Caught up

Getting an update on this blog.

This summer we went on many bike rides. We went up the provo canyon. We also rode to the grocery store. If you cant tell who is behind Diana and I, its Jeff and Darci and cute little Mona riding on Darci's bike.

Matt took our picture so I had to give him credit. and post a picture of my number one fan.

I had the best time with Andrew, Jonah, and Kenan. We were so excited for Clara to come into this world. #1 uncle matt got to hold cute little clara.

Love these boys they are the funniest and smartest. These are some of the pictures we took before leaving to go see baby clara.

Matt learned to make tamales with my parents. They take about a whole day to make, but in the end they taste delicious.

This summer we took care of Rob and Sabrinas kids. They are so fun to be around and they are so cute and sweet!  We went to the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake. The kids had fun! although I can remember how hot that day was. 

 Matt absolutely loves going to buffalo wild wings! we went so many times that i had to show you this gem of how much he loves it.

 Roxy and Miguel stopped by and surprised us with their cute baby alexia. She was so cute! I love babies so much. I am so glad I got to hold her and meet this cute girl.

We went to aspen grove for the Gardner family reunion. It was truly a wonderful experience to get to meet everyone. The Gardner family have the biggest competition I have ever really seen. We literally all sit down to play rook for hours and days. I remember the second night of the reunion I was up at 3am trying to finish a game with Natalie and Trent. We can just say Matt and I wanted to just be finished with the game. We had a blast and I could just talk about for hours of how much fun we had with family. My favorite time is when everyone would gather together for a meeting at the end of the day. 

We are Gardner Strong!!

 While at aspen grove we hiked with Jeff to Stewart falls.

Matt helped my sisters put a fort together out in the living room. They got to see how the Gardner boys are serious about the forts they put together. Matt gave them great pointers on how to make secret areas in a fort.

Terrible picture- we went to the Orem Owlz games a couple of time. The only real reason why we went was because it was free and they were playing the Idaho Falls Chukkars.

Go Chukkars!

We went to Idaho Falls to see this great couple get married in the Idaho Falls Temple. Jordan and Elizabeth.

Had to share this gem. Matt and the boys got some mustaches at the farmers market after the temple. They literally had so much fun with those mustaches.

okay I think the wedding photographer was a little obsessed with matt, she would ask if he could pose. so had to get one with poses that they did. The boys are so fun when they gather together.

Central bank took us to a fun play up in Sundance and we also got free dinner. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.

Let our 2012 summer begin

Matt and I have been so busy lately, he is still working at Central bank  and working on finishing school. He is also part of a softball team this year. He is part of an orem city league, their team name "The Bus Drivers" I know pretty awesome name! They have been doing well just enjoying to play out there. once I get a picture i will share out to you guys. I myself have been so busy, I have two part time jobs. I work at Packer Dental. Dr. packer is a great dentist, I would recommend him to anyone I know. Actually we right now have an amazing whitening for life deal. I also work for nuskin, I work in the call center spanish speaking with latin american countries. also finishing up a dental assisting class. We are just so blessed to be able to work and go to school.


This last weekend Diana and Nate had invited us to go to the RSL vs. New England game (knowing that Matt is our super #1 fan out of all of us) they couldn't just not invite us. we also got to see andrew and jonah down on the field. They were so cute and funny out there.

Down here just right in the middle is jonah!.

Here is andrew! He is a little hard to spot but he is lifting 

his arms in the air and has a dark green jersey.

Thanks for the time. Cant wait to add more updates. Hopefully i can get better at posting more about what is happening to us.

Spring 2012

We had the opportunity to go to the ice skating event. Thank you for including us Rob and Sabrina.

 Later on we had one of out best couple friends from boise come, unfortunately we only took one picture and it was before we left to the quarry. That place is amazing! 

Anyways, once i decide to take my camera around with me i will be sure to share it with all of you!

...

We got to go on the Trax with my family!

we were on our way to see the Salt lake Temple.

We got to go to Mona, Utah to the rope swing.

Yes,  he is my hero! I could not go down this swing. but I am so glad someone could enjoy it more than me.

I am not trying to embarrass anyone but I just had to show you all that we always have a party at the gardner home. It includes Rhonda & Gil dancing "so called good exercise" I think that they enjoyed dancing all out with us.

Rhonda always makes the best meals. I got to choose what to eat for breakfast! Because it was my Birthday! I chose the Ham and cheese loaf (its so good).

Halloween- Its so embarrassing but i had fun with matt. We had 0 kids come and trick or treat. I was very sad but we got to keep all that candy!

We had Thanksgiving with my family!

Then after we got to put up their christmas tree up.

 Then we gave a home to our cute Charlie Brown christmas tree!

We got to go the The Lights. AT Temple Square! it was lighted up so beautifully and we got to go with our good friends Hillary and Joel Sheppard.

I couldn't just not share this. We were just out n bout and we came across santa getting his finger pulled. It was just hilarious!

I had the best christmas! I was able to get beautiful fabric and a sewing machine to sew it all together. This was a fun project. I made this scripture bag for my little sister, she is so cute this is all she wanted for her birthday and she also got a really cool highlighter for her scriptures.

Thank you to Diana I was able to make these wonderful tasting cupcakes. It was not just Rhonda's special frosting. We froze the frosting and dipped them into chocolate and it formed into a hard shell. They were amazing!

My cute little nephews and niece Mona. Adore them all! and of course Mona's mama Darci. and matt making a funny face back there.

Yikes, we are still around

Hey guys! sorry we have not posted anything! here are some pictures to let you know how we have been doing for the last six months!

Baseball game: Owls vs. Idaho Falls 

                        I learned to make pineapple dole soft ice cream (recipe from disney world)

Then we cooked our actual REAL dinner. after having so many leftovers!

Then we got our picture from Ikea our favorite furniture store. We literally held it from all four sides of our windows and held it with our arms in the freeway with a rainstorm... luckily it did not get wet or fall off the roof of our car.
