Demolition Derby.

Saturday night we went to the West Jordan demolition derby. Jiffy Lube was a sponsor and also had a car in the event. They ended up doing pretty well in the first event and made it to the main event at the end. Justin painted the car and it turned out really good--nice and shiny!

Colton and Garrett had a great time watching all of the cars smash into each other. Garrett's favorite part was the raspberry shaved ice that we got--he wasn't so happy when it was all gone.

Garrett is on the move!

Garrett has been taking a few steps now and then--but just yesterday started taking alot more and doesn't seem to have alot of fear. He is doing really pretty good--being pretty steady. We think in the next week or so he will be walking full time on his own. YIPEE!!!! Good job Garrett!!!

The packing continues...

They just came and picked up one VERY full sam today and dropped off another for us to fill up.
Packing is going well and we are in really great shape! The basement and back garage are empty.

We went and picked out our new kitchen appliances on Saturday which was REALLY exciting! So far things are going really smoothly. One week to go!!!!!

The packing begins!!!!

If all goes as planned we will be moving 2 weeks from today! So we have ALOT of packing ahead of us but we are all really excited to move to the new house! I'm sure the babies will be alot of help these next few weeks! We hope that the closing on both houses goes smoothly!!!!

Happy Father's Day!

We went over to Justin's parents for a Father's Day BBQ. We had a really great time! Garrett LOVED the chocolate chip brownies! It was a TREAT cleaning all of that chocolate off his little face and hands.

Buchanan Family Reunion

Garrett's allergies were REALLY bothering him today--he took some medicine and took a pretty good nap. He missed out on the swimming!

Saturday we drove to Manti for the Buchanan Family reunion. They had it at my grandma's house this year. She has a big back yard that the kids had such a good time playing in. They had a few pools set up and a slip and slide--they had a great time!

Poor Colton got sun burned because I didn't get the sunscreen on him that great---and he has about 25 mosquito bites all over him. He was the only one who got more than about 3 bites--he must have some good tasting blood.

Garrett and the wipes.

Garrett found the box of wipes today---luckily he only pulled about 20 out before I caught him. When I told him "Garrett....NO NOOOOO" he started picking them up off the floor and putting them on top of the box.

Field Trip to the Zoo.

Today four 2ND grade classes from Colton's school went on a field trip to Hogle Zoo. We left about 9am and stayed til 1pm. Each parent was only in charge of 3 kids--which made it easy to keep track of them. Our group joined up with another group--it was alot of fun. The kids had a great time--the weather turned out to be really nice---it wasn't too hot this year. Here are a few pictures of the kids.

When it gets too quiet.....

Garrett is usually up to something. Today we were watching TV and I noticed Garrett was gone and it was quiet---which is never good. We found him in the bathroom having fun with the Charmin. Luckily there wasn't a full roll on the holder.

Lagoon!

Today was "Lagoon Day" for Jiffy Lube. We were lucky this year--it wasn't too hot, and it didn't rain. It turned out to be a really nice day. Garrett didn't seem to really like any of the rides that he went on. I think next year he will like it a lot better.

Colton had a really great time! He was tall enough this year to ride some of the rides he wasn't able to last year--so that was good. He was also a good sport to take Garrett on a few of the kiddie rides--even though he was way too big for them. He is a good big brother!


Garrett on the train ride...he didn't care for the loud horn!!

Baby Blake!

Big Congrats to my friend Andrea on the new little addition! Baby Blake was born June 3rd at 1:49 am weighing in at 7 pds. 9 oz. and 20 inches long. He looks just adorable with all of his cute dark hair and chubby, chubby cheeks!!!!

Everyone is doing well and should be going home today. I sooo wish we lived a little closer!!


Isn't that the cutest little face??? Soooo sleepy!
Don't you LOVE the look on Tyler's face when she saw her little brother for the first time? SO CUTE!!!!!

Garrett doesn't share well!!!

We are having some drama this morning--Garrett wanted to play with the Mater ride on toy and Kayden tried to push one of the buttons and Garrett FREAKED out..(see picture) So I put the toy in "time out" Garrett did NOT like that and went chasing me--when I picked him up he smacked me in the face??? So now Garrett is spending some time in his crib in "time out". Should be a GREAT day!!! ha ha

Luckily Kayden is such a good sport and so easy going! If Garrett takes his toy he just finds another one.
