July 2009

Hi everyone! I'm enjoying the summer and keeping busy. Here I am in my sandbox.

Mom's friend, Jen, came to visit in June. She's now my friend too...anyone that plays with me is my "friend." I was sad when she had to leave.

Changes are starting! Mom & Dad have kicked me out of my crib and bought me a "big boy bed." It's been about a month now and I'm finally starting to get the hang of this. It's still a work in progress. I like the idea of being able to get out of bed on my own (at any time of the night or day). I also thought I could play with my toys in my room at anytime...as a result my room is now toyless!

Like I said, I'm still adjusting to this new change...

Summertime means I get to go to the beach in Maple Grove

Grandma and Grandpa Hall babysat me one evening at their house...boy did we have fun!

Bread in hand, we drove to the santuary to feed the geese.

Grandma and Grandpa always wear me out!

4th of July 2009. I had the All American Dessert...Apple Pie with Ice Cream!

Uncle Mark and Mindi bought a house close to mine. Now I get to visit them at their new house! I love their big backyard, swingset and sandbox! I am always asking Mom if we can go to Mark and Mindi's house!

Last weekend we went to their house for dinner. Mindi's relatives were also there. I liked playing with Matthew and Norah.

My favorite game...RUN and RACE!

Happy Father's Day DAD!

This blog is dedicated to my Dad. It's a way to say "Thank You" and show my appreciation for all that he has done for me! Enjoy!

Thanks Dad for holding me and getting up in the middle of the night when I needed you. Thanks for being calm when Mom wasn't.




Thanks for hanging out with me on weekends.





Thanks for reading to me.




Thanks for feeding me...and then changing my diapers.




Thanks for taking me down to the farm and showing me all the tractors.

Thanks for taking me swimming, even when I didn't think it was such a good idea.

Thanks for sharing your food. (And thank you for taking care of me in the morning before work so mom could sleep in)

Thanks for taking me on outings like the Holidazzle Parade.

Thanks for pulling me around in the sled during the winter.

Thanks for going on rides with me when Mom can't.

Thanks for posing in silly pictures with me.

Thanks for showing me how to drive...ok maybe not yet.

Thanks for keeping me entertained when there was no entertainment.

Thanks for taking me Trick-or-Treating!

Thanks for playing toys with me.

Thanks for taking me sledding and encouraging me when I get scared.

But most of all, thanks for being the "Super Dad" that you are!

Love, Garrett & Mom

Parades, Cows and Tractors

Hi! I had a busy week. I enjoyed my first parade on Friday in Champlin. I enjoyed eating the candy I caught.
The sirens were very loud. I got a little scared. Went I got home from the parade, Mark and Mindi babysat me. Thanks guys for coming over so Mom and Dad could go out!

Saturday we drove down to the farm to see everyone.

Mom and Dad let me sit in the tractors several times.

Checking out the cows...

Sunday morning, I worked up the courage to go into the barn and see the baby cows.

I enjoyed watching the baby cows drinking their milk.

What can I say, it was a long weekend!

I don't get it, they say this is corn, but where's the corn?! I decided it needed to be harvested. Sorry Grandpa.

Happy June

Hello everyone! Here I am just hanging out one morning watching some cartoons

I love corn on the cob. I especially like to help Dad husk the corn.




I visited the Christenson's recently. We played so much, we all needed a bath to clean up.

MMmmm, push ups!

Lately, I like to put Mom and Dad's shoes on

I have such a cool name!
