Fallen off the wagon!

 Gavin with Max! (Elder White's dog) He loves all the attention that he can get. Even if it is hair pulling from babies. Such a good dog!

 This is kind of a really disturbing picture... sorry. But Carter and Jason love rock chuck hunting. This is Carter with his new 22 single shot shotgun!

 Jason was raking up all the dead grass on the lawn, Gavin HAD to ride with him the whole time. If you took him off... all #@!! broke loose! Jason is such a great dad.

Gavin is so funny lately... He will go and get in Carter's dresser and pull out a shirt (usually this bright yellow one) and sit for hours trying to figure out how to put it on. After he gives up, I help him out. He is such a cute stinker! Thanks for sharing your clothes Carter!

Im an Idiot!

Okay everyone.... I blew it. I was in the process of copying and pasting all of your emails that wanted to follow the blog... I got them all on the page, and went in and deleted all of the comments. and my computer SHUT DOWN!! Urg. So once again, I am so sorry. But if anyone would like to Follow, I will  try and do the smart thing.... and not delete them before i am completely finish.
I will probably leave it open for another week or so.

GOING PRIVATE!!!!!!

I just watched a video on Youtube,  It rocked me too the core, but what else should I expect, with the world becoming what it is headed to... Nothing but disgust and heart ache. It said that if there is any picture down loaded on the internet, that it can be found... down to the exact room it was taken in your house.
I cherish my kids and my family more than anything, and I only want those that I know, and are interested in following our crazy life, to be interested. If you still want to follow, you can leave a comment on here, or an email. Or, send me your email on my facebook account in the messages so no one knows who/what it is... either way, I will enter all of you that are interested! I will give everyone till this coming Monday or Tuesday.
Hope you all understand.

Carter.... You have been one of the greatest joys in our lives. Your laugh is music to our ears, Your smile is one of the best part of our days. And You say I LOVE YOU MOM, at the times when I need it the most. You are so in tune with our families emotions, and feelings. You were truly Heaven sent. You are so energetic, you take life by the horns...and say BRING IT ON! You are so friendly to everyone. And want to meet everyone and introduce yourself as "Carter B. Garrett." You remind me sooooo so much of my Grandpa Tom Smith. Your "Great" Grandpa. You were born long after his Leaving. But I have many great stories to tell you about him!!!!! You and him are so much alike. You meet people, and never ever forget their name, or their last conversation that they had with you. You make friends so easily. most of your friends are mom and dads age... and they love you almost just as much as mom and dad do.. You Love to snuggle with the Mamma, and fight/wrestle with the dad. You LOVE your little brother more than words can tell. You are honestly what I want to become when I grow up. So sincere. Sooooooo...... CARTER! WE love you BEEF CAKE.

February 26th 2011

Fun facts.

Outside My Window...is the signs of spring. And my little Carter riding back and forth on the sidewalk on his new bike, He had his little "WORK GLOVES" on and helping Jason unload wood from the back of the truck.


I am Wearing...My favorite pajama pants, and sweatshirt.

I am so Grateful...The sounds of my kids talking and laughing, Carter reviewing the sounds that animals make to my little Gavin. My husband having pillow fights with the two boys... They adore him!

I am Thinking...What on earth am I going to do for my little family to make Valentines Day memorable.

I am Creating...New craft ideas.

I am Missing...FRIENDS... I love my close friends. We ALL went out to dinner the other day, and I miss all those bonds we have.

1 Thing I Love About My Job Right Now...I love helping the little ones learn new things. Discover new things. But most of all, I love the fact that it let's me stay home with my little men. I Love nothing more than to see EVERYTHING they experience.

I am Hoping and Praying For...My Brother on his mission, that he stays safe, and knows that we love, and pray for him EVERYDAY. And that my boys grow to be loving and respectful young men!

From the Kitchen...Comes the smell of homemade breadsticks that I made for our family Valentines Day dinner today...

