Hey Gang!
Can you believe Roary is in the 4th grade...we can't! AND she'll hit the double digits in two weeks (10)! OMG! Where does the time go? She is getting so tall and so, uhhhmmm...how do you say...SASSY! You would think she was 20 and Lord knows Christian and I have never been 10 so how is the world could we understand the issues in her world??? OH the drama! :-) I just have to laugh cause I can remember doing the same exact things she does, she is so ME it is ridiculous but really funny at the same time. I wish my mom was here so I could apologize profusely for the way I acted cause man am I paying for it 10 fold. LOL!
As for Belly, she is still Large Marge, who is definitely in charge. It's her way or the highway. It is so comical to watch such a little person have such a big attitude. But at the same time, she is so sweet and loving. She still favors her daddy over anybody and doesn't let him get far. And sure doesn't let him share hugs or kisses with me or Roar. She blows her top if we get anywhere near him, that's her dad and she isn't sharing. Everything else of hers you could have, but dad - NO! She still dances and sings all the time, just like Roar. I wish I could put up a hidden camera in to record the two of them gettin jiggy wit it. It's too precious!
"Go Go" as Smelly calls her (our Aupair/nanny), will be starting back to school in October. She has met many friends and has been getting to actually have fun on weekends. In addition to making my life easy. I come home and the kids are happy, the house is clean and laundry is done. What more could a girl ask for...a super nanny that cleans is pretty much top of my list. I would take that over diamonds any day! :-) But don't tell Christian I said that.
C had sinus surgery yesterday and is recovering well, hopefully this will eliminate all or most of the sinus/allergy issues he struggles with daily. Bless him! Me, I'm just livin the good life. Lovin my family and the simplicities in life, such as my children laughing and singing, my husband being goofy but adorable, and my sweet Aupair making my life less stressful. Good Health and a great family is all I need. What a Blessed life I lead! I pray this finds you all well! Keep checkin in for the latest updates on the Garretts.

It's been a while!
Hey Gang!
It's been a while since our last post. Not much is going on in the world of the Garrett's. WE spent weekend before last at the Garrett Farm in Burkville, Texas (way down yonder in the Paw paw patch). A good time was had by all, other than sleeping with one eye open in the bunkhouse (hoping nothing furry or insecty crawled under the covers with ya)we had fun. We went boating on Taledo Bend Lake and hung out on a private beach, then road Uncle Scott's go cart/dune buggy around the property which was a blast. It was great to just chill out and enjoy the Hot HOT weather and great family fellowship.
Bella Louella aka Large Marge who is definitely in charge is all over the place and is sooooo much fun. She can say half of her ABC's and count to 3 and sings songs all the time. If you didn't know better you would think the 16month old was at least 2, not just by her language and communication abilities but also by her 28lbs. frame. She keeps us smiling and running!
Roar is getting ready for school which is right around the corner. She will be in the 4th grade, if you can believe it. She wears a size 7 woman's shoe and last measurement she was at my nose so I'm sure it won't be long before she towers over me.
Christian went to London a couple of weeks ago and was headed to Alaska this week. I am not sure if he'll go ahead and make the trip though, we woke up Sunday morning and his truck was missing from the drive way and the thieves damaged my car trying to get it out, it was between our boat and my car. Along with the heartbreak of his brand new truck being stolen, his custom ordered Titleist AP2 golf clubs where in the truck as well. What a horrible feeling to walk out and discover your belongings missing. We weren't the only ones that got hit, apparently the car thieves went around the neighborhood stealing Toyota's and what they couldn't hot wire they stripped clean. Having something taken from you (in your own driveway) is one thing, but then dealing with the inconvenience of replacing it, time and money spent to file reports and claims is just ridiculous. Anyway, we are all okay and that's what matters most. It's steal heartbreaking but I guess life goes on.
Other than that drama,we are working on Smelly Belly's room (we had just went to Lowe's Saturday and stocked up on paint and supplies spending money we had put off spending for three months and of course thieves got all that in the truck too). But what we did get unloaded and done in her room looks good, I'll send pics when we are done. Well I'll go for now. Scroll down and check out the latest pics of the girls. Hope everyone is well. Love to all!
Cheers!
