The day started out with our traditional mommy and birthday child breakfast. I like that time to spend one on one with the birthday child for that focus and bonding, even if it is just watching the cars go through the DD drive through.

We rushed on down to Dustin's baseball game where mommy and daddy were coaching. You are such a trooper. You find something to do while you are asked to stay off the field. This day, you deserve to be king of the mountain.

Following the game, we went home where you helped make your cake for your party. Thanks for your help, just make sure you mix the eggs all the way.
We were blessed to have family from Florida up during Kamden's special day. They came up for a less exciting gathering but were thankful to have a celebration of life during their visit.
We miss having you guys around.We would be so excited if you were able to move back up. We will continue to pray that if the Lord wills, He will show His way. Love you Aunt Linda, Evan, Cori, Leo, Noah and Gabriella. Our long-ago, family friend, Mary, was able to make it, too. So nice to reconnect.

No party is complete without a friendly game to have family square off. This time it was wiffle ball. Not nearly as intense as soccer, but it was fun. We start them off early in the Garrison household. No tee for these boys, we need someone to be able to play for the Red Sox and take care of us when were are old.

Wow, Grandpa G.G. and Grammy Nome really outdid themselves on this one. They heard that Kamden wanted to ride like the big kids. So they got him his "jeep". Shayla is helping him learn the ropes.
