Party time

I can't believe he's already one! What a big boy!

Everyone helped open presents

Going for a ride in my new dump truck.

New red car!

The awesome monkey cake Nana made for me

Phew...that's a lot of cake!

Slacker!

Sorry I've been so late posting pictures...maybe my New Year's resolution should be to update this darn blog! We're leaving for Hawaii tonight (wish us luck on the flights with Mason). I'm sure we'll have lots of cutie pics and stories to share when we get home. Until then...here's a peek at our wonderful Thanksgiving and Mason's 1st birthday.

         Mason's 1st taste of cake...yummy!

Thanksgiving dinner is pretty messy

First taste of deviled eggs...so good!

Thankful

I cannot believe a whole year has gone by already. The last year has been full of so many blessings for our family, and I am full of gratitude for all that I have been given. I am so lucky to have my beautiful son, who makes me feel as though my heart could burst everyday. This last year has not been the easiest of my life, but it has been by far the most rewarding. I am forever indebted to the people who have helped me get through this past year, when at times I honestly thought I was losing my mind. Todd, my parents, Crystal M., Mariah R., Laura A., Cindy, C., and Beth B.,....I wouldn't have made it without you all being here to help pick me up with your love, kindness and understanding. Thanks!

First Halloween

Better late than never, right?
