Jimmy watching a lady bug crawling on his arm. we've had tons of them in the lawn and the kids love it.

From left to right: the boquet, ladies corsages, mean's corsages and far right the little boquet to throw. We put the extra flowers on the cake and table center pieces.

Ok, I said there would be a new post on Wednesday and now it's Thursday, but it's not a year later! We have had by brother and his wife and family. We always have SO much fun when they come. We've stayed up to late almost every night playing killer bunnies or watching a movie or just talking. Last Friday My sister-in-law and I arranged the flowers for her sister's wedding on Saturday. We started about 11 in the morning and finished about 11:40 at night. Ofcourse we had diapers to change, meals to cook and cute kids who just needed some attention in between all of it. It was a lot of fun but it made me glad I'm not in buisness doing it. They turned out beautiful but man my kids needed me! I felt like I was saying "just a minute" all day long. Being a Mom is full time hands on! Some day it will be fun to have a flower shop or green house but for now I just know my attention is best spent on the three little munkshins that God gave me.

Today it is officially one year sicne my last post. I've been planning to start blogging again but have been waiting for this day....because it somehow seems more meaningful, like I took a year off instead of, I just got lazy. For those of you who have been worrying, I am not eternaly pregnant, as this blog would lead you to believe. I did have my baby. She was born October 20 and is now 9 month's old. She is pure sweetness! I love having a girl around the house. It's amazing how this tiny little lady brings out my femininity and adds gentility to our home! Dan graduated!!! That picture is the most current of the 3. I got bangs which I am now in the process of growing out cuz they drive me crazy! I know that gettings a hair cut doesn't fit up there with the important events of the year, had our third baby, Dan graduated from college, I changed my hair...hehehe Just a fun fact I guess. This is my update, see ya next year! Just Kidding! Next Wednessday there will be another post!

Burk Family Campout

2009-08-11T07:14:00.000-07:00

cute boys!

I just love this picture!

Me and my lovely sisters

The original Steve and Julie Burk fam

the big swing

James and Micheal

Grandpa blocking the water flow at the water hole

Spencer and Daniel at the water hole

All the grandkids (plus Anne keeping her little man from sprinting away)

We just got back from our trip to AZ. We went down for the annual Burk Family Campout. It is just with my parents and their children and families. There are nine of us kids, 5 married and 4 between college and junior high. We seem to add a few new people every year. I love it. We drove this time....... 16 hours one way.........long drive! The boys did amazingly well. I expected weeping and wailing and nashing of teeth but we had very little of that. James seemed to learn a few new words every day. He had so much fun following all the cousins around and getting spoiled by Grandma and Grandpa. My favorite thing that he learned on our trip is, "come on guys!" He would say it when trying to catch up to bigger cousins or trying to get my attention. SO CUTE. Spencer loved the independence. THere was so much room for running around and adventure. I don't hardly let him outside to play by his self. I feel like we need a fence first with all the horses and potentialy dangerous but fun looking stuff in our area. Anyway, he also loved having Daniel around all week. I think he spent half of the campout on the big swing with Dan pushing him.

Anne, I will email you all the grand kid pics I took.

We had a wonderful trip and now We have a very exciting Fall season to look forward to, this will be the first holiday season of our marriage that we will be able to spend with Daniel's Parents, and we are excited for all of the fun and wonder that come with a new baby.

It was SO good to see all of my family. Some of you I havn't seen scince last years campout and probably won't see again until next years. We also got to see some of Daniel's family which was an added bonus.

Happy summer days.....

Prego Me :) I'm 28 weeks now, due Oct. 18

You should really click on this one to make it bigger and see Dan's muscles. These are the weeds in our yard. this kinda shows the before and after. He rented a thing and worked for 6 hours on Saturday to clear our jungle. Yeah, they were huge! (the muscles I mean)
Spencer and James couldn't have been happier. They always feed our weeds to the horses that live behind our house. This was at our stake 24th party.

Our neighbors had this cool old truck that their girls have outgrown and our boys just love it!

I think Spencer and James won this battle!

