Weston's 1st Birthday

My little Weston Reid McClung was born a year ago and has brought great joy to our family each day of his precious life.  Wow, I can't believe he is one.  When I think back about his first year of life I know without a doubt he has been such a blessing.  Adjusting to two little ones was a little difficult and sometimes I had a harder time figuring him out.  I found myself in the beginning comparing him to his sister when she was a baby.  I have thrown that out the window now.  Why I did that I do not know.  This little fellow is his own unique self!  I am so glad for that.  I watch him grow, learn, follow his sister, throw his peas, smile, laugh like no other baby I have heard, throw fits when he doesn't get his way (which I found started very early...guess he learned quickly from his sis how that works), pull all the toilet paper out, "sprint" to the door when it is opened, cuddle with Sebastian, smile when he sees the people he loves and with each day my love for him only grows stronger. As a mother I realize, I want the very best for my children and I want to be the very best mom for them.  I hope and pray as Weston (and Macie) grow that I am able to teach them all the things they need to learn, inspire them, and help them comprehend this LOVE I have for them and on top of that comprehend that God's love is even greater..  When I watch Weston sleep or feel his sweet body against mine when we cuddle, I thank God that He gave Weston to me.  As with Macie, I am going to blink and Weston will be at his second birthday.  I look forward to this year of his life and all the things that he will experience and learn.   I have a feeling he is going to spend some time in time-out because he messes with the decorations, I say no, and he looks at me like "what are you going to do about it."  I also look at him and think he is going to charm the socks off us.  We often sing this little tune and we say, "Weston Reid, Weston Reid, what are we going to do with our Weston Reid?"  I know we are going to love him to pieces and enjoy all these moments.

I couldn't be more pleased with how adorable the cakes turned out!  Oh my I just hated to cut into them!

Thank you Grammy and Papaw for spending the day with me and for the firetruck station.  Weston was needing boy toys!

"Let's Party!"

Sweet sweet cousins.

Byron, Tatum, and Blair dressed "cowboy" for the party!

Presents went fast with great helpers.

Weston's friends: Jackson and Jillian, Blake and Blair, Jacob and Colton, Kaiden and Madden, Hayden and Walker, Byron and Tatum, Addison, Alyssa, and Myka.

Weston knew exactly what to do once he got his birthday cake in front of him.  He went to town and it looked like he devoured about half of the cake before he threw his arms up in the air flinging cake on the wall to say, "I have had enough."

We celebrated Weston's birthday on his actual birthday too! Nonnie and Pappy didn't get to attend Weston's birthday because my poor brother had to have his appendix out.  They went to Tulsa to be with him and the boys.  Thankfully he is now doing better.  What a scare that was for all of us!  Pappy and Nonnie brought Jackson, Cage, and Brandt home with them.  So we PARTIED AGAIN!

Weston loves cake and icing!  There is no question about it.  How cute can he get?!?!!!! His cousins were thrilled too!  They ate lunch quickly so they could dive into their cupcakes.

Right before I was taking him out of the chair, he covered his face with icing.  I totally expected this at the birthday party.  It doesn't look like it bothers him a bit.

Thanks Nonnie and Pappy for the sports center.  It is a big hit.
