Only a Face a Mother Could Love - Well a Daddy Too







Not long ago this past month we were eating a mexican supper and Sierra tried her hand at using silverware - her first real experience on her own. She loved the entire meal as you can see by the pictures. I'm not sure if she got more on her than she got in her.

Do You Ever Have Days Like These







Do you ever have a day where it just seems that you don't accomplish anything or not much it seems? This was one of those days for me and yet I had to laugh or I was going to cry. While I was on the phone with my mom the kids got out the cheerios and after eating some, promptly dumped them on the floor. Even the kitty got in on the action. Logan was pretty cheery about helping me "clean up"!

Donuts

Fall is in full swing and I can't believe how long its been since I have updated the blog. We have been really busy. I love fall and I really love fall food. That means applesauce - which I am presently working on and donuts! So far I have made three different kinds of donuts and they have all been good. My favorite so far has been Sweet Potato Sourcream donuts. They are good with applesauce and icecream on top or just plain all by themselves.

Welcome Friends & Family

Welcome to the Gardner Gang blog. Several friends of mine have done these and I finally decided to do one as well. I hope to preserve many family memories and make them available to share with all of you.

About Me

I'm a stay at home mom who loves being with my husband and kids out in the country.

Gardner Family "Remember When" List

  • Wyatt wanted to be a firefighter when he grew up - I just found several of the children's books on firefighting that he collected over the years.
  • Sierra called pillows "po-po's" and carried them all over the house.
  • Logan used to call Jesus "Gigi" and Haystacks, "haysnacks".
  • Logan used the black and red dry eraser markers and decorated Daddy's office and two of the walls in the family room!
  • Logan heard the phone ring and said, "Mommy the phone is talking to you"
  • Logan put nails in Daddy's grill on his car and every 30 feet down the road he heard "plink, plink"!
  • Logan went to the bathroom on his potty chair and then promptly said, Now it's Sissy's turn!
  • Mom totally shocked us all by letting us get a kitty that we promptly named "Morning Star"
  • Sierra surprised us by demonstrating that she could climb to new heights and ended up on top of the dining room table
  • We were at Lay Advisory Retreat and Logan pulled the fire alarm and everyone thought that Mom had done it
  • We were leaving Camp Au Sable and Dad brushed the trees with the RV and Logan said "Sorry Trees, Sorry Trees!"
  • Dad backed up the RV into Aunt Lori's car and wrecked the bumper and didn't even hardly feel a thing in the RV!