This was our first yield from our garden. Spencer was very proud

Sweet baby Evelyn!

These next two pics are from the air show with Grandma and Grandpa Smith. The Rexburg air show is AWESOME. I could do a whole post about it, probably next year, cause I'm sure we are going!

2009-06-09T18:54:00.000-07:00

It's a girl!!!

We went in for the ultra sound and everything was normal and healthy. The ultrasound lady asked, "SO what do you think it is?" Dan said, "well, I don't see anything between the legs" "Yep, it's a girl!" We are so excited and thankful for this baby on the way. She will bring a whole new relm of little person that we have not yet experienced. Yeah!!!

Great news!

2009-05-29T16:33:00.000-07:00

James feeding the goat at the zoo
Memorial Day!

My Grandpa's grave

Yeah it's warm!

Me and my honey

Ok, these last two pictures are reversed. the bottom one is the before and this one is the after of his first hair cut. He's just getting SO big!

It's been quite the month and a half. We went to Las Vegas for our neices' baptism, had Daniel's Mom and Dad stay for a couple weeks, Daniel started school again and we finaly have good wheather so we've been spending many evening working outside in our yard and garden. I could do a whole post just about that....our garden and my plans to can stuff this year. I think a will... in a few weeks when I know for sure that our garden is going to live and I can take a picture of something besides dirt. All of this is an explanation for why I have not yet posted that...................... I'm PREGNANT!!! Yeah! I mean like really pregnant, we didn't just find out, in fact, next week we are having my second ultra sound and finding out if it's a boy or girl this coming Thursday actually. I feel so excited like this is going to kinda define our family. If we get three boys in a row that starts to feel like we are a big family of boys, if we get a girl this time everything would be so different in a pink and pretty way. Either way I just feel so excited. SO there ya have it That's our great news.

Happy Birthday Daniel!!!

2009-04-09T06:59:00.000-07:00

Dan's birthday was on confrence Saturday. It often falls on confrence weekend. He's sitting in front of his banana cream pie (thankyou Frontier Pies) in a suit because he just got home from the priesthood session. The first birthday of Dan's that we spent together we had been married about 8 months and we went down to Brian and Dawn's for confrence. Aaron and Lani came too. I got him a hatchet form Sears and an icecream cake from Dairy queen. I wish I had a picture to show but we didn't have a digital camera yet. Anyway, now we've been married almost five years. It's amazing howmuch we've grown and changed together. I love you so much Daniel! I hope you had a wonderful day!

Here are the boys on the new step latter we got for Daniel. This is how they spent the first session of confrence going up and down and hitting balloons. After Spencer jumping off and James almost falling we quickly decided a step latter is not the best entertainment for toddlers, although they thought so!

Long Time No.....Type?

2009-03-31T19:13:00.000-07:00

So here's part of what we've been up to lately. This our little greenhouse with all our starts for our garden. I fear I started too early though. We had one week of good wheather and I got so excited I just couldn't wait. I'm not sure if you can tell but the plants are getting a bit long and gangly. Oh well, even seeing these little plants gives me hope of spring.

Here's my men playing the WII. They all look a little dazed in this picture so you might not believe me when I say they were having a blast. We have had so much with this! I have always hated video games, addmittedly because I stink at them and always loose. The wii is different! I love it!

This is "Spikey Boy" affectionately named by Spencer. James rubbed his hands all over his head. I think we were eating tuna sandwiches and the mayo worked better than moose.

Packing peanuts and static............hehehe. It took FOREVER to clean up! Every time I tried to throw a handful in the trash, half of it would stick and other pieces would jump back out. The vacum couldn't handle the big stuff and all the little stuff stuck to the outside. After about half an hour I was giving up hope. In an over dramatized way I kneeled on the floor and said "Spencer this will never work!" His reply, "just keep going Mom, it will be over soon." What a kid! He always keeps us laughing.

When the boys showed up I only needed one more cup of flour for making bread. We were all covered by the time that happened.

