5 Wonderful Years

This past Saturday was our 5 year wedding anniversary. We kicked it off with a big breakfast. Justin and Garrett cooked the sausage...

and I made the waffles.
This is where Garrett sits during every meal. He likes to stare at his daddy eating.
I do too :)

For dinner, we drove to Kennesaw, GA to eat at The Melting Pot. It's a fondue restaurant and we love it.

Garrett slept through our dinner allowing us to enjoy our meal. He decided he wanted his meal out in the car.

We had said "no gifts" but Justin broke the rules and surprised me with these earrings and a card.

If the next 5 years are as good as the first, I will be one lucky girl :)

Little Piggy

I love dressing Garrett in these little footed sleepers. He likes to kick and stretch his legs when he's wearing them. Well...what do we have here? I see something wanting to break free...

Oh me, just look at that little piggy! hehe!

You are so silly :)

My Baby G

Mommy, I love you and I think you are pretty even when you don't wear makeup...or brush your hair...

or even your teeth for that matter.

Thank you, son...you're my reason for breathing. Those stretch marks on my belly were so worth it.

Please excuse the b. pump in the background :) We bought Garrett this outfit the weekend after we found out we were having a boy.
He wears it to represent his republican pride!

These hands of mine are SO YUMMY!

Jump, Jump

Alright Momma, what kind of contraption do you have me in now?!?!

This is fun!! I can jump and dance, just the exercise I need for these fat thighs of mine.
Look at me, Momma!

Wait a minute, what is this?

I think I'll just sit here and chew on this for a while.

If You're Happy and You Know It...

Garrett loves this song...

2 Month Photo Shoot

When Justin was in Canada last month for his work seminar trip, Mindy and I took Garrett to have his picture taken. He kept giving the photographer this serious look because of all the odd noises she was making trying to get him to smile. He looked like he was thinking, "lady, you're crazy!"

"Momma, save me from this crazy woman!!"

This is my favorite!

So serious...I could just squeeze him!

Our Little Man

This is a new trick he's learned...grabbing those toes.

Garrett has so much to say. He loves to talk to his daddy.

SO CUTE! (his daddy did NOT like the hat)
LOVE those little puckered lips
He is getting so good at holding his head up. He likes to sit in this little chair and watch TV.

Garrett video...he's getting so big!

This is just a little video clip I took of Garrett a few days ago. He is growing so fast and getting so big!

(How funny is this face he is making...haha!)

2-months-old

Garrett got his first vaccinations during his two month check up

he was so pitiful...it broke my heart
he loves to lay on the floor and talk to me

This is a box full of Okinawa goodies sent from Uncle TJ


Aunt Mindy had fun bathing Garrett when she visited this past weekend
He was a good boy for us while we shopped Hobby Lobby
Mindy and I thought this was so funny...he was holding on to that pinwheel so tight
Look at those fat cheeks
He's a little pumpkin farmer
