REVENGE

I finally got my revenge Saturday night. I stole Scottie's bed (which is a hide-a-bed couch) and put it in the back of his truck and hid his truck from him. It was quite an adventure to get the couch up the stairs and out the door, but with Lance, Ashley, and Wyatt helping we made it. I sent Travis to go hide his truck while Wyatt, Ashley and I toilet papered his room. By the way, when I got there, his mom said he could possibly be home in 15-20 minutes so we were in a bit of a rush. Anyway, I left him a sign that said, "I know it's been driving you crazy and I'd hate for you to lose any more sleep over it so may answer is..." and on the other side of the poster it said "Not coming that easily. Your first clue is..." and I gave him the first clue for the scavenger hunt thing to find his truck. I wrote, " There's NO WAY I won't go to homecoming with you!" on his truck windows. Oh, and i left him some candy just to be nice.

Scottie got home not long after we left so I stayed with Ashley because I knew he'd expect me to help him put his bed back because I made him wash my car. I waited at Ashley's house until he finally pulled up in his truck. He didn't get out of his truck so we went out to talk to him. He didn't say anything. He just glared at me and wouldn't even smile. I thought he was just kidding me but he never broke. I didn't think I'd been that mean but he made me feel so guilty!!! We went back to his house to put his bed back. Travis and Lance turned on us and made me and Ashley move the couch all by ourselves. Scottie still never smiled the whole time we pitifully tried to get his bed back down the stairs. He was really starting to scare me.

Well, we finally got his bed put back and most of the toilet paper out of the way after like 40 minutes. Scottie just went and laid on his bed and still wouldn't talk to me. I didn't want to just leave with him like that so I just waited there until he would talk to me. He finally just started laughing and said he was just kidding me. He actually thought it was pretty funny but he wanted to give me a guilt trip since I had given him such a hard time about washing the butter off my car. It worked! I told him to never do that to me again and we both had a good laugh about it.

Anyways, it was quite fun stealing his bed and his truck and trashing his room.

STINKING BOYS!!!

So today after school, mom totally shewed (if that's a word) me out of the house to go watch chett and gale for a little while. This being just a couple weeks away from homecoming, I was quite suspicous. Then mom told me to take the van and not my car. That totally gave it all away. I was reluctant to leaved my car, being afeared of just what might happen to it in my absense. It has been needing a wash, but i decided to wait a while before i bothered just because i figured something might happen to it anyway.

When I showed up at Cheryl's house, both Cheryl and Eric had goofy grins on their faces. Hah, that wasn't suspicious at all. I was tempted to call Scottie's phone while I was at Cheryl's and ask him if he was done sabatoging my car yet, but i decided not to ruin his fun.

Sure enough, when i got home, my car was up on blocks with all four tires missing and smeared with butter. Surprise, surprise:) Then there was candy all over my room. I didn't mind the candy part so much-at least it tastes good-but i wasn't too excited about cleaning the butter off my car.

A few minutes later, Scottie recieved a nasty phone call from me. He and Lance came back, the kind gentlemen that they are, to put the tires back on my car and return it to its proper place on the ground. I demanded that they wash it as well. They weren't too excited about that. But with the help of Eric removing the fuses out of Scottie's truck so he could not escape, we got them to help wash the butter off.

Now, i get to come up with some way to get my revenge. I want something extreme!!! so if you have any ideas, PLEASE let me know:)

Me and My Roommates

Here are some pictures of me and my five roommates. They are Mandee, Katie, Cami, Taresa, and Ashla. On Sunday we went to the gardens and had a photo shoot. As you can tell we had lots of fun. These are some of my favorites.

Roomates: Ashla and I

This semester is my second year of college.

It has been a blast so far. I am now roommates with my best friend, Ashla!

We have wonderful adventures and random fun times together, as you can tell and imagine!

She is a music major and I am an art major. So yes, we are pretty stressed out as are all college students I'm sure, but we still have fun! She practices her music with her little piano and does her vocal exercises and I practice my Spanish. So it makes for some interesting times:)

BFF's

me...prepping for school! strenuous!
me in my room. Something was wrong with my knee.

