Newport Beach

Make a Smilebox slideshow

Bo & Becky invited us to go to Newport Beach with them in September. WE HAD A BLAST! We chilled at the beach, played at Disneyland, and ate great food. What could be better!

Jake playing BBall

I have had more fun watching Jake play basketball than any other sport!

He is so much like his Dad. It is fun to watch him really get the game. He is such an aggressive player.

What a stud!

Back to School 2009!

This is Aubrey's first day at Going Places Preschool with Mrs. Stacey.

She was so excited.

Brooks first day at American Legacy Academy. He is going half Kindergarten/ half pre-school. He loves Mrs. Burrell! He is such a cutie! I feel really bad because I don't have a picture of Jake's first day of 2nd grade with Mrs. Gorrell.

Ashley 2 weeks

Baby Ashley at 2 weeks!

I can't tell you how much I love this little girl.  She is perfect and we adore her.

Me and my girls.  I hate this picture of me (I hate all pictures of me), but my girls look beautiful.

The Princess and the Pea!

Baby Ashley!

Ryan, Ashley and me.

Ashley Gardner

May 5th, 2009

7lb 1oz 18 inches long

Me before going into the hospital.

Me after about 4 hours at the hospital.

She is a perfect baby!  The labor was easy and lasted about 3 1/2 hours.  She came out crying and very healthy.  The nurse gave her a 10 on the Apgar.  She said they never give out 10's, but she is that healthy.  We are so happy she is here.  

Fertilizer

On Wednesday I was vacuuming out my van while Aubrey was coloring on the concrete with chalk.  I would sporadically check on her.  Well, I went out to check on her and she had taken her panties and shorts off.  I said "Aubrey where are your pants?"  She energetically replied "I POOPED on the grass."  She was proud as punch!  While Snoop is salivating.  So I run to the garage to get a shovel and I come back and Aubrey has a pair of toy binoculars and she is looking at her enormous log of poo on my grass saying "Ewe Gross!"  I was totally annoyed, but at the same time it is a bit comical.  What is she raised in a barn?  I am sure I will have many more stories to tell about this sweet little thing.  

Spring Break 2009/ Sand Dunes pt. 2

Ryan and his Razor and the boys and theirs.  

Brooks is ready to ride!

What a cutie!

Ryan jumping his razor.

Daniel jumping his bike.

Some moms put cute bows in there girls hair, but oh no my girl gets an aqua Neff hat.  She looked like a smurf.  I couldn't stop laughing.  She looked to cute in the hat (she put it on herself.)  She found this toy 4 wheeler and didn't ever want to get off.  It was so funny!  

Daniel pretending to ride. Ha! Ha!

Ryan and Aubrey.

Spring Break 2009/ Sand Dunes

What a hunk!  We decided to go to the Sand Dunes for Spring Break!  It was a lot of fun.  I spent most of my time in the trailer, but I wasn't about to go into labor at the Sand Dunes. 

Daniel came with us.  Sweet outfit Loyd!

The boys where in heaven with there new mini-razor.  All the kids wanted to ride it.  

Aubrey is giving me her sad face because she wants to go with her Dad.

Another picture of the boys cruisin' around.

Jake was dying to get this on camera.

I think Aubrey would have been happy to just color all weekend.  She LOVES to color.

The boys being silly.

The boys being silly and Aubrey scuzzing them out! LOL!

Aubrey's all ready to go for a night ride with Dad and the boys!

Easter Sunday

Well here I am in all my glory 36 weeks pregnant!  At least Aubrey looks cute.

Here's Aubrey in the dress I made her for Easter.  Doesn't she look cute!  The gloves kill me.  

My little Angels, until we get to sacrament meeting.  Look how Aubrey holds her hands with her gloves on. LOL!

After church we went to Ryan's parents for dinner.  I didn't bring my camera so I don't have any pictures, but we had a great time.  The food was amazing as usual.  The kids had there usual handstand contests and a sweet dance party.  It was so funny!

Easter 2009

I think it's safe to say that Aubrey liked the Dog sleeping bag the Easter bunny brought her.   
Brooks hunting for eggs.  I hid some eggs while they slept.  Brooks cared more about the eggs than the candy.  Weird!

The boys still hunting for eggs.

The kids on there sleeping bags with their Easter baskets.  Not the greatest picture, but the cutest kids!

What a cheesier!  She loved the stuffed bear.  I could just eat her she is so dang cute.  

I finally got Jake to smile for me.  

Brooks LOVED what the Easter Bunny brought this year.

I think these are the cutest sleeping bags ever.  The Easter Bunny really outdid himself this year.
