G.G.'s 81st Birthday

On March 8, my Grandma Lois (G.G.) turned 81!  The boys helped me make her birthday cake.  They also helped me frost the cake.  Then they helped her blow out the candles on her cake.  I think G.G. was a little nervous about all the candles on her cake.  It was either that or she was nervous about how Garrett is a little pyro and was liked looking at the cake with all of the candles on it.  The boys love all of their grandmas!  They really like it when they get to help their grandmas do things.

Wrestling with Jeff

Tyler and Garrett love to go with Justin when he goes to see his friend Jeff at his house.  Tyler and Garrett love to attack and wrestle with Jeff.  Jeff is a big kid like Justin and he just encourages the boys.  Usually the boys will take turns and tag team Jeff.  One day while we were visiting, Jeff jokingly tied the boys up.  First he tied up Tyler.  Garrett helped Jeff tie up his brother.  Tyler and Garrett just laughed and laughed.  Afterwards, Garrett helped Tyler get free.  Then the next thing you knew, the boys were attacking Jeff again.  While they were wrestling, Garrett kept asking Jeff to tie him up.  So, Jeff tied him up for a minute.  Tyler and Garrett just laughed and laughed.  I kept telling the boys to settle down, but they were having fun.  Jeff was just laughing at how the boys kept coming back for more.  I have always said, my boys are all boy.  I love them to piece but there are many times, I just sit back and shake my head.

Over view of February

I am sorry that I have not posted anything for a couple of months.  Life continues to be busy with the boys, work, home life, dogs, etc.  Add to that, my camera broke and I don't like to post stuff without pictures. 

During February, we went to Powell, Wyoming to visit Aunt Alana, Uncle Pogo, and Telesse.  Kathy and Earl were there visiting from Utah.  We were there over Valentine's day weekend.  Tyler and Garrett were excited to go see everyone.  They helped Aunt Alana and Telesse gather eggs one day.  Tyler did not like all of the chickens coming close to him, but Garrett had no problems going in there and collecting the eggs. 

The boys liked it when the doorbell rang and their Valentine's gifts were left on the doorstep.  They thought that was neat.  It did not help that they were spoiled as usual.

The boys and I made a couple of day road trips to Missoula and Deer Lodge in February.  Other than that, life was normal...school, church, work, going to the babysitters.  We live a fairly boring life with the exception that the boys are very active with very active imaginations.  In February, the boys were carrying around calculators for a few days.  Garrett kept saying he needed his PDA.  We could not go anywhere without the PDA (calculator).
