• HAPPY BIRTHDAY GARRETT!!!

  
  

  Sept. 13, 2006

  
  

  We had so much fun!  Stan had the morning off, so we started the day off with Mickey Mouse pancakes...Garrett thought it was pretty fun to eat his ears off. 

  
  

  

  
  

  

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

  
  

   

  
  

  

  
  

  We were going through Logan's hats the other day as we've had some cooler weather and Garrett found this one that "fits" (it was actually the hat he had from the hospital) and he wears it all the time.  We think its pretty funny. 

  
  

  

  
  

   Here he is practicing two!

  
  

   After breakfast it was off to presents.  Thanks to all who sent donations for the cause of making his day extra special.

  
  

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   Garrett is really big into trains right now, so we kind of had a "train" theme for his birthday.  Stan made train tracks running down our stairs to his new present...a train table and tracks!

  
  

  

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

  Garrett loved his day and we loved it too...he spent the entire day, less 4 hours (his nap and eating his cake with friends) playing downstairs with his trains.

  
  

  THE CAKE

  
  

  

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   
  

  
  

  
    You may be asking yourself what this is...well, its a train cake despite what it may look like.  An engine, pulling a coal car.

  
  

  

  
  

  

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   
    So, Garrett had an enjoyable birthday and it was just an awesome day.  We all enjoyed ourselves immensely!

  
  

  We went with some friends to a botanical garden the other day and let the kids run wild.  Logan is doing better about sleeping on the go, so it was quite enjoyable.  Garrett ran, Logan slept and Stan and I actually got to talk to each other and play too!

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

  
  Garrett and Naomi had a blast playing together, they followed each other everywhere!  They even had to sit on the stroller together...three kids + car seat + stroller = good work out for Lynnsey

  
  

  

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

  

  
  

  Logan enjoyed himself also

  
  

  

  
  

  Here is Garrett saying cheese and Naomi freaking out about the spider on the bench

  Clown day at Crown Center

  
  

  

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

  

  
  

  After visiting the clowns we stopped at the fountains across the street

  
  

  

  
  

  

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

  
  We also visited Weston Bend State Park (about a 20 min. drive) one morning and went on a walk

  
  

  

  
  

  Logan along for the ride

  
  

  

  
  

  Random Pictures...as if you haven't seen enough already!

  
  

   

  
  

  

  
  

  

  
  

   We found this hat, cleaning out the closet...Garrett enjoyed running around in it

  
  

  

  
  

  Garrett fell asleep a little while ago eating his lunch!  I went in the other room to change Logan and came back to this...

  
  

  

  
  

  Here is a recent attempt at a photo shoot with the boys...notice how it goes

  
  

  

  
  

  Garrett smiling, Logan yawning

  
  

  

  
  

  Garrett smiling, Logan about to cry

  
  

  

  
  

  Garrett smashing his nose into Logan

  
  

  So..I decide to try again but this time on the floor so Garrett doesn't have to hold Logan

  
  

  

  
  

  Garrett "smiling" Logan staring off into space

  
  

  

  
  

  Garrett staring off into space, Logan smiling.

  
  

  So, despite all of my attempts..I never got a picture with both of them smiling.

  
  

  

  
  

  Here's one for you mom....I don't think his legs have filled out too much...what do you think?

  
  

  We are good!  Life is fun!  Stan is in Internal Medicine this month and is learning a lot from his docor.  Logan is sleeping through the night, yipee and Garrett wakes up at the crack of dawn (not so much fun).  We are looking forward to a much needed visit with the Kimballs come October and hopefully we'll be able to visit others sometime soon!  Love you all...if you ever want to make yourself in the neighborhood of KCMO we would love to have you!
