Hailey riding her bike without training wheels

Hailey learned how to ride Garrett's bike on April 22nd while we were at the park one day. She didn't take her bike... So she tried to ride G's bike....we worked with her and she really did great, but we were not prepared and didn't have our camera. :( So the next Saturday, Dave took her training wheels off of her bike and helped her ride her bike while I was working. Once I was done working I was able to get some pictures and video.


Hailey got help from everyone... Mommy, Daddy, and even Garrett.
Here they are racing each other. :)

Hailey was so proud when she did it all on her own. "Da da da da da da"

Garrett lost his First Tooth


He finally lost his first tooth on Sunday, May 3rd! It has been lose for about a month and he just wiggles it and wiggles it. It was just dangling there and Dave was finally able to just pull it. Garrett didn't feel a thing! He was SOOOOO excited. You know how he just giggles and shows those dimples! "Mom, I'm so excited (he he he he giggle giggle)" He's not sure about the tooth fairy though. He's afraid that the tooth fairy will take his tooth and he wants to keep it. :) He doesn't care if he gets money, he really just doen't want that tooth fairy to take his special tooth!!! He is so funny! I assured him that the tooth fairy will just leave money and let you keep your tooth. :) We'll see if he trusts the tooth fairy enough to put it under his pillow tonight. :)

Update... Garrett was so excited when he got $5 under his pillow from the tooth fairy. He said, "The tooth fairy was really sneeky because I didn't even hear her come in my room!" He was thrilled and went and bought a transformer with his money and a little help from Mom and Dad.


Here's a picture taken a few days later, Friday May 9th. You can see that his big tooth is pretty much already in! You can't even see a gap. No wonder it took so long to come out! I think his big tooth just came in behind his baby tooth!

His favorite books are anything to do with rockets, dinosaurs, and planets. He loves to play outside and it doesn't matter what the weather is like. He loves to ride his bike, play with his friends, go sledding, play at the playgrond, and have fun with his sister Hailey. He is the sweetest boy you will ever meet and has a heart of gold that will melt you with his dimples. He is so loving and is the best snuggler there ever was! He brings to our family fun, love, excitement, sweet "I love you's" whether he says I love you or he signs it as he walks to school. He is a true treasure and we love him very much! He makes your day with his hugs, kisses, and those cute dimples!

Hailey was born June 23, 2003 and is now 4 years old and also enjoys life and has quite the personality. She is in preschool and also loves to read. Her favorite books are anything with Disney princesses, kittens, horses, unicorns, Hello Kitty, and many more. :) She loves to play dress up with Garrett and she loves her little pets. She puts on the cuttest outfits and has a silly goofy personality that makes it so much fun! She also loves to play ouside and loves having friends over to play. She has the cutest little accent when she talks and a cute little dimple, and beautiful red hair that makes you fall in love every time you look at her and hear her talk. :) She has quite the spunk about her that makes her unique and keeps life fun and enjoyable as long as she is around. :) We love her so much and we feel very blessed to have her in our family.

David loves being home with Garrett & Hailey. He works at the State of Utah as a Health Physicist and Radiation Safety Specialist. He loves to mountain bike, golf, water ski, snow ski and read fanasy books. But most of him time is spent doing the things that his kids love to do so he keeps busy watching movies with this kids, sleding, riding bikes together, swimming, and anything that Hailey and Garrett want to do that's fun. :)

Jineena loves to be with her family. She is trying to get into working out again as this used to be a huge passion and love. She works at ACS and works as a health claim verifier at home. She loves to scrapbook when she gets the time but she spends most of her time taxing the kids around to and from school, helping with homework, reading with the kids, and doing mommy things around the house. Things that make her day are just being with her family and enjoying Garrett & Hailey and their cute ways of making her laugh.
