Happy 13th Birthday Garrison!!

Thirteen years ago today, my fourth child and second boy, Garrison August, was born! What a happy day that was! Garrison was such an easy baby. He was so sweet and laid back. He is still a super easy kid. He's a friend to all he meets. He's becoming quite the young gentleman too! He's always quick to open the door for me and always says "yes/no, m'am". He has such a big heart for others and I cannot wait to see who the Lord has planned for him to be!

A walk down the last year with Garrison:

Garrison loving on Karleigh Mei. He took right away to being a GREAT big brother!

Garrison and his great smile!

I took an online photography class and Garrison was always so sweet to be my model.

Okay....maybe it was hard to be model sometimes. But let's face it, I was slow at setting my camera.

Another day modeling for me.

Having a little sister that likes to ALWAYS be in the spotlight is sometimes hard. :)

Garrison and our backyard fort.

Garrison raced his first Soap Box Derby.

He was my escort at Katie's wedding!

He had to get his haircut when he started back to school after being homeschooled for many years.

Teaching Karleigh Mei some volleyball skills.

And some percussion skills. :)

Trip to Big Bend.

Karleigh Mei never misses a party. Even with a fever of 104...she keeps going like Energizer* Bunny. My darling girl with her rosy, red cheeks! She loves her big brother Garrison!!
