Pre Birthday Celebration

Today Weston had his first taste of what a birthday is!  Weston's Godparents, our sweet friends Caleb and Elizabeth, won't be able to make it to Weston's party in a few weeks, so they asked us to come over and celebrate with them early.  I couldn't even believe that they set up balloons, table cloths, AND had a Mickey Mouse cookie cake.  They are so sweet and so thoughtful.  We are incredibly lucky to have them not only as best friends, but also as Weston's godparents.  We ate tacos and sang happy birthday and devoured the cookie cake. The boys had a blast playing in Graham's ball pit and of course the bounce house.  Weston was a little apprehensive about the bouncing and sliding, but I think he liked it.  The boys even got to swing for a bit before nap time, or should I say Graham's nap time.  It was so sweet watching the boys play; Weston doesn't get to play with babies very often, if at all, so I am so glad he had a chance to interact with someone a bit more his size.

I have to admit, although it wasn't officially his birthday, I almost got a little emotional when we were singing happy birthday to him.  I can't believe my sweet baby boy is going to be a year old in just a few weeks.  He is the biggest blessing we could have ever asked for and is just as sweet and cute as can be.

Thank you Caleb and Liz for being the very best friends a family could ask for.  Loving, nurturing, thoughtful, and oh so fun!  We love you and Weston loves you DEARLY!

February Fun

I haven't had a chance to sit down and blog about some of our happenings this month.   February has gone by too quickly and I wanted to share some pictures from this past month.  We celebrated Weston's first Valentine's day, Ryan and I celebrated our second wedding anniversary, and of course we have been busy keeping up with our Bubba.  I can't believe in just two weeks Weston is going to be a year old.  I can not wait to celebrate with all of our family and friends!

Weston is ELEVEN Months Old!!!

In just one month my sweet little boy turns one year old.  Wow!  I want time to simply just slow down for just a bit.  This past month has been BUSY, although I really couldn't tell you exactly what we've been up to.  Weston is keeping us on the go pretty much every minute of the day now; he is ALL BOY for sure!  Here are some pictures from our short and I mean short, photo session and some pictures from this past month.
