Deja Vous- Unbelievable!!

Blake managed to cut his hair at some point this weekend!  I don't know what he was thinking, but he is in 3rd grade and I can't believe he did this.  His is a much bigger chunk than Bryson's.  I guess he did not want to be outdone by her.

Why is Bryson covering her face?

Because she cut her bangs at school on Friday!

Amazing double rainbow over our house

These pictures say it all!  When we drove into our neighborhood this afternoon there was a double rainbow over our house.  I had never seen one before.  Isn't it amazing?

Blake's Goatee

So.....Blake got a haircut today and apparently "saved" some of the hair that was cut. Tonight, after his bath, he came in and now has a goatee. Yes, he stuck the hair to tape and put it on his chin so that all of his friends at school will think he grew a beard overnight. DEFINITELY Rick's child!!

Happy Birthday Papa!

We have partied all weekend!  Papa's birthday was on August 9, but we celebrated it today with a spaghetti lunch at their house.  Lee, Laura, Sean, Carey, Kim and all of us were there.  We sure are tired from Brett's party yesterday but we had a good time and all came home and took a nap!

Brett and Midge were tired!

It sure was humid outside.  Blake found the smallest lizard I had ever seen!

We ate more cake and sang "Happy Birthday!"

Happy Birthday Papa!  We love you!

Happy 1st Birthday Sweet Brett!

One year ago today, one of the sweetest little babies was born: Robert Brett Lee.  In the last year, he has brought so much joy to our lives and his older brother and sister absolutely adore him!!  We can't believe how fast this year has flown by!  Today, we celebrated Brett's 1st Birthday with lots of family and friends.  At one year old, Brett is now walking across a room, saying "MaMa, DaDa, Bye Bye, Hey, Woof Woof, Quack Quack, and car."  He is crawling everywhere and has a temper when things do not go his way.  For the most part, Brett is a very laid back easy going child who smiles and babbles all of the time.  Brett shakes his head no when he does not want something.  He holds his hands above his head to show that he is "So Big!!" 

For Brett's 1st birthday, we had a cake with a duck on it because he "quacks" at everything...even the dog!  Our neighbor, Karen Bradley at http://www.cakebelieve.net/ made his cake.  I was thrilled with the way that it turned out!

Bryson helped me decorate to get ready for the party!

Uncle Brant came in from Charleston:

And all of the Grandmammas and Grandaddies were there too!

The BIRTHDAY BOY!

Lots of friends came to Brett's party!

Mrs. Ivy, Brett's "other Momma" came to the party with Taylor and Katie!  When Mrs. Ivy is around, no one else matters, not even his real Momma!  Mrs. Ivy takes such good care of Brett while we are at work and Brett loves her to death!!

Time to eat (and smash) the cake!

Now...the fun part!  Time to open presents!

Uncle Brant gave him a corn popper!

And Uncle Carey, Kim, Regan and Kyndal gave him a drum set.  Have you noticed how the uncles gave him the noisy toys??  Payback is wonderful!

Brett showed us how he could walk!

 

It was a loooonnnnnggggg day for Brett.  Once he went to sleep, he crashed and so did  Midge, the dog!

He woke up and crashed again on his Daddy's chest!

Happy Birthday Brett!  You are such a blessing to us and we love you more than you will ever know!
