Wildlife Safari!!
We loved heading down to Wildlife Safari with Carleen and her girls, Jessica and her girls, and our crew! We all got tickets from Groupon and had to use them up before they expired, thus the quick trip after school on Monday! It was super fun as none of us had ever been there before! There are animals from Africa, Asia, and America roaming around on their 600 acres! Chet was super excited about seeing African animals because they are his absolute favorite!! We've watched videos on African animals, but they are even cooler in real life! The park has a village area that you can walk around and see animals, and then the main part of the park you drive thru in your car to see the animals! It was a fun day together, and as always so fun to be with special friends. =)
Driving around...
Lily got to snuggle with Jessica all through the park =)
A giraffe and a hippo. The other giraffe they have at the park got stuck in the pond! We had to wait an hour to drive through the park as they got it unstuck!
We were so excited to see tons of African animals! Chet looooves African animals so it was extra special! We saw zebras, rhinos, wildebeests, oryx, and gemsbok on this hillside!
And we saw Chet's favorite animal! A cheetah!! We also saw three cute little cheetah cubs in a different area!
Walking around the park...
Cute buddies!
The cutest ever little lamb!
Reese, Kaia, and Chet milking the cow! It actually spurted out water!
A goofy little goat!
Cute little kiddos!
Reid and Lily! Can you tell what I was doing to try to make Reid smile? =D
Zane and Reid have been having fun playing 'meeting' together lately! They both grab their hymnbooks, and either drive or walk to meeting (the couch) and sing Tell Me The Story of Jesus, and then Zane gives his testimony. So Sweet!
Little Miss Lily is getting so strong lifting her head up! Such a sweetie!! Already 1 month old!
A visit from Grandma!!
We loved having Grandma come visit!!
Zane burping Lily! What a good big helper!
Lots of books were read together!
Sharing Grandma's coffee! "Yumm!" As Reid says!

Skate park fun!
The boys have been wanting to go to the skate park here in town for the longest time, so when there was a partially sunny day, off we went! They had a blast riding around and doing tricks while all the big kids were in school!
Here goes Zane!
Professional tricksters!
Fishing away!
We have been having so much fun fishing these past couple weekends! The first weekend we went to Green Peter to fish, and then this past weekend we went to Foster Lake where we caught one trout! He was delicious and the boys were so excited to catch and eat him! I love this picture by the way! I love that Chet, Zane, and Reid are all such good buddies and love so much being together =D
Excitedly reeling in a fish!
Good buddies! =)
Lily and mommy all snuggled up! Lily was 8 days old on this fishing trip at Green Peter!
Happy days at home!
We loved a quick visit from Papa & Nana!
I'm finding that dressing a girl is so much fun! =)
Our family of six!
sweetness!
There's nothing quite like snuggling with a newborn baby!

Lily Jane Garrett!!!!
We are SO excited to announce that Lily Jane Garrett is here!! Lily was born on Friday, April 6th at 5:34pm! Weighing 7 lbs 1.7 oz and 19 inches long. She was three days past our due date, but with a rush, and lightening speed came into this world! Our normal OB doctor didn't make it for the delivery...we had just been in the hospital for 54 minutes when she arrived! Her head was already out when the on-call doctor arrived! She is the sweetest little girl, and we all adore her here! Chet, Zane, and Reid love her soooo much!! She is very much loved with all the kisses, and snuggles she gets from her brothers! It is so sweet to see! We so look forward to the days ahead with Lily in our family! =)
