HAPPY 9TH BIRTHDAY GARRETT


















Yes indeed it is Garrett Keith Mortensen's birthday today and man oh man am I shocked that I have a 9 year old. He has grown up so fast that I don't know where the time has gone. So in the theme of Jolynn's I am going to do the 9 things that we love about Garrett!!!

1. He is very affectionate. Garrett loves to show anyone around how he feels and when you least expect it he is right there to give you the best hug you have ever gotten.

2. He is artistic! Garrett is a very talented drawer. (if that is a word) he loves to draw dragons and is very good at it.

3. He is the best player of my hair. I can always call Garrett where ever he is in the house and ask him to play with my hair and he does it. I love it!!!!

4. He loves to read. He loves to read when it isn't homework. He has read so many books and continues to want more.

5. He is hardheaded! Yes, I know this isn't something that is usually looked at as good but for some reason people say he gets it from me.

6. He loves to cook. He loves to be around to make something if it is easy and I can always make the little things turn into something bug.

7. He loves his cousins. Garrett has and always will be a great cousin to all because he loves them all so much. He is always talking about them and loves the time he gets to spend with them.

8. He is a great friend. Whether it is at school, home, or anywhere he makes friends. He loves to be around people.

9. We love that he is apart of our family. Garrett adds the spice to our family whether it is through making us laugh or keeping us on our toes we will always be grateful to Heavenly Father for the gift he gave us in Garrett!!! We Love You Garrett!!!

    HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY GARRETT!!! We sure love you! I love all of neices and nephews but you have a special little spot in my heart! Maybe it's because of all of his hugs, or his sweet little smile. Whatever, it is I love Garrett and I can always count on him for a hug. Man I hope he still hugs me when he is 14:)
    We love you bud!!! Have a great day!

    Happy Birthday Garrett! I'm happy your mom listed some of the things that your family loves about you, that helps those of us who don't know you that well, get to know you better. I'm sure there are many, many more things she could have listed but for a 9 year old, 9is a pretty good number. Hope you had a great day!

    Wow, you're old enough to have a 9 year old? No way! He looks SO cute! And it's nice to enjoy your kids, no? And I'm sure you know exactly why people say he gets "it" from you, and I wouldn't have you any other way!
