Garret is 5!

Garret had his birthday yesterday. Its hard to believe that my little baby is now 5 and will be starting school in the fall. We stayed pretty low key. We had family over for lunch on Saturday and did a joint party for the boys since Andrews b-day is in 2 weeks, we didn't want to have people have to drive up here twice in a couple weeks. Garret seemed to have a bunch of fun with his cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents, even a great grandma and great aunt here. Andrew was not so thrilled, but he was starting to teethe again, and we woke him from his nap. It was definitely nice to see everyone and celebrate the boys birthdays at the same time. For Garrets first birthday I made him his own cake to rip into. I wanted to do that for Andrew also to see if he would go after it like he does everything else. I made each boy their own little cake, Brent had the idea of making the cakes into their initials. Garret got a G cake and Andrew got an A cake.(Garret decorating his cake with "doughnut sprinkles") (Everyone singing to the boys, Andrew was totally confused during this part of the day) (Andrew didn't know what to do about the cake and candle so Garret helped him out a bit) We only gave Garret a piece of his though so he wouldn't get sick. I had to try and help Andrew get at his cake. He was hesitant and when I finally smashed his hand in it he got upset and wanted off the table and was whining. So I guess Andrew ended up having about the same reaction to the first birthday cake that Garret did. It was still fun watching him deal with his first cake.(He was not having a very good time)

We are having a pretty good time here in Logan. We wish traffic wasn't so bad and that we would have some nicer days, but its good for now. Its a little better since its the summer now and there aren't as many students in town.

My sister Georgette watched Andrew for me while I took Garret to a Doctors appointment. She took him swimming. Here are a couple of pics that she took: (So cute I don't know what to do with him) (Looks like he is modeling the swim diapers for a print ad or something :P)

My dad came out for a golf tournament that his uncle puts on every year in Preston, ID so all the guys went to that and the girls hung out at McDonald's for lunch. Andrew was posing while Garret was playing: (I've got one almost the same as this one of Garret)

Our ward is pretty good. Its a transition ward because we have 4 apartment complexes in the boundaries. We have people moving in and out every week so its hard to know who people are. I was called to be the primary secretary back in March. It has gone pretty well so far and I am enjoying it. It is kinda hard to keep up with all the families moving in and out though. We do have a lot of kids in our primary (about 100) and half of them either don't come or don't come very often. It is fun though because it falls right in with stuff I like to do. I like to be in primary and I like to keep track of things and keep things organized (well things that aren't mine :P).

Brent is enjoying his job at a law clerk at the courts here in Logan and in Brigham City. He has to go to Brigham City for 6 months of the year. They switch off every 3 months and his first rotation there will be done in a couple of weeks.

We will be heading to California for the 4th of July weekend because my sister Danell is having a baby soon (she's due tomorrow) and she is planning to bless the baby on July 3. I can't wait to get out there and visit with my family and friends that I haven't seen in a while.

I will try and update more often now that I can put pics on my computer again. And of course Andrews birthday is in a couple weeks so there will be a new post about his first year and everything.
