Garret's Recent Doings

Kirt always jokingly tells Garret that if he doesn't obey he is going to give him a wedgie. The other night when Kirt was tucking Garret in and Garret told Kirt that he had a secret. When Kirt leaned in to hear the secret Garret said "I actually kind of like wedgies." Now Kirt gives them to Garret when he does stuff well.

I was watching Nixon and Sadie last week and Sadie was being a little fussy. I was trying to get a few things done, so I asked Garret to dance for Sadie because it was keeping her happy. After he had danced for her for a few minutes he said "I'm done, I retire."

Everytime there is music with a dancing beat playing anywhere in the house, Garret immediately starts dancing and tearing his shirt off. I thinks he thinks that he is Billy Idol. He cannot seem to dance with his shirt on. I don't know why he thinks that dancing and taking your shirt off go hand in hand. I definitely don't take mine off when I dance:) (Thank goodness, right?)

Katie's Dance Recital

Katie had her dance recital. She loved her jazz number. Her class wore glow in the dark bracelets on their wrists and ankles and danced the beginning and end of the dance in the dark. Thanks Miss Michelle for another awesome year of dance!

Camping at Naborlee

We went camping over Memorial Day at camp Naborlee which is where our stake goes to girls camp every year. The Clark family came with us. We got to camp for free if we helped clean up the camp.

The water was 70 feet lower than normal. This area is usually covered in water.

Cleaning the camp

Katie was reading one of the Diary of a Wimpy kids books and read the whole time.

Garret's 4th birthday

Garret got to have his 1st friend birthday party. He had it at Chuck E. Cheese. He was in heaven. He had a family party on Sunday, a friend party on Monday (his actual birthday) and then they had a party for him at school on Tuesday. I had a baby shower for my friend on Wednesday and he thought that that party was for him too. Garret got a Build a Bear with a Darth Vader outfit on and Legos Pirates of the Caribbean for the XBOX.

Swimming in the Green Pool

Kirt told the kids that if they were good helpers with our cleaning projects yesterday that we could take the winter cover off the pool and they could go swimming. We took the cover off and the pool was a lovely shade of green and probably about 50 degrees. Did this stop the kids from swimming? Of course not. They are absolutely crazy.

My 3rd Half Marathon May 14, 2011

We hadn't really trained for the run this year, but decided that it would be a nice Saturday run along the Centennial Trial and that we would just run/walk the race. We started and felt pretty good so we just kept going. We finished in just 5 minutes slower than we had done in last years race. That is great for this year, but what does it say about last year when we had trained a ton. I like the idea of just running it without training because if I'm not going to get any faster why run so much every weekend.  Last year before the race I think we ran at least 8-8 miles runs, 4-10 miles runs and 1-12 mile run. This year I hadn't run more than 5 miles since before Christmas. Oh well. At least I am out there running, but I am definitely not fast.
