Garrett's First Trip to the Dentist

Garrett had his first visit with the dentist yesterday. He did pretty good. He thought he would do a lot worse so I went prepared with a little bribery. Thank goodness I did. I had to use it. Justin went first and we let Garrett watch him and then it was Garrett's turn. He climbed up into the chair everything was fine until she laid the chair back and asked him to slide his head up onto the chairs pillow. He started to cry. So I pulled out the little gun I had bought him and opened it. Everything was not alright in the world for him but he tolerated it. I didn't even think he would let them touch him, so I was pretty proud of him. (I took some picture of Justin but I was so busy trying to keep Garrett happy that I forgot to take pictures of him.

Neither Justin or Garrett had any Cavities!! Hurray!!

RELAXING

We spent this past weekend in the mountains near Strawberry Reservoir. We had a great time! Because of my recent surgery it was the most relaxing camping trip I think that I have ever been on. My dear sweet neighbors and my sweet husband did all of the work and when I say all of the work I mean all of the work. The only thing they let me do was dry the dishes one morning. I felt really bad that they went to so much work so that I could rest but we did have a great time!

There was a little stream right in our camping area that the kids decided to play in on Saturday afternoon, I did step my feet in and that was all I could tolerate of the ice cold water. However the kids didn't seem to care they played in it for a few hours. There was part of a dam already there so Mike helped the kids to make it bigger and better. Sometimes I wonder who is the bigger kid? Some of us went for a 4-wheeler ride, and on Saturday night we all went to Strawberry for some fishing and to catch some crawdads.

The dirt was so fine this is what the kids looked like after playing in it for just a little while!

The water was so cold that Garrett wanted to play in it but he couldn't take the cold he would put his feet in it and cry.

All the kids playing in the water!


Garrett doing one of his favorite things! Playing in the dirt. I think his motto is "The dirtier the better!"

Little Buckaroo Rodeo

Garrett had such a good time at the Little Buckaroo Rodeo this year at the Summit County Fair. He got to do all of his favorite things while we were at the fair this year. He loved riding the 4-wheeler with Mike while they raked around the barrels and poles.

He got to ride a sheep! I don't know if he loved it but he didn't cry for very long after he fell off!
He got to ride his stick horse around the barrels. His horse must have been out of control because instead of riding around the barrels his stick horse took off past the barrels clear to the other end of the arena!



By the time Mike caught up to him to get him to come back it must have embarrassed him because he started to cry.

Just a cute picture of Garrett and Jonathon after they had run the stick horse barrels!
