shorter... and he was begining to look like a hippie with his hair long and shaggy.

Cowboy day (taken sept 24th)

Jacey had a cowboy day at preschool back in September I am posting some of those pics now.

Chloe, Jacey, Colton Sept 26-27th 2008

Here my cute nephew Colton...about 6 months old, I never got my kids to keep a hat on...he looks so cute in his.


What a sweet Chloe girl
(11 months old)



Some pictures of my niece Chloe (Katie's daughter) some include Jacey too
from Natalie and Katie's Sept 26th-27th visit

Jacey and Colton

Here are some pictures of Jacey with her cousin Colton ( 6 months old)

Evan loves spaghetti

Heres Evan on Sept 25th 2008 having a nice spaghetti lunch








There's my monkey man, he's so crazy, but look at that smile!



Watch out mom, I'm gonna drop it...you know I'm not afraid to do it
(Evan turned 18 months a few days ago on October 4th.)

September Family Pics

Natalie, Katie, Colton and Chloe came to visit and while taking pictures we got some family photos in.

Evan's rash

something happened the other day, it looks like Evan broke out in some crazy rash...I'm not sure what to do.

What do you think?










The second picture really captures it, ( I think he might have been mid-sneeze there)

Well I looked it up in a medical dictionary and it looks like it might be...
... red-vine-us conjuctivitis

I guess a good washing and keeping him away from the licorice will help next time

Jacey's 1st day of Pre-school

Last week Jacey had her first day of pre-school on September 2nd. She is so excited and loves to learn and be with friends. She also started dance class this past Monday September 8th ( I will take some dance pictures next class for the blog). She goes to school Tues, Wed, and Thursday from 8:15-11am. Here are some pictures I took the first day of school before she left.

Colton's Blessing/ Family Pics

These are a couple of family pics we took at Colton's Blessing. June 29th 2008.

Jacey Collage

These were cute pictures of Jacey I recently re-discovered and made a cute Jacey Collage with. I think most of them were January 07 some might have been in the spring. Jacey is about 2 to 2 and a half here. I am going back and forth between doing new pictures and older stuff I want to catch up on, so bare with me if all the blog posts aren't new pictures.

Lake Powell (April 2008)

Here are some pictures from when we went to Lake Powell. We kind of came a different way that Nick remembers going as a kid. The thing is when he was a kid you took this dirt road to the parking lot and the water was pretty much right there, maybe a few yards away. We took the same road parked at the same parking lot and had to hike about a mile or two to get to the water ( because the water levels had gone down so much).
When we got there the water and ground was kind of muddy.
Next time we'll go to main part where everyone is we thought it would be cool to go to a different part that wasn't as busy.

Conference Weekend Photos

Here are some pictures from conference weekend. It was good to have a lot of us together although it was probably a little overwhelming for new mom Natalie, sorry Nat!

I think I might have some more pictures and if anyone else has some from that weekend they want to send me that would be good.


Theres a cute picture of me and Nick with Jacey ( I think Evan might have been sleeping).

A great Picture of Matt with Evan

Also Katie with the girls (Chloe, Savannah, Bethany and Jacey

Fathers Day for Nick

Here is the photo shop file I put onto a t-shirt for nick for fathers day.

I put the shirt on Jacey, it was huge, (2xl) and had her go into the bedroom in the morning with the shirt on and say happy fathers day, IT was cute!!!

Tub Time (pictures taken in March 2008)

Here are some cute bath time pictures I had of Jacey and Evan and figured they would be cute to scrapbook. (double click to view pictures bigger).

Evan loves the water and just splashes like crazy.

We will be getting a new outdoor swimming pool across the street and should be finished in the next few weeks, once its ready we will be sure to get some cute pool pics for you.

Visiting Natalie In June

We visited Natalie last week while Nick did some training in Salt Lake for his new job.
This is my first digital scrap booking page...and its all thanks to natalie teaching me while I was there.
Thanks Nat.

She did a photo shoot with the kids together while I was taking a shower and the pictures turned out pretty good, although Evan isn't very smiley (he is getting 2 molars in right now plus 2 other teeth on the bottom) and he hasn't been super happy about it.

Love Ya
Julie, Nick, Jacey and Evan Smith
