Thia visits Grandma and Grandpa Smith

 Look what wonderful visitors we had today!!!  Stan, Julie and darling Thia - they are on their way down to Salt Lake - Julie's sister Heidi and family are in town and they will spend the weekend with them - Julie's Dad got them all ski passes to Deer Valley tomorrow - fun, fun, fun!

 Thia laughs so cute when Stan snuggles her!

 Stan had the tread mill on the slowest speed and put her at the front and she would glide to the end - and he's catch her - she loved it!!

 Isn't this a cute picture of Thia looking at Grandpa Smith?

 She is so dear - just like all the other Grand Children are!!

Sure love this little darling - she is saying:  Da-Da - so cute!  Jabbers and plays with toys - wish we lived closer!!

RS Stake Service Project

 Our Stake RS Meeting was tonight - we had a nice dinner and then made these baby hats for stillborn infants.  It is a program called Angel Babies - or Teeny Tears - check it out online.  They are very easy to make - using surgical gauze - the smallest are 2 inches, the middle ones 3 inches and the largest are 4 inches.  The tiny ones are for 12 week to 15 weeks, the middle ones 16 to 20 weeks and the largest for above 20 weeks.  They will be given to hospitals in our area for the dressing of stillborn babies to wear when they are taken to their parents to say goodbye.  You can also make 12 x 12 blankets, and small kimono gowns - check the website.  There take make 5 minutes to make!!

 This is the small card placed in the baggie with two of the hats,  one to dress the baby and one for the parents to keep as a memento.

This was at each of our plates at the dinner - I spilled my water!!  Lovely evening.

Simplot Games - Indoor Track Meet

 We noticed this ad in the newspaper a couple weeks ago - a couple in our ward are the Directors of Volunteers - so Dad volunteered!

 Held in Idaho State's Holt Arena - wooden track - athletes can't wear spikes on their shoes.

 Dad was an umpire - on the second turn of the track - he would hold up this white flag when 'all was well' with the runners - I think that young man was the last one in this heat.

Waiting for the runners - isn't he cute?  I dropped him off in the morning and came to watch the last few races at 5:00 - he gets to keep the shirt, and got a ticket for lunch!

I know this is sideways - don't know how to correct it .. just wanted you to see the high school athlete who had his legs amputated below the knees when he was ll months old - he won two races!!
