He is the most entertaining kid and our family wouldn't be the same without him. He is a grumpy loveable old man stuck in a little boy's body. He is constantly surprising us and says the funniest things. He loves reading us books, playing board games, and the wii or any electronic device he can get his hands on. He and Logan are inseparable but he still takes pride in his role as big brother to little Elsie. He likes to do things all by himself and constantly scolds coaches and teachers that he doesn't need help. At the end of his gymnastics class they give the kids a stamp, a color page, and end with a cheer but Campbell doesn't have time for such frivolous tomfoolery and politely declines participation. I seriously wish I could describe the intensity and depth of Sweet Campbell! <br />

To my horror he requested a Pokémon Party. I tried to convince him otherwise but those of you who know Campbell know he is not easily persuaded. I searched all over town for Pokémon anything but had zero luck so I had to get a little creative. <br />

We made a special trip to Utah for his party so we could celebrate with family (Campbell's idea). We started off with some Pokémon Trainer training. The kids chased Pikachu (Dad/Mike) around with silly string because everyone knows that a trainer has to practice being fast in order to catch those Pokémon. Unfortunately I didn't get the best pictures of the chase. It is so hard to get pictures of a the party one is hosting. Anyone else have this problem?<br />

Next we had a Pokémon scavenger hunt. The kids followed clues around my parent's house and yard to collect all the Pokémon cards earning Pikachu ears along the way. Thanks Mom for helping me make these beauties! We bought headbands from the dollarstore, cut and then colored craft foam with a marker for the black tips, and glued them together. <br />

We can't seem to throw a party without a piñata. My favorite part was when Campbell knocked the piñata off the rope on his second turn and continued hitting it until he felt it was good and dead. We are talking a good full two minutes of excessive and intense beating of this piñata. I was laughing so hard my stomach hurt; we all were. <br />

The baker at Harmon's was a big Pokémon fan as a child so he was able to create this cake on special order. Best store bought cake ever!<br />

For Spring Break last week my sister Candice and her family drove up from San Antonio and a few days later my parents came down from Utah. We had so much fun hanging out, sledding, geocaching, visiting Durango, and checking out the Aztec ruins. A highlight of the break was definately the day we visited the Mesa Verde National Park. The ruins there are intriguing and mysterious. The lovely weather added to the perfect day.<br />

There were ruins throughout the cliffs leaving us in awe. The views were breathtaking and the history alluring. New Mexico is full of these historical sites and we plan on checking out as many as we can in the short time that we'll be living here. <br />

I know this post is a little late but I just had to share a piece of this little gal's big day. She adds so much to our family. She is still daddy's little clone. Her favortie food is Marshmellows (do they count?) and she LOVES to read books with anyone willing! She loves bathtime and being outside. She is so sweet yet super tough and stubborn. She has a super loud voice (a true Garner). Elsie is super interested in animals and their sounds. Her favorite sounds to make are elphant, snake, bee, and owl (random!). She never stops surprising us. We just love her to pieces!

It all started when we bought Logan a policeman Halloween costume at costco that he just couldn't live without. Suddenly he wanted to be a police officer when he grows up and a short time later announced that he was going to have a cops and robbers birthday party.

Then is was time for their police training (an obstacle course). They each took turns crawling through a tunnel, around the lamp post, down the slide, saved a baby from a burning building, gave cinderella a speeding ticket, shot at a target, and finished up by tackling Gerald the bad-guy monkey and throwing him in jail (again, I wish I had the pictures to show). Wah-wah.<br />

And how could we celebrate without giving our cops some donuts? We hung the donuts from the trees and handcuffed their little hand behind their backs. It was tricky but many of them stuck with it. After that the kids decided that they wanted to skip the games on the agenda and play "cops and robbers" which consisted of the cops chasing the robbers and throwing them in jail. This was followed by pizza, singing the birthday song, and opening presents just before the parents arrived to pick up our guests. The two hours flew by. </div>

Campbell turned three in April. He is quite obssessed with Kinder eggs (chocolate eggs with surprises in the middle) so he insisted on having a "Kinder Egg Party". "But what do you do at a Kinder Egg Party?" I would ask him. Campbell: "You have an easter egg hunt and give everyone Kinder Eggs." So here it is folks...The Kinder Egg Birthday Party.</div>

While Mike hid the eggs we distracted the kids with a few games. <br />
<br />
The kids had to push their kinder egg with their nose to a plastic spoon and then balance it while racing down to a tree. <br />

I had a hard time getting decent pictures of the kids. They were too fast racing around gathering their eggs.<br />

<br />
Campbell took his sweet time hunting. He likes to stop and check out what is in each egg before he moves on to the next. I guess he knows how to live in the moment. You could say he is a "stop and smell the roses" kind of a guy. <br />

