Preschool Program - 2010

Abby had her preschool program and it was so cute. She did a great job, and did her part just like we practiced. Good Job Abby!!

I'm amazed at how much she has learned and how smart a 3 year old can be. She has asked me numerous times when she gets to go back to school. One day she'll love summer break, but for now she loves school!

Singing....

The wonderful and patient Ms. Chris

Ms. Chris made these up for each kid. Amazing!

Off to New Zealand they go!

I'm proud to say that my Grandma and Grandpa Garner are now serving their 3rd mission.

They have been called to New Zealand where my Grandpa will be serving as a District President. They will be gone for 18 months. And maybe I'll win the lottery and be able to go visit! haha!

Although we miss them very very much, we love them and are so grateful for their willingness to serve the Lord. What blessings they bring to our our family and extended family.

A few pictures with them:

Oh, Stockton was sooo tired, angry, and miserable for these pictures.

The lovely and talented Allen grandkids. Sweet Kiley was also blessed this day. What a great day it was!!

My cute kids (more catch up)

Some cute photos and catch up:

It was a contest to see who could say cheese the biggest.

He's growing up...............

Abby's last time taking snack and story for the school year. She insisted that we take snickerdoodles!

Happy Mother's Day!

If you tell Stockton to say cheese he squints his eyes like this. So cute.

And this.....

And Abby! Can you please just look at the camera and smile!!! haha

Playing catch up......

These photos are more current......just playing catch up!

playing princess dress-up with cousin Haylee!

Abby has become quite the photographer. Stockton and I smiling for her.

Abby is also quite the poser. We struggle to get her to be "normal" for a picture.

Old pictures....

I found some old pictures on my camera.....I'm pretty sure I haven't posted them yet.

My Birthday back in April. Abby was sooo excited to blow out the candles.

Clear back forever ago (like February) when Stockton started walking along everything!

Stockton looks adorable in a hat! And this would be his first Jazz hat!

I've mentioned before how he is a blanky boy!! And that he is!! Loves, loves his blanky!

Before church photos: (these are like from February as well)

That's all for my waisted/catch up post......

Easter 2010

Now to Easter..........

Abby in her Easter dress. I kind of missed Stockton, and feel lucky to have this picture of Abby. Our Sunday mornings are very chaotic.....we have one goal in mind:

IN THE CAR BY 8:50 = CHURCH ON TIME!

On Saturday, the day before Easter we woke up to snow. Abby was very concerned about the branch that fell off the tree. It was a bummer deal with the snow, but we just altered the plans a little had still had some fun.

Colored Easter eggs.....the older she gets the better it is!!

Abby and Stockton egg.

Had an Easter egg hunt in the basement.

Sunday morning we enjoyed Easter baskets.

I must say I loved having Easter over General Conference weekend. Nothing like our dear Prophet and amazing leaders in Salt Lake to teach us and remind us of our Savior and his atoning sacrifice. Also I wish we had General Conference like every other month. It is a nice break!!!!

We went over and over with Abby about the real meaning of Easter. I must say I'm so grateful for amazing primary teachers who teach our little ones and help reinforce what we teach. Abby really does get it....Jesus died for us because he loves us.

Quick story (well 2 of them) :

The other day Abby was playing with Stockton's John Stockton bobble head. (are you with me.....a John Stockton bobble head) I said to Abby be careful and don't break John. She replied back to me "The Baptist?" Very funny....

Yesterday morning I had The View on, ya know the show on ABC.....well Abby was doing her thing while I was watching and she said to me, "do these girls ever take turns talking?" haha!

Nothing to do with Easter but had to post them.

Hope ya'll had a great Happy Easter!

Hockey Game

March 26-27

Through work Aaron scored us a quick getaway to Boise for a hockey game. It was my first time ever watching a hockey game in person. We watched the Idaho Steelheads play somebody, the Steelheads actually lost and it was a pretty dull game. Later we learned why it was so boring. The Steelheads are really good and already had a spot in the playoffs so they were just taking it easy and trying to prevent injury. Despite the game being a little slow and there was no fighting, which is the coolest part of a hockey game....so they say...it was still lots of fun. We sat in a box suite and ate some food and had a good time. The greatest thing about it was the game, hotel, and everything was all paid for! It was a quick trip but lots of fun. It was my first time leaving Stockton for the night, he did real good......probably better for my mom than for me!! Abby keeps asking me when we are going to leave again so she can go have a sleepover with Grandma and Grandpa!

Before the game we had a little bit of time so we walked around downtown and found the Bronco shop! I wanted everything in there!

Sorry for the lame pictures ....... when the kids aren't around I just don't think about taking pictures as much...
