{Birthday PARTY time}

We held Brexton's birthday party the Friday before his birthday.  Daddy was insistent that he needed to go to Connealy's bull sale on Saturday so we couldn't do it then.  (The sale he was headed to last year when I was in labor!)  The party was perfect!  The party was a John Deere theme, of course!  The menu was brisket sandwiches, cheesy potatoes, baked beans, veggie cups, snicker/apple salad, chips, dirt cake, cupcakes, ice cream, popcorn with m&m's, lemonade, and root beer!  Brexton loved his cake and really got into opening his presents!  It was so fun to have our family, friends, NICU nurse, and even Brexton's friends to help us celebrate (and wished we could of had more)!  We even got to skype with Uncle Kyle, Aunt Marquette, and the new cousin, Breckette during the party!  

We are thankful for our family, life group, friends, and our new family we have made with our NICU nurses!!  We couldn't have gotten through this first year without you all!!  Thanks again to all who had a hand in making Brexton's party perfect!

We had so much fun doing Brexton's cake smash!!  Daddy even got involved!!  Brexton wasn't too sure what to think at first, but once daddy showed him how to dig in he loved it!!  :)  Hope you love just a few of the shots we captured!!

Brexton is ONE!!

How is that possible!!  Seems just like yesterday, we brought our two week old little boy home from the hospital!!  What a joyous year it has been!  We truly don't know what we would do without him!  He is such a blessing to our family!!

{birthday morning sprinkle pancakes...mmmmm}

We spent Brexton's birthday doing our normal Sunday routine of going to church and out to eat!  Daddy picked USA steak buffet to celebrate...not a typically stopping place for us, but it was good for something different!  My cousin Kacey spent the weekend with us which was fun!  After lunch, we made a few errands in town to get last minute things for our trip, then it was home to pack for our trip to North Dakota to meet our new niece!  

not a fan of the birthday hat!

Brexton must of had a good birthday because he was in bed early...missed a birthday skype call from grandma and grandpa and a visit from Nana! 

Thanks for all of the calls, texts, and wishes for Brexton's birthday!  We hope the next years don't fly by so fast, but know they will so we are enjoying every minute we can with our little cowboy!
