Naaman's 1 year pictures...thank you Heather Essian!

Happy Birthday to our sweet baby boy!

WOW...time flies! I can't believe it's been a year since our precious baby boy came into this world. We have had the time of our lives and each day gets better and better! We love you Naaman Jack...more than you'll ever know.

For his first birthday, we had a Mod Monkey theme and invited lots of friends and family to help us celebrate. There was a water slide for the bigger kids to play on...and of course good food and drinks, as well as CAKE!!!

Sitting with Si Si drinking his bottle. He woke up from his nap just as his party guests were arriving...

Naaman was a little uncomfortable with all the people at his house at first and spent most of the time playing inside with his toys.

Here is what was going on outside...

Dinner time! I love how the kids improvised and had a picnic on our garage floor...that tells you how limited our space is in the back yard...not to mention the slip and slide took up our ENTIRE grassy area!

Sweet Jett...

Jude and Joss took their picnic to the benches...

What's next? CAKE!!!

We've got quite the picky eater! Naamz did not like his cake...nor did he eat much of it...but he was trying to feed everyone else. What one year old doesn't like cake??? Here his is feeding Popi...

I finally handed him a spoon to see if he might dig in that way. Oh boy did he ever dig in...but not one bite went into his mouth! The boy just would NOT eat cake!

Here we are trying to force him to take a bite...he would barely even let any touch his lips!

He won't feed himself any cake...but he sure didn't have any problem feeding it to Momma. He just kept feeding and feeding and feeding me!

...anybody else want some?

Daddy's turn...

Santa Rosa Beach with Aunt Lolo and Wyatt!

Oh how I LOVE the beach! This year we went to Florida with Laura and Wyatt. We had a blast, even though it rained EVERY day!!! Naaman wasn't too sure of the sand at first but once we got him used to it he was having a ball playing with cousin Wyatt!

Still not so sure about this whole sand thing...

He was much happier once we put him on the boogie board...he did NOT like the way the sand felt! He takes after his Momma!!!

He had so much fun with the buckets. He would put sand in them and then dump all the water out and tell us when he wanted us to refill his bucket...

Here we go...FINALLY touching the sand. Once he realized it was fun to play with...he was going to town! He put it in his mouth, in his pants, he started throwing it...the possibilities were endless!!!

Part of our day usually consited of some time being bound to the beach house. It rained pretty much every day we were there. Wyatt and Naamz didn't mind though...

...and he found the stairs. It didn't take him long at all! He was constantly wanting to climb up them and even fell a few times. I am really glad we don't have stairs to worry about at home!

Brad and Aunt Lolo didn't waste any time being inside. They took the party outside, rain or shine! Here you will notice their coffee cups. They each started out the say with a Baileys and coffee then moved onto Mimosas...and at about 11:00 a.m. they started onto beer...FUN TIMES!!!

The night before we left, we went out for a delicious seafood dinner in Seaside...for those of you movie buffs, that is where they filmed The Truman Show.
