Friday Fence Day

We, meaning the whole family, yes even Garrett, built a fence to enclosed our front patio. Garrett is Daddy 'lil helper!

Yeehaa!

This is a good close-up of our big boy!

One of Garrett's Best Day Ever

So I know I have already talked about Garrett's friend Ethan, but I'm going to talk about him again because we went to Ethan's Grandma Fay's house on Saturday for his 2nd birthday party. Now seriously this was the coolest party ever. There were tractor rides, a bounce house, tent maze, Easter egg hunt and a good ole' BBQ dinner. WOW, huh?

Garrett's fav part for sure was the Easter egg hunt, he was a egg bandit. He was all about collecting those eggs, he even filled up two baskets. Everyone was laughing at how into the game he was. I think that he just caught on to the fact there were goodies inside the eggs!

He's getting even better

Ok, so we are on to the next step of the lawn mowing training. This picture definitely worth a thousand words. Just take a look.

My Friend Ethan

My friend Ashleigh watches Garrett a few days a week for me so I can go into the office. She does a great job taking care of Mr. G. Her son Ethan is Garrett's buddy. Most of the time Ashleigh plays toy referee, but there are other times when the two are best buds. If Ethan is in time out, Garrett cries for him. Too cute! Sadly, our friends are moving to New York and we will miss them terribly! I'm sure that Garrett and Ethan will be pen pals! In this last picture Ethan is giving Garrett a "hug", although it looks like the recipient is not appreciating the friendly gesture:)

Four Years and Still Lovin' It

Aaron and I celebrated our four-year wedding anniversary on Feb. 22. We were in Reno for the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, so we got to have alot of fun. Dennis and Kandi met us up there and watched Garrett so we have a romantic evening. We went to dinner at Famous Murphys (wow, the food was amazing) then saw Bill Egnval, the comedian. We had so much fun. If was funny to us that while we were away from Garrett, all we seemed to talk about is how we missed him.

We are looking forward to what the next four years has in store for the Smiths. Hopefully more cute babies and lots of love:)

How dirty was he?

Yesterday Garrett got really dirty so I decided to give him a wash and during the drying cycle he popped out to say hello. He is a true boy, into everything including climbing into the dryer.
I think Garrett can officially say he has investigated everywhere in the house.

PILOT TO CO-PILOT

Its never to young to learn the chores that lay in your future. Today the art of mowing the lawn was taught. See how the pupil learns.

Hey there are all kinds of tricks you can teach them, Garrett likes this so much I figure that by the time he is old enough to mow the lawn himself he will have a fetish for it. I should have been a psychologist. HAHA
