Last weekend we attended a huge Gardner reunion in St. George. There were 1,000 Gardners there. My great(x4) Grandfather Robert Gardner helped settle St. George and was the first mayor and bishop there. In his honor they put a huge statue of him in the city center. Elder Holland (who is a Gardner) dedicated and unveiled the statue. It was really awesome! We had a blast visiting with relatives we hadn't seen forever and we also got to visit the McDonald fam. It was a great weekend.

The great outdoors!

A couple of weekends ago we headed down to San Clemente State Park to have our first family campout. I know it isn't that exotic of a location but it was a blast. (Minus the 1 hour of sleep I got since Avery decided to share a sleeping bag with me and take up all the space:)

Smile

We miss you Malibu

A few weekends ago we headed down to Malibu. We had soo much fun! We got to see tons of friends and enjoy the beautiful weather. Avery was in absolute heaven with her best friends Cambrie and Faith. On Sunday we visited our old church in the Palisades and Avery was so excited to see everyone. Being a small ward she always got tons of attention. It is kind of sad now when we go to our new church and she turns around with a huge grin on her face, only to see that nobody notices. She misses the Palisades where she had so many fans. (The word fans probably sounds ridiculous but we did have two 14 year old boys chasing our car down the street as we drove away hoping to get one last glimpse of their old pal Avery. What a riot! )

Happy Belated St. Patrick's Day!

Sometimes it is the simplest of things that can bring a smile to our face:)

Our Avery girl...

is growing up much too fast! It is so wild that a tiny baby can turn into a toddler over night!

Tubby time :)

So fresh and so clean clean.

FeBrUaRy has been a FaNtAsTiC month so far...

We went down to San Diego to visit our good friends Dan and Lindsey. Scott was very excited to surf and Avery and I were so happy to be at the beach:) The weather was beautiful.

Avery has a huge crush on Dan and couldn't stop smiling and following him around (I think she likes his Australian accent).

Avery loved seeing these huge pelicans and wanted to pet them really bad. The little girl that did when we were walking up got her leg bitten. Yieks!

We also went down to Seal Beach to visit the Christensens and the Toones.

I got to see my good pals Jen and Becca

Scott got to see his good pals Ryan and Gentry

and Avery got to see her best pal Gwen. Boy was she excited!

We walked all around Seal Beach. It was really cold and windy but to our surprise, there was a beautiful rainbow. It is kinda hard to see in the photo but it is there:)

Buck Owen's Crystal Palace.

The best place to go for a heel clickin good time in B-field:)

We have been here two times now and it is just hilarious. There are people of all ages, babies up to 81 year old's, breaking it down on the dance floor.
