Where did all may time go? My little guy has been totally into Star Wars lately. So of course thats what he wanted for his birthday. He was so excited about it. Pretty sad when my 1 year old can sing the tune of Star Wars already. Happy 6th Ben!

A Wonderful Holiday

Every year I try to get a family picture by our Christmas tree. This year proved to be a little difficult so I'll take what I can get. We had a great holiday this year, staying home, playing games, and having a fun, relaxing time. It just goes by too quickly.

Having some fun. . .

My parents came down in December to deliver Christmas gifts. My kids love it when they come. This time we went to the Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat at The Mirage. It was pretty cool and the kids had a great time.





What better way to spend the holidays than to have some fun with family!

Piano Recital

Kierstyn started taking piano this year. In December, she had a piano recital. She played a duet with her dad and both did a great job. She has another one coming up in May.

End of Soccer Season

Ben finished up his soccer season. He is becoming quite the little athlete. In fact his coach called him the motor of the team! Looking forward to many great games ahead.

Gardner Reunion

Okay, I know its been quite a while and honestly its just hard keeping up. So I'll try to catch up.

Back in November my family had a very memorable reunion. I have to say my family is really unique in that they love getting together and doing some crazy things together. And its nice that we have 2 wonderful party planners (my sisters)that set it all up. This year we did an Academy Award Night including our own improv versions of movie scenes. Come on how many families are willing to do that.



We also went roller skating, which was a blast except for one broken bone.


Other things we did that I don't have pictured was a race night with pine wood derby cars. Kierstyn and I were on the winning team thanks to Andy! We also had a temple day and the big finale a Christmas party just like we use to. Lots of fun!!!

Little Dev

I really admire those who are talented with photography. Unfortunately, I am not one of those people. I did get a few fun pictures of Devri with a little cake and balloons for her birthday. She was such a stinker and didn't want to cooperate. Still I'll keep her she's such a cutie!

okay, so I'm in the catch up mode as I took a 2 month break through the holidays. Where does the time go- but blogging was not a high priority so here are pictures from November. Grandma & Grandpa Chappell were able to come down and saw a soccer game and were here for Devri's birthday.



Bentley has really enjoyed playing soccer this year and has become a very good player. His coach called him the motor of the team because Bentley always seems to have alot of energy.



Here's Blake, Jason, and their Dad enjoying a soccer game. It wasn't the best game to watch (one of only 2 loses for the season) but Bentley still played well.



Bentley loves to go to Yogurtland and when he scores a goal we take him. Today we took him because Grandma & Grandpa were here.



Kierstyn loves it too, and yes that is Fruity Pebbles on her yogurt.



The kids really love it when Grandma & Grandpa come!
