Although we started celebrating Brian turning 1 year old when the Fuller family was around yesterday was his actual birthday. He got muffins for breakfast (fyi, don't put a candle into a warm muffin...it will melt on the inside), grilled cheese for lunch and Grandma and Grandpa Fuller came over for fajitas and ice cream for dinner. Aaron loves all of Brian's presents and opened most of them for him too. I'm trying to be the referee today as Aaron cries when Brian wants to play with one of his own presents. Here's some cute shots of how the evening went!
Tuesday it was hot! We've had a week or more where the heat index has been 105+. We decided to run through the sprinklers and have a good time. We ate homemade popsicles, turned the slide into a waterslide, had running races and hung out in the shade. Brian didn't like being in the grass, but Aaron, Mommy and Daddy loved it all!
My sister-in-law Kayleen has been playing with it and just made this movie about our time at the lake house. It's so cute I had to post it on my blog too.
Jen's siblings and their spouses, Marcia and John and Marc and Kayleen, were in town this past week for the Fuller family vacation. We spent most of our time at Lake Conroe and although the jetski was in the shop and we didn't get the boat fixed until Friday night we had a good time just relaxing together. While we were all together we celebrated Dad's 60th birthday (July 28) and Brian's 1st birthday (August 16). Here is a picture and video of Brian eating his birthday cupcake!
Aaron and Brian had a lot of fun with their Aunts and Uncles. Paul and I of course were happy to let others play with them! Here's a few pics of the boys with their extended family. Uncle John and Aaron Aunt Nancy and Brian Uncle Marc, Aunt Kayleen & Brian Aunt Sissy and Brian
Of course we had to get a family group picture in! The Richard Fuller Family
As for an update on my Dad: he has had tons of doctor appointments and both of my siblings and their spouses were able to go with him to spend more time with him. Dad is actually doing pretty well right now. After a frustrating full week in the hospital last month and then having to go back every day last week for IV antibiotics he's finally acting more like himself. He had a PET scan to tell us if the chemo was working and while the scan showed sites still active, they said the disease has decreased so we are encouraged. The doctor did worry about how bad this last round of chemo beat him up, so we're taking a 3 week break before we start any more treatment...that should give him a chance to get his strength back.
