Happy Birthday, Garrett!

In honor of my son's eleventh birthday today, I decided to write 11 things about Garrett:

1. His middle name is Dennis which is also his dad's middle name and his grandfather's first name.
2. He is a very artistic child. One of his favorite things to do is draw and his drawings typically consist of drawing cars.
3. He has a very large collection of Hot Wheels, model cars and R/C cars. The model cars and R/C cars are displayed on shelves around his room.
4. He loves to run. Our neighbors call him Forrest Gump cause he keeps running and running and running.
5. He has been playing soccer since he was 4 years old.
6. He says some of the funniest things. The most recent one was that his most exciting thing he did the first day of school was go to the bathroom cause it got him out of class.
7. He has decided he wants to work at or own a car dealership cause then he can deal with only cool cars.
8. He is the spitting image of my brother Ben. In fact, many people think Garrett is Ben's son. AND he acts just like Ben did at that age :)
9. He was baptized this past year. Praise the Lord!
10. His favorite subject in school is math. His Gigi (my grandmother) will be so proud.
11. He is not an adventurous child. In fact, up until a few years ago, he was terrified of water/swimming pools. Garrett would much rather watch other be daring then to try it himself.

We love him anyways :)

Happy birthday, buddy! We love you and are so very proud of you.
