Family Time

Spring Break 2010 will include:

a visit to the city

a stop along the way for a little adventure

some family time with lots of room to run

and lots of time to relax!

Celebrating in the Snow

We spent the holiday weekend in Sandpoint to celebrate Mason's birthday. We had a great weekend with family, spent some time playing in the snow and Mason and Carter got to hang out with all their cousins!

We stayed in a log cabin and both the kids loved the house! It was so relaxing to be up in the mountains, enjoying the fresh air, and all the trees. One morning, Derrick, Carter and I took a little hike and we saw 5 deer, about 20 turkeys, and a cat (ha, ha)!

Ahhh, now back to reality. I've already started two loads of laundry and I'm dreading going back to work! I love my work, but after a relaxing weekend, it's hard to get back into it!

A Little Bit Obsessed

Ok, I have to admit, I'm a little crazy for the Cherry Limeaid from Sonic. Lately, I've had some SERIOUS cravings for the stuff.

I bought some knock off stuff in a can from Yokes (Minute Maid Cherry Limeaid--trust me, it's not the same). I've even looked up recipes to make my own cherry limeaid. I think I will try Sprite, Grenadine, lime juice....and see how it turns out. I also read online that I should try the cherry syrup, like they use on snow cones. That sounds yummy! I wonder if the cherry syrup (like they use to flavor coffee drinks) will work. I'm on a mission.

Happy Holidays!

Hope you had a Merry Christmas and are looking forward to a new year. It has been a great year for the Smith family.....so bring it .....2010!

Letter to Santa

Dear Santa,

It was great running into you in Leavenworth!

My little brother wouldn't take his picture with you and he was kinda cranky about taking a picture with this GIANT bear as well!

But anyway, we all had a great day in Leavenworth. We hung around downtown for a little bit.

We also took at couple family pics (check out those mountains in the background-AWESOME!) When it got dark, we watched the Tree Lighting Festival.

Every building and tree was covered with lights!

On our way back to the cabin, it started to snow. The next morning, we woke up to this.

Thanks for the candy cane, Santa!

Love,

M

Leavenworth

We are going here.

We are really excited......

because we will be doing some of this....

and maybe a little of this....

and we will probably have a little of this with a little of that.

Looking forward to spending some time with good friends in Leavenworth!

Four Cousins

These cute little Smith cousins look like they are having a blast! I asked C when he wanted to come home. He said......... "never".

Well, M & C are coming home Saturday....whether they want to or not! ;)
