Smith Family Christmas Party

2010-01-11T10:58:00.000-08:00

On December 26th, we had the Smith Family Christmas party. It was so much fun. There was quite a few family members who were able to come to it. We had good food, good visiting and the kids had a great time playing with each other. I didn't get many pictures though. So if any family members have some to contribute, please get them to me.

It was so fun to see you all! See ya again in July!

Update

2009-12-18T17:27:00.000-08:00

Cambree was born to Lacey and Jonathon in November 19th. Lacey is doing well and little Cambree has had her ups and downs. She has had a couple of surgeries already. Today, she is doing well. This is the first time Lacey has been able to hold her. Keep the prayers coming. I'm sure they've still got a long road ahead of them, but today is a good day for them. What a beautiful little angel!

Happy Thanksgiving!

TWAS THE NIGHT OF THANKSGIVING,BUT I JUST COULDN'T SLEEP.I TRIED COUNTING BACKWARDS,I TRIED COUNTING SHEEP.

THE LEFTOVERS BECKONED -THE DARK MEAT AND WHITE,BUT I FOUGHT THE TEMPTATIONWITH ALL OF MY MIGHT.

TOSSING AND TURNING WITH ANTICIPATION,THE THOUGHT OF A SNACK BECAME INFATUATION.SO, I RACED TO THE KITCHEN, FLUNG OPEN THE DOOR,AND GAZED AT THE FRIDGE, FULL OF GOODIES GALORE.

GOBBLED UP TURKEY AND BUTTERED POTATOES,PICKLES AND CARROTS, BEANS AND TOMATOES.I FELT MYSELF SWELLING SO PLUMP AND SO ROUND,'TIL ALL OF A SUDDEN, I ROSE OFF THE GROUND..

I CRASHED THROUGH THE CEILING, FLOATING INTO THE SKY,WITH A MOUTHFUL OF PUDDING AND A HANDFUL OF PIE.BUT, I MANAGED TO YELL AS I SOARED PAST THE TREES....HAPPY EATING TO ALL - PASS THE CRANBERRIES, PLEASE.

MAY YOUR STUFFING BE TASTY,MAY YOUR TURKEY BE PLUMP..MAY YOUR POTATOES 'N GRAVY HAVE NARY A LUMP.MAY YOUR YAMS BE DELICIOUS.MAY YOUR PIES TAKE THE PRIZE,MAY YOUR THANKSGIVING DINNER STAY OFF OF YOUR THIGHS!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL

Happy Veteran's Day!

We have had several family members who have served our country in many capacities.

Right now, we currently have 2 family members who are actively serving away from their homes and families.

GySgt Allen Goodyear is in Afganistan.

MJR Paul Smith is in Korea.

Let us all remember them in our hearts and prayers as remember what happened on September 11, 2001.

Smith Family cookbook

2009-07-13T13:26:00.001-07:00

I've gotten asked several times about the cookbook that we started putting together last summer. It has not been dropped. Lisa has just been waiting for more recipes to come in. So we've decided to put it online so everyone can access what has already been submitted and we can keep adding as people send more in.

For those of you who do not "do" computers, we can provide a hard copy of the book, but you may not recieve anymore recipes other than what we have right now. Just email Elissa if you would prefer a hard copy of the book.

I have not gotten all the recipes online quite yet, but am working on it. Keep checking back and if you have any others you would like to add, please feel free to email them to me and I can put them on. There is a link on the Smith Family blog, to the right, or the address is www.smithfamcookbook.blogspot.com.

Danny Boy Foundation

2009-04-11T17:38:00.000-07:00

Stacy asked me to add this to the blog in honor of our Danny. Please go to the site and read about it. This is great!

Danny's childhood friend set up a foundation in Danny's name, Its called The Danny Boy foundation. The friend who set it up used to live on our street. He emailed my Mom one day and explained it to her and asked if it would be ok. Of course we were glad that Danny made such an impacted on His friend, it also brought up a lot of memories, kind of emotional for all of us to take in but we are glad he did it... So if you could put the web site on there or something, that would be wonderful i just want everyone to read what the foundation is about and what he wrote about Danny.

Smith Family Christmas party

2008-12-27T20:14:00.000-08:00

We had a great time at the Smith Family Christmas party, December 27. We all trudged our way through the snow to the Coltman church house. We had a variety of soups as the main course and had a variety of other stuff: chips and dips, jello salad, fruit, Aunt Carolyn's rolls, chocolate cake, nuts, chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate covered anything. It was great! We, Smiths, know how to make a great spread. We had a great turn out, even with the questionable weather.

The kids had a great time playing in the gym, while the adults had a great time visiting with each other. We sure missed all that were unable to come. Hope to see you this summer for the Smith Family BBQ (usually around July 4).

Here are some of the pics taken by various people who attended.

Merry Christmas to all!

Smith Family Barbeque

2008-07-06T22:46:00.001-07:00

When the family gets together... there is a whole lot of laughs, visiting, fun and even a prank phone call or two. :)

We had a Smith Family barbeque July 6th at Grandpa Smith's house. We had a great turn out and had a lot of fun. We had dutchoven chicken and potatoes cooked by Steven, and then everyone else contributed salads, desserts, or just whatever they wanted to bring.

Here are some of the great pictures that were taken.

Here is the group that was there.

Boy, do we know how to eat or what!!!
