Yeah! We found our camera! It was my fault...I had forgotten that I asked Zach to carry it in his bag when we went to the zoo a few weeks ago. Guess what? It was still there! Zach remembered, but I didn't!
So I can start putting pictures up!
We have all our cool season vegetable plants ready to go (almost...we are waiting for a few to start coming up). Brian is going to put a tomatoe, pea, green bean, and strawberry plants in upsidedown planters this year. I'm excited...I hope that everything turns out okay. I am so excited about our garden this year! Last year was "practice," so this year we mean business! I'll take pictures to keep everyone updated.

S.O.S.

I don't know what to do! I have just returned from another stressful very exausting shopping trip to the grocery store with a two year old and a 5 month old. I need suggestions! How to make going to the store enjoyable for a two year old and at the same time get what you need and get out in a timely manner? Spencer wants to be carried and that is impossible. And he cries and yells too. I am very frazzled by the end. Today I forgot to move the shopping cart from behind our car and I backed into it. No damage done, but I felt kind of silly. If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them!

This is the chore that never ends!

Two weeks...and counting! I have been spring cleaning for a little over two weeks! There is still so much more to do. I might be doing this for the whole rest of the year. I have to keep going back to rooms that I have finished because they need to be clean again.
Maybe when I get done I should throw a Spring Clean Party...hmmm I'll have to think about that one. I would have to clean up after the party too.

Wanted: CAMERA- Dead or Alive--Reward!!!

I am getting soo frustrated! I have been searching and searching for our camera and I can not find it. We had company over for dinner last week and we rushed to stash all the clutter...it went pretty much anywhere that was out of sight. (No one else does that right?!) So the point is we have been looking all over and it is nowhere. I'm sure I grabbed it and stuck it somewhere out of sight during the mad rush clean up...I can't remember where though. Little sleep and two kids are really reeking havoc on my mind.

Trip to Utah

We went in March so this is a very late posting. But, hey at least I got it up; right? While we were in St. George we went to Zion's National Park. It was soo much fun. It wasn't too crowded and we could drive around where in the summer the tour buses go.
Grandma and Grandpa Garvin you should appreciate this. He kept picking up leaves and blowing them.

Walking along the river took a long time because someone liked to stop and throw rocks about every 20 feet or so! I love this picture with Spencer sitting there with his diaper hanging out.

This was why I went to Utah. But for some reason my camera would not take the pictures I wanted of my old mission companion and her new husband! They were all blurry! So this one was the best I could do.
One of my other companions was there too, Sarantuya. She is getting married in May. It was so fun to see them both!
The Wedding was in St. George and the weather was beautiful!!

Cousins Are So Fun!

The first two pictures are of Kaden and my nephew Brayton. He is my sister Charla's little boy. They are about 5 months apart. Kaden kind of looks like Brayton did when we was 4 months old.

These two are second cousins! It is amazing how similar they look though. Bryce is my cousin Kate's son. He is two months younger then Spencer. They took to each other right away and had so much fun playing together. I wish we lived closer!

We had to fill all of our trunk space!

This is a picture of me with Spencer who didn't want to take a picture!

Snowmen

This is Spencer making his first snowmen with Daddy! (In 60 degree weather!) He enjoyed making them but he didn't want to go anywhere near them. I think anything that is not supposed to have a face but does freaks him out. Maybe the Jewish Rabbi snowman on the left made him nervous.

Lazy, lazy, lazy...

Sorry it has been a month since I have last blogged. We got really busy...I'm not sure with what, but I'm sure it was something important. ;)
I guess I will catch everyone up on all that has happened....hmm....okay not much has happened. We went to Utah last month, it was super fun. I got to hang with my sis and cousin and their kids. I LOVE family! When you are with them you begin to feel like all your weird quirks have a place.
I am turning into little Suzie Homemaker. I sewed my very first bean bag this week! That's right SEWED! Yes mom, I can actually sew! Yeah! And the good news is I don't hate it like I use to.
Well I am going to sign off. I am getting up early tomorrow morning to workout again! I will be glad when this workout everyday schedule is done. I am on week 8 of my program, I have four more weeks to go!! Yeah!
