Ethan and Maddy are engaged!

Thanks to help from Ethan's BFF's Tyson and Parker, Ethan was able to surprise Maddy on their weekend trip and asked her to marry him!  She said YES!!  They have set August 22, 2020 as their wedding day.  We are so excited to officially welcome Maddy into our family.  We can't wait.

 

Evan's time in Peru

I'll make an entire book from the experiences Elder Smith had in Peru, but I wanted to include some of the photos here in our family book so we can know what he was up to while he was serving in Peru.  His first companion (trainer) was Elder Acevedo from Mexico and they served Torra Blanca.  He was then transferred to Bayovar to serve with Elder Garcia from Ecuador.  He had some amazing things to eat, some fun and adventurous p-days, and several baptisms that he was a part of.  Such a great start and so sad it was cut short.  He did all he was asked!  God speed Elder Smith!

 

Cheer Nationals and Disneyland!

After winning JV state championships the Alta JV Cheer team was off to Nationals in Anaheim California!  They competed the first day and fell one point short of continuing on....so they were able to enjoy Disneyland and California Adventure together as well.  Such a fun trip for all the hard work of the season.  Way to go girls!

 

Feelin' 22...

Happy birthday to Ethan Charles Patterson Smith.  He is 22 years old!  Growing up so fast and he has become an amazing young man.  I can't wait to continue watching what you will do with your life.  Stay humble and kind!

 

A new Saturday sport! State Champs!

We've enjoyed watching our new Saturday morning sports with cheerleading!  Alta JV did so amazing this year...they placed 1st in every competition they were in...including 1st in State!  Congratulations to an awesome year!

Elder Smith Off to Peru!

Today, after recovering from his 2nd ACL surgery in 90 days Elder Evan Smith was able to return to his missionary assignment and head off to Lima Peru.  We are so incredibly proud of his determination to serve and to give his all....just please, be careful!!

Elder Evan Smith arrived to Lima Peru and met his mission president and wife.

 

Christmas Tree decorating night!

 What a fun family night to get together and decorate the tree.  I love these precious family moments while we are all together.  It's one of my greatest joys...my family!
