Happy Birthday Rhett!!!

Two years ago on October 3rd I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy - what a blessing he was right from the start. He was born big and has always been a big boy which has claimed him a wide array of nicknames from all of our friends and family, the most common name being Bruiser which seems to fit him perfectly. He walked at an early age and is now talking in complete sentences - I still can't believe that my two year old can carry a conversation with me like he was five. He has such a loving personality and lights up our lives more than you can know. I'm so grateful that God gave us Rhett - he is such a wonderful addition to our family and I look forward to watching him grow into a young boy, a carefree teenager, and then one day into adulthood, and I pray consistently that he will grow up to be a light for Jesus to those around him.

For his birthday this year we decided to have a Mickey Mouse birthday. He kinda chose it while wandering around at Zurchers. Grandma Nancy made him a Mickey Mouse birthday cake which was super cute and we had a good time eating and opening gifts. His favorite gifts were his Toy Story toys, His brown bear book, His weebles play toy and his Mickey Mouse racetrack.

Right now Rhett likes:
* Anything Toy Story
* Watching movies like Doodlebops (much to dad's dismay), The Jungle Book, Monster's Inc. and Shrek.
* He is beginning to enjoy coloring
* He likes playing with his cars and balls
* He LOVES to read and will sit and listen for a VERY long time. His favorite books are "Brown Bear" and the snap-snap books
* He loves to eat Macaroni and cheese, pickles, grapes, olives, grilled mushrooms and suckers
* He likes to climb into our bed in the middle of the night - and being the tired working parents that we are we usually just let him - something that will definately change in the near future.
* He enjoys being outside and swinging on the swingset

He is such a blessing!!

Happy Birthday Baby Boy - We love you bunches!!
