So much fun with TWO!

Chet LOVES playing with his play-doh that Nana got him! He even chose to play with the play-doh over playing outside! That tells you how much he loves it! Here, Chet is posing with his "rainbow" that he made!


Our cutie pa-tutie! 11 days old!!

Fun summer days!

Daddy is doing great on putting Chet's play yard together! Chet can climb up the climbing wall all by himself! He is quite the climber!

Wheee!!! swings!

Having fun playing!

Upside down! And I wonder why Chet's so crazy! ;)

Chet and daddy got matching bola ties...they looked so cute on Sunday!

Mommy with her buddies!

Chet was just given this gun, and he LOVES it!! You can never have enough play guns!

Chet loves his gun so much that the next day when daddy and Uncle Ryan went up into the woods he had to bring it with him! You just never know when you might need your gun!

Special visits!

We have been loving all the special visits from everyone!! Chet absolutely loves all of the extra attention! And Zane as always loves to be cuddled! ;)

We are sooooooo happy to share with you that Zane Cody Garrett is here! (this is probably old news to most of you, but we will post anyway!) Zane was born at 3:50 am on Friday, July 11th! He weighed 7 lbs 5 oz. and was 19 inches long! We are all in love with him, and Chet just adores his little brother, giving him lots of kisses and hugs! We are all doing wonderful and sure do appreciate all of the thoughts and visits, and emails! Each one means so much to us!

Chet's play yard!!

Chet's play yard was delivered today, and it is SO exciting!! Poor daddy though has to put it all together, but we sure do love him for doing it! Chet (and mommy!) are so excited and cannot wait to play on the swings, and slides! How fun!! You will have to come over and play with us when it is done!

Cooking in the kitchen!

My best little helper! Chet LOVES to help me in the kitchen, it is really cute! Yesterday, he helped me bake some pies! Yummmm! And he looked so cute wearing his cowboy apron!

To the Lake!

We loved going up to Green Peter lake this week! It was SO hot, and was a nice way to cool down! The kids LOVED seeing Uncle Ryan and Will do "tricks" and go "way up high" as Chet said! When Ryan and Will would do a jump, or trick, Zoe would say "more, more!" It was really cute!

Zoe!!

July 4th Weekend!

We had such a fun July 4th! We enjoyed so much having Tony, Martha, Josh and Zach over for the morning, and then we all headed over to the Weld's pond for a field potluck! It was sooo much fun, and as always, so nice to be with the friends! What a wonderful way to spend the 4th!

Having fun playing with cousin Josh on daddy's Ranger!

Taking a break for juice boxes!

Sharing a good laugh! These two are so cute together and always have so much fun together!

Going on a ride!! Wheee!

Cousin Zach! Zach is the happiest and contented baby ever, and what a cutie!!

Over at the Weld's pond now....Chet layed here for the longest time, with the fishing net in the water, waiting patiently for a fish to swim in it! It was really cute! What a good fisherman!

Uncle Ryan and Chet! Good goofy buddies!

Randy and Marlene brought their horses and carriage to the potluck to give rides to everyone! Everybody loved it, especially the kids!

Being goofy with Uncle Ryan!!

Shelley, Martha and Zach!

Jessica and I with our baby bumps!

Chet and daddy with their catch (and release!) from the pond! Chet thought this was so fun, and had fun playing the fish with daddy!

On our way to watch the fireworks in Independence with Jessica's family and Uncle B and Nicole!

Rodeo Night! Yee-haw!!

Daddy, mommy and Chet went to the Eugene rodeo on Saturday! It was sooo fun!! Chet loved it, as so did daddy and mommy! Ben & Mindy, Elysse, and the Anderson's, and some others were also there which made it extra special and fun!

Cheese! Waiting for the rodeo to start!

Chet LOVED the motorcycle tricks! Chet kept on saying, "look mom! no hands!" Think he'll get some ideas now?! One of the guys doing stunts was Tony & Martha's neighbors! They were amazing!

Taking it easy on mommy's built in pillow!!

Uncle Ben and Chet!
