So we just got back from our annual trip to Bakersfield California. We got to spend time with my dad and my brothers, as well as my beautiful niece's Kaelan Jo and Sierra Jo. We had alot of fun with the family doing things like, driving Grandpa's truck and going to LA for a night. Bud had alot of fun in LA, he really enjoys going to Monster Massive every year. This year there were about 80 thousand people there and performers from around the world. We will be going back to Bakersfield for my little brother Darrens wedding a few months. Until then I will miss them alot..

Our life

So in a nut shell here is our life. We both are lucky in that we have really great jobs, that we both enjoy very much. Bud is working for Saint George City as a camera van operator for the Waste Water division and I am working for Redrock Pediatrics for a Dr. who has an amazing talent for helping kids. I love my job because I get to be a part of something BIGGER, build relationships with these families and be a sense of comfort in what sometimes can be a scary time. Our son Gabriel is gorgeous and growing bigger everyday. He doesn't do a whole lot in the way of recreation right now as he is only 1 yr old but he sure keeps us busy. We love and live in Saint George, and are really happy with the way things are going right now. The only thing that could be better was if all of both our families were closer to us. We miss them very much!! For those of you who are close to us you know how important our family is to us. We are getting ready for trip to California in two weeks were we will go to the beach and the zoo and spend the day with Gabes Grandpa Kevin, Grandma Carolyn, Grandpa Dalton, Uncle Dustin & Aunt Rita cousin Sierra, Uncle Darren &Aunt Marry and cousin Kaylen. A day at the zoo to remember, I WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED AND GIVE LOTS OF DETAILS.!! Talk to you soon.
-Much Love the Smitherman Family
