Lost in Transition

Hello to all of you who like to keep up on the happenings of the Smith's. We are currently in the middle of the most crazy (only behind tax season 2008 I guess) of our lives to date. I am currently sitting in the Boise airpot waiting for my flight and wanted to let you all know there may be a slight Smith hietis. We are going touring with my family tomorrow and then will be packing up and moving back to Idaho for the summer. We should be landing in Rexburg in about 10 days. How CRAZY!!!

The following is for my purposes only but feel free to read on.

My AMAZING HUSBAND!!!

CONGRATULATIONS SCOTT!!!!!!!
The following post will be in honor of my smarty pants husband Scott and the beloved OSU!!
Sunday Scott joined 8,000 other graduates (the largest class in the nation) and graduated with his Masters in Accounting! I can't believe our five year education journey is over. Scott truly has a gifted mind and had done such an incredible job being a student, husband and father. He struck a balance that is truley admirable. Thank you all for your love support and prayers throuhgout this whole process.

Also, I want to give a happy anniversary shout out. What a way to celebrate five years. The day we got married Scott had 25 credits to his name. Now 5 years later he has a masters degree from one of the best accounting programs in the nation! Way to go Idaho boy!

I was recapping the major events of our last fives years and realized why it has been a little crazy. In five years we have moved 3 times gotten 3 bachelors degrees, 1 masters and had two beautiful daughters. Always on the move, just the way we like it.

Thanks also to Scott's fam for coming out to celebrate with us, it was so great to have you here.

Funny Ella




Ella came waddling out of the kitchen the other day with this measuring spoon on her nose. After we started laughing at her, she started laughing at herself. I thought it was so cute. She kept it there for quite a while.


Strawberry Fields Forever!!

















There are some fabulous pick your own produce places in Columbus. So, on one of Scott's says off we went strawberry picking with Sarah and Adam. I have never tasted a better strawberry. We could have stayed in the that field all day! Ella especially loved the berries. She just wandered up and down the rows looking for the biggest ones. We threw the onsie away! It was toast.

Sarah and I then got very ambitious and made some freeze jam. It was so good. I thought it was so pretty too. The bright red strawberries. You just can't beat fresh. It was such a fun afternoon.

Barnum and Bailey Circus





We went to the best circus in the world!!! The Barnum and Bailey Ringling Brothers Circus came to Columbus and we got to go. It was so much fun and truely what a circus should be. It was like watching a broadway musical with live animals and crazy tricks. The whole family was entertained the entire time!!