<br />
The good news is the party was after easter so I was able to buy buckets and eggs on clearance. I wrote each child's name in gold on the bucket to avoid mix-ups and sent them off to find fifteen eggs each. I tried to fill the eggs with things other than just sweets. There were glow-in-the-dark spiders, felt bunny stickers, foam surprise capsules, and then treats of course. <br />

I was so glad that Mike was able to leave work for a few hours to celebrate. He is always such a big help and the best dad.<br />

We are so grateful Campbell is a part of our family. He adds so much joy to our life. He is one of the funniest kids I have ever met. He has a grumpy old man soul and he always has us in stitches (see above picture). He scowls at admirers in public places, "I'm giving them my mad face Mom", he says whatever he feels, and has no hesitation doing whatever he pleases. He is confident and tough, don't you dare call him cute to his face. He is very smart and he keeps up with his big brother Logan whom he admires greatly. Logan is his best friend. They do everything together. He is still obssessed with cats and has already planned his fourth birthday party which yes, is indeed cat themed. He spends most of his spare time pretending to be a cat named Fluffy (which I thought was just a little phase but it is turning out to be a really long phase). His favorite toys are Squinkies. He lives off of fruit. He is a pro at riding his little red tricycle around and he has been a great shopping companion while Logan is in preschool. When I try things on I always ask Campbell what he thinks. Once I got the response, "you're a pretty princess Mom!" My heart melted. Another time I held up a shirt and Campbell said, "not good Mom". I don't know if it was how he said it or the look on his face that had me laughing hysterically. He still loves books and hates princess movies. He has recently overcome his fear of skunks. On our drive to Utah for our christmas vacation a skunk sprayed our truck and at the next stop Campbell thought he saw a skunk close by him in the bushes. He was really startled and made us carry him to and from the car wherever we went for two weeks. Now he is on to coyotes. There have been several sightings of coyotes in the neighborhood and warnings from the neighborhood association. I may have used this to my benefit when Campbell kept letting himself out to play without my supervision. I told him about the letters and he hasn't left the house alone since. If you want to be this little guys friend you have to earn it. Grandma Elsie says she has to win Campbell over everyday when he comes to visit. But his company will keep you entertained for sure. Here is a recent conversation we had:<br />
<br />
Campbell: "Mom I can't find_____ (some toy I don't recall which particular one). Do you know where it is?"<br />
Me: "Campbell, I think we should get rid of some toys. You have too many so you can't ever find what you're looking for."<br />
Campbell: Silence. . . "Mom? I think you have too many dresses."<br />
<br />
I could go on forever. The point is, Campbell, you are awesome and we love you! Marissa Joyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04889451968550066460noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29447557.post-60596971908081888832012-04-20T16:37:00.000-07:002012-04-20T16:37:54.751-07:00<br />

Elsie's first accident. I was fixing dinner and thought that I had placed the vase far far out of reach but this Houdini somehow managed to arch her back and yank those tulips across the counter. I'm not sure if the crash of the vase scared her or my startled scream. <br />

Elsie doesn't want to sit up and it's killing me! She prefers to be held while I bustle around the house but when I can't hold her she is happy to just lay on her back and watch the constant action around her or play with her toys. <br />

These boys love their little sister so much. At times it is somewhat overwhelming for little Elsie but her life wouldn't be the same without them. They play with her and help fetch diapers and soothers and they love to hold her and make her laugh. I am so lucky to be mother of these three crazies!

Elsie is already six months old! It's hard to believe, the time has passed so quickly. <br />
She is currently 99th percentile for height and 85th percentile for weight. She is the happiest baby and loves to talk and laugh. People notice her eager smile wherever we go and she has convinced many that they are actually funny. <br />

For family home evening one Monday we invited some friends to go sledding and ended the night with doughnuts and hot chocolate (the boys' hands were full so they couldn't manage to pull their hats up out of their eyes). We are so glad that Hailey and Ruby Hamilton (pictured here) and Matt and Jasmine Roberts joined us. <br />

Elsie is always a trooper through our adventures. I guess she doesn't really know any different than layers of clothes and blankets.<br />

We took the boys ice skating for the first time this year. There is a park downtown that has a fun outdoor rink that is free, even the skates are free to borrow. <br />
<br />
<br />

I was surprised by how much Campbell liked skating. He didn't want to stop. We pushed him around and around the rink until we were too exhausted to go any further. He did a really good job. <br />

Mike and I took turns taking the boys around while the rest of the family watched on a bench. Campbell took advantage of his breaks by eating what the boys call a "snow snack".<br />

