Carson's Blessing

Here is all the Gibby side of the family that was able to make it to Carson's blessing. The bishop didn't announce he was getting blessed and we thought we all might have to come back in 2 more weeks. Good thing Jaren was there it straighten it all out.


Mom wanted me to post some pictures of the festivities from this weekend. Here is the growing Jarrard family. Luckily in this picture Coral is smiling. She didn't want her picture taken, but dad made her laugh. Way to go dad. Carson is wearing a cute white outfit. I think that it looks like a sailor uniform.

Apparently mom is sending me one more picture. I will post it when I get it. Have a great week everybody. Thanks for the party Chantille and Jaren.

How does my garden grow!

Colette and Erik showed all the vegetables they got from my garden but I thought I would show a picture of the garden so those of you who haven't seen it yet can see it. The garden is on both sides of my driveway but only the big squashes and pumpkins are on this side and as you can see they are taking over! It has done really well this year and we are really looking forward to all the yummy winter squash we will have. I just hope they don't strangle the pine trees!

Aunt Colette and Carson

I liked how Carson's hands were clasped in this picture.

Sarah and Nate Nursery Ideas

Nate and Sarah have been troubled for some time. Like all new parents they were in search for the ultimate baby room. Chantille and Jaren wanted to do somthing nice for the new parents and consulted Schewaan Woo, a famous feng shui designer from Japan. After much time and consideration Mr. Woo sent in the final drafts. We were thrilled and told Mr. Woo to finish the baby room for Sarah and Nate! We hope Sarah and Nate enjoy the new baby room as much as we do.

From Kentucky to Wyoming

This was a great sign that Wyoming was almost over. I never want to drive through it again on 2 lane roads. Most of them were not paved. We survived somehow.






Erik really likes this picture, because he thinks it looks like we are part of mount rushmore. This is also a great shot of my new classes. I like them.

Erik and I also went to City of Rocks while in Idaho. Erik is trying to figure out how to climb done from the rock. I am just laughing behind the camera.










Here i am struggling to climb a rock.












These sheep look a little like they are part of the KKK, but Erik doesn't think so.










Here is the winner of the ugly lamp contest at the Kentucky State Fair. Pretty nasty huh?









Here is a picture of Erik and I on the Michigan side of Lake Michigan. We went there for a ward activity. It was a overcast day, but it was still fun to play in the lake.

Back in Idaho and Utah

This post will mostly be of pictures, because they are fun. I even have some Coral and Abbigail. They both have grown up so much since I have seen them last.Here is Abbi Jo and her famous smile. Looking good!









Here is Abbigail doing a leg kick. She did them for us for about half an hour. She is pretty good at them.





Here is all the produce we picked from mom's garden. It would feed a family of 4 for months. We took some of this to provo and shared with Chantille. My favorite part of picking the garden is when Erik threw a tomato off the side of the mountain, because it was dirty. Good thing he didn't do that with all the produce.




I love this picture of Coral. She has quite the cute pose. It was really good to see her again.














Here is a picture of Erik and Coral on Jaren's little scooter. I also tried it out. It was pretty cool. Coral really likes it.

Coral

I thought in order to get the full effect of Coral's anger I would turn the picture correctly. I don't want anyone to get a kinked neck trying to see her!

Pictures of family

Saturday we went on a boat tour with sarah and nate. It was great to see them and we went town down Saturday and Monday. Nate and I also both finished reading Harry Potter. On the boat tour we went out on Lake Michigan. It was really cool to see the skyline from a different prospective. We also went to the bean, which looks like a huge silver jellybean. See if you can find all of us in the picture. It was a great weekend and I am really glad that Nate and Sarah came. We also went to the Field Museum on Monday. We say a special display about Darwin. I learned a lot.

I thought I should update and show you all what we have been doing. Last week was the Smiley family reunion. We went to his pioneer village. Here are all the Smiley cousins (except Erik) riding on a small train. As you can see, there family is much smaller than ours. There is also a picture of a tracter. We rode on what they called a hay ride, but it was really just a tractor pulling trailer. There was no hay, but that is probably ok, because straw is itchy.

Baby Carson

Big Sister

After the delivery of Baby Carson, Coral walked by Chantille and bumped into the chair and said, "Baby brother hit me."
