Brady plays flag football

Brady played organized ball for his first time. He wanted to play soccer, but we forgot to register him in time so he played this instead. He was still really excited to play. He had an awesome coach.We played in cold, wind, sun, and rain. We also got treats.


When they started they were rough but by the end of the season they had really improved.

And, he got a great medal.

Casey's 3rd Birthday

Casey just turned three. After the mishap early on his birthday with his cake, I turned it over and this was the finished result. But, the next day it looked almost the same because he ate all the frosting off.
He had a great time. We went to IHOP, his favorite restaurant. He loved cake and BYU football ice cream.
He loves trains. He got his Geotrax last birthday so he got new pieces this year.

The girls first BYU game

This year we bought an extra season with Chris. They had an extra ticket for three games and so do we. we decided it was time to take the girls. they had fun. Notice the clothing attire in each picture. Abby gets to go back to the last home game. Maybe she will experience the cold weather BYU football can have.

First Day of School

School started for the girls on August 18th. They always have a school theme for the year and "Band of Brothers" is this years.











The principal had army people lined up to welcome the kids and even had an army jeep there. Fun for the kids.











Abby is in the 5th Grade. And, her teacher is in our ward.












Grace is in 3rd Grade.













Brady started Kindergarten a week later.













Casey misses them all and is bored every morning.

Final summer trip to Vegas

We went to visit mom and dad the week before school started. This was a more laid back trip the kids lived in my moms pool or my uncle's pool.We also love to go to the park.I love chilling at my moms and dads house.

Justin and Becca's

While we were up at the reunion we decided to stay a few days more and went to my brother Justin's families house. It was so fun. The kids went to movies, played, played in the water, and had some fun time together. Thanks for the great time!

Garner Reunion

You may have seen some of this before but this is my version. So we have this reunion every summer with Robb's folks and all the brothers, sisters, and their families. This year Robb and I were in charge. We had our version of the Olympics.
We started with a great family spiritual experience to the temple. I didn't have many pictures of this.
Next, we started our Olympics with a real Olympic torch relay to light our cauldron.We had each family create their own family flag with a real flag from the family mission(The flag was related to the area each child served their missions, mom and dad had a Korean flag for Stacy) in the middle.

We played a lot of fun games that were related to real Olympic games (horse racing, diving, etc.)

Then on the last night we had an amazing meal prepared by everyone which included a dish from each mission everyone that attended went to. It was delicious. I loved it all.After the meal, we had a great talent show with a special guest appearance. If you want to see photos we may have to negotiate.The highlight of the whole weekend was the homemade slip and slide. It was so fun and actually almost got everyone on it at some time.
