Too busy to write!

It's not what we've done...it's what we haven't done the past week! Here's the run-down:



Wed, 06:11: Elizabeth takes the girls on the first weekly Primary/Enrichment activity. They went on a short hike to see some falls. I had a training meeting with my entire staff that evening.



Thurs, 06.12: We wake the girls up at 6:15 AM to take in the hot air balloons for Springville's Art City Days. How fun was this?! While it was chilly, the girls' eye were wider that plates as they watched the balloons get blown up and sent off into the great blue yonder. Later that morning, we hit the BYU Museum of Art to take part in a medieval festival of sorts. They had face-painting, dancing, castle building, etching, storytelling, and treats to boot. Kadence and Tayah loved the balloons that came home with us.



Fri, 06.13: My day off. We took in the Orem Summerfest where Kadence was daring enough to ride not only the merry-go-round (w/ Daddy), but a car ride (da solo). It was a warm day! We then attended my cousin Jonathan's wedding reception in Provo and enjoyed visiting with our relatives, some of whom we've not seen for a while.

Sat, 06.14: We celebrated the June birthdays in our family up at my mother's abode in SLC. We always have such a great time together! When we got home, we took two cranky, hot girls to the Springville fair (which incidentally enough, produced too cranky, hot parents :). Kadence rode some rides, but was pretty ornery throughout. The scone we had was worth it all! We also enjoy supporting our little city.



Sun, 06.15: Happy Father's Day to me! Elizabeth and girls made a special day with a huge breakfast, fun gifts, and many snuggles, hugs, and kisses. How special is it to be a daddy?! The bishopric spoke in sacrament meeting and I was grateful for that opportunity. Afterward, we had the family down to our place for a Father's Day gala. We love the fathers in our lives! Above is a photo of all six Smith grandchildren/cousins (with a baby boy on the way!).

Since then, we've been decompressing and deservedly so. One of resolutions was to find new, exciting things to do as a family. Frankly, we're proud of ourselves!
