About the Gardner's!

This is us! Jared, Stefanie, Anna and Aiden! Anna is 4 and Aiden is 2, time flies so fast! We're doing our best to enjoy life and take every obstacle head on! :) I'm hoping to have this blog be about all the happy things in our life and keep it mostly positive! Obviously, we have things in our lives that aren't so great, but I'll do my best to keep this as uplifting as possible ;)

New pictures, finally!












Ok I'm finally going to post some pictures from when I last posted! We went to North Salt Lake on the 3rd of July for their annual fireworks show and we all had a great time! I held both Anna and Aiden during the show because we had one blanket to huddle under and as you can see, Anna did NOT like them! They scared her so she tried to hide from them. Aiden loved them though. Then on the 4th we went to Jared's parent's house and had a barbeque with family members, we all had a great time! I loved putting Anna's hair in curlers, she looks so cute! :) She helped her grandpa shuck corn and Aiden loved to eat the watermelon rinds and corn cob ends! lol. It was so cute. We spent the 24th of July with family as well, but my camera was dead so I wasn't able to get pictures :(. There are other little random pictures as well: one of me with my new teeth!, one of the kids in the tub, one of Aiden doing his new thing which is standing on the side of the couch, which he actually does anywhere and everywhere now!, and one of him standing in his crib! That's when I realized we needed to lower the mattress! lol. There are probably other pics as well, so enjoy!

I'm BAACCKK!!

After who knows how long it's been, I can finally start posting again!! We've had a few computer problems the past few months so it's been pretty crazy! We finally got this computer all working right so I can finally update! I'll just summarize whatever has happened lately: Anna is still a little ball of energy and as of the past couple weeks has decided to go to sleep at midnight every night, which is driving us CRAZY. Hopefully it's just a phase! She loves to play outside as much as possible and has a little friend here to play with which makes it more fun! Aiden also loves the outdoors and is crawling around EVERYWHERE! He also pulls himself up alongside furniture and whatever else he can and is pretty close to standing/walking on his own, it's nuts! He also has his two bottom teeth which makes his smile that much cuter! They're both such sweeties and most of the time a blast to be with! :) Jared is still working and doing a great job at it while I stay at home with the kids! Our fourth of July and 24th of July holidays were a lot of fun and they were spent with many family members which makes it even more fun! We saw lots of fireworks and things which Anna didn't like, but Aiden loved. We're planning a small trip for next month, probably to Arizona, so we're looking forward to that! I'll try and get some pictures posted soon, I don't have the time for it right now. Oh, and of course the other thing that happened last month...I got my braces off, yippee!! My teeth look amazing and I just LOVE to show them off now! :) I just LOVE my new teeth! Thanks hun!! That's about it for now, I'll be posting more later!
