SMITH FAMILY REUNION

Yeah!!! Way-to-go Lance and Todd! Our family reunion was great. This year we centered it around the Teton Dam Marathon. It was such a thrill to watch Todd and Lance come through the finish line. This was Lance's first marathon, and he did great! Trev felt bad that he couldn't run. He had an injury that kept him from running the marathon. We'll run next year! :) Anyone want to run the 10k with me?

Thanks to all those who came, especially those who came long distances. I know you made sacrfices to be here. Thanks to all for your help with the food and all the cleanup. The children made lifelong friends, and they miss them already. Elli is very much at home in my flower pot on the porch. She was a hit at the reunion. Thanks again everybody. Ken and I love you all!

As I look back on the past year, I am extremely grateful for our blessings. Dispite the confusion and state of our country, I have thought about all the little miracles that are happening all around us, and with extended family. I continue to believe in a Heavenly Father who loves us, and hears and answers prayers.

I want to thank my family for all the joy they bring into our home. For my grandchildren who are my angels that brighten my day when I think I'm falling off my rocker! This family picture makes me laugh. How often do we laugh out loud or just make a fool of ourselves? Not often enough! I have an incredible husband, that when life does a U-turn on him, he still plugs along with a positive attitude and with greater determination to press forward.

I love the Temple, and the peace and comfort we receive, and the blessings that have come to us for just striving to do the right stuff. And referring to the picture again, apparently Ryan took a potty break, or just trying to get the attention he obviously needs. :)

Thanks to all who have made me laugh, and have helped strengthened some of my weaknesses this past year. Hoping the new year will bring you comfort and JOY!
