Garrett

Lately I have been thinking a lot about my little brother Garrett, and how much I love him and feel so blessed to have him in my life! He is such an amazing little guy, he is hilarious he will do anything to make you laugh and he comes up with some pretty random things that are so funny! The other day we were at the mall buying him some new shoes and just randomly decided to do the robot for a few minutes, he just makes me laugh! He is so smart, he knows things that I don't even know, and he talks like an adult how he will say things just so maturely. He knows so much about sharks, that is something I just love about him is his love for sharks, he has been obsessed with them since he was tiny it's fun to see something stick for so long! He is my best buddy, we do a lot together and we always have so much fun doing it all! He is the most considerate 9 year old that I know, he thinks of things for everyone, he wants to make everyone happy! I love hearing him talk about his future and the amazing things that he wants to do, he has his life all planned out go on a mission to Australia, go to college and become an Shark researcher, and play basketball for the Jazz! It is so cute to hear him talk about the things he wants to do, he has such an amazing imagination! I hope that he follows through on all of those things, but the Jazz might be hard to get into! ha ha. I love this little guy! Since I have been prego he has been so sweet to me about having a little girl. He keeps telling me how he is going to protect her, and watch over her, and how she can even be in the Shark Club now that is a big deal! And I love how he is always kissing my belly!People will ask me why I love him so much and I have a million reasons of why! But one thing that has really made me appreciate him and not want to take one minute for granted was loosing my little brother Joshy. It made me realize to never take anyone for granted! And with Gar that is exactly how I want it to be I try to make every time I see him really count. I want him to know how much I love and adore him, and that when I have Brooklyn our friendship WON"T change, he is life, I really do love this boy more than anyone knows! I feel so honored to be his sister, and his friend!! I love you Gar with all my heart!!! I know this is like a novel, I could make it longer but I won't ha ha

Parents!

My parents are truly amazing, I feel so blessed to be their daughter! I was just thinking about this the other day, of how much the sacrificed for us kids our whole growing up. They are constantly doing something for someone else, if it's just taking us out for yogurt or helping us in a time of need, they are always there! I always know if I need someone to talk to or someone to help me with something they are always willing. I don't think I thank them enough for all that they do for me. I want them both to know how much I love them. They both mean the world to me! Last year when Dad had his heart attack it really made me think of how much I love him and my mom and how life wouldn't mean anything to me without them. My mom is so amazing, she is always worrying about everyone and what they need and how they are doing. All the time she calls me just to say hi and see how I am

doing. Little things like that mean so much! She is always doing something for me too, she came home from Cali with three different gifts for Brooklyn! And it really almost made me cry I am so blessed! She is so funny to just making jokes and making all of us laugh. She is good at making everyone feel welcome, everywhere she goes she makes a friend! It makes me laugh people that work at the grocery store and mall know her by name, that is impressive, people are just naturally drawn to her! My Dad, is such an incredible he comes off as quiet and intimidating when actually he is one of the funniest and sweetest people that I know. He is so good to all of us kids, so willing to help us with different things!He comes up with the funniest things that he will do, like deck surfing that is the best thing if you want a good laugh you need to see deck surfing! Always planning something that the family can do together, which I love getting together with the whole family! He is so giving if there is anyone in need Dad is there to help fix the problem, I look up to that so much about him, he is always helping someone out! These two people are so special to me, they have taught me so much through the years, one thing that is very important to them is Family! They have taught us so much about staying close to our siblings and them, family is the top priority to them! We get together for every holiday, which some people might be a bit much but we love it, it is so fun to do so much together! I love you both so much and I really am so grateful for all that you do for us, we really are so blessed to have the both of you!!!
