Gardner Family: July 2008

WATCH OUT BULLDOZER COMING THROUGH!! HE IS ON A MISSION TO SOMEWHERE WOULDN'T YOU THINK

I MUST SAY HE IS THE CUTEST KID IN THE WORLD...ALONG WITH OUR OTHER TWO!

AH!! THE TWO LOVEBIRDS AT THE BALLGAME. EXACTLY WHERE WE LOVE TO BE!

KELLY, MEGAN AND ISAAC...SOON TO BE THE NEWEST MEMBER OF THE GARDNER CLAN! CONGRATULATIONS TO KELLY AND ISAAC WHO WILL BE GETTING HITCHED IN AUGUST!

NOT THE BEST PICTURE EVER BUT THE ONLY ONE I COULD GET OF THE TWO GRUMPY BOYS. ETHAN IS TRYING TO ACT LIKE HE WANTS TO SMILE EVEN THOUGH HE WAS REALLY MAD AT ME FOR MAKING HIM TAKE THE PICTURE! TOO BAD...I'M THE MOM WHAT I SAY GOES!

KILLER SHADES CHICKA!

SO AFTER OUR DELICIOUS BARBEQUE WE ALL HAD TICKETS TO GO TO THE SKYSOX BASEBALL GAME AND FIREWORKS SHOW. THEY ARE ACTUALLY SITTING ON A BASEBALL WHICH I WISH SHOWED UP BETTER BUT STILL IT'S A DANG CUTE PICTURE OF THE THREE OF THEM ALL DRESSED UP FOR THE 4TH. WE HAD A BLAST AND THE KIDS REALLY ENJOYED THE FIREWORKS AT THE END OF THE GAME.

SINCE BECKETT WAS NOT INTERESTED IN EITHER THE SLIP AND SLIDE OR THE POOL HE FOUND THE NEXT BEST THING WHICH KEPT HIM BUSY FOR HOURS. HE REFUSED TO WEAR HIS HAT AND ACTUALLY GOT SUNBURNED A BIT ON HIS HEAD BECAUSE HE STOOD THERE SO LONG AND PLAYED WITH THE FOUNTAIN. AT LEAST HE KEPT HIMSELF OCCUPIED

WE DID NOT THINK HE WOULD ACTUALLY GIVE EMMA HUGS WHEN WE ASKED BUT HE WAS MORE THAN WILLING...BUT AS THE DAY WENT ON HE CONTINUED TO GIVE HUGS WHICH EMMA GREW OUT OF REAL QUICK...WE DID NOT HAVE A PICTURE TO SHOW THAT AS HE GAVE HER HUGS HE WOULD PULL HER BACKWARDS AND ONTO THE GROUND. JUST DOESEN'T KNOW HIS OWN STRENGTH YET! BUT IT WAS THE CUTEST THING TO WATCH! :0)

STILL A LITTLE TOO COLD FOR ME

CHUNKY MONKEY

In order to keep the kids busy Grandma and Grandpa bought a slip and slide and a mini frog pool for the littler kids. Needless to say the slip and slide got used the most!
