Graham's 1st Birthday!!

I'm exactly one month late in writing this. BETTER LATE THAN NEVER right?!?!
My precious little gift from God is ONE YEARS OLD. This past year has been by far the fastest year of my life. Such a wonderful year. If I knew that being a momma was this amazing, I don't think my husband and I would have waited this long to have kids! Graham is such an amazing baby (All the sudden I don't know if I should call him a baby or a little boy!!!! And now I'm really sad thinking I can't call him my baby anymore! Who cares...he's still my baby to me :) ). I absolutely LOVE this stage of his life. He is so much fun...so interactive, so playful. He knows what we are saying to him and he is such a funny boy!!! He always tries to make us laugh and he does a great job with that. My heart is SO full of love for him....he is our blessing upon blessing.

We celebrated his first birthday party with some family and close friends. Graham had a blast playing with his cousin Tustin and his friend Claire. He also enjoyed having his first bite of sugar/junk food. He LOVED digging into his cake :). Here are some pictures of his big day!!!









My good friend Tiffani....Graham loves her little girl, Claire! Too bad I didn't get a picture of them togethor :(.
Graham's favorite present??? The tissue paper of course :).


It was such a great day and we loved celebrating Graham's special day with the people closest to him! I truly thank God so so much for giving us such an amazing gift. My heart is flowing over with love for my little one....i love you to the moon and back Graham Andrew!!!!

I'm baaaaccck!

So I may have fallen off the blog wagon for a bit, but I'm back again :). Lots to write about!!! Really going to try and keep this updated!!!! I am just LOVING fall and this time of year. We have had really crazy weather in the Midwest lately. Not my typical style for fall, but it's getting there:).
We recently had our family pictures taken with JoAnne Kaser of Josephiney photography . She is incredible!!!!!!! She has such an awesome eye for photgraphy and gives the picture so much detail. I absolutely love her style!!!! I told her I want to be her apprentice :).
Here are a few pictures of our family that she posted on her blog!

ALSO---I have a major addiction with Starbuck's new drink. Have you tried the Salted Carmel Hot Chocolate??????? It is absolutely amazing.....it's so much goodness in a cup that it's hard to even describe. Here is what Starbucks website says about it:
Starbucks new Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate is an indulgent treat that combines our bittersweet mocha sauce and toffee nut syrup and is topped with whipped cream, a buttery caramel drizzle, and a flavorful sprinkling of Starbucks® premium sea salt topping.
Delicious :). Happy Wednesday and I'll blog again soon :).
