Blaine Bear turned two today!

Where has time gone???....

Blaine enjoying his new scooter from Gigi, Uncle Davis and Uncle Peyton



Blaine LOVES (and I mean LOVES) doughnuts,


so we had a family breakfast at Shipley's this morning


to celebrate Blaine's birthday!



Family picture!:)



Opening up gifts and cards.....



Mommy and Daddy are taking Blaine to the circus in a couple of weeks!

This boy LOVES cards:)

Thank you to everyone who sent Blaine a card.

And he loves watching Cars, Veggie Tales and Nemo mostly.

Occasionally he chooses Toy Story too.

Blaine also loves stickers.

Blaine had a blast putting the stickers on his Woody card from

Jordan and Matt.

Had a get a picture with my birthday boy.

Since Blaine's birthday is on Good Friday this year,

we dyed Easter eggs.

And put stickers on them:)

Blaine just relaxed and enjoyed his doughnut holes ALL DAY!

After nap time, Blaine had a few visitors.....

Granddaddy.....who came with gifts--a toy motorcycle and a "McQueen"

bag--from Grandmother and Granddaddy.

Rachel and Jerrett came by to see the birthday boy too.

Blaine was excited about his bubbles and coloring book.

And later a package came from Pops.....

A new table and chairs!

Blaine has had a blast getting cards, presents and packages!

He also recieved a package last week from Mammaw and Pappaw full of cars from

the Cars movie.....Mater, McQueen etc...along with A LOT of other goodies:)

I'm just sad because since we were skyping with Mammaw and Pappaw when Blaine opened his package, I did not get any pictures.

And Grandmother came to see the birthday boy (and Walt:) ).

Dear Blaine,

Words can not express how much joy you have brought to your
Mommy and Daddy's lives these past two years....

We love you more than you will ever know!

You are such a happy boy who loves your mommy, daddy and brother very much and it is so evident in the way you run to us and just open your arms for a hug, the way you give us kisses and the way you are always concerned for Walt. It is so sweet how you look out for your brother--like when you think we have left him, you constantly say his name over and over,

as if to remind us about him.

It's also so sweet how you run and get a burp cloth for him and

make sure he is satisfied by having his pacifier when he cries.

It is so evident how much your brother loves and looks up to you:)

Blaine, you have taught us so much in your short life....

you've taught us about unconditional love....

We hope that you always know how special you are...

to us and to God....

We hope that you always remember God has a plan for your life...just for you!

(Jeremia 29:11)

We pray that you will grow into a young man who loves

the Lord with all your heart, soul and mind. And loves your neighbor as yourself.

We pray you always look to God first.

WE LOVE YOU!

(I'll love you forever, I'll like your for always, as long as I'm living--and even after--my baby you'll be)

Love,

Mommy and Daddy