A Few of my Favorite Things...My Husband texting me, and telling me that he loves me, without any reason at all. My Babies Loves. Carter wanting me to be apart of EVERYTHING that he does. My Family, and inlaws being so supportive of all we do. My bulldog. Fountain Diet mt dew. Camp fires. Grilled cheese sandwiches, and tomato soup. Making wood crafts. Having friends come over. Serving. A clean house, and being on top of the laundry pile!

My Love...My family... Dogs and all.

Today..I enjoyed staying home with my family, making breadsticks for our dinner, and heading out to feed the horses. I love doing all of these, BECAUSE I AM WITH MY FAMILY!

My hero...The men in my life! My dad, because I have always been a daddy's girl. He has always been so supportive of everything. even the struggles I have been through, he has stood by my side,
My Grandpa Tom, Because I dont know anyone better than Him. He was the most unconditional loving man I know. He was the REAL SANTA! and Never forgot anyones name. He always made you feel like you were important when you were in his company. He is greatly missed!
My Grandpa white, Because he is so sincere. Even when he does not say a word, you feel his love, and concern for you and your family. He Has a strong testimony of the church, which I admire. He is a great man!
My father-in-law Paul. He has such great love for our family. He is so sweet with my little boys, when he is with them.. he is WITH THEM! there are no distractions. Even when his body is hurting, he will be down on the floor enjoying there company. He has helped our family more times than I can count! He calls in and checks on me during the week days, and brings me a cold diet dew when he can tell that I am stressed.
My husband for all that he does for our family. He works so hard so that I can stay home with my kids. He loves Me even at my worst. He is adored by our little boys. They light up whenever he walks in the room. He is the Man for me! I love him soooo much.

My Joy...The laughter of my children. My family.

My Blog... Is the best thing I have to keep track of our lives. I love IT!

My Future...The future does scare me. Its the unknown that I dont like. But I just want to make sure that my family makes the most of everyday. Live, laugh, and love!

New addition!

This little guy is the newest addition to our family. We recently sold our last horse Corona... which was heart wrenching to me, she was such a doll. She will be well missed. But Jason has ALWAYS wanted a MULE.... so this guy (still no name...) is a mix between a Missouri fox trotter Mare, and a mammoth jack.He seems to be such a sweetheart. He is only 9 months old. And "so fluffy I could DIE!" lol

another pair of boots!

FOR SOME REASON, I CAN NOT GET THIS PICTURE TO TURN UPRIGHT. BUT "HERE'S TO THESE BOOT'S" ANOTHER PAIR DOWN ONLY A 9 MILLION PAIRS TO GO. CARTER GOES THROUGH A PAIR EVERY SIX MONTHS. HE LOVES HIS COWBOY BOOTS!!!!

Christmas Morning

Christmas morning was so fun. The kids opened ALL of their gift! this year Santa only brought them 3 a piece.... to bad grandma and grandpa didnt get the memo!
It seemed like they brought over millions of gifts for the family! they are way too good to us! thank you guys for everything!!! It was not even 10am before all the boys were asleep. Gavin was in his crib, and I walked into the living room to see Carter and Jason in this position.. They must have been super tuckered out!
We headed to the Baileys for a wonderful Christmas Lunch... And then Later went over to my parents to play some killer games on the wii. It was such a fun, low key Christmas this year! I hope you all enjoyed yours!

Christmas Eve

WE went out as a family on Christmas Eve, and went fishing. It was such a beautiful day out at Wellsville Dam. We even found a few little friends to share the day with. This little yellow duck was so cute. she would follow us around. she had a hurt wing, therefore Jason felt the need to feed her all of Gavins crackers.
I feel horrible for forgetting our camera that night. We enjoyed great company with the Garrett/Bailey family. playing minute to win it games, opening gifts! it is always so fun to get together with them! thanks everyone for such a great Christmas!

Christmas Memories!

Oh my goodness. It has been such a wonderful Christmas. This year has been such an emotional roller coaster for me, with having so many people willing to help me out with the kids, and dinner after my surgery. with our little secret elf's that have been stopping by our house. With all the love that I have realized that my family has for one another. And have always, but it just seems to show more now that we are getting older. I PRAY i raise my little family to be as close as i have been with my siblings! It has truly been one of the best! I hope that the new year brings so many more precious memories! THANK YOU ALL>>> hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, and enjoy the New Year!

