Happy Birthday Garrett!!!

I can't believe it's been three years since Garrett was born! He bring such joy and excitement to us that it's hard to remember our lives without him. Since February is a hard month to plan an outdoor party I thought bowling would be a fun indoor party to have. So that is what we finally decided to do.

Garrett had never been bowling like this and at first wasn't too sure what we were going to do. We kept telling him his friend Dylan was going to be there so he would be excited. Off to the bowling alley we went...




This is Dylan, Garrett little friend from school. I'm not big on inviting friends at this age, but these two are seriously inseparable at school. They have been together at school since they were 3 or 4 months old and I swear have a love/hate relationship. One day they are fighting and hitting each other and the next they are the best of friends. Even when they are picking on each other you can't keep them apart. So I decided one friend would be fun and it was!

Gannon loved the party because he got to do his two favorite things - hangout with Grandma and eat! Now that he is walking he thought that should have been good enough to bowl. He wanted so bad to walk around where all the big people were.

Garrett and Dylan were very patient and took turns to bowl. They of course had bumpers and there were a few times that Dylan's mom or I would have to throw a ball so that their ball that was stuck would go the rest of the way. A little more muscle was needed!

Kendra made Garrett another amazing birthday cake. The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse of course. Garrett loved it. Well actually, everyone did.

Daddy told him to say "cheese" so he did!

Garrett was opening his presents with close supervision by Gannon!
