Maxwell's 6th Birthday

We are all about celebrating Birthdays these days, pretty much from August to December we are partying at least once a month(:

We celebrated Maxwell's 6th Birthday at the beginning of this month.  

Maxwell was super excited about his Birthday and had a grin on his face the entire day, he came running out of his Kindergarten class yelling "MOM! I GOT A BIRTHDAY HAT!" He isn't too hard to please.

He was pretty stoked for his long board. 

Simon showed a lot of enthusiasm for all of Maxwell's gifts. After every present Max would open he would yell "Wow! MAX!" or "DAT COOL MAX!" I think the powdered donuts put him in an extra good mood.

We went to Classic Skating for Maxwell's party. He LOVES this place and Scooters his little heart out. Look at that cute red face.

 Beetle skated with Brig around the skating rink until he wore the stroller right out. Really though....he melted the brakes, so maybe don't ever try skating with a Wal-Mart umbrella stroller, the wheels can't take the heat.

Millie and her Daddy

                                                             

                                                                    Kate and Brigham, these two are so cute when they get together.

                                                George and Henry were there to party too!

Benson was super excited to win this glo-stick for taking 1st place in the "loudest scream" contest.

         We Love our little Maxwell and are so grateful for the happiness he brings into our Home.

4th of July 2013

I started my 4th of July doing a 10 mile run down Provo Canyon with these girls. I loved it! My sister, her best friend Jana, Jana's daughter Brittany, and my Sis in-law Sara from California. It was a lot of fun, I need to either make some friends or join a running group because it is so much more fun to run with someone other than by myself. 

Afterwards we went to the Hughes pool. It was Awesome, unfortunately I didn't get any pics cause I was too busy cooling off in the pool, it was perfect after a long run!

        We attempted a Beetle & Mindy Smart Fam pic at Roman and Michelle's fun 4th of July Barbecue.

The Fearsome Foursome were all together again! Grandpa and Grandma Smart had their hands full with them, literally.

Cutest Outfit Award goes to Pearl Ann Elder

                                               The Older Generation of Smart Grand kids.

Couldn't believe I got the Pearl Girl to kind of sit long enough for this pic.

       I thought this pic was funny mainly because every person in it is looking in a different direction.

Livi taught Annabelle how to finger knit while she was here, she was working on a scarf for Ruben the rest of the night....

PG Fireworks were Awesome, I took the three older kids so Beetle could get packed and rested for his guys trip the next morning.

                                             We met up with my family. It was a lot of fun.

My Sister Jamie can do this cool trick, she can blow fireworks out of her nose...... but ONLY on the fourth of July and ONLY when she is pregnant with her fourth child. Pretty Amazing.

                                                                        Happy Fourth!

Mesa Falls, ID

Upper and Lower Mesa Falls in Idaho, near Yellowstone. These are the prettiest water falls! I don't even have a cool camera but I honestly want to make a "scenic" calendar and include Mesa Falls in it. Aren't they Beautiful?

I loved the mist from the waterfall, it felt so good on such a hot day.

                                   Benson and Max with cousin Rigdon, he is pretty much their Idol.

                                                   The older generation of R&C Smart cousins.

                                                                     Loved Mesa Falls!
