Brentley's First Birthday

The Birthday Boy.
 

Dr. Seuss was the theme.



His mommy decorated his chair.

 Auntie El, decorated his cake.



 He was as edible as the cake!

 All this is for ME Mom???

 Dad was stripping him down ready for cake.


Do you think anyone else is noticing that I'm naked?

 You sure I'm really allowed to do this Dad?  Mom won't be mad at me will she?
 







 I need a drink please!!!


 How long do I have to keep eating this stuff?


 They took my cake!! (he really wasn't mad)

 Now what?

 Nanna always wants me!



 Quick....one last lick before they clean me up!!

You talking to me?

 That poor little tummy was about to pop!


 Just a few of his adoring fans.


A singing puppy from Grandma Great.

 Some books, and a red flyer wagon from Gram (Suzy)


 He loved the singing dog best though!


 A dump truck.


A bike seat from his mom and dad.

 Brentley and Great Grandma Deaton.

 Here's a piece of tape you forgot......no, I'm just showing you, not giving it to you.....it looks like good chewing material.  The blanket behind him was made for him by Aunt Kait.  It was just being borrowed by Carrie to warm her toes.

Uncle Ash and Auntie El.

The elusive Uncle Harrison.


 Playing with Aunt Kait and that singing pup again.
Happy Birthday to one of the sweetest one year olds ever.  We love you baby boy.  We are so blessed that God chose us to be your grandparents. 

When my boys were little, I didn't think anything about all the people that loved them.  But now that the girls are home, it really makes my heart hurt to think that they didn't have this.  No one celebrated their lives, their mile stones, or just adored them. I see them processing it all.  Wren hugs and kisses Ella's tummy all the time, and Iley has said several times she wants to be a baby in my tummy.  I think they are seeing what they missed, and want it.  We can't turn back the clock, oh how I wish we could......but we can give them the love that they missed from this day forward.

The last of February


A white door picture.  Iley was pleased with the heels on her boots cause it made her a little taller.

Wren put these on her toothpick and then lifted it up and down like a barbell.

So of course Iley copied her.


 Not the most efficient help with paying the bills, but he just might be the cutest.






 This is a diaper for their dolls.  When I asked Iley why it was on the giraffe like this.....she said "He's a KING, that's his cape!" 

 Trying to climb the cellar door.


Hello, Hello, can you hear me Joe?   
Oh no. I can not hear your call, I can not hear your call at all....this is not good, and I know why....A mouse has cut the wire. Good bye!

 I remember doing this with my sister :)


 We were trying to get Wren to smile naturally.  She goes into pose mode and freezes.




 I tried showing her in the mirror how to relax her jaw........etc.............
 Is this better mom?...........ummmmm............

 Now she's all hunched over!  Never mind love, never mind.




 I AM DONE WITH THIS!


Her hair looks like a big pineapple!  It was a cute messy bun this morning for church. It is so thick, and has a mind of it's own!

 She loves her daddy.........I'm sure his nose NEEDED kissed.
