HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARCI! :)

april first 2009! marci turns 23! we all went to dinner at chilie's followed by ice cream cake :)

REASONS we LOVE marci:

1. she is SO talented! the BEST seamstress i know! not only can she make the most amazing quilts EVER, she often finds herself doing little odd sewing jobs for me :)

2. she is SO nice! she would do ANYTHING for ANYONE :)

3. marci is so fashionable! she is always wearing the latest fashions and hardly ever wears the same thing twice! she is super CUTE!

4. selfless! no matter what is going on in her life she ALWAYS puts others first!

5. GREAT example! she just graduated with a bachelors in accounting! she is very smart and her example makes me want to go back to school... sometimes :)

these are just a few reasons why we are glad to have marci as a friend! happy birthday!

National Guard...

tommy just signed his life away! okay, okay well maybe not his WHOLE life... but it sure feels that way to me! today i went up to draper to the utah national guard building where tommy and our good friend brad pledge into the guard and signed the next few years of their life away. i dont know how i feel about it... but tommy leaves on may 11th for basic training. i guess the good news is, is that he doesn't leave until AFTER mcrae gets here...

Manti

This past weekend we went to Manti to go through the temple with our oldest nephew Trent. He will be leaving for his mission in May to South Carolina! We are so excited for him!

Gavin Teague Smith :)

1 - 4

so for those of you who don't know, jace plays on an intermural basketball team with tommy and some of his other friends. to say the least... this season has been rough. last night they played their last regular season game and WON! the first time ALL season :) they were pretty proud and relieved. im anxious to see how the tournament goes... too bad its single elimination....

Oh BABY :)

this past weekend i had a baby shower in vernal! i must say i have the best mother and sister in-laws EVER :) the food was GREAT! and i got so many gifts i'm not sure what to do with it all!

You have got to be kidding....

So it's official... I have a double CHIN!

McRae's Nursery!

So I am about finished with the baby's nursery. I can hardly stand her not being here anymore! Everytime I walk by her room I can't help but smile! We cannot wait for her to come!
