Girls Camp!!

Here are most of the girls right before the bishop's challenge. They did awesome!

Playing in the rain!














Part of the bishop's challenge, pulling a bug by a rope!














Me doing the rope walk!



















Just sharing some of my mad bowhunting skills.



















Me and Brianna taking a break on the hike.














Heather and me on the bridge watching the girls do the rope walk.














Finally...a surprise visitor at 1 am. The girls heard a noise and were freaking out so I lifted us the tarp over the top of the door and a skunk was getting into our cooler and eating our cookies!! All the snacks in the cooler smelled like skunk after that! And, lucky us... he came back 2 more times for more!

Kickn' it in Show Low

We had a Darger family reunion in Show Low at my grandparent's cabin a few weekends ago.










The trip consisted of eating, games, holding the twins, playing on the water slide, paintball, riding quads, scrap booking, watching movies outdoors, horse shoe competition, canoing on the pond, catching frogs, a Darger family talent show and so much more!















Brett and I finally got to use our tent that we got for Christmas! Notice the little doggie tent attached to the back, pretty sweet! Cordie liked it at night until it started thundering then she jumped on top of our sleeping bags. Brett didn't love that part.







Here's my brother Spencer and my dog Cordie hangin' in the rain, there was singing too.











My grandparents also bought an awesome water slide thingy. Loads of fun!...it would have been funner if the hose water wasn't so cold!














Overall, the reunion was awesome and it was fun to see my peeps, but I was way sad everyone couldn't come.

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.

Caleb & Brigham

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!
