My 1st Birthday Party

Happy Birthday to you,

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday Dear Nicholas,

Happy Birthday to you!

This icing tastes pretty good!

I think I'll have some more...

Here's Nick's cake before it is destroyed.

Here Mommy, have a bite!

It looks like he's turning yellow from all of the icing.

Vroom, Vroom. Open up Daddy!

Good job, Daddy! I love the smiles on their faces.
Here's Nick's cake after it he destroyed it.

We got to celebrate Nick's 1st birthday with family and friends. We are truly blessed to have so many special people in our lives.

Bye Bye Swing

Nick thought he would help pack up his swing so he crawled onto the box and got to work.
Such a big helper!

1 year portraits

Nick's warming up to our photographer.
I love kissing those cheeks!
Someone's excited!!
Can't believe our little baby is 1.
Just make yourself comfortable.


Check out my teeth. All 4 of them!
Angel face

In the kitchen

I love getting into the cabinets! I never know what I'm going to find.


My work here is done. Time to raid the bathroom cabinets!

Moon Rattle

No Hands! He cracks me up!

Paci time

Nick saw his paci and put it in his mouth, upside down.

He doesn't seem to mind.

If only I knew what he was thinkin'... Daddy has seen this

look before from Mommy. He must come by it naturally.

Waving Bye Bye!

Found another paci and notice its upside down again!

Onto Grandpa & Grandma Church's house

Nick just woke up from his nap and Trace couldn't
stay awake any longer.

My 1st Christmas at Grandma-ma & Grandpa's

I think these are all for me!! Ho ho ho!

Wow! Santa found me in Kansas at
Grandma-ma & Grandpa's house

Such a big helper.

This playhut is fun!

Peek a boo!

I think you should go with this
hairstyle, Grandma-ma.

My 1st Christmas continued in Emporia

Great Grandma Schmidt





Hamming it up for the camera.

What a cutie!


Nick got to meet his cousin, Bronwynn.

Someone found the central vac outlet and had
fun opening and closing it.

Watch this!


Teamwork!

My 1st Christmas in Texas

I like this curly ribbon!

Its fun scrunching and shredding paper!
