Dad (Brett)
All around rockstar geek. Brett enjoys his job as a Clinical Data Manager (helping research medical breakthroughs at Celgene); in his time off he enjoys reading books, watching movies, and learning new tricks on his camera and in Photoshop. He absolutely adores his wife and 2 daughters.

Mom (Erin)
Complete supermom. Erin loves her job as a Youth Field Researcher (aka 'mother'); in her plentiful spare time (ha!) she enjoys sleeping, re-reading Twilight or Harry Potter, and cuddling with Brett.

Aeriana ('Wacko', 'Princess')
Hybrid Angel/Devil. Aeriana loves her mommy and daddy, each of whom she loves to test at times and pretend innocence at others. A veritable sponge, Aeriana wants to do anything she sees an adult doing; she loves babies and especially adores her little sister, taking great care of her every need.

Zoe Jean ('Stinker', 'Cutie')
Growing fast, Zoe wants to be just like her big sister. Very goal oriented, she'll find a way to get that toy she's been looking at. She loves her pacifier and can't help but snuggle up to her blanket. Zoe is as relaxed as they come, she just loves chillin' out and watching TV.

Family of Four

Welcome to the world Zoe! Isn't it awful that's she is almost six months old by the time we're getting this posted?

(Because we've gotten so many questions about Zoe's name, we wanted to clarify for people who can't hear our pronunciation - we pronounce her name 'zo-EE'; we were surprised to hear how many people pronounce "Zoe" as "Zo" without the hard 'E' sound on the end).



Grandma Etter spent a week with us and helped us get used to being a family of four. Aeriana loved spending time with Grandma. Zoe also really enjoyed the constant attention.

Grandma and Grandpa Garner (and Uncle Riley) surprised us and were at our apartment when we got home from the hospital. We walked in the door and they were just sitting on the couch hanging out. We just stood there with our mouths wide open shocked. It was awesome!


The start of a great friendship. Aeriana giving "loves"

Uncle Jason and Aunt Christine came up to see Zoe too. It was a party at the Garner house!


The week Zoe was born we took Aeriana out on a special date just the three of us (while Grandma Etter got some special bonding time with Zoe) and Aeriana got a special bear named Bubblegum. And of course she picked out a pink bear. (man i look exhausted... well i was, and sick to boot!)

The following weekend we got to see Matt, Renee, and baby Jaeden for General Conference. Jaeden and Zoe are only a month apart but when they are this little a month is a lot!

A few weeks later Grandpa Etter came down to help my brother move and got a chance to stop by and see Zoe. I'm so glad he got an opportunity to see her.

Halloween was lots of fun. Aeriana understood trick-or-treating this year and loved picking out candy. It was so cute to see her going from place to place getting candy. She loved it!

Daddy and his girls. The man couldn't be happier.

A month later Aeriana was still loving being a big sister. Thankfully that still hasn't changed - they adore each other.
Sunday outfits.They are so cute!

I LOVE their matching outfits, and I LOVE that picture of you three in the hospital. In fact I'm tempted to print it out and take it with me to the hospital to try and recreate it. Super cute.
