Birthday Boy

On July 13, our little boy turned 1!! I can't believe it! I don't even know where the time went. He has grown into this amazing and happy little boy. He is truly a joy to be around and always keeps us laughing. He is VERY busy but so much fun! We love watching him explore new things and use objects in his own way. He is so special to Travis and I and we are cherishing every moment we have with him. I just wish time would slow down. This year for his birthday, we decided to have two parties, 1 in Louisiana and 1 in Texas so both sides of the family would be able to celebrate his big day! The one in Louisiana was held at my parents and it was a Mickey Mouse theme. The one in Texas was held at my aunt and uncle's ranch in Crawford, Texas and it was a John Deere party. Both of them were amazing parties and we can't thank my parents and my aunt and uncle for all the work that they did to help me make his parties successful. We are truly blessed and so very thankful.

Will,

1 year ago you came in our lives and and completely changed them forever. I will never forget the moment that the doctor placed you in my arms for the very first time. It was love at first sight. You have taught us so much about love and how strong a bond is between a parent and child. We look at you and can't believe you are ours. We are so glad that God chose us to be your parents. We love to hear your voice when we are having our own little conversation, we love the sound of your laugh, or the smile on your face. You truly light up a room. We love your silly expressions that you make to make us laugh. We love absolutely everything there is about you. You are so special to us and you will do wonderful things with your life. You have a great spirit and make everyone around you smile. We love you so much and are so thankful for everything that you have given us this past year. We love you buddy!
