Smiths' Mothers Day

OK ~ here's the Mom on her Mothers Day! This will be the only picture you see of her as she is the one always behind the camera! Cassidy grabbed my camera to get me in a shot here!
The day started out with Colby & I going to church - she & Emily sang a beautiful duet in church. They will be singing it at graduation too I believe. You can't understand it as it is in another language - but beautiful just the same! I got to see my Mom at church too!
After church we picked up the 3 guys & went to Rapid - got chalupas at Taco Bell & had our picnic in Canyon Lake Park. It is such a lovely park! Cassidy had spent the night at Chancie's so she met up with us at the park too! (Chancie had to work :( but we did talk!)
Here is our picnic lunch
The clouds rolled over & even gave us a few sprinkles - but that didn't last too long
Later the umbrella served as a sun protector!
The guys played several rousing games of Bocce ball!
I guess we can say they are all 3 'in step' with each other huh?!?!?
The girls tossed around a volleyball
Volleyball is these two daughters favorite sport ya know!
Then we drove thru the Badlands on the way home - thru the buffalo pasture ...
And into the beautiful Badlands! They do so amaze me every time I see them!
Look how brilliant the stripes were!
Tucker said he really likes these 'mound' kind of Badlands - look at all their color!
Then you add some green grass & you've got one of God's masterpieces!
This was off of a lookout point ~ pretty ...
They all got ahead of me here! Cass is down there taking a picture of me taking a picture of them!!!
Where did my little (?) boy go? Oh dear, he's clear out there on a peak!
Kieth & Tucker look the valley over - you can see by Tucker's shirt that the wind was blowing pretty good at this point!
Then when we got home Cassidy cut a couple friends' hair for them! A very full day!
A very fun day! Made me ever more aware of how truly Blessed I am to have the children I have, the husband I have, & be in the family I am in!
I hope your Mothers Days were awesome too!
Love,
Deb
