G:Giving. Garrett loves to share with his brother and sister. Just this morning, Garrett said he was going to use his birthday money to buy Christopher a Mariokart (so they could play together) and a matching shirt like the one he got for his birthday!
A: Adventurous. Garrett will try anything. He loves the BIG roller coaster rides and was so excited that he was tall enough to go on them at DisneyWorld! He loved seeing the alligator cross in front of us this spring break. He wanted to go touch it. He probably was close...because he was cut out of the picture.
R: Remembers. Garrett has a great memory. He can memorize numbers like you wouldn't believe. He knows all the scores from the Rockets/Jazz playoffs LAST year. He knows what the score was for the Astros game that he went to for his birthday LAST year. He knows the scores for ALL the teams in his baseball division and what place they are in. He knows all the neighbors street addresses. Not just a few but all 80+ neighbors. That was the strangest one for me! Garrett, one day that memory will be a blessing to you! He reminds me of Russell Crowe in this movie.
R: Reader. Garrett has turned into a fabulous reader this year. At the beginning of the year, he was so far behind that they thought he would have to go to a special reading class but his wonderful teacher had faith in him and now he is way above average.
E: Excels. Garrett excels at everything he tries. He has Loved playing baseball this year and played a great season of basketball. Sometimes I forget that he is younger than Christopher.
T: Tease. Garrett has his dad's sense of humor and he loves to tease us and get us laughing. He loves to turn the music up and dance around the house. He loves to laugh and keeps our home a happy one. Sometimes he just says the craziest things!
T: Testimony. Garrett has a testimony of Jesus Christ and he tries hard to follow the commandments and corrects us if we try to do something wrong. I love teaching his class at church and listening to him share his testimony.
Garrett, we love you and are happy that you are in our family!
Love,
Dad, Mom, Christopher and Madelyn

Happy 7th Birthday Big Gar!!
Rob, Kristen, Aubrie, Ashlyn, Ethan and Paige
what a sweet tribute! garrett is a great kid! he probably remembers the time i bought ice cream on sunday and invited you to dinner on sunday... and something about the cops... and where did he get that memeory from? have you seen kristin's baby on her blog? she is too cute.
He's such a sweet boy! That is a crazy memory he's got and I'm pretty sure he didn't get it from you. You should take him to Vegas or something.
that is so sweet...great idea! (can i steal for the boys' birthdays coming up this summer?...no, not the funky baseball cupcakes though they'd be a sure hit, but the acronym...)
