The Birthday Party

Nathan's birthday party was a lot of fun. I have been waiting to post these pictures because I knew I would have a difficult time deciding which pictures to post. I wanted to post so many and, even though it does not seem like it, I really did limit myself!

The birthday boy with Mommy...

and Daddy...
Th cousins having their hot dogs (thanks Papaw for the table!).
The birthday boy having his lunch, including his fair share of Cheetos (he really is a Wilson).

Papa in the birthday spirit!

Aunt Stacey and Kristin...

Nathan with his presents...

Nathan with his new nap mat. Now that he will be in the toddler class, he needs a nap mat (thanks Mimi!).

Luke "enjoying" his gift from Grammy and Papa. Such thoughtful grandparents, all the grandparents and the boys' great grandmother sent Luke a gift on Nathan's birthday (it's like they've done this before or something).

Got a little "Captain" in you?

Papa and the birthday boy!

Grammy and the birthday boy!

The Elmo cake...

Mmmm mmmm...

End of story!

Happy Birthday Big Boy!

The Big Day

Yesterday was Nathan's first birthday. I was able to spend all day with him and Luke. Here are a few pictures from Nathan's big day.

A Happy Meal for lunch...

Nathan's first ride in a forward facing car seat...
Happy Boy after a breakfast of blueberry waffles! You can also see that Nathan finally has a couple of teeth. I was beginning to wonder if he would have any teeth to eat his birthday cake with!

I wish I could express what a sweet baby Nathan has been this year. He is absolutely the cuddle-er between him and Luke. Last night Nathan had some trouble going to sleep. It was really a blessing because I was able to hold him, just the two of us, and he cuddled close and fell asleep. It was a great way to end our first year together.

Just a Minute

Wow, you walk in the next room to put away some towels and this is what you come back too.

What's the big deal Mom? I'm just reading a book!

It's a long way down!

The New Bike

For Luke's birthday, Jeff and I got him a tricycle.

He was a little excited (and so was Nathan).
Nathan loves to get on the "bicle" so Luke just takes whatever seat is left.

Freestylin'

Lazy Friday

The boys having a Friday afternoon snack.

Hmmm, I finished all my snack. Your snack looks pretty good Luke.
I'm not above eating what you dropped! A Goldfish is a Goldfish!

Luke's payback. I'll have some of that fruit, little brother.

Summer Days

These are a few pictures of some fun the boys were having at home.

OK Mom, enough with the pictures!
Luke loves his hat (even when he wakes up grumpy from a nap).

What, my head is not that big. Just because this is my big brother's hat and it is a size 4-6 years does not mean I have a big head. I blame my Daddy.

Luke loves to play with Jeff's hat.

Thanks

Thanks everyone for coming to Luke's birthday party! This is Luke saying Thank You!
