Garrett's Blessing, and Some other stuff!

SO we have had such a busy couple of weeks! But lots of fun:)
These next few pictures are of Ben's escapade with the boys yesterday. I had to take some girls to a Stake Dance, and he decided to take the boys for a bike ride....or should I say Mitchell took Garrett for a ride. So funny! Ben hooked Mitchell's bike up to the bike trailer and he pulled Garrett. Mitchell was SOOOO proud of himself!

Those are some cute babies!



Yesterday I bought a a Dyson.... Need I say more? I am positively entertained and THRILLED!!

I am only 5'3" but I look about 7 feet tall! Thanks for the awesome photography Ben???

Mitchell and his normal spazness, Garrett in his Bumbo chair:)



Mitchell has totally discovered Bike rides, riding his scooter and just playing outside. I am loving this new stage!


I just thought this little church outfit was so cute!


Mitchell joined Ben outside in the rain and he was all dressed up in his rain gear!



All of the rest of the pictures are of Garrett's Special blessing day! We decided to get it done while my sister was in town. She also blessed her little Allie the day before! Garrett's day was positively perfect. The food was easy and the small guest list of Family was so nice to have around! Thank you all for coming!

This Picture is "Uncle Ben". Ben's Brother and Sister always said that they didn't want Ben to have his own kids because he would'nt play with their kids anymore.... but obviously that has not stopped him from being the same old "Uncle Ben"!


Garrett and Uncle Marshall and his wife Brittany, so sorry that I didn't get you in the picture Britt!


This is Stacey's little girl Allie! Oh she is so sweet, and I miss her so much! Can't wait till Christmas!


My Heidi and I! She is so beautiful!


Almost all of the little girlies that were there. Oh cute cousins!


Have I ever mentioned that we call Garrett, little Gary! So this picture fits him so well, I think he looks like a little old man!


From left to right Grandma Patty, Uncle Marshall, Aunt Trish w/ Garrett, Aunt Brittany, and Morgan!


Grandma Patty with Allie, can you see the complete joy in her eyes!


Tyler and Trish's girls, with Allie. Addison is holding Allie, Morgan is behind and Emma is next to her holding Garrett.....than there is my cooperative 3 year old boy! He is SUCH a booger!


And Finally, Look at that beautiful family! HAHAHA! Those boys are perfect!

Catch up AGAIN!!

This is Mitchell on his 3rd Birthday! He looks so big- We will be taking some much better pictures soon!


OH NOOOOO! My Ben bought a little motorcycle for the boys:) Of course they need to grow into it! But it has been so fun to ride, its just my size!





Garrett is getting so big! He will be 4 months this Friday! He is laughing and smiling (obviously) and having so much fun! His latest thing is to suck his fist and suck on his lips and he makes a smacking noise than blows bubbles out of his mouth! He is so fun and SO different than Mitchell! Everyone keeps saying how much they look alike, and they do in some pictures by comparison but in others they are certainly 2 different boys!



Yesterday we tried to go for a little hike/walk and as you can see- the boys were ECSTATIC!


Every morning when I go in to get Garrett out of bed, he has scooted himself to this very corner! Its so funny, he greats me with a smile and a poopy diaper after sleeping for 12 hours! It never fails! I did not know that I could love 2 boys so much!!!


We went boating with my Mom, Rick and Grandma Sally and Garrett was so good, and so was everyone else! The next six pics were of that fun trip!
There is a baby in there somewhere!


Tube-n!


There is that fist!


All the boys! Garrett, Mitchell and Reese!


Mamma and Garrett


OH that face!


I take the boys for a bike ride about 3 times a week these days! It is SUCH good excercise! Mitchell weighs 31lbs, Garrett I think he weighs about 12lbs and the carrier is at least 15lbs! WOOHOO!!!


OK so I have been so busy lately with fun things and ....well just busy! Ben is doing better and has mostly recovered from the broken hand! He is working a ton and is not playing as much as he would like! I am doing good, these boys keep me SOOO busy! But I am doing Weight Watchers and am proud to announce as of today I have lost 12.7 lbs! I am still going pretty strong and I would like to loose about 17 more! It's coming slowing but surely! I should probably try to loose like 5 to 10 lbs beyond that so that I can gain it during the holidays!!! Mitchell just turned 3 and well, he is 3! Opinionated, bossy, funny, smart, too smart, annoying (yes, I said it!), potty trained and I could go on and on! He is a sweet boy and I would'nt trade him....depending on the day! Garrett is hard to get frustrated with because of how little he is. So I am sure his time will come:) He is growing healthy and we will see how big he really is on Friday at his 4 month! Thats really it! I have to start school shopping for Mitchell, he starts pre-school in September! AAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
