Garrett's 13th Birthday!

My baby boy came into this world during the Beverly Hills 90210 finale on May 17, 2000 at 9:57 PM.  He was 9 pounds, 7 oz. and it only took 3 hours of massive, capillary-in-the-eye-busting pushing to get him into this world.  He scared the heck out of all of us by getting his shoulders stuck on the way out, a nice frightening problem called shoulder dystocia, resulting in xrays when he was a couple of hours old.  But knock on wood, it's been pretty smooth sailing since.  A couple of stitches in his cheek from a jump into the coffee table when he was around 3 and two ear surgeries, so I consider us all pretty lucky.  
Garrett wanted to invite a couple friends from school to go bowling.  (Disclaimer:  I see this two friends every day in my science class.  Honestly, it was a little weird to go from "Kyle, where's your home work?" to "Kyle, do you need to use the potty before we leave?")  We went to Splittsville, which I had never been to (very cool, and they do adult nights with movies and drinks and have a very swanky bar).  I got the boys soda and pizza and watched their painful 2 games.  Then we headed back home for some run-around-the-yard time, cake and ice cream, and presents! 
Happy Birthday to you!


Caroline, Kyle, and Chris


Willow tried to keep up with the boys, but ended up needing a hard core nap.

Emmy didn't understand why Geet and his friends didn't want to play with her.


Meeting of the Minds @ the picnic table

Kyle is an....interesting child.



Their conversations were about all the other kids at school, teachers they like, teachers they can't stand, and a heated debate about pancakes vs. waffles.

They finally got rid of the Ginger.

Ha, she didn't go far!  Watch me Geet!  WATCH ME!





This birthday is two thumbs up!


Yay, presents!
