I felt to fortunate to be able to be with them through the whole experience. What a beautiful experience it was to witness Major come into this world. Andy and Tia are going to be wonderful parents. Andy has already taken over his role as protector!!! He was watching the nurses every move with that baby. Tia grew up right before my eyes, watching her go into motherhood. I love you guys so much and I cannot get enough of this little guy. He is going to be so much fun watching grow-up. Love you Tia and Andy.

Happy Birthday to my DADDY!






September 27th, 1950 was a great day, my dad was born and history began for our family!!!! I just wanted to spotlight my dad and thank him for all he has done for our family growing up. I remember him waking up at 4:00am to drive to Los Angeles for work about 1 1/2 hrs. away and work all day and drive home 2 hrs. because the traffic was bumper to bumper on the freeways. Then come home late and go up to the church to fulfill his calling as Bishop. What a great example he continues to be to our family. I love my dad so much and always love to see him and my mom walk into football, soccer games and pageants and parades for the kids. They are always there to support. My dad also has a smile that is contagious!!! He love LIFE and it shows in his smile and the way he carries himself. I love you DAD!!!!
We had a great

& AdamT
My parents (Clay & Irene) & Hyrum & Gail SmithAdam & Gail SmithKaraoke TIME with Nana & Dad
Last night we had a great opportunity to go out to Gunlock and meet the Hyrum & Gail Smith Family. My brother Adam is dating and getting pretty serious with Becca Smith Lemmon. So they felt that it was time that our families meet. We had a wonderful time at their home. We had all 7 of us kids and our children and my parents and grandma which = 32 people and then they had all 5 of their kids and their children & Hyrum and Gail which = 28 people. A grand total of 60 people together under one roof with lots of fun. We had so much fun and so much wonderful food. The Smith's made the Hawaiian Kalua Pork and our family brought all the sidedishes and together we brought dessert. It was soooo good. We then all did Karaoke. We had so much fun, what a wonderful time had by both wonderful families. Adam is so lucky to have found a wonderful girl with a FANTASTIC family.
