Turning 10

Can't believe my baby boy turned 10. We actually celebrated his birthday it seems like all month. We started out by celebrating with Spendlove's with his cousin Miranda when we all got together over Memorial Day at the cemetary. What is a get together without the cousins trying to beat up uncle Khayden? While we were up visiting that weekend we gave Garrett our present to him...a new bike. He was so excited he had to start riding it immediately at Grandma's house. On his real birthday since we had done cake twice he decided he wanted to do rootbeer beer floats so he blew out a candle in his rootbeer float. We then watched a movie on his birthday. For his birthday this year instead of a party Garrett decided to go to Lagoon with his family. He had never been to Lagoon and he took Connor with him. Kylie is scared of everything so we left her with Grandma. They loved this ride the scrambler and went on it like four or five times. They were actually pretty brave and went on most of the rides in lagoon. They had seen this tube ride on youtube before we went and were really excited to go on it. They wanted to go on it over and over and of course getting me more and more wet. Connor couldn't go on it by himself so he had to take me with him on it so I just kept getting wet. I think Garrett had an awesome birthday. He is such a great kid and we are priveleged to have him as our son. He really is getting to be that point in his life where he is a help to us. He has started to mow the lawn this year. We love that :) He loves going to scouts and excels at school. He has a lot of friends and is a very happy outgoing kid. He plays well (most of the time) with his brother and when you get the two of them in the room talking about Pokemon I swear they are speaking a different language. He really is such a great boy and I couldn't ask for a better kid!!!
