HeCtiC, CrAzY, EmOtiOnaL MoNtH!

I've been the worst blogger the past four or five weeks and I apologize. This past month has been quite a struggle for our little family. This fabulous month started off with my dear Grandpa Smart passing away, which was extremely sad for the entire Smart family. I have lived within a few steps of him and my Grandma's house for as long as I can remember so it's very sad he's not with us anymore. I will miss him dearly! Next, came my near fatal hike in Zions National Park where some friends and I were stuck in a cold, icy canyon for 8 hours and eventually saved by search and rescue. A very scary day which I truly believed would be my last! I'm very grateful for my Heavenly Father because I know it was through him that I am here today. Lastly, Chris's grandma passed away last Sunday which took us to Arizona for the funeral. She was such a sweet, smart, witty lady who will truly be missed by the entire Pew family. So in a very lengthy explanation that has been our month. I hope the saying that bad things come in three's is true because that would mean that we are done for a while!

Here are a few pics from our trip!

They wanted to display all of the different family pictures at the funeral so we

went over to a beautiful park in Gilbert, AZ and got some family pictures taken.
