Our little garden....

We planted a garden for the first time this year. It is going really well. We are exploding with cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, zucchini and squash! Oh, and jalapenos. If anyone would like anything please let us know! We don't have a ton of lettuce but there is plenty of other food. And the tomatoes are mostly cherry tomatoes. Here are a few pics. We are hoping more then one pumpkin comes up and that the watermelon make it. We have a few little cute ones coming. Oh and carrots! I forget that we have those since we can't really pick them yet. Garrett loves the garden. He loves to weed it with us. He also loves to eat it as you can see. Mark and I were picking some tomatoes and all of a sudden we look over and he has a whole cherry tomato in his mouth still attached to the vine. It was hilarious! We love having him! He is such a silly boy!

Just a little help during these tight times!

I put on here another blog that has all the latest discounts and coupons for all sorts of things. It is really nice. I have been checking it everyday to see what I can get for the best deal. It is on the side of my blog and it says something like a place for discounts and free things. Sorry I don't remember what I put exactly. Hope this helps out with a few things!

Update from July!

Sorry this has taken me forever to update! Here is what has been going on in our lifes....Garrett got his first 2 teeth. They are the bottom ones. He can stand on his own, but only for a a few seconds. He is into anything and everything he can reach. And when we tell him no he yells at us...he has got his mommy's attitude! It is hard not to laugh at him though when he yells back. His hair is getting way long and still stands up. He is the love of our lifes and we don't know what we would do without him! The top pic is of Garrett's first time playing in the sprinklers, he loved it! So here are a fews picks of the last month and so!

Just being a sweetheart!

The 4th of July!

At West Jordan Days. Or whatever they are called!

Wheeler Farm

Garrett's first time to Wheeler Farm was funner for me then it was for him. He was just enjoying the ride outside. He was so good, even when we had to stay in the tractor barn for awhile because it started to rain. I got to chitchat with a few friends from my ward. It was way fun. We will have to go again when Garrett will have more fun. Even though he did enjoy hanging out with his little buddies too. He fell asleep as we were leaving and slept for a good 2 hours when we got home. So nice for me cause I got in a good nap too!

Funny faces

So we have been trying to give Garrett baby snacks to get him used to textures. He is hilarious. Here is him trying out the yogurt melts.







Congrats Mark on the promotion! We are so proud of you! Thanks for all you do we love you!

A little piece of Heaven...

Garrett is such a cutie! He loves wearing a hat. He even posed a couple times. (well as much as a 6 month old will)Plus just a random cute one of him just him posing.


Thank you Alison for making these delicious Oreo bon bons! They are so yummy!
They just melt in your mouth! Totally a little piece of Heaven!!

Random

I know this is random but it is hot! Well she looks hot, not so much him....but its hot in general!
Bella and Edward

My baby love!

Getting ready to go out on the town!





















Rocking the cowboy boots!















St. Patrick's Day!
















Getting ready to go outside!















Just getting out of the bath! He loves baths!

I can't believe how fast Garrett is growing up! He is in such a fun stage right now. He is now rolling over and talking/screaming non stop (well the talking has always happened), well the talking is not literal but you know what I mean. Lots of baby talk! He for sure has my attitude as Mark likes to point out almost everyday! But he looks just like Mark. He is perfect. He for sure knows how to work us already though. When he is mad he lets us know by yelling at us. It is cute though. We are amazed at how fast his skills are developing. When he rolls over it is only on the right side, he has tried the left but gets frustrated cause he can't turn all the way and cries. I have to be careful where I put him down cause he moves the second I put him down and tries to grab whatever is closest and put it in his mouth! Well he is a cutie pie!! We are so lucky to have such a good and happy baby! We love him! Here are some random pics of him and of us on St. Patrick's Day! I will put the rolling over video on when I figure out how to put videos on my computer! Hopefully sooner than later!

What a cutie!

Poor Garrett got more shots on Monday :( Well there is a shortage of one of the most important vaccinations so we have to go back when that one comes in. Poor guy! He has to get shots more often. I feel so bad. They make him so upset! It makes me want to cry. I told Mark 'I don't know if I will have any more kids, cause I do not like seeing Garrett cry and there is nothing I can do about it.' He is a really good boy though. His first shots he only cried for a minute this time he cried for along time. He cried all the way out to the car and everything...so sad! It was cause he was so tired and he had fallen asleep on the way to get his shots. He woke up when we got there and he had only slept for a few minutes. Well to keep everyone up to date he is now 25 1/2 in long and he weighs 13.7 lbs. He is growing so fast! I can't believe my baby is already 4 months old! What a cutie!

And congrats Heather and Ryan!! We are so excited to meet Kayden! Garrett is excited for his best friend to be here finally!!

Valentine's Day Cookies

Yummy! Thanks for the cookies, bread and soup! We really enjoyed being a part of this, this year. Garrett had a blast also as you can see!! We loved seeing the family...but we did miss you Shirley, Shantel, Kolby, Jeff, Mickie, Tietjen and Annabelle!!

Annalisa and Garrett

Even though we only got to spend a few minutes with you guys we had fun! We have to get together again when you have some more time! Hopefully the weather will get better so we can come up to Logan soon! We love you Cody, Lisa, Lee and Annalisa!! (I spelled her name right, right?)

Just some cute pics of our baby!

Thanks Laura for taking the pics and thanks Greg for putting them on a CD so I could take them!! We love you!

Back to Work

So I am back to work as of Jan 12th. It has been almost 2 weeks now and it is just as hard to leave every morning as it was that first day back. I didn't full out cry, but I was close. Leaving Garrett is so hard to do. He is so cute and half the time he isn't awake when I am leaving so I just tell him I love him and blow him a kiss. Mark is a great baby sitter though. We are very lucky to be able to have family to watch our son. Mark watches him on Mon, Tues & Weds and my mom watches him on Thurs. I am down to part time which is nice, cause I can see Garrett a lot more then I thought I would. Even though staying home would be ideal. It will come with time. I am very grateful for my job. My boss has been wonderful working with my schedule. Thank you Shari!!
Garrett is getting so fun! I don't want to miss anything so hopefully sooner then later I will be able to be a full time mommy! He is laughing ALL the time and constantly smiling. We are very lucky to have such a good and happy baby. He is more then we could ask for. We love you Garrett!!

ABCDEFG...for Garrett

Garrett is starting to immitate all the sounds we make. If I sing the alphabet he is singing it too. Well most of the time. His little personality is shinning through! His bouncer chair has toys that can hook on to it. He grabs them now and has staring contests with them. When they don't talk back to him he yells at them. It is so cute! He will be 3 months old this month!! I can't believe it! My baby is getting so big already. Yesterday I left him upstairs for a second with the radio on so I could find a movie downstairs. I could hear him singing to the music all the way down stairs. It was so cute! He is still a cuddler and half the time he won't fall asleep unless he is touching me or Mark. He also is starting to splash in the tub. Every day we are figuring out a new way to make him laugh. Baby laughs are adorable! What a cutie!!
