GARRETT'S 12TH BIRTHDAY

Garrett and his friends hanging before heading to Extreme Air Sports

 Garrett wanted a "purple" cake....it looks awfully pink. Sorry Garrett. They sure loved it!

 Opening presents. Sitting with his friends Aaron and Kaden.

 Garrett sure enjoyed doing some trapeze moves at the gym. Little monkey.

 Everyone hanging from the rock wall.

 This truly was a boys "Disneyland" being able to jump, swing, hop, and leap. AWESOME.

Garrett did some sweet moves. Out of an 1 1/2 there, he probably was on this trapeze rope for an hour. He LOVED it. I can't believe my baby is 12. He is growing up so quickly and turning into a little teenager. Does the baby ever get to really be their age? I don't believe so. He never got to watch Barney, or look at little books or play with little toys because his older brothers would make fun of him. He has always acted older than his age and enjoyes hanging out with kids older than himself. He is such a tender boy. He is such a good mix of Jeff and I. He is calm and tender spirited like Jeff, and very much a people person like his mom. He is enjoying evolving into his own person and it was so fun to be able to teach him at school this year and watch his interaction with his peers. It truly was priceless as I have never worked with my other boys in elementary. This next year, Garrett will be in Junior High and will continue to grow. I love you Garrett and appreciate everything you are and represent. Thank you for knowing who you are and for staying loyal to that. You are a great example to others. Thank you for continueing to be "my baby" and allowing me to snuggle you still. Here's to another birthday. I hope it was a great one. I love you.
