A little bit of everything!!!

Garret is getting so big!!! He is so much fun!! This kind of became his spot on the couch, he would sit between me and zach Here he is in his carhart jacket, it keeps him so warm and makes him look just like a little man
Garret is now close to 10 months and I can't believe how fast it is going, sometimes I wish it would slow down but other times I am so excited to see what he is going to learn or do next!! He isn't quiet crawling yet it's more like an army move but mostly he just loves to walk around like this. Once he figured out he could walk around like this it was over, he thinks it's the best thing in the world!!


We also moved, yes from the outside this house looks pretty bad but inside it was quiet nice and we really liked living there!! We lived there for about a year and a half, the only problem we had was we were on a very busy 4 way stop and in the middle of the night trucks loved to treat it as a race way and it was very loud at 4 in the morning!! When it was just me and zach it didn't bother us much but then little Garret came around and i don't think he ever really got used to it, they would wake him up from time to time. So then a cute little farm house became available in out same ward and we just couldn't pass it up!! We love our ward and this little farm house is just right for us!! It is 3 bedrooms, with a bathtub (something I didn't have before a missed badly) it also has a big back yard and a fire pit. I love how quiet it is, there is a dairy farm right behind us so yes sometimes outside you get a nice smell but so far it has never come inside. This is us on moving day, it was pretty windy there was a storm moving in but thankfully we beat it!! I will post pictures of our new home soon!!




On my mom's spring break we went to the zoo, ever since I had Garret I have been so excited to take him with his cousin's places and the zoo was so much fun!! Garret actually really liked it and he LOVES his cousins so he would want his stroller right by their wagon so he could mumble to them. This is my mom, sister and her kids on the mary go round.




And here we are in front of it




Garret by the time we were about to leave we were just going to ride the train real quick CRASHED. He was having so much fun he wouldn't fall asleep in the stroller so my mom started holding him and it didn't take long, he was out. Only for a cat nap though he knew something was going on and he was missing it because he was only asleep for about 20 minutes.




After the zoo Garret and I went to my moms and colored easter eggs. He could not take his eyes off the egg in the coloring it was funny he watched every minute and when I pulled it out he wanted to hold it so bad but he was so good and let us just put it in his little basket




That saturday we went to my mom's for her easter egg hunt, my dad took all those pictures so when I get them I will post some!! It was fun, of course Garret didn't really get it but I sure had fun carrying him and finding the eggs!! Here he is with his dad and our basket that my parents gave us, it was fun of candy and fun things for Garret like bubbles and books, and can't forget the tooth brush now that we have teeth!! He has two on the bottom and the two on the top just came through thankfully!! Those where killing us!!!












For Sunday I found the cutest little church outfit at shopko and it wasn't very expensive either! Mostly because I waited till last minute but hey they still had his size. Here he is with his eggs we colored at grandma's.




I love this next picture because he has so many facial expresions!!! I think in this one he's thinking what is she doing!!!




At zach's mom's she had this cute little elmo easter basket, he loves elmo!!! And again thinking what are they doing!! After he opened it we had the anual easter egg hut there and it's a crazy one!! Zach acts like the eggs are full of money but hey a dollar bill is a dollar bill!!! His mom hides over 50 eggs and they make sure to write down where all of them are hidden due to other years not finding them all and days later still looking for them haha it's a fun tradition!!




This easter I am filled with such love for my savior for giving me such wonderful families!! The one I was born into, the one I married into and now my little family!! Garret brings such a wonderful spirit in our home and fills my heart with such love and joy I never thought was there!! I am so blessed!! I try to soak up every moment!!!
