Brett's birthday- Part Two

Since Brett loves anything with wheels- and really, really, really loves the movie Cars- we decided to do a "cars" theme for his birthday.  It really seems like yesterday that we had his one year old birthday- it is hard to believe another year has gone by.   Below are (lots) of pictures of the party.

Hanging out with Luke and Baylie before the party

We love you sweet boy!!!!

Look Mom- No Tubes!!!!

Brett did great today and the doctor said everything looks good.  

Thank you to those of you who were praying!!

Eye surgery #4

This cute face is having his 4th- and hopefully last- eye surgery tomorrow.  The tube they put in Brett's eye in June is coming out tomorrow.  The first set of tubes he had got taken out at the doctor's office, but this tube requires a visit to the children's hospital and- once again- being put to sleep.  Please be praying for us tomorrow morning.  And be praying for this surgery to work- we will know by next week if it was successful.  

Brett's Birthday- Part One

We started out Brett's birthday weekend with donut holes for breakfast.  This kid LOVES donut holes- just like his Daddy.  Brian's favorite food is donuts- and his dream is to take Brett on a road trip one day and stop at every donut store that they pass to "taste test" the donuts.  Fear not baby- I think that Brett will be more than willing to take that road trip with you!

Christmas

Yes, I am just now getting to uploading our Christmas pictures.  We have had two sets of out of town company, Brett's birthday party, and a trip to Disney in the last few weeks- so I just haven't had any time to sit down and blog.  I have a ton of pictures from Brett's birthday and our fun trip to Disney, so I should be busy updating the blog this week.

Christmas was a lot of fun.  Brett smiled non-stop for hours.  It was hysterical.  Our house looked like a cross between a sports field, a railroad station, and Radiator Springs (from the movie Cars).  Brett loved all his gifts- and we loved watching him.  It is so fun to experience Christmas through the eyes of your child.

Christmas Eve

Daddy showing Brett all his stuff

So excited

Testing out the sports equipment- he got a basketball set- a tee-ball set, and a set of golf clubs- we are all set!

Playing with his new lego table and his Cars legos.

He LOVES cars- especially the cars from the movie Cars.

Riding his new scooter from Aunt Linda and Uncle Jimmy

Of course he loved the box that all the gifts came in too!

Trains!

Lots and lots and lots of trains!  Thank you Nana!

We love you so very much Brett!  We are so proud of you.  Thank you for bringing so much joy to every one of our days!  We are so very thankful for you!

Gingerbread House

I am a bit behind- so I will try to upload some Christmas pictures in the next few days.  These were taken a few days before Christmas.  Brett enjoyed making his first gingerbread house- although I think he enjoyed sitting on the counter even more.  And believe it or not- my icing loving little guy (I wonder where he gets that?) didn't eat a single drop of icing.  The pictures are out of order again- but here they are.

Brett LOVED Christmas morning- I will post pictures soon.
