Fact, we have grass. Fact, we have a dog.

We finally got grass put in our back yard! Here are a few pics. For those of you who haven't ever been to our house you'll see I wasn't kidding when I said our backyard is small!

If you couldn't tell it's actually not real grass, it's that artificial turf stuff. So we never have to mow, water or pull weeds! It is just such a small area and we didn't have a lawn mower and we didn't want to put in a sprinkler system...so fake grass!

Now that we have grass instead of dirt we can bring our dog Cordie home!! My parents have been letting her live at their house for about 3 years now, just until we finished school, got a house, put the landscaping in, installed a doggie door...you know, just for a little while. We decided it was finally time to bring her home. I'm not going to post any pictures of Cordie yet because we took her camping and she got all kinds of stuff stuck in her fur so pretty much just shaved her.

For the past 2 weeks we've practically been shoving her through the doggie door to get her to use it. When she's desperate enough she'll come in through the doggie door but she won't go outside through it without a little shove from us. When her hair grows out more I post some pics of her.

Rocky 2, Dec. 23, 2007- June 12, 2008

Yesterday we had a loss in the Garner house. Rocky 2 died in his bowl during the night. For those of you who were not able to attend the burial, we posted a video of the ceremony.

Rocky 3 coming soon...

Hangin' with the Boys!

On Fridays I go over to my sister Alison's and watch her boys so she can take a nap. Preston is 2 and her twins are 8 weeks. Here are some pictures from today.

Brigham Preston in the birdcage, he liked it I promise.

Happy Mothers Day!!

Today we went out to Brett's parent's house in Gilbert because his brother was calling from his mission in South Africa. He is doing well and it was good to talk to him.

Brett's parent's have a a dirt road behind their house and while we were there 10 of their neighbors cows got out and came down the road to the Garner's. Then the cows ran out onto Ray Road and split up. Half went toward Val Vista and the rest headed toward Lindsay. So we all jumped in our cars to try and round them up. Traffic had to pretty much stop because the cows were running all over the street! Then the cops showed up to make sure no one hit a cow and to help us round them up.


This is after half of the cows were rounded up and we got them to go back down the dirt road. I felt like I should be on a horse and have a lasso.

D-Backs!!

Brett and I went to a Diamond backs game against the San Francisco Giants. The seats were awesome! 2nd row between first base and right field, thanks for the tickets Dad! The D-backs totally won so it was a good game to go to. The people in front of us were totally drunk and got louder the more they drank. They were heckling the Giant's right fielder, it was awesome!

More Pictures

Here are the pictures of our family room. I took a couple so you get the full effect.

The Long Awaited Pictures

Believe it or not I finally updated our blog!! Below is a slide show of our house. There aren't any pictures of the outside or the family room. maybe I'll post those in about 6 months. J/K I'll try and post them soon. Brett and I are doing well. We are both working a ton and Brett is super busy with school. Besides that, there is nothing to report. Hopefully, we will get the landscaping in our back yard done by the end of the month so we can bring our little doggie home.
