Thank you children for helping me remember what is really important my family and my computer :) It's hard not to think of the bums that visited our home but checking the blog can sure make things brighter. Thanks Dad

The Garden

{part one}

It has finally warmed up enough to start planting some things in our garden. We planted some peas and Garrett loved helping. It has been a fun family project getting the garden ready and building the fence we just hope something will actually grow.

{part two}

We also planted carrots. We have heard carrots are really hard to grow, so we are keeping our fingers crossed. We had to make little signs to put up on the rows after they were planted because Garrett kept accidentally walking over them. He sure does love to help especially when it means getting dirty.

More planting to come...

Here is a picture daddy wanted.

Kayleigh had fun at the shower for Missie's sister.

Introducing

Oscar the Wascar
(the goldfish)

Garrett's first (and only) pet

Last Sunday in primary Garrett learned to be thankful for fish. He has a very creative Primary teacher and she always sends something fun home. Well this time she sent each of them home with their very own goldfish. (she really wanted them to be thankful for fish) We were all so very excited, especially Garrett. He's always wanted a pet.

Some fun things about
Garrett and Oscar the Wascar:

*His fish is always hungry
*He's sure fish like McDonalds
*His name took a really long time and was a hard decision
*Fish can swim really fast, too fast for him to catch
*Oscar the Wascar is too cold and Garrett is sure he would rather have warm water
*Garrett says good morning and good night to Oscar the Wascar every day
*His name is not Oscar it is Oscar the Wascar

Our Little boy...

We went home on thursday afternoon and have enjoyed getting to have grandma here for the whole thing! It has been a transition that is for sure, with me being sick and Jeff getting sick from me things are really fun around our place. Carson can't wait to meet everyone!
