First Birthday Party

This weekend we had Brycen's first birthday party with our family. He had a great time!

After many hits the cousins finally busted the pinata! Thanks Grandpa for using your fan to hang Brycen's pinata. I thought we were going to lose the fan with the pinata.

Brycen was more interested in the boxes and his "smarties" candy than the actual toys (of course).

Then there was the cake. Brycen has no interest in eating cake. I guess that is a good thing!

Happy Birthday B! We love you!

Congratulations Uncle Michael!

Michael graduated from Conway High School last Thursday. Congrats Michael! We can't wait until your at U of A. See you in August!

Weekend Getaway!

Last weekend we flew to Colorado to see all the Norwood family. Brycen enjoyed flying! Of course he did not sleep, there was too much to look at. Once the flight attendent brought a drink he was entertained by the cup. Mom learned how small the airplane bathroom was when it came to changing a diaper. It was one that could not wait!

We enjoyed the Colorado weather. We actually saw the sun shine. Brycen enjoyed playing with Grandpa, Grandma and his Aunts.

Brycen was so happy visiting Grandpa John's office. He looks good working at a desk. Maybe he will be a banker one day.

I'm A Big Kid Now! Brycen had his first "mini" birthday party. He just played in his cake. I put a few licks of icing in his mouth. He had little interest.

First Step

Saturday Brycen took his first step! Grandpa and Mommy were watching. He quickly set down after his step. He perfers to push something around.

When we arrived home and were unpacking the car, little man managed to get his wagon out of the garage into the "misty" air. Rain or shine he wants to be outside.

This is what happened when we went inside!!

Heart Gala Video

Below is a link to the video about Brycen that was shown at the 2009 Northwest Arkansas Heart Gala. We were able to make the video (Thanks Jones TV!!) instead of having to give a speach.

Happy Easter!

Who is this funny thing? His teeth look like mine.

Happy Easter!

2009 Heart Gala

This past weekend was the Heart Gala. Both of our families came to share in the celebration of Brycen being named as the Honorary Survivor.

The Gala was a fun time for us all and Brycen was a champion. Though he was very tired by the end of dinner, he was well behaved the whole night and loved all of the attention.

Done with dinner and ready to bid on the auction!


Ms. Kristi, the nurse that heard Brycen's heart murmur!

Our family and Pam Jones who did the appeals speach for us. We will post our video as soon as we get a copy.

Thank you to those of you who donated in Brycen's honor and thank you to everyone that attended the Gala!!
