Will is 7

This is unbelieveable! Really...I cannot believe this little guy is 7. And from a recent photo a friend did for us...I think we are in for a heartbreaker with this one...

So, just incase you don't know Will as well as we do...

He is our snuggly kid. He likes to just sit next to us and have someone running their finger through his hair or playing with his hands. He will sit for hours that way. He is spunky and very funny. Things that matter deeply to other kids just don't phase him...but Willie G can really get stirred up if you hurt his feelings. He is cute and playful and has been an absolute joy in our family. Here's a photo stroll down memory lane...enjoy...

2003...ready to go home from the hospital!

2004...one year old

ummm....yeah, that's Will with his look-alike for sure...this guy looks just like my Dad!


now on to 2005...2 years old

2006...3 years old

2007...4 years old

2008...5 years old

2009...6 years old

Will has been quite an adventure. He had stitches by the time he was 9 months old, and a broken leg just before he turned 2. We thought we were "in for it" for sure...but really, he's just been plain fun. I cannot wait to see all the smiles and laughs that this 7 year old brings to our family! Happy Birthday Willie G!

Bluebonnet Beauty

I cannot resist sharing the photos we took in the bluebonnets yesterday. We found a great patch of them and nobody was around...it was just perfect! Eventhough it was cloudy, the kiddos are still squinting a bit. However, I have learned not to be too picky...if I wait for the perfect conditions I will never have pictures of my kids!

And of course...and sweetie one of the princess by herself. Little known fact...the brothers were in need of a restroom, so they ummmm..."watered" the bluebonnets in another area while we took this photo!Of course...once I started this, I couldn't resist a walk down "memory lane"...flower style!

2008

2007

I must have completely lost my mind in 2006, because I did not take a bluebonnet photo! Maybe they weren't good that year...or maybe, and I'm just sayin....I was pregnant and that accounts for quite a bit of scatter-brained things!

2005

2004...bluebonnets and wisteria

We did live in Austin in 2003, but I recall that year when the bluebonnets were blooming I was...ummm...having a baby! I think we did go out and take a few photos, but either they were terrible and got deleted, or they were taken by my mom and I didn't save them. Before 2003, we lived in places where bluebonnets were not...and that is sad! I love, love, love Austin in the spring...and this is a huge reason why! Thanks for letting me blog some beautiful memories!
