I can, no matter what you're trying to say, tell you that you have をみています incorrect because you wrote みてをいます.

I'm trying to say, "Here in the garden, mother, Hanako, and Masao are looking at a book together."

Can you tell me where I erred badly and implied I am there too? Should I have written が instead of は? Also, it's をみています, not みてをいます?
