Garret's Six : pick up sticks




Another birthday comes again. Garret turned 6 years old on Dec. 7th. Time flies when you are having fun. Garret has been just a fun little boy to have around. He is all boy and loves to be active. He lately has been into Pokemon which I don't know how that started. He wanted a cinnammon rolls and orange rolls for breakfast.Mom had to get up early to get that done to have breakfast in bed like a king. He wanted a Pokemon cake and spaghetti for dinner. Once again a birthday falls on a school day which makes me run for my money. We quickly came home and the girls baked a second cake for Garret.(i baked one to share at school)I made dinner and Grandpa Manwaring came and brought meatballs, little smokies, ice cream, and lemons(Garret's favorite). We ate birthday dinner without Dad who ended up working late. He showed up just in time to sing to Garret. Grandma and Grandpa Peterson came over to wish him Happy Birthday which was so sweet, even if he had his head buried in a new DS game. He got a Pokemon DS game and a new Pokemon Handbook, because the old one he found at DI and totally fallen apart because he looked at it so much. Garret's due date was on my mom's birthday December 14th. She was really pushing for him to come on that day. She wanted a grandchild to share a birthday with her. Garret decided he wanted to come on Sunday, December 7th (Pearl Harbor Day) instead. Shawn was to teach Elder's quorm that morning and my water broke. So actually Garret got him out of teaching that Sunday. Garret's delivery was the best I ever had. Dr. Jeppsen and Dad were watching football while it was going on. Garret was a beautiful baby and was loved by his sisters. We always were told, "well, you finally did it right." I hope that you continue to enjoy life and stand up with good courage. Be obedient and always know we love you.