Ashla LOVES her classes! She was beaming when she came back from the book store and found showed me her books. I just had to take a picture!

Wyatt's Birthday

Wyatt woke us all up at 7 in the morning so he could open his presents. He got chocolate mild straws from Marylynn. Mom gave him blue boots, black wranglers, and a fancy belt&buckle. Bryant gave his a ring pop and blue bubble gum.


Wyatt got to talk to Levi on the phone.
Anena came to the party via web cam. That was lots of fun! It was good to see her.

We could not forget the Spanking Machine.

Wyatt wanted a bus cake because that is his favorite part of school.

Wyatt's best buddy Nathan came over for the party along with all three of Wyatt's nephews: Jaxon, Chett and Gale. It was quite a roudy party:)

I-Night

I-Night

I- night is a big event that happens at the beginning of each semester at BYU-Idaho. There are tons of activities. Levi and I went with a small group of friends and we had a blast!

Some of the events we tried were: laser tag, rock climbing, balloon shaving, ball toss, frog jump, bungee run, wheel chair basketball, tug-a-war, dating game, comic frenzy, cherry/whip cream game, and probably more. We decided to pass on a few like sumo wrestling, bull ridding, and twirly dizzy getting rides.

The group we went with.

Levi, MaryLynn, Cami, Sydney and Mandee in the front.

Here we are!

This was an interesting one. They have a cherry and then squirt whipped cream over it and you have to dig for the cherry with your tongue. Then we had a race to see who could eat their whip cream the fasted. We all felt a little ill afterwards:)

Me and two of my roommates getting a little crazy while waiting in line for wheel chair basketball.

Wheel chair basketball. Levi doing some blocking.

Levi and I on the bungee run. It was well a little strenuous but fun. Levi beat me every time of course! I think I did a back flip thing once when the bungee pulled be back. It kinda hurt!

It was a I-night to remember!

A Birthday Wish for Wyatt

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WYATT!

Wyatt, I hope you have a fantastic day!

Have fun being 6!

A little gift for you something you love!

Chocolate Milk :)

Wish I could be there to help with your school bus cake, but can't wait to see pictures of it! I bet it will be awesome!

Love and miss you,

MaryLynn

We Made It to BYU-I

Hello Everybody!

This is MaryLynn. Greeting from Rexburg! Well, Levi and I are here (in Rexburg at the BYU-I that is)! It was a long drive but we are so excited to be back! It was wonderful when we saw the temple in view, I can't wait to go there. So after an 8+ hour drive, we dropped of the stuff at my apartment. My old roomate Mandee was there and it was great to see her again. We are rooming together along with Ashla and some other girls. Then we went to Levi's apartment and dropped of his stuff. Three of his roommates were there, they were all freshman. They seem nice so that is good for him. He said it was weirder to come back than the first time! It is so fun to have him here too. Heidi....next year! Ashla will be here tomorrow, I can't wait.

Then we ventured to the lovely local grocery store Brolums and gave one of Levi's roommates a ride too. Fun, fun, we bought food and such. Ya know stuff like Berry Colosal crunch. hum sounds like some good dinner with a little peanut butter on it. hehe. It is chilly here, but no snow yet...maybe tomorrow:) I am quite tired from staying up way late packing, so I don't think I will venture on anything too exciting tonight. It was fun talking with Mandee and catching up and making some fun plans for the semester.

I am having a goal to be more outgoing, social, and friendly. Hopefully having a year of college behind me...not being a freshman will help. I think Levi was a little sad that he wouldn't have Bryant pestering him that it was time to go to bed :) haha. Heidi can't wait tell you are here! Are you surviving the um brothers?

Well, I guess I should go unpack and such, and eat, and sleep. I am way tired!

Well, Love you all family and miss you.

Talk to you later. Post some pics with the sheep!

P.S. Wyatt, how are the straws?

Coming Soon....

Coming up soon on What-in-the-wide-world-gardners....

So, um...What's for dinner?