I know it probably seems cruel to go on a bike ride in such wheather but look at their faces. I think we all needed it. I just can't wait till we can do this without blankets, coats, mittens, hats ect.

Cheerios in the tub and birthdays

2009-02-03T19:39:00.000-08:00

Yesterday was my birthday. I feel like we've been celebrating for days now. On Saturday Dan made me wafles with strawberries and whip cream, my yearly request. That night we went out on an awsome date with some of our friends, affectionately known as princess and bubbles, (lazer tag names). Sunday and Monday Becc came over which is always a blast. Then Monday Dan got to take a half day at work and hang out with us. He got me a bike and trailer and a bike for him. I have been wanting that for years. This is the time of year to buy bikes, we got a great deal. Anyway, thanks sweetie!

Here are the promised bathtub pictures. The last post explains.

James 1st birthday!!! I feel like I just had him, except that I feel much better than that but man this year flew. He is such a sweet, cuddly little guy. He has started saying a few words like ball, puppy, kitty, and mainly.....NO!

A bit more about grad....

2009-01-26T20:14:00.000-08:00

It's been over a month since my last post, my deepest apologies! So many things to tell!!! First, graduation. It was so fun! My big brother, who just happens to be one of the coolest people I know, graduated with me. We walked together and everything. I have never had so much fun waiting in line, and for those of you who have graduated, you that waiting in line is what you do the majority of the time. Then the talks were wonderful and we waited in line some more. It was finaly our turn and my brother let me graduate first! Ha ha, even he knows I was really supposed to be the older sybling!! Then when I got across the stage I walked down the stairs and saw my handsome hunny and our adorable boys waiting for me. Man it feels good to be done! Since then I have been spending my days in and out of the bathroom... "is Katie sick?" you ask.....NO, Spencer is potty training! Oh the joys.......... He actually went all of last week with no accidents. We used a sticker chart for motivation. It worked great. James learned to love the bathtub...not with water......just dry, more like a playpen to keep him away from the toilet and trash while I was helping Spencer. I have some very entertaining pictures of that whick I will post soon.

YEAH KATIE ! ! !

2008-12-13T18:38:00.000-08:00

I just need to take a moment and say Congratulations to my amazing wife, Katie. For those of you who don't know, Katie received her Bachelor's from BYUI on December 12th. When Katie and I were married she had one semester left for her to receive her Associates degree, now over four years and two kids later, she has completed her schooling. I want to publicly say how proud I am of her. I have had a front row seat to the many challenges and struggles she has had to face to accomplish her goal. She has proved to me just how amazing she is, to have done all of this. About a year ago Katie was offered a job while still pregnant with Jimmy, which would have paid her well (more than what I make, which isn't too hard) and been a really promising career

that could have opened a lot of doors for her. She came home from the interview and told me she was offered the job and then she said she turned them down, because all she ever wanted to do was be a mom. She is a great example to me and to our kids. Our kids can look up to their mom who accomplished a great goal and chose to do the most important thing she could think of with her college degree, teach our family. It was so fun to sit in the audience last Friday with our two boys and watch their mom walk across the stage and receive her degree, after she stepped down, our two year old looked at me and said "hey look, mom graduated" I love you Katie!

Count down to graduation!

2008-11-12T22:10:00.000-08:00

My reasons for staying home!

Today marks one month exactly till graduation! Some of you probably didn't know, but yes, I'M GRADUATING !!! I started school here 5 1/2 years ago. I came up here all by my lonesome, moved into Perkins Hall apt. 202 (yes I was a dorm nerd and I loved it!). I took a few classes none of which show on my grad report now but it was a fun starting place. I remember wanting so badly to know if I had made the right decision to come to BYUI, it wasn't until my second semester in B of M class that I felt a deep reasuring that I was in the right place. I have had so many wonderful blessing here scince then. I could go on and on about wonderful experiences. Anyway, here we are. There are so many people that have helped me SO much to get here. Aaron and Kenzie for being such great friends and wonderful babysitters for the boys and Becca for babysitting and just being Becca. Mostly Dan, gosh, when we got married I was planning to go one more semester and then stop, he encouraged me and helped me all the way to a bachelors degree. Wow, me? I will love you forever for that Dan! Well, my next life phase will be switching to a completely full time Mom. Am I scared? Well, I know there will be days when a two hour break for classes sounds very inticing but to tell the truth, I am SO stinkin' excited! I have all these big ideas for life; activities and outings with the boys, cleaning schedules to follow, taking up a hobby, GARDENING with my family and hot dates with Dan. Ok, I can't get too excited, I still have homework to do tonight! Every time I drop off my boys when I go to class Spencer says, "Mom, you can stay with me!" I am so excited to say, "yes I can!"

