Bring it on 2010!
2009 was a year at the Smith's. I will be the first to say that a lot of good things happened it 2009. We have so much to be grateful for! But, for me it was probably the most challenging year of my life, I have grown up in many ways this year both good and bad. Lets just say I was ready to ring in the new year and start new! And what better way to do it than on a much needed vacation! Corb and I left the day after Christmas and drove to San Diego. We went to the San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal park and then spent three magical days at the happiest place on earth!
I know we are supposed to act like adults... but where is the fun in that?
So I know this is not a cute picture but... if you know me well you know I am TERRIFIED of birds. I am so proud of this moment! We bought these little cups of nectar at the wild animal park and these Lorikeets just fly down and eat it out of your hands! It was so scary!
I just love giraffes and they had 22 of them!
Again, not a cute picture. I can not tell you how much I love Disneyland without sounding like a total loser but Christmas in Disneyland is just MAGICAL. After the fireworks on main street it even snows!
Look how big that tree is! and on a side note how cute is Corb's beard? He is just excited that now that he does not have to be clean shaven for work anymore... he is running with it.
Corbin had to get a turkey leg... I can tell you that is one part of Disney that I could live without, but I do wish I had some of that fresh sourdough bread right about now!
Happy New Years! Love, The Smiths

Look Out!
There new things on the horizon!
I have waited such a long time for this day to come... as of tonight at 11pm my husband will no longer be a security guard at the University of Utah. I am grateful he was able to have this job for so long and for all the perks involved. I am even more grateful that I have the job I do and that he can finally quit. We are used to having our weekends and then essentially saying goodbye for the week. He is asleep when I leave and I am asleep when he gets home. FINALLY we can see each other awake!
Look out Cleaver's the Smith's are having family dinners too!

Thankful
I am grateful for:
Flower deliveries.
Notes sent in the mail.
Late night visits and talks.
Kids that miss me when I take a day off.
Text messages.
Sleeping in.
This guy:
But most of all I am grateful for my testimony of the gospel, and a Heavenly Father who loves me. He understands my faults, my weaknesses, and my pain.
I truly have much to be thankful for.

I have an idea...
I know.... I have so much catching up to do and a billion things to post about but I don't have time right this second! I will say this much my classroom is up and running and I have the best second graders with funny personalities who I already ADORE! And I will share this funny little tid bit from my day today.
My students are making calendars for their parents for christmas, which means we need to do one art project a week until then to get them finished! This weeks project: tear art. Students had paper and glue and that was it to create whatever they wanted. This little boy who I just love had the following conversation with me:
Me: Okay guys, remember you can make your picture of whatever you want as long as it is not violent.
Him: Mrs. Smith is JarJar Binks fighting a Storm Trooper violent?
Me: Sorry bud that is probably not the best idea... could you make them but not fighting?
Him: Hmmm...(hand on head, finger flies into the air) I have an idea!
Me: Awesome, get to work.
10 minutes later:
Him: Look Mrs. Smith! I added a disco ball and now they are just dancing!
Me: .... speechless.... this is what I saw:
I wish I could keep it forever! Such a funny boy!
More later! Peace Out!
