Kwaid Ray Garrett

So I really loved reading about each one of Kristin's kids and all the little things they do and like. I thought it was a great idea and wanted to share a little bit about ours too. I guess I will go backward from youngest to oldest because I know exactly were Kwaid's pictures are and they are easy for me to upload. I know its a dumb reason but it works for me.

So Kwaid is our imagination gone crazy child. If there is another world connected to this one were life is all fun and you can make it up as you go that is were Kwaid spends most of his time. He can keep himself busy for hours with make believe. He loves to pretend that he is lost in the woods. He can build a fire with a flint and steel and thinks that an island mission would be the perfect place for him. He is a perfect shot with a bow and arrow or a sling shot the local birds know to keep their distance when he is in the field.

Kwaid is not really right or left handed he uses them both about equal. It has given him a great advantage in learning the piano and his teacher thinks he is picking it up very fast. He loves to speak spanish and has started to talk circles around me. He also picked up sign language really well and loves to use that when ever he gets a chance.

He is captivated by pirates and vampires and loves to pretend to be one or both at the same time. Every time we see a really great movie he becomes his favorite character. He has been captain Jack sparrow, Jedadiah smith, Elvis and Indiana Jones. He desperately wants a bull whip, but I just dont see how any thing good can come from it.

His favorite things to eat are veggies. Yes you read that correctly! If it is green chances are he will love it. Raw spinach and bell peppers are his favorite. He works very hard at the garden so that he can get his veggies.

He is a special child and we love him so much. He keeps us laughing and guessing what will come next. He has wanted a boston terrier for about 5 years and last year we finally broke down and got him one. Bella is his good friend and most of the time they are together in their adventures. Kwaid we love you and are very blessed to have you!

We took some great photos of the boys out in the yard and want to share them too!

Wyit's Arrow of Light

Wyit has been working his little tail off in scouts and it has paid off. Tonight he got his arrow of light and advanced into boy scouts. His plaque is beautifu and shows his hard work. We are so proud of him and all that he has done. Webelos was a lot of hard work and he really had to make the effort to earn his awards. He also recieved the Webelos 20 award and the religious square knot.

Kwaid has been working hard in scouts as well. He earned several belt loops and pins along with some segment awards. He is only three chapters away from getting his Bobcat and Wolf badges so we are really proud of him for all his hard work.

Driving

So I think we told you all that Brandon got his learners permit. We are proud of him. I think it gave him a boost in confidence too. He has been logging his driving hours so that when he is 16 he can get the real thing.

His car likes are pretty extreme. So the first car we bought him was a Shelby GT. Yes we went ford. He said that he loves ford so we thought what the heck we will get him what he wants. Sure it is a little small to take the family for a spin, but I guess if he wants more he will need a full time job...or two!

summer

The summer has been a very busy one! It has been wonderful to have Brandon home again. He seems to be enjoying himself too. We played baseball again this year. Bryan coached again and the boys were on the same team. I have to say I am glad that it is done. I love to watch the boys play, but it starts to drag out.

We have done some camping and some fishing and a lot of working at the Robinson garden. The fresh veggies are so wonderful and we are learning a ton about how to garden.
