Nest

We have a nest in our swing set and have had fun watching the baby birds hatch and grow and change!

2 hour delay

2 hour delay this morning! I jump in the shower and when I come out this is what I found - 3 girls outside in rainboots, jammies, jackets - it is 32 degrees and while playing on the snow/ice they act like it is 60 degrees. (Bryson is in the warm basement watching the BYU basketball game that he recorded from last night)

Gingerbread Houses

The Garner competition/tradition continues of gingerbread houses - this year Bryson and Kaitlyn separately chose a sports theme.

Mom helped Hailey with the graham cracker house but she did all the rest herself!

Alyssa did it all on her own with a lake for Dora the mermaid and then a house and a dog house.

Kaitlyn decided she wanted to do a bowling theme and made the tables with ketchup, mustard, and pizza and all. She had Kevin help her with the pins and lanes - they were a great team!

Bryson made a basketball arena with the score BYU 113 to Utah 111 with all the seats sold out. Grandma was a great help with assisting with the score board and crushing the jolly ranchers.

We loved having G&G Mumford here to be a part of this tradition with us!

Abraham Lincoln Museum

Memorial Day we met up with the Boyces in Springfield, Illinois and went to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum. It was absolutely impressive. The 2 movies were very entertaining for kids and adults!

Bryson, Jeremy, Liam, and Seth; Bryson got to bring Jeremy home for the week and Kaitlyn got to go to Katya's for the week!

Turkey Run

Last Saturday we had a great hiking trip at Turkey Run State Park. Missionaries G&G Mumford got to meet us there since it was their P-day. Our good friends the Greenwoods came too. We had a great time! We couldn't keep the girls out of the water and Hailey still asks about finding more snakes!
