Grandma Ruth's birthday bash

Ben's Grandma's birthday was extra special this year because it was 8-08-08. You could certainly tell that Ruth is one loved lady... there was quite a crowd.

Splash Park

This last Friday, we found a new park for lunch. It's the splash park behind the Ogden Athletic Club. The kids had such a good time. Abigail felt it was safer to stay out of the water.


Luke was in heaven the whole time.
Finally Grandma persuaded Abigail to run through the water... she still wasn't sure about it and tried to escape quickly.

Happy Pioneer Day!

Every year Ben's Aunt and Uncle have a July 24th pool party for the whole Smith family. Like every year, the kids had such a great time. Luke and Abigail hanging out on the steps with Grandma Sharla. It took them a little while to decide that being in the pool was more fun than watching.
After a good nap, we went to my parent's house for a BBQ and fireworks. I was startled and screamed duing one of the explosions, and Luke said, "Don't freak out Mommy!"
After every blast Abigial ran to Papa Jay to be consoled.

Too hot to do anything but eat ice cream!
