Easter

We had a pretty great Easter this year! It was pretty low key for us! On Saturday the we dyed Easter eggs. Both kids loved this most of Garrett's eggs ended up broken because he dropped them in the cup instead of setting them in the cups. He had a great time anyway!

On Easter morning we were up pretty early due to early morning meetings at church. Garrett could not get over all the eggs that were all over the floor. Justin was super excited that the Easter bunny brought them the Mario vs. Sonic Olympics game for the Wii. The bunny also brought them both sand toys, new church cloths and a little candy.

They both looked super cute in their new church cloths!

After church most of us had a short nap before we headed over to my brothers house for grandma's egg hunt and dinner. Justin filled his bucket and then he started to fill Garrett's bucket. Garrett lost interest after about ten sparkly eggs and started playing with the toys.(I tried to get him to pick up normal Easter eggs and he wanted nothing to do with them)

After we ate dinner my brother saddled the pony he had at his house and let the kids go for a ride on it! Both kids loved it!

It was super fun day!

Garrett's Birthday Celebrations

Garrett had a great birthday!! On the 9th we had a grandparents party! Grandma Linda made him this cute little "mator" cake (every wrecker is mator). He loved it!

He got some pretty great gifts from everyone.

Mike and I decided we would build him a sand box. Mike started to put the sand in it right before everyone arrived at his party so he could have cared less if anyone was at his house for his party he was going to play in his sand!!

On his birthday he spent all morning with Mike at work because Justin was sick again and I took him to the doctor! When Garrett and Mike got home for lunch we gave him this cute little sand digger and let him open his other presents! He got the V-Smile pocket and some games for it. He loves it! Him and Justin fight about who gets to play with it all the time!

We had plans to got the the Kangaroo Zoo the night 0f Garrett's Birthday but, because Justin was sick we ended up going on Monday night! At first Garrett didn't want anything to do with the slides but after a while he was having a blast. He just ran from one slide to the next. After we left he kept saying Dad we go back. It was really cute!

Garrett had a great birthday! I can't believe my baby is 3!! He is such a sweet boy most of the time. We love you Garrett!!

Happy Happy Birthday!!!

Today Garrett is 3!! He is such a fun little boy to have around!! We have been working with him recently on his new age, if you ask him how old he is, without missing a beat he pipes up and says 4. Then as I say no you are not 4 he pipes up with oh yeah 3. I think he tells me 4 just to get a rise out of me, he know how old he is. Such a funny little boy. He defiantly keeps us on our toes!! We love you Garrett!!!Happy Birthday Garrett!!!

Discovery Gateway

During spring break I took Justin and Garrett to get there pictures taken. I told Justin that if he was good for his pictures that we would go and do something fun afterwards. Justin was an angel for pictures, Garrett not so much. We will be going back to see if we can get even one good picture of Garrett!! I guess I bribed the wrong kid!!! So after pictures I took the kids to the Discovery Gateway. They had a blast!!

Garrett's favorite part!! It was a little cold and a lot windy but the only thing he wanted to do was go outside to see the helicopter!

Both kids did like the water!

Justin's favorite part was the crane!! Although there were a lot of kids waiting for there turn so he didn't get to do it for very long!


Garrett was also having a blast with the balls!

We had a pretty good time. Justin can't wait to go back!!
