...cAn I jUsT SAy...


Wow…can I just tell you how much I love this man. He left me for 3 days to go on a riding trip with his brothers Jeff and Brian…and can I just say I am missing him like crazy!!!...He is absolutely my best friend and I love him with my whole heart! I am so so happy I get to be with him for eternity. I really am so lucky to have him. He is always there when I need him no matter what(unless its harvest then I just don’t ask haha jk even then he is). I know I drive him up the freaking wall all the time especially lately, because I have just been driving him nuts to get us in a house to move into. But he always knows how to make me so feel so happy when I am feeling so down. This past month I have been having a really hard time with some things and he just listens to me and comforts me. He is the most positive person I know and is always happy…unless I am spending money J(ha I just had to throw something like that in.) But seriously he is amazing and I love him with all my heart. He is my best friend and our marriage is the best thing that has ever happened. He is such a strong priesthood holder and he really cherishes that he is one as do I. He is amazing I just can’t say it enough…I love you Drew.
So I have a new addiction…and it is called PINTERST!! I have been doing it for awhile but it is becoming a serious problem! Haha that is all I want to do is look at it full time. There is so many crafts on there that I want to try so bad or a recipe of some kind! It is so fun! It’s fun to talk to my sister in laws Char and Ami about it because we always ask or tell each other did you see that on PINTEREST! I am always telling Drew “I wanna do this and that and make this” haha good thing he is a trooper but i don't think he minds when he gets some yummy treat or something new for dinner :)

-1 Year Anniversary-


Its crazy to think that one year ago July 9th I married my best friend! Drew is the most amazing man I know. I love him so much! He is always there for me and takes such good care of me! About a month before our anniversary I told Drew we better do something fun for our 1 year! and he just kept on saying ok we can go to dinner and I would just tell him It is our first anniversary we are doing something fun and WE ARE NOT STAYING IN BURLEY OR ANY OF THE SURROUNDING AREAS!....I gave him hints maybe go to Sun Valley, Salt Lake, Boise, Island Park etc…. I knew we couldn't go very far because he is a busy man. So for about 3 weeks I would ask him probably everyday.."So where we going?" he would always just say "I don't know what you are talking about"….with a big cheesy smirk on his face. Well the weekend of our anniversary was Declo Days…and I will admit I didn't know this existed till about 2 or so years ago…Anyway the Declo Cheerleaders had their mini-cheer camp and the girls would perform in the parade and after the parade we had a booth for the girls so I needed to stay and help out with that and the whole morning I had asked "Drew where are we going I need to know do I pack a lot, or not really, do I need to pack certain things?"…He would not give me any hints till we were back from the parade. By this time I was for sure we were going to Salt Lake and staying in the Hotel we stayed at the Day we got married…So he finally told me you can pack your swimsuit and just regular clothes…So we got packed VERY fast. As we were driving down the highway I was surprised when he didn't turn right to go on the freeway to Salt Lake…instead he turned left…So I was for sure we were going to Sun Valley. Well we got on the interstate and I kept asking we are we going what are we doing? Still…he gave me no hints! So we are driving and we pass the Twin Exit to go to Sun Valley so then I was ok! Boise! FINALLY I KNOW!!...He started laughing and said ok I will tell you…"Have you ever heard of a place called thousand springs?" I looked at him and said yes Trying to act really excited! But inside I was kinda bummed…I didn’t want to spend our 1 year anniversary in Hagerman, Idaho but I got over it and new it was going to be fun know matter what…Well then we pass the Wendall exist to go to Hagerman and he was freaking out because he wasn't paying attention. So he sais "oh we will just get the next exit"…So a few miles down the road there is another exit…we missed it! So then I new exactly where we were going after there wasn't anymore exits!So We ended up in Boise and I was so so so excited I hadn't been to Boise in about 8 months so here is some of the fun things we did while we were there….

This is where we stayed for the weekend...It was such a nice hotel and we got to sleep in which was even better ;)
After we checked into our hotel we went to Olive garden because Drew knows its my favorite!

After we got back from eating we decided to go swimming at the Hotel when we go back i noticed a bag on the bed...I was like what is this..I opened it and there was a ring box and this is what was in it!...I was so suprised because we kinda said we wouldn't get anything for eachother because the trip was gonna be enough...I love this ring and i wear everyday! thank you so much Drew! you really did suprise me!!


Sunday we went to Roaring Springs...I haven't been there FOREVER! probably 6 or 7 years...It was so much fun!!

After Roaring Springs we went back to the hotel hurry and got ready so we could get something to eat and make it to a movie! I had never eaten at this place! but it was SO GOOD!!
After we ate Dinner we went and saw horrible bosses!...It was hilarious!
After we got out of that movie we weren't tired and we were trying to figure out what else we could do it was only about 9:00...so we sat there for a minute and thought..."Hey! why not another movie"
So we went and saw Bad Teacher...we were both pretty disapointed but it was still fun we went to see two movies back to back!
Monday was our last day in town...So Drew took me shopping(which this has never happened)...it was so much fun.

This weekend was seriously one of the best weekends ever. Me and Drew had hardly seen eachother the past month we were both so busy! it was so nice to have a weekend to ourselves i loved it! Thanks again Drew i love you!

~SaTuRdAy FuN~

Last Saturday My parents were going to Jacksonhole for the day and Drew was working and I really didn’t want to stay home all day by myself…so I told my parents why don’t you just take me to Nikki's and I can hang out with her a Crew and maybe do some laundry because our washer is currently not working L So I got to hang out with my sis and see my nephew and do some laundry at her house….thanks Nik by the way you’re the best. I got there and me and Nikki just sat around till Crew woke up from his nap we made some lunch and had a good talk. After Crew woke up we played with him for a little bit and he is one of the happiest babies I have ever known! Nikki has been wanting to show me how to make some hair bow things so we popped in a movie and made some hair stuff…I should have taken a picture of them cuz they are pretty fun. So the movie we decided to watch was Tangled. Can I just say cutest movie ever! I had never seen it so we decided on that it was so cute I loved it! So just wanted to shout out to Nikki thanks for the fun weekend I had a blast! You’re the best sister ever

New addition to the Smith Family
Can i just start off by saying adoption is such an amazing thing. Nikki and Blair have been wanting a baby for as long as they have been married and have not been able to have one. They have been through all the procedures to try and get a baby and nothing would work. They finally decided that they would try to adopt. WOW! can i just say this process is amazing. Not saying it wasnt hard for them i can't even begin to wonder what it was like for Nikki and Blair. I could tell so bad they wanted a baby everytime i would be with Nikki and there would be a new baby around I could just see how bad she wanted one of her own. Around Christmas time they were contacted by a birth mom. They had talked for a few weeks and she had decided to place her baby boy with Nikki and Blair! They were so excited as all of us were. The birth mother who was 16 was an answer to all of our prays she new that her baby was suppose to be with Blair and Nikki . Crew Jameson Goldade was born Feburuary 12, 2011 and he is a chunk! If you know Nikki or Blair you should check out her blog about their experience.blairandnikki.blogspot.com





                      All of these pictures are my favorite but these next few are my ABSOLUTE favorite so far    look at this CHUNK haha he is so cute i just love that belly!



I bought this outfit when i was in California at Disneyland they called to tell me it was official they were getting a baby and so i hate to get him something Disney so me and my sister-in-law Ami decided this was the cutest. She even had to get one for her little guy.
