50th Wedding Anniversary Party

Here are a few pictures of the night of Mark's parents 50th wedding anniversary.  Family is always fun to be around.  Just like Uncle Rob teaching Trevor the basics of life.
 Travis looked so sharp in his orage tie.  See the beanbag toss in the background that the boys helped Mark with?  They turned out great.
 Grandma Sandy's wedding dress.  Wow, she wasn't very big.  I think she was under 100 pounds when she got married.

50th Anniversary Boat Pictures

Before Mark's parents 25th Wedding Anniversary, the family did a picture on the boat.  We did the same thing again but this time on the 50th Wedding Anniversary. 
 Happy 50th Mom and Dad, we love you very much!
 Below is the picture redone 25 years later.

Family Reunion 2012 Lake Tahoe

It's that time of year again where the Gardner Family Reunion gets rolling.  This year Tim and Julie Logan were in charge and they put together a great few days and nights at Lake Tahoe at Camp Richardson.  The cousins just love to play and never stop.  Good times!
 There were many things to do, anywhere from riding bikes, hiking, and roasting marshmallows.
 One day we hiked up to this little lake that cars can't drive in to.  It was so beautiful and we all had a great time. 
 The annual auction is always a big hit.  Kendra made scarfs that two of her uncles bought.  You know they love her when they buy a scarf from her.
 Travis wrote a story and Uncle Rob had him come up while he auctioned it off.  I can just see Travis' face.  He was so proud and felt so special.
 Trevor wrote a book too.  These boys are so great.
 And of course the potato sack race. 
 Here Mark, Lisa, and Scott are working on their cobbler cook off.  I think Grandma Sandy and Grandpa Gardner chose one that was full of chocolate as the winner. 
 When you are in Lake Tahoe, what would a vacation be without a day at the beach?
 All three kids sleeping the our new pop up tent trailer.  Katy really loves this thing, while Mark like it, but not so much camping.

Uncle Kevin Rocks!

Whenever Uncle Kevin comes to town, the kids know something fun and crazy will happen.  Like rolling inside a tire in the store, or just hanging around on the monkey bars.  All good times.

Father's Day

There is nothing better than a day that is all about you.  Who wouldn't love these three kids and the special things they come up with to get you for Fathers' Day.

A Little Beach Time

One of our favorite things to do is hang out at the beach.  It signals summer is here and that we have time to really spend together.

Preparing for Grandparents 50th Wedding Anniversary

Mark was asked to make a couple of boards for a beanbag toss at the 50th party.  Travis and Trevor got into the action and helped paint it.  They turned out great.

End of Spring Sports

The end of spring sports is bitter sweet for Mom and Dad.  It means we now have some more time as a family without having to be somewhere, but it also means Katy has to make something, right?  She made this AWESOME field, hat and ball.  Look at Travis' hat on the bottom and how well Katy's cake turned out.  She also won the best cake at the end of year baseball party for the entire league.  Way to go Katy.
 Trevor and Kendra each had a small little party to get their medal as well as a cool bag.  They are such great kids to have on any team.  Way to go you two.

Riverview Elementary Talent Show

Kendra and her friends got to end the talent show with the cheer of their school song or chant.  It was cool to hear them start it and then have everyone join in with them.  Way to go girls!
