Happy Birthday in advance to a great brother!

Garrett is the tough looking football player in the picture. Garrett turns 18 on Thursday, since I won't be around to post I am doing it now. People who know Garrett would probably agree with me that he is quite possibly one of the funniest people around. Garrett is probably the most quoted member of our family with all of his famous one liners. He has a lot of friends and is a sports genius. We love Garrett and will miss seeing him on his big day! Have a great day Garrett!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Today is my mom's birthday. This morning I put my class of 5th graders on speaker phone while they sang happy birthday to my mom. After I hung up one of my students said, "your mom sounds like a really nice lady." I totally agree, my mom is such a sweet person who is always happy and kind. My mom is totally unselfish and does anything to make sure her kids are taken care of. She is a great cook and is always up for a good laugh. You can always find her doing something kind for someone else around her. She is one of my best friends and a great example to me. Happy Birthday, I love you mom!