Logan says that he wants to be a hockey player when he grows up. We took the boys to a hockey game this winter and Logan was crushed when we had to leave a few minutes early. The game was late at night and Campbell was melting down by the end. <br />

Did I mention winter is really long here? We have to get creative to keep ourselves entertained. Glow sticks in the tub, a birthday party for squeaky (Logan's beloved stuffed mouse), and riding bikes in the church gym are just a few of the desperate ways we have fought against boredom. <br />

Snowballs! Right after this picture I got nailed. I didn't think Logan would be able to aim through the tiny crack in the sliding door...I was wrong!<br />
Notice our poor snowman's carrot nose and smashed banana mouth strewn carelessly to the wayside. Note to the wise: don't use a banana on your snowman. It will result in a hideous brown pile that resembles dog waste when your snowman melts and who wants a brown smile anyway? Not your snowman! I'm just sayin'...<br />

The only time the boys are calm and quiet is when I turn on cartoons or read them a book and Elsie just goes with the flow. And yes, that would be Campbell's squeaky hiding under his cheek. Yep, Campbell is almost as obssessed as Logan with his little stuffed mouse. <br />

Happy Winter! You may be asking yourself "Happy winter? Aren't you a little late?" To which I would answer "I wish, winter will be here a while yet (sob)". It is super late, can you tell? The crazy narrative will probably be edited out tomorrow when I am conscious so enjoy for now and pretend it never happened.Marissa Joyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04889451968550066460noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29447557.post-17385709141498727402012-01-31T21:17:00.000-08:002012-01-31T21:29:24.704-08:00<div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">Little Miss Elsie</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

As usual I am a little behind on posting Garner happenings but instead of playing catch-up I am skipping to these sweet pictures that my talented sister took over the christmas break. I just couldn't resist, I LOVE them!<br />

Campbell's pumpkin was a cat. I am not exactly sure where his love of cats comes from but it runs deep. Lets hope its just a phase. j/k<br />

Campbell is one of the nuttiest kids I have ever met. I wish that he would share his kookie personality with everyone. The missionaries came over the other night for dinner and he wouldn't say a word to them. Once Mike asked a cahttering Campbell why he doesn't talk like that to everyone and his reply was, "because I don't like them". So apparently, if Campbell talks to you its a compliment. <br />

Logan still doesn't like to get his hands dirty if he can help it. This was his new approach to cleaning out the pumpkin. When that didn't work he returned to his rubber gloves. <br />

Mike and I dressed up as Roughrider fans (the Canadian football team from Saskatchewan). They are a big deal here. You Americans might not get it but our friends thought it was funny. This picture was taken after I had already taken off my watermelon hat. Mike made them and I must say I he did a really good job. <br />

All the kids had astronaut costumes and we failed getting a picture of them all together. Logan dressed up as a fire fighter for the halloween party at church which is somewhat ironic because he has a new and very real fear of fire alarms but that's another story. Anyway I think they are adorable and they had a blast trick or treating this year. Between the party at church and trick or treating they ended up with a load of candy! <br />

While I was pregnant I would often ask the boys what they thought we should name their little sister. Penelope and Millie were their two favorite names. When we brought Elsie home from the hospital the boys announced that if we could name the baby they could to...thus Elsie became also known as Penelope. I stayed home from church the first few weeks after Elsie was born and from what I understand several people asked the boys what we named our new baby to which they of course replied, "Penelope". It has caused some confusion but I think it is hilarious. It has been four weeks and they still refer to Elsie as Penelope. <br />

The boys are so sweet with Elsie. They kiss her, talk to her, and beg to hold her all day long. This is a picture of Logan watching TV while holding Elsie's hand, so cute! Whenever she cries the boys do their best to comfort her. They scramble to find her binki, pat her on the head, hold her hand, or sing to her. <br />

When Elsie was two weeks old we went to get pumpkins on our first real outing. Dutch Growers green house has a fun hay bale maze every year and the kids loved it. We had a hard time keeping up with the boys. This dead end allowed me to catch Logan for a quick picture.<br />

The boys love their new baby sister. When Campbell came into the room at the hospital he walked straight over to Elsie and held out his arms to hold her. The boys kept repeating, "she's so cute". I think they are going to be protective big brothers and hopefully she can mellow them out a little. <br />

After Waterton we headed down to Great Falls, Montana. We were so close to the great USA we just couldn't resist. First we headed to an air show. I am pretty sure we have become total softies since adjusting to the mild Canadian summers because I was positive we were going to melt before the end of the show. Actually, Logan and Campbell didn't seem to mind they were too busy enjoying the airplanes. <br />

Needless to say, it was a full day so that night we relaxed at our hotel, ate snacks, and watched a movie together. <br />

Campbell loved jumping on the beds but wasn't super cooperative in the process. Here he is in Waterton. I guess he is more of a diver than a jumper. <br />

To get there we had to drive through Southern Alberta so we made sure that we swung by Raymond, the town where Mike's mother was born. It was a quick stop but we were able to visit the grave of James Heninger, Mike's grandfather.

