Happy Birthday Bret!!


Today is Bret's 24th birthday!!! I can't believe how time flies!! Time to celebrate my Bretski!!
He is an amazing artist, he has been asked to draw for other people. He is truly talented. He has drawn all of his own tattoo's (except for one) and they are all very well done.

He has a knack for electronics and anything with a motor!! If I need anything put together or figured out, I call Bret!! He comes to my rescue. When he was a little boy, we seriously considered going to the D.I. for a used toaster and a set of screwdrivers for his 3rd Christmas!! He would get a remote control car and have it torn apart within 24 hours. It was hilarious!! He is very independent and is doing great on his own. He loves to be active by riding his bike, his 4 wheeler, camping, fishing and working hard. I remember when he was just a young lad, he would jump off everything. If it had any kind of incline, he would walk up it and jump off. We had to take him to the dr. because every night he would cry in pain that his "heels" hurt. We found out that his heel plate was separating from his foot due to all his stunts!!! The dr. suggested that he wear cowboy boots to put more pressure on the ball of his foot & take the pressure off his heels. He did not want to wear cowboy boots. Cowboy boots were for weirdo's!! Needless to say, he jumped off the roof onto the grass... it hurt and he got in trouble!! We could not keep him on the ground!! ha ha

He is beautiful!! He was and is such a beautiful boy. We got complimented on him every where we went. He even won "The Most Beautiful Baby" contest when he was 3 months old.

I remember he and Aaron Perry would terrorize the neighborhood. They would sneak off to the train tracks by our neighborhood (so off limits!!) and we would have everyone looking for them, terrified of the worst! Only to see them coming back later, looking at us like... "what?"...

Funny, I still get that look even today... and the occasional, "what?"

Happy Birthday Son!!! I love you tons!!

Love, Mom
