The Smyff Family


From L to R: Gregory 24, Brittany 21, Ed & Nancy,

Jeremey (in tree) 16, Hillary 19 and her hubby Joshua 22


Our family has grown as you can see in more ways then one! The kids have ALL grown up, we have welcomed a son-in-law into the family, and Ed and I are "growning" OLD together!



We have had a lot of "proud" parent moments over the last few weeks and wanted to share them with everyone....


Gregory graduated from the University of Montana in Missoula on the 10th of May with a Bachelors Degree in History. He is going on for his masters and doctorate as he would like to be a professor and has hopes of getting at least his masters from the University of Utah.


Brittany has decided to go on a mission for our church. She will be serving in the Mesa, Arizona mission/Spanish speaking. Currently she is in the MTC (missionary training center) learning the language. In conjunction she will also be working as a tour guide at the Mesa Temple Visitors Center. She entered the MTC on June 4th and should be headed to Arizona around August 4th.


Hillary married her best friend on May 16th in the Salt Lake Temple. Joshua is from Great Falls and has served a full time mission for the church as well in Rio de Janiero, Brazil. Hillary looked absolutely gorgeous and Josh was mighty handsome as well! Check out the photos below of there special day... We are very happy to have Joshua join our family -


Jeremey is enjoying his life as a "teenager"! He is quite the "ladies" man.. He has the sense of humor that makes my gloomy days brighten right up! He loves to play the drums and actually was quite the basketball stud over in England for the Menwith Hill Mustangs! He was given the nickname of "FISH" as well...


Ed and I are just hanging out together - growing older and getting more and more "well seasoned"! We couldn't be prouder parents - we are floating on cloud nine right now!!!

We currently reside over in England - we are getting used to the opposite side of the road, crisps, fish and chips, and round-a-bouts! We are living in the countryside and really enjoy the slower pace of life... In fact we can look over our back deck and see sheep or cows grazing in the fields!


Our hope is to keep up on this blog so that you all can see what our crazy family is up to! We are always changing, updating, or moving! If you have a "BLOG" please let us know so we can see what's going on in your lives!
