Nap Time

My friend Candace wrote a post about how beautiful her children look when they sleep. Now don't get me wrong Garrett is beautiful all the time but this is quite typical of Garrett's naps. he usually is way in the corner or hanging half way out of the crib. It always makes me laugh. I don't know how he sleeps like that.

Lover Not A Fighter!

One of my favorite things about Garrett is the kisses and hugs he gives not only to me but everyone. He's such a sweet boy. He's a couple pictures of Garrett and Kiley giving eachother kisses and hugs, and a few with Grandma Brenda and Grandpa Joe. We love you and miss you!

Roaring Springs

We also went to Roaring Springs while in Boise and had a blast. Pictures coming soon. I have to wait for Katie to wake up and upload them onto facebook, but I wanted to save a place so my posts would be in order!

My Beautiful Sisters!

I had to add a separate post just to comment on my beautiful sisters. I can't believe how fast they are growing up. I love you girls!

This was my favorite picture from the weekend. Kels you are so pretty!

Twilight Criterium

We went to Boise almost two weeks ago now, to watch my brother Matt compete in the Twilight Criterium. We had such a good time sitting downtown eating Popsicles and watching all the different races. Matt did such a good job and never cease to amaze us with your strength and determination! Way to go Uncle Matt!

This picture doesn't show the huge pack of racers but at least you can see Matt he's in the Blue.
Garrett and I enjoying the race. Notice he's toxic blue lips. Thanks Uncle Dave!
This is the toxic Popsicle that Garrett loved so much.

Garrett's first camping trip!

We went camping last weekend right up the canyon from our house. Grant got home from work Friday night, we ate dinner and he decided we should go camping. So we threw our stuff in the car and headed out. Garrett loved almost every minute of it. He seemed to be a little uncomfortable through the night, and of course was up at about 6:30 and ready to be out of the tent. Can't you tell how much he loved being outside and playing with sticks and rocks and dirt.
Cute little family pic. Keep in mind we were camping!
Grant and Garrett testing out the air mattress. I don't always get smiles like that!

Our beautiful camp site. I can't believe how beautiful it is here. We drove only a few minutes from our house and there were beautiful spots everywhere. Thanks for putting up with us Grant. We had a great time!

Marshmallow Brownies

Hey Candace here's a picture of those brownies I created. They were actually really good, so moist and chewy. I used about half a can of marshmallow ice-cream topping and swirled it together. Give it a try!

Shanty get together!

We had a little get together with some of Grants friends from college! Garrett had so much fun. There was a pool, tramp, swingset and sandbox with dump trucks and tractors. what more could a kid want right? The only problem was I didn't bring a swimsuit or a swim diaper for the poor kid. So after watching the other kids swim for about an hour he couldn't take it anymore. So Grant let him swim in his diaper. Let me tell you, the cheap generic diapers from Broulims hold so much liquid, in this case pool water. Everyone was taking pictures of poor little Garrett. He could barely walk around in the pool but he didn't care he was happy where he was. We also enjoyed the tire swing together. Grant would push us around in circles and we would try to kick him whenever we could. Garrett thought it was so funny to "get" dad.
This was the best picture I got of his diaper. He stayed in for 20 minutes after that.
How cute is my little boy.
Gotcha Dad!!!

Moving again!

5 truckloads

Way too many boxes

Two professional movers (Tate and Tav)

2 full days

Moving in with our new four legged friend... PRICELESS

We moved last weekend for the 5th time in a year and a half. I'm so sick of moving! We are house sitting again which means free rent! But this time we have a little added bonus. We get to watch their dog Cleo. So we'll see how the next 6 months go. The best thing is they have these little stairs for the dog so she can get up on the couch. Garrett is pretty sure they are there for him so he can get on the couch easier.
