My Helper

Garrett wanted to help me take the Laundry off the clothes line.  If was so cute watching him trying to reach the clothes pins!

 On a side note: Whenever we go out of town whether we go to Provo, Salt Lake or even to Grandmas house the minute we drive back into town Garrett always seems to notice.  He gets pretty excited and will say look mom we are back in "our world".  I love that he calls it our world, I have tried to explain to him that it is our town but he prefers our world. 

A DAY OUT WITH THOMAS

We took Justin to a day out with Thomas a few years ago but Garrett has never been.  He wanted to go last year so bad (we made the mistake of driving by.)  So I thought it would be fun for him this year so I collected the water bill coupons from my neighbors and we went.  The kids had fun but I think we have had our fill of the Heber Valley Rail Road for a very long time! 

Justin had just managed to get a hole in one!

Butterflies

Justin got a butterfly habitat for his birthday.  We ordered the caterpillars through the mail.  When they came there were tiny, it didn't take them long to grow and make cocoons.  We transferred them to the cage and within a week they were starting to come out of their cocoons.  Both boys loved watching them.  When they were caterpillars Garrett would run to look at them and them come back and say Mom you have got to come see the Caterpillar they are getting huge!  When they turned into butterflies we kept them for about a week because of the Weather and let them go the morning of Mothers Day! 

Happy Birthday Garrett!

Garrett's Birthday was on the same day as Justin's Baptism so we decided celebrate a little early and have Cake and Ice Cream the night before at my parents house!  He even got to open his gifts from his Grandparents after he blew out the candles on this cute Lego cake my mom made him!

Before we left to go to the Baptism we let Garrett open his gifts.  For weeks the only thing he told me he wanted for his Birthday was Diego's rescue pack.  I was not going to spent $20 on a rescue pack but a week or so before his birthday I found one on clearance for $4.  I as so excited and on the morning of his Birthday it was so worth it.  He loved it.  He really could have cared less about any of his other gifts.  He did love the others but the rescue pack was the best!

After the baptism and Luncheon Grandma and Grandpa Staley went with us to Chuck E Cheese.  He loved it!

Happy Birthday Little Buddy!

ISN'T IT GREAT TO BE EIGHT!

Well it has happened my little boy is now eight years old and officially baptized.  When he was born I thought this day was such a long time in the future.  Time sure does fly!  Justin was so excited, we had all of our families there to show there love an support!  Justin was baptized and confirmed by his dad who did a great job!  After we had a luncheon for family and friends!  It was such a great day!

I am so greatful to have the gospel in my life.  I am so proud of Justin for his decision to be baptized he is such a good kid!  We love you!

Easter

The kids had a great time dying the Easter Eggs this year!  I think that dying the eggs and finding the eggs are the best part of Easter for both of them. 

Garrett still needed a little help putting the eggs in the cups or the eggs ended up broken!

Justin did a great job and was super creative with each and every egg!

Some of the end results!

Easter Morning Garrett woke up at his usual time of 6:30 and then we waited for Justin to roll out of bed at 7:30 I thought that Justin would be up super early also but he wasn't.  They didn't really care what the Easter Bunny had brought for them. They just wanted to get on with the hunt!

The Easter Bunny brought both boys a new Webkinz and a new book!  They were both pretty excited to log their Webkinz into the computer and start playing but that of coarse was after each and every Easter Egg the the Bunny had hid was found. 

Later in the Day my family came over and we had a great Easter Dinner and my mom brought a ton of eggs with money in them for the grand kids to find. 

All of the grand kids after the hunt minus Makenzie because of the cold weather!

 Happy Easter!
