Richard and Joy Smith
Our first son, Rich and his wife, Joy, and their children, Kaleb, 14(back), Kolby, 11(left) Katy, 5 (center) and Kalvin, 7 (right) are a busy, happy family. Rich was born at Utah Valley Hospital in 1968, while we, his parents were attending BYU. He was raised in Freeport, Texas, Lake Charles Louisiana, and Cottage Grove, Minnesota. He served his LDS mission in the North Tokyo, Japan. He attended Ricks College, which is now BYU-Idaho and Brigham Young University. He has learned how to work on engines and keeps his cars, trucks and boats in good repair. Rich works as an industrial design engineer and supports his family well. He teaches his family the gospel of Jesus Christ and lives the precepts he teaches. Joy was born and raised in Tustin, California. She attended a junior college in California and BYU, and served an LDS mission in Costa Rica. She graduated in Health and P. E.. She is unwaveringly valiant in living her religion and is a most fun and interesting person! She is so energetic, it's hard to keep up with her activities. Rich and Joy and their family enjoy many family outings as they bike, motor bike, water ski, snow ski and snow board, camp, and hike. The children are involved in karate, football, soccer, basketball, and kickball at one time or another. They play the piano and sing and dance. Joy teaches a twice- weekly kickboxing class, and also runs marathons and participates in triathlons and duathlons. They serve their extended family, neighbors and fellow church members with love and involve their children in work, play and worship. We really appreciate their good lives and love to be around them whenever we have the opportunity!
