August 2012

Lots of things happened in August...
     We said goodbye to friends, went backpacking, went to the Howell family reunion, went to the Beaver County Fair, went to the zoo, went to the Brigham City Temple open house, went to a Bee's game, and did a lot of playing.


I got a much needed girls night out to say goodbye to friends moving from the Village.  We have made so many good friends here and are always sad to see them go.

To Celebrate Grandpa Smith turning 60 the boys planned a surprise backpacking trip.  Roger had no clue.  They surprised him at the clinic when he thought that he was going into a room to see a patient.  They took him to the South Fork of North Creek.  Some of the older cousins were able to go.  They all had a really fun time hiking, fishing, and camping.

He is a big boy.  He can sit up
 Every August we have the Howell Family reunion.  It has been at my parent's house ever since my grandma moved in.  This year my dad was able to get a pony for all the kids.  It was very popular and I don't think it got too much rest.

My family has participated in stock shows for as long as I can remember and now we are passing it on to our kids.  This year was Brian's last year to show lambs.  Every year at the Beaver County Fair they do a peewee class.  Jaeley participated this year with the help of Brian and Grandpa.

Right after this picture Jaeley was waiting for her turn and a lamb pulled her hair while trying to eat it resulting in lots of crying.  After that happened she was scared of the sheep every time it baaed.  She is now okay and is not scared anymore.  I thought it was pretty funny.


August means the start of the football season.  Rhett has trained Jaeley at a young age to cheer on the Utes.

Go Utes!!!
Jaeley is always talking about how she wants to go the temple.  We thought it would be the perfect opportunity to give her the chance during the Brigham City Temple open house.  We had a really good time exploring the beautiful temple.
