..... All of this because two people fell in love!
This blog is dedicated to the memory of those two who started all of this... Adelbert & Della Smith.
Scrapbook pages
I enjoy making blogs and also I love doing digital scrapbooking. I decided to combine these hobbies and make a family blog and insert custom scrapbook pages for you to enjoy in this way as often as you like.
Instead of putting the photos in a book this year, I am designing 8.5x11 scrapbook pages. Just click on them and you can either view them on a larger scale, or you can print them out for yourself on Photo paper from home on your own printer. You can also save them to your computer and then transfer them to a disc and take the disc down to Walmart, or Costco and have them print these pages for you. ( It might be cheaper as printing from home in color is a bit expensive for the ink cartriges) I am doing it this size so that you can go down and buy a loosleaf and some clear plastic sheet protectors and store your scrapbook pages that way. Then you will have your own memory book complete with photos from our reunion 2008. Hopefully if there is another reunion to come, we can add more pages in the future.
I hope you enjoy these pages and make sure to share them with your parents, whom might not be as up to date in their computer skills as you are.
This project may take me weeks to finnish, so keep coming back to see what else has been added to the blog.
I am going to continue what Doris started with adding recipes that are Smith Family Favorites. If you have a Smith favorite recipe, just email it to me and I will add it to the blog. Please write it up as a word document and attach it to the email.
If you have any suggestions on other Smith Family items of interest that you would like to see in this blog, please once again email me with your ideas, photos, family updates, etc. I was thinking that a link to the Smith family genealogy might be nice as well as adding links to any family blog pages or websites as well. This way we can keep up on each others comings and goings.
Also, please help me remember who everyone is on the scrapbook pages. If you can identify members of a photo on a specific page, email me and I will update the page. You can also click on "Comments" below each photo and let me know who the people are in the photos or just comment on that particular page. Comments can only be made in reference to the posts on the columns to the right of the page. Please comment as I would like to know how many of our family are enjoying and visiting this blog.
With efforts of Love,
Kathleen Smith Gauger

and daughter of Max and Connie)

Smith Family Website
I was just notified that there is actually a Smith Family website that was set up last year. I wish I knew about it before, but since I do, I am guessing you didn't know about it either. If you go click on http://www.myfamily.com/signup/respond.aspx?invid=QcmJHLkcDZEIpbDA0PCQ6w
it should take you there. Try it and then get thinking about what you can add to the site. I would love to see lots of vintage family photos. Does someone have old family movies that they could put on the website??? They could really bring back some great memories!

Smith Family Memories
Put on your thinking caps and remember back to the "Good Old Days" and email me your fun Smith Family memories. I will add them to the blog. This is a good way to remember and preserve family history.
Kathleen S. Gauger memory.. I remember Christmas' long ago of going to Grandma and Grandpa Smith's house and sitting on Grandpa's knee and him giving us each a five dollar for Christmas.
I remember in the old Smith home, the huge staircase that led up to a large attic type upstairs area, where our family lived for a few months after selling our home on 183 S. 3rd E. in A.F. waiting for our new home to be built on 325 N . 850 East in A.F.
I remember the Smith Family reunions down on the old Smith Farm in American Fork and I remember games of burrying coins in the sand and all the grandchildren digging for these coins that we get to could keep.

Mike Smith's Funeral Program page
Jodi, sister to Mike sent this funeral program and these words..."Mike was a wonderful boy. He was 6'6" tall when he died and was all heart. I gave the Eulogy at his funeral. I think I'll send you a copy of the Eulogy to post. It might help family members who didn't know him get to know him a little bit better. Mike was 19 years young when he died in 1984. He was killed in a motor vehicle crash when he fell asleep at the wheel while driving to Arizona to attend school. He is buried in the AF cemetary next to Grandpa and Grandma Smith."