What a fun tag!

2008-10-09T20:29:00.000-07:00

I love the random funness of this tag! OK, this picture is over two years old now. This is Daniel, 4 month old Spencer, myself and Grandma McDermott. She is my Mom's mom. I have always wanted to be like her. If I were to name one of my Daughters after someone it would probably be her, except for her name.... Waldene. I just can't think of a way to do it, not even as a middle name. It's kinda fun that this ended up being the picture, we just got to see her conference weekend. She was telling us about living in Idaho many years ago. Grandpa built them a one room home that they lived in for years. Then they felt so blest to move into a home with running water and two separate bedrooms, their bathroom was still outside. That was only like 50 years ago. Man, we are SO spoiled! I won't complain again, about anything!!! Anyway, she is so cool! I will always admire her!

Now I tag Mary Sloan, Kaylee, Miriam and Heather Hamm and Mom

Here are your instructions: go to your 4th picture file and then to your 4th picture and post it.

HOLY SHOOT!!!

We were sitting at the dinner table and heard a big truck come into our yard. It was a guy we hired to bring in top soil in his huge dump truck coming to dump. Spencer was so excited so I let him climb up on the chair to look out the window. He got up there, leaned his face against the glass and shouted, "HOLY SHOOT!" I was filled with mixed emotions of shock and humor. After laughing for a while we figured out that Mater, the dump truck on 'CARS' says it. Any way we had a good laugh.

Here is Spencer playing on the piles of dirt with our new puppy. Yes, we got a puppy! Joe, here are the pictures you've been waiting for. Spencer named him, his name is Dex. We've had him for two weeks now so he's 10 weeks old. He is half lab and half Austrailian Sheperd. He's a great little pup.

Here's my little cowboys. As you cab tell from his face, Jimmy really didn't want to were the hat.

Please add me!

Grandaddy's funeral in AZ
Jimmy in a box

( this represents that we moved, also, recently I have used boxes as playpens for him when I go outside, now before you think I'm horrible, he likes it and then I know he won't eat dirt)

It's been so long! My last post was a month ago and I could have posted something for every one of those days because life has been very eventful. We moved Aug 1st. I went very well thanks to the help of many good friends and family. My little sis, in particular, stayed here after my fam went back to AZ. She helped me pack and clean and take care of babies and move and unpack and clean and then pack up for a trip to AZ. Dan had just started a new position and couldn't leave so my sister and I took the boys to my families annual campout. The 20th was our four year anniversary and Daniel surprised me with flowers. I wasn't home when they were delivered so when I found them I wasn't sure who remembered our anniversary. What a nerd I can be! Then I read the card. My sweet husband! We went and did sealings which is always special. That same day my Grandad died. We went down the next day. We left at 4 in the morning thinking that the kids would just sleep. Well, James did. Spencer was so excited he was wide awake until about 7. It was such a wonderful trip. He lived in Eager, Arizona. I love that place. So many good smells and memories. All of my dad's side of the family was there and it was a really good thing.

I'm a little late but...I've been tagged!

2008-07-29T21:44:00.000-07:00

I've been a bit blog deprived lately because of preparing to move and other good things such as my family visiting from AZ. So.....it took me forever Heather but here it is...

3 Joys

1. Spending time with Daniel. For instance tonight we went out on a date and held hands. I just love when we can make time to be young and flirty together.

