Are you ready for some FOOTBALL?!

MUSTANGS #33

School is back in session and that means that there will be a couple of CRAZY parents screaming for a "STUD MUFFIN" which is known affectionately as "FISH". Jeremey is #33 playing wing back for offense and safety for defense. Needless to say that this MOM is not used to seeing her baby boy (which has grown up into a handsome young man) being tackled and smooshed on the football field! I thought I would be watching there scrimage game last Saturday though my fingers!!! However, braving the wind and rain Ed and I sat, stood, yelled, cheered, and gasped during the 4 ~ 30 minute games they palyed.

I know you are all wondering - and YES our FISH made a TOUCH DOWN!!!!!

It was quite exciting - it was the first one for the team and for him!!!



Football season doesn't come without it's injuries!!! YIKES a cleat to the calve! Nothing a nice STRETCH won't cure!!!

Soon enough he was able to walk it off - and Mom could breathe again!!! Jeremey played a GREAT game! Wish you all could have been here to experience it!

#33 Fish

Mesa Arizona or BUST!!!!

Hermana Smith has made it to Mesa Arizona in one piece! We recieved a nice letter from President & Sister Bennett stating that she was fine and ready to get to "work!"

We got our first email from her on Monday and she let us know that she is currently riding a bike! She also let us know that you really can find everything you need at Wal-Mart. She and her companion found "Jesus". I'm sure this will NOT be the last time she finds him in Mesa!

The above photo is of Pres. & Sister Bennett and there 5 children. Hermana Smith is the one that isn't quite as TAN as all the others! LOL She sure does make an adorable Sister Missionary though!

We are so proud of her and the sacrifice she is making to serve the Lord for the next 15 months.

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!
