Driving and More Driving

We decided that since we were now the proud owners of a high class minivan we would drive all the way to Oregon instead of flying this Christmas. We planned the trip so that on the way down we would stop in Vancouver and spend a few days with our good friends the Leavitts before continuing on to Oregon. Coming back we stopped in Glenwood and spent the night at Scott's parent’s house (they are away on a mission). It was a two day trip down, and a two day trip back. We put over 5,000 km on our van (over 3,100 miles according to Google conversion) and spent hours traveling! It was fun, but I don't know if we will do it again for a long time. Here are some pictures from our travels.

Moses on one of our breaks. We stopped and had pizza and Moses was very content playing this OUT OF ORDER video game!

We finally learned that the real way to keep him happy is to keep giving him sugar! Here is Moses with a face covered in Chocolate and eating a donut!

Christmas Card 2007

We really did do a Christmas Card this year, just not in enough time to actually mail it out. So for those of you who are interested, this is the Smith Family Christmas Card from 2007.P.S. Funny thing about this Christmas Card. This isn't actually our Christmas Tree. We decided we weren't going to be home enough this Christmas to actually put up a tree, so while we were delivering Christmas goodies to friends and neighbors, we asked the first person that invited us in if we could take a family picture by their tree. Luckily they didn't think we were too crazy or this picture would have just been Santa without the tree!

Dipping Chocolates

We have a new family tradition (2 years in a row makes a tradition, right?) of making and dipping homemade chocolates. It is actually a lot of fun. This year we made Peanut Butter, Orange, Coconut, and Chocolate Mint flavored chocolates. Our good friend Jason came over to help us roll the fondant and dip the chocolates. As you can see from the pictures, Moses loved it!

It's a Boy!!!!!!!

We saw a penis! It is for sure a boy. Scott and I both noticed it before the ultrasound tech pointed it out. Now all we have to do is think of a name...

ABC's

22 Months and 1 day old!

Seventy Two Ave Band

It all started at a street party. It came up that almost everyone had played in a junior high band before...with the host being a current band teacher......it just went from there. Oh, the nostalgia of it all!

Halloween

pUnK Rocker!!!

LaShauna did a great job with Moses' costume....but Scott did spray paint the skull and crossbones!

Kub Kar Rally

The Elders Quorum Kub Kar Rally was AWESOME. Mine is the bus-I came in 4th overall for speed. The Tub is Jason's......lets just say it was really good, and everyone had a great time!

New Baby

I just had an ultrasound. This is the baby at 10 weeks old. It is about 3.5 Centimeters from head to tail. It was so neat to see it moving around inside of me. It kept waving it's little arms!It is still a miracle, even the second time around.

Book of Mormon Stories

Whenever we sing this - Moses always exaggerates the bow at the end. We think it is hilarious, but we think everything this kid does is exceptional. Sorry - we can't help it.
