Airplanes

Highlights from the Air Show:

Hahahahaha
We were stared down at church the following day. Mostly Mr Smith. 
But people didn't even get to see this masterpiece:


By Monday, no one said anything to me because I just look tan, now Mr Smith still can't say the same.
Strangers made jokes. Haha. 


Here he is trying to run away from the camera


 Now back to a wonderful Saturday afternoon


Blue Team!


My personal favorite. Very scary looking.



Miss Addi aka adorable. I had to snap three pics. There is dad.


Here is mom (who made sure they were protected from the sun)


Ah yes, the close-up


And then there is us, who really didn't come prepared for this WS must-do. I feel like there is only so much that happens in WS that you really can't afford to miss any event, haha. 

Just bring your sunscreen.
Dang - I just downed a 75% full bag of Ritz crackers while writing this post.
Call me, Mrs Awesome. 

Mr Smith is doing the dishes and probably thinking about the dinner I'm not making. He is super. Totally pulling through with my slack this week. I have one amazing husband.

He just made nachos. Yes, it's all he can do when I don't do anything (which he's completely okay with) and he has allowed me to have only a couple. We think I'm having issues with lactose these days and due to stomach aches that linger longer all the time now, I'm thinking about going back to Almond Milk, but giving up cheese? It's just unbearable!

    I think you should rename your blog: Mr. & Mrs. Smith the story of our awesome, ordinary life with Addilyn. Just saying. I'm glad you ended up having fun!

And so it begins, again

At what point do you ... 1. Keep holding on waiting for inspiration to come 2. Try something different 3. Let go & walk away I'd say most of us are usually somewhere in between #1 & #2, but there are occasional moments where I find myself locked into another Jane Austin film with some oreos & milk ignoring reality all together.  Today, I'm trying to rise above some level of complacency & clear my mind at your expense. Mr Smith & I had a good run of it, but since blogs became obsolete in 2017 while Instragram chained us all to algorithms, I had no audience nor desire to write in this world. But times change, after it murders our souls, and alas we are famished for an authentic keyboard with less distractions again. So, let's catch up. They say it comes in threes... Since our job change in 2017, we experienced three more moves, three additional job changes (that don't necessarily align with the moves), and three additional children.  2018-2022 were ver...

Breaking Silence for Religion

I've never been good at being concise. I like words too much. I think outloud. And I haven't had time to blog all these conversations & posts & mental thoughts and it's eating at me to write it all down, to get it out there. These are some words that no one understands anymore: love, tolerance, faith, forgiveness, covenants, judgment, respect, moderation, self-worth, humility, equality...at least if they say they do, I wouldn't believe them. In truth, I think we should be forever understanding what these words mean. Yet I hear people affirming over & over again in their actions & with their voice that they want to be right and they want you to know it & accept the choices they're making. So much for democracy & freedom. They might say "to each his own" but I'm not idealistic anymore, people don't really believe that.  I reference "the world" a lot. Let's clarify what I mean. We can start with Holly...

Will We Seek Jesus?

By
God expects us to hold happiness and sorrow at the same time. It’s a beautiful contrary that many of us struggle to understand, but it’s really key to understanding our purpose on earth. We can easily find ourselves in a battle of emotions if we can’t accept that both can exist at the same time; we will falsely accuse ourselves or others as either ungrateful & weak, or overly strong & fake. Perhaps a lot of it is how we speak to the struggle.  Our main purpose is to experience heartache & frustration (one side of the coin), but to overcome it through the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, which provides everlasting joy (the other side of the coin). In order to really value the Atonement of Jesus Christ, many of us are humbled by the feeling of hopelessness. We will all experience some level of loss & acute awareness of our own weaknesses, usually when things start to feel out of our control. But what does holding both sorrow & joy look like? That is a quest...