I wish we had pictures, it was beautiful. The boys walked up and down the shallow riverbed throwing rocks and playing in the water. Next we drove to Cameron Lake (missed the canoeing wah, wah) and then ate dinner at Weiners of Waterton (which I highly recommend). On our way out of the park we stopped by the famous Prince of Wales Hotel and continued on to Cardston where we stayed the night on our way down to Montana. It was truely a great day.</div>Marissa Joyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04889451968550066460noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29447557.post-44742095380659847622011-08-14T21:19:00.000-07:002011-08-14T21:19:25.655-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">Just Because...</span></strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<em>Cars 2</em> opened June 24th, the boys could hardly wait for this day. We went all out with the treats and the popcorn and the boys thought they were in heaven. Logan is showing you his new Lightening Mcqueen (which he calls Fire Mcqueen because the new Lightening has flames painted on the sides). The boys have been earning the new characters by doing their chores. It has been a great enticement.<br />

After dinner Mike got a babysitter. First we went to the movies and saw <em>Super 8 </em>and then we went to a little concert. Meaghan Smith just happened to be playing at a local "cafe" on my birthday. She was awesome! I love her music and she was even super nice. I went up and chatted with her before she went on. I am aware of the hideousness of this picture but it is the only one that worked out in the concert. Mike wanted me to point out that we are not "high", the flash was a little bright. It was such a fun night! <br />
Thanks Mike for the wonderful gifts and fun date. It ended up being a great birthday!<br />

We just couldn't resist the suckers in the gift shop so we had to take a lollipop picture. <br />

After we saw Old Faithful we headed up the road to the mud pots (I think that's what they were, we saw a lot of geysers and such). This is Larry and me enjoying the stinky steam.<br />

Sadly we only saw the Fords for a few hours before we parted ways but before we left we went to see a few of Yellowstone's amazing waterfalls. Even Squeaky the mouse enjoyed the view.<br />

</div><div align="left">I think the boys really enjoyed Yellowstone, it was sad the stop was so short but we plan on returning in few years. </div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">Notice Campbell doesn't seem too thrilled in any of the pictures; the poor guy had ear infections and was in a lot of pain. He has had them for two months! We just can't get rid of them. Several rounds of antibiotics later and I think that we are finally almost in the clear.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">April first we flew home to Utah because Mike's brother Steve and his wife Emma were getting sealed in the Mount Timpanogos Temple. All of Mike's siblings were able to be there. It was so nice to be with everyone and we are so proud of you Steve and Emma! I think the kids had the most fun playing with their cousins and getting spoiled by Grandma Elsie. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Since we were surrounded by family we decided to throw a little party for Campbell's second birthday. Nana (my mom) was kind enough to surrender her house for the cause. It looked like rain out so we ended up having an indoor easter egg hunt. I think these little bunnies enjoyed themselves. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After the easter egg hunt our little bunnies had to earn their carrots (a plastic carrot full of bubbles) by doing the bunny hop. I only wish I could have captured how cute these kids were while doing the bunny hop. It may have been my favorite part of the party and they truly seemed to be enjoying themselves. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

For those of you who don't know Campbell well, he is so entertainig. He takes awhile to warm up to new people but he loves to talk and he has the best laugh (and don't worry a few days later he got his first real hair cut, thanks Nana)! <br />

Campbell loves books, his cowboy boots, any kind of fruit, pretending to be a cat named fluffy, and playing with Logan. He is still a good napper and a little bit of a home-body but he really enjoys being outside now that it has warmed up. He is brave, confident, and could be referred to as Mr. Independent. Let's just say he is overflowing with personality. <br />
<br />
Logan and Campbell recently invented a game they named anyfundge. One of them lays on a half blown up punching bag and the other jumps from the arm of a chair landing on the bag launching their brother into the air. Is this a good idea you ask? Probably not but I dare you to stop them. Plus, it is pretty darn hilarious to watch. <br />
<br />
Campbell is constantly saying funny things. I took Campbell with me into a dressing room and when I tried on a dress he said, "you a pretty princess mom." I didn't know he knew about princesses yet. <br />

I have to especailly thank Stephanie, my Grammie Billee Lou, and Jamie for the extra help. I owe you! Thanks to everyone for coming and celebrating with us. My only regret was not taking more pictures. I wish I had a picture of everyone there. <br />