So we were thinkin'

Wyatt's Flying Tricks

Passing the Torch

and

A Peachy Time in the Kitchen

There going to be great, so be sure not to miss them.

Little Wonderous Wyatt goes to School

Wyatt's First Day of School

A little worried, but happy and excited too!

Wyatt started kindergarten a few weeks ago. It ended up that he started a week later than the high school. He was all ready to go when they did, but after waiting another week he told mom he wasn't so sure about it.

The first day mom stayed with him, maybe more for her comfort than for his. :) He has done just fine at school and mom has done okay home alone too. :) He has shown his artistic abilities and imagination. Everyday when asked how school was he says, "Great!" He is making new friends, but to his dismay has not yet learned how to read. How long does that take anyways?

His second day of school, getting on the bus.

When we asked him what his favorite part of school was, he exclaimed, "Riding the Bus!"

Back to School!

Back to School cake!

Summer is ending and school is begining!

How do you feel about school?

Heidi: 'Ugh stressful!'

Bryant: 'Aaaaahhhhhahaha!' (maybe because of girls, or is it the math homework?)

Wyatt: 'I don't know, I havn't been there yet.' (and those were his exact words)

Random Summer Fun

Well, as you know we the Gardner's have some pretty fun time. There are lots of things we have done this Summer. It's been pretty eventful...making food creations, surprise creatures on the counter, working in a jungle of weeds, being attached by pumpkin plants, sister getting married, brother returning from his mission, Wyatt being Wyatt and the list goes on. Here are some pictures of some of the things we have done. Each has it's one story with in itself, so I'll just briefly tell about each one... because "A pictures worth a thousand words."

Time for a Rodeo

Wyatt and his best friend Nathan having a Rodeo of their own out in the yard.
They had many events, barrel racing, bull riding, calf roping, and some they made up themselves.

My favorite was when they would have their horses attach each other. Looks like they are getting ready for that event right here!

Eventually Wyatt found his boots and was styling in his shorts with boots fashion.

Sheep Joys!

Of course the summer just wouldn't be the same with out working with the sheep and getting them ready for the lamb show. Wahoo!

Here they are taking them for a walk/run/drag. Bryant made Wyatt take the big one, which weighs at least twice as much as him, and Bryant took the little one. Bryant claims that, "the big one is calmer." Well from the looks of the picture Bryant's lamb seems to have escaped him, causing um...a little stress on his part. :)

Well, looks like Wyatt can handle them both! He's pretty tough, like his big brother Levi! Notice, he is once again in his favorite style (boots w/ shorts).

Fun with the nephews

Gale, Chett, and Jaxon!

Sweet Jaxon!

Playing cowboys.

Making apple pie of course!

Lookin' good Chett:)

Gale with some Root beer... well actually it's just water. (For you Anena)

Swinging in Grandma's yard.

Buggy Rides

Inside

and out!

Fun at the Park

Wow Wyatt! We are all amazed he is almost six and hasn't broken a bone with how crazy he is!

The sister...and Wyatt. He insisted on being in the picture, that's okay.

Wiggle Racers

Have you ever ridden a wiggle racer? Well, they are awesome. We have all, young and old, big and small, had a lot of fun on them.

Looky here, even dad got on one. I think Wyatt won him in the race. Once when the home teachers came, Wyatt made them try them too!

And More Fun Times

Brain Freeze from the smoothy eating contest. Actually, I think Bryant and Wyatt were the only ones who were trying to eat them fast. We just wanted to see them get brain freezes. Mean of us huh!

Um...Bryant doing "Walk Power Walk" I wasn't supposed to put this on the blog, oops!

Too bad we didn't get any pics of us doing Yoga!

Three little cowboys, and one sleeping dad cowboy.

Bryant and his blue violin. Yes, that made the summer um entertaining. :)
Pudding fight, during a cream poof making session.

Well I hope you enjoyed seeing some more of our Summer fun. It has been quite the summer, as you can tell, we keep ourselves entertained somehow. There may not be a lot to do in Enterprise, or on tumbleweed lane. So we make our own fun, and as you can tell, we do have fun, at times maybe more than we should! :)
