Little Lonestar Race

Ready to race! We ate at McAlister's Deli before Aaron's big race!
Aaron was ready to run in the "Little Lonestar" race!

It is important to show your race number!
Daddy was not the only Garris to race in Galveston. Aaron ran in the "Little Lonestar" race. About an hour before the race, he fell off a curb and scraped his leg up. He was hurting, and said he didn't want to race. But, he ran and we were SO proud of him!

Traveling to Texas

Hanging out in JFK airport.
JetBlue Airways ROCKS!!!
Aaron was hanging out in the airport. When I asked him where he was going, he replied "California!" (We were going to Texas!)
Flying halfway across the nation with 2 bikes is quite an adventure!
When James got into doing triathlons, he soon began to dream about participating in an Ironman race. On Friday, April 23, we flew to Galveston, Texas for his 1/2 Ironman race that was to take place on Sunday.

It's a Boy!

On April 5, 2010, we found out for sure that our baby is going to be a boy! Aaron and I were hoping for a girl, but are thrilled anyway! Well, at least I am thrilled. Aaron looked at the ultrasound tech and stated "But I wanted a little sister!" We had decided if he was a boy that we are going to name him "Rylan Andrew". Yay for little boys!
The wait for the ultrasound was very long! Aaron got bored pretty quickly!


Easter Mommy

Bug and Daddy!


Daddy had to work on Easter Sunday, so we went to visit him at his station.

Singing at Church

Aren't they sweet?
Don't let these two fool you! They are a mischievous pair!
As much as Aaron likes to be the center of attention, he really does not like singing in front of the church. Therefor, I was very proud of him for getting up and singing on Easter Sunday!

Aaron, Lindsey and the Easter Bunny!


We took Aaron and his cousin, Lindsey to go see the Easter Bunny!

Greatest Show on Earth!

Circus Sword!
Enjoying the show!
While I was gone on my mission trip, James took Aaron on his very first trip to the circus! In the middle of it, Aaron leaned over to James and said "Daddy! This really is the greatest show on earth!"

Baby Lindsey

Aaron loves his little cousin, Lindsey!





Ice Skating



Aaron's friend, Autumn, had an ice skating party for her birthday. Here he is "skating" with her sisters, Angelica and Winter!

Yet another snowfall!


We are usually lucky to get one snowfall per year! The third snowfall of 2010 occured the day before Valentine's Day!

Training for the Little Lonestar Race

All winter long, Daddy had been training for a 1/2 Ironman.
Aaron decided that he was going to run the "Little Lonestar" race.
Daddy and Aaron made great training partners!
