Little man turns 4!!!!

December third 2004 was the most single influential day of my life!  It was the day I became a father, the day I held an infant in my hands knowing that he was a gift to Annie and I and we were responsible for him.  My life is more full because of my children and I love them both dearly.  Garret turned 4 this past week and it was a struggle for me.  I stayed home with the kids for three days while Annie worked.  MAY GOD BLESS ALL STAY AT HOME PARENTS AND THOSE WHO WATCH CHILDREN DAILY.  My lovely children drove me up a wall, especially Garret.  

So bright and early on Garret's birthday he woke up and wanted to open his gifts.  Prior to his birthday Garret said, "Daddy, I don't want any underwear for my birthday."  So you can imagine what I bought him, and I made him open up the underwear first!  Then I made him pose for this picture before he could open toy's!  Maybe I was asking for trouble after doing this to him, but I laughed!

It has been said that you can see the soul of a person through their eyes.  In this picture of Garret's eye I see the soul of a kid full of life and love.  I am proud of my son and the type of person he is growing up to be.  Love ya Garret!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was great this year.  No food fights, not too much yelling or screaming and good times with family!  The kids are growing way to quickly for my taste but I cant wait till they are older.  Ah, the days of no more diapers and no more potty training.  These are the things my dreams are made of!

Garret loves school and is a complete ham during plays.  At the halloween play he laid down.  At the Thanksgiving play he sang louder than anyone else and was his normal ACTIVE self.

COR TURNS 2!!!!!!

LOL

We love our cousin/nephew Cor!  He is now two years old and full of life.  This little man is growing fast and it is great to watch him play with Garret and Grace!

Bekah and Dave, remember when you painted Garret's finger nails?  Remember how much I didn't like it?  Remember your trip to Mexico recently and how I watched Cor for a little bit of time?

So Sorry Cor for posting this picture, but you didn't really care much about anything other than McQueen!