Christmas pictures to come!

Merry Christmas ..... The Garrett's

Love it, and wanted to share it with the ones I love also.

I think that it is so great to teach the younger generation what the true meaning of the Season is. Christ's birth, Family... I know that that's what I want my children to remember most when they are older. Enjoy your Holiday Season!

Baby sitting....

I posted this on my facebook page, but thought that I would say it here too.
I dont know if most of you know, but I am now watching kids in our Home, and am looking to take on a few more. If  you are interested, please leave a comment... or email me at tenayaluv33@yahoo.com

Pictures of Puppy Love.... or HATE!!!!!!!!!!

Still positive that i HATE puppies. But at least he is a little cute.

Found a new place to put my USB! I really wanted to show this last picture of Gavin with that dang hospital hat!

He is doing so well since the tubes. He literally is a new man. Happy, and on the go all the time.

Emergency Tubes

 He H.A.T.E.S anything to be on his head. I tried to get a cute picture of him with is little surgery hat on. But the second I got it on, It was on it's way off. So this is the best we got!

Oooooohhhhhh Gavin..(sigh) This poor little man! I have mentioned before that he needed Ear tubes, and was just too sick to get them, but yesterday we both had had enough... He wouldnt eat, sleep, snuggle, NOTHIN! He was scheduled for surgery Dec.2 and his Dr. was in surgery all day today, so I got a hold of Dr. Wood and he had me meet him at his office this morning at 8:15. Super early, super crazy snow storm! Dr. Wood said this cant wait till the 2nd, Got Dr. Blotter on the phone (Gavins Dr.) And fit me into their already busy schedule for surgery. Once again, in the snow.... Headed from the Specialty Hospital to the IHC for surgery. I H.A.T.E doing things like this on my own, Jason had no idea that they were going to do the surgery today, so he headed to work this morning. I called my Dad. He is always so great to drop what he is doing and come and help in a time of need! thanks dad! youre the best!

We got to the IHC Surgical center around 9:15 and Left around 11:30 it was really great of them to get Gavin in and out, and taken care of!

Dr. Blotter is so great. He said that Gavins ears were horrible. Much worse when he got in there with the knife, He was glad that we got him in as soon as we did. 

Gavin has been asleep since we got home. I hope he wakes up a much healthier and Happier baby.

Thanks Paul and Sandra for taking care of our little Carter during this hectic day!

Like Father, Like Son!

Gavin got a hold of one of Carter's Oreo's last night, and He ended up looking just like Jason! He is the cutest thing ever..... well so is Carter!

Good reasoning for no post!

Urg..... Jason felt it necessary to add a new addition to our family. I have decided that I H.A.T.E puppies! I Hate the potty training, the whining, the sharp puppy teeth, their breath, the poop, I can go on if you want! :) Dont get me wrong, they are cute! but that is about all that is going for them! I swear after this little man, we are never ever again having a puppy again!
This puppy has chewed through my adapter to import pictures. so for a little while, I will be using my phone for most of the pictures till I get a new wire!!
Without further A due..... Meet Gauge!

Events

 My precious little Gavin. He is the sweetest natured baby. Last night he was up all night crying, and just wanting me to hold him. I knew then that something was not right. He woke up this morning with a temperature of 102.3. Got him right into the Dr. and my poor little man needs ear tubes. He has had at least 4 severe ear infections since he was born, and the Dr. says it is time! I hope that he pulls out of this infection so that we can get him into the ENT.

Love you baby cakes!

 Jason and I had this LARGE pine tree out back, and our neighbors the Colemans are putting in a fireplace in their home, So Dustin was nice enough to help us Jason cut it down. It reallly didnt take much time at all doing it cause Dustin had access to this cool lift.... 

Gavin A.D.O.R.E.S Carter. Carter was running back and forth in the living room, making this farting noise with his lips and tough and Gavin could not stop laughing at him. Just hearing this kids laugh will make anyone's day! ENJOY!