2. Going outside with my boys. There is always a new adventure outside from bugs, and things to climb to different kinds of precipitation. It makes me so happy to see Spencer get excited about new discoveries and James is just starting to do the same.

3. Sunshine. I'm from Arizona and I never knew how much I needed the sunshine untill I moved away from it. Idaho have quite a bit this time of year but dark winters are kinda hard for me. My whole attitude gets better when the sun comes out.

3 Fears

1. Moose or mooses. They are huge! I heard a story about a moose who tripped and fell on a car. The people were seriously injured and the moose didn't mean to do it. I've heard many other stories about angry mother mooses. SO mean or not they are big and scarey.

2. other large animals can fill in nuber 2 and 3

3 Goals

1. Graduate this December

2. Grow a yard where we now have many, many rocks. (this is a long term goal)

3. 7 lbs to go till my pre-pregnancy weight!

Current Obsessions

1. packing

2. cleaning

3. moving

(any other week of my life these would be different but for now this is all I have time for)

Random Surprising facts about me

1. I like the number 7 because it makes it easy to remember my size for shoes, pants and rings (that is after I lose those 7lbs :)

2. I love to backpack!

3. The veins in my right hand spell hi, just like this HI

Now I tag:

Yeah James!

2008-07-16T14:28:00.000-07:00

James is sitting up and we are SO proud! I'm not sure when it happened it's kinda a subtle thing. He is now to the point that we can sit him there and go do something for 5 minutes. Ofcouse we leave him surrounded with pillows just in case. What an accomplishment though! This is a skill he will use most everyday for the rest of his life. :) He is 6 1/2 months now. It went so quick this time! My mom said time speeds up with every kid. I still feel like he's brand new...well....not quite, but it sure is going fast. I've posted two days in a row, just making up for the last month so to my faithful bloggers, sorry but don't expect this in the future! :)

Spencer Phrases that I LOVE!

2008-07-15T14:11:00.000-07:00

Spencer just loves to help me cook when I bring out the flour. He always says, "stand back please, it's hot!" ( I wonder where he learned that?)
This is James' usual spot while I cook. This way he can see all the action. What beautiful eyes!

Spencer was an eary talker. Dan and I are always surprised at the things he tells us. He has his own way of saying things as all kids do and I keep intending to write them down. Usually before I do he learns the correct way to say it. It makes me sad, not that I don't want him to learn to speak but I just don't want to forget how cute his first attemps at speaking were. SO, here are a few of my favorite things that he says along with their translations for the ones that need it:

POCALOS: popsicles

So, how it goes mom?

That's pretty tool (cool)

Jimmy jimbos (his nickname for James)

You just love him Mom? ( I guess I say "I just love you" to my boys alot because there have been a few times that I will rub Spencers arm when he goes to bed and he will ask me this)

I can't think of all the funny/sweet things he says and it feels like he says a new one every day. I really do just love him and James too!

P.S. This is a time of many changes for us. Dan was recently released from the high council as we are moving out of the stake, the semester is ending and Dan if starting a new job. We are so excited for our new house! Dan starts his full time posistion this coming Monday. I think he's looking forward to a break from school. This has been a crazy semester for him. I'm so proud of the way he has handled it all and still made time for me and the boys. I love you sweetie!

2008-06-18T20:37:00.000-07:00

We are so excited to get into our new home! We can't believe how quickly it worked out! I have been realizing that there are many good friends and even some family of ours that had no idea we were getting into a home. I realized that if I were to look at a dear friends blog and find out they hadn't told me they were moving I might feel...at least out of the loop. So, to those of you who were very surprised , don't feel left out , it was a surprise to us too. :) We were thinking we would get into a home next spring maybe but we thought we would look around just for fun. This house was one that was being built in a brand new sub division in Rigby. We found it almost built which is fun because we get to pick out some of the fixtures and the siding. We are very excited about the yard, it sits on a little over an acre so there will be plenty of room for the boys to run around in. This was all made possible because Daniel got a job with the Bank of Commerce here working as a loan officer. They are building a brand new branch here in Rexburg that he is going to be working out of. So it seems like the Smiths are staying in Idaho for a while.

