Smith Family February News



Brandon has been busy with work. He's a one-man show there, so he has to do everything. Everywhere is hiring in Vernal, so it's extremely hard to find good employees. Anyone want a job? He was called to be in the Elders Quorum Presidency, which is good for him. He's enjoying not being the EQ President anymore!

I, Mindy have been cleaning new houses for a side job, which is a lot of work, but good pay. I enjoy not having to deal with people. (Teaching violin lessons has its good people, and its bad..) I have also been Substituting at the school for a side side job. I just got called to be the Ward Activities Chairman. I have learned to be excited about it. ;)

Aubrey has had 3 babysitting jobs in the last 2 weeks, so it looks like her babysitting career has finally started to take off here in Vernal. She loves babysitting, and was so sad to leave her jobs in Rigby. She's been getting such awful grades in school... usually 103%, or 106%... (I'm being very sarcastic with the awful!)

Tyler is excited to start baseball, and has been doing well in school. He usually gets Cooper's breakfast for him in the mornings, and tries to do good things. He has been doing a little bit with scouts here, but it's not quite as organized or big as it was in Rigby, so he's a little disappointed about that. I'm not going to complain though, since I DO NOT want that job!!

Cooper has had a lot of growing pains, but he hasn't been doing a lot of growing. He'll be 7 in April, and has yet to lose a tooth. Maybe he's actually listening to us when we tell him not to grow up too fast! He's excited to start baseball, too, and is doing excellent in school. He is the top reader in his class, by far. (I know... I volunteer for a couple of hours each week in his class.)

Well, there's the news! If you want to know more, click on our personal blog link on the side. We love all of our family, and pray for those going through hard times.

Love, Brandon, Mindy, Aubrey, Tyler, and Cooper
