Smiths

The Smith family is amazing. That would be my mom and her sister Diana and brother Doug. They were all born in Washington state. My mom was born in Moses Lake, Diana in Toppenish and Doug in Yakima. My mom did not have a good childhood. Her mom died when she was 5 almost 6 years old, and her dad always drank. But she turned out as the most amazing person I know. The strongest, pretty, smart and just amazing mom in the world. But I love the Smith family. =] I really wish I could have met my grandma. She sounds like such an amazing lady. My mom grew up living and moving around to a lot of her aunts houses, but she mostly grew up with Aunt Norma. She was my favorite. She was just like I think my grandma would have been like. When she died about 4 or 5 years ago, it was really hard. But now we have a huge family. Diana and Dennis have 6 kids, Trevor, Tyler, Todd, Kori, Brooke, Krystal. Trevor married Jacque and has 4 little girls.. well not quite little anymore. Kelsey is 11?, Lauryn and Kylie are 9, and Karliegh is 5 almost 6. They live in Watertown, Wisconsin.
Tyler married Dawn and also had four cute little ones. Jordan 10, Zach 8, Brinna 5, Max 2. They live in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada.

Todd married Angela and has 5 wonderful children. Acacia 8, Pyper almost 6, Jett 4, Corbin 3, and Phoenix Kherington almost a year. They live in Riverton, Utah.



Kori married Todd Anderson and has two of the cutest kids in the universe. Isaiah 5 yesterday, and Allie 2. They live in Grand Prairie, Alberta, Canada.


Brookie was born with water on her brain so she hasn't walked at all in her life. She is such an example to me. I love her oh so much. She lives in Mountain View, Alberta with her parents.

Krystal married Paul Zygmont. They live in Las Vegas, Nevada.


Douglas married Kelly Ann Brown. And they have three of the best boys in the world. They are like my brothers and I love them so much. Andrew is 21 and came home from his mission a couple months ago. Cameron is 17 and we are always told by his aunt Robin we look a lot alike. And Spencey Poo is 12. They all live in Las Vegas, Nevada.



And then there are the Olsons. Our cute little family. My mom, Carol, dad Richard, Erika 20, and Erin 16. Trust me this picture is absolutely terrible of us. We actually usually look really good.... not!



Wow! Our family is huge! I love it so much. There are 16 cousins in all (including spouses) and 15 little cousins. I love my family. Its most amazing. Here are just some old fun pictures of us all. Enjoy! =]

This is my Grandpa Smith. I only saw him (and remembered) about two times in my life but going back to Mississippi for his funeral made me get to know him a lot and I love him very much.
I love my family and am so greatful for them. They will never ever know how much they mean to me. =]