All kinds of FUN!!!!

2008-06-09T07:08:00.000-07:00

We had such a fun weekend with Aaron and Lani. You can see cute little pregnant Lani in the background. This was the yard crew at Mom and Dad Smith's house. Jimmy and Spencer slept the whole time. I don't think I've ever had more fun pushing a lawn mower.
I know, I should have gotten rid of the red-eye first but, AREN'T THEY SO CUTE!!
Jimmy just hanging out durning yard work at Aaron and Lani's
OUT OF ORDER! There are a few pictures of my new hair cut and a few of our new house. Anyway, this is our new house and yard YEAH!!! there are more pictures at the bottom. I am still trying to figure out the difference between the order I load the pictures and the order they show up.

I LOVE the kitchen!

My Mom and sisters have been waiting to see this so here I am! I really like it now, she cut off more than I was hoping but she said it would hold the curl better that way.

2008-05-17T14:20:00.000-07:00

Our gifted child, We are so proud

Here is a funny video of James laughing and Spencer being his normal silly self. They are both very happy boys.

Camping in Zions National Park

2008-05-06T14:05:00.000-07:00

We went camping a few weeks ago in southern Utah with Dan's brother Nrian and his family. We all had a blast and enjoyed the warm weather.

These two are at Gramdma McDermott's house

2008-05-04T07:37:00.000-07:00

Yesterday we had a great canooing adventure. We went with Aaron (by bro.) and Kenz and their little girl, Brookie. We had a great time and saw lots of animals. We saw one beaver, two moose (living, there were also a few dead ones, sad I know) turtles, geese, countless ducks and the coolest was bald eagels. There was a huge nest with the mama bird in it and then we saw the daddy bird fly in. I think we could hear some babies in there. In the words of my brother, we felt very patriotic. :) Dan was paddling the back and I was the front with the boys inbetween us. Spencer was also working hard paddling with a stick he found before we got in, it was also a fishing pole on and off through out the trip. He loved it and was saying "wook a dat!" (look at that) for every thing he saw. Sweet little James cried for the last half hour until he fell asleep. He did pretty good for a 4 month old. For all the fun we had we took no pictures so I took this one of Spencer before we took the canooe back.
This was five days ago. Weird? Yes. A surprise? Not to those of us in Rexburg who have been experiencing winter and then spring every few days for the last two months.
ALL WORN OUT !!!

A few days ago James had his four month shots. The poor little guy had a hard time with it and got up about 5 times that night where he usualy only gets up once. Because of his crying, I guess, Spencer also got up about 3 or 4 times that night which is unusual for him. There is a chair at the end of our bed where I feed James in the night. Spencer uses it as a latter and sneaks up on my side and climbs in the covers. When I'm really tired I don't even know he's there. As you can see, by morning the boys were in our bed, poor Dan was kicked out, and the three of us we zonked out. We went to bed early the next night!

Just Like Dad!!

Last Sunday Morning Dan was getting ready for his meeting and Spencer asked him where he was going Dan told him he had high council. Spencer said, "I go to council too." After Dan left Spence got Dan's hat and asked for a tie and was my big helper all day. It's so fun for me to hear all the cute things he says all day and I'm so glad he has such a good Daddy to imitate.

Here is a little video of Spencer right after Christmas. As you can tell he is starting to be a great talker. Spencer will be turning 2 on March 1st, which is this Saturday. We hope to have a video of his Birthday on our next post.

Dan and I have now joined the blogger bunch. I am going to try and post something once a week for our friends and family to look at, however, at this point in my life I am trying to figure out how to take care of two kids and still cook dinner so, I will try my best. This was our first family picture with James. He is a very patient baby and a great smiler as you can tell from the video. Spencer is very protective of his new brother. When ever James cries spencer tells me, "get him Mom, get him" We are all doing well and enjoying a semester where niether Dan or I are in school. We have about a year and a half and we should be done. So that's a little update on the Smith Family. :)
