1 Year Old and Growing Fast!

Happy Birthday to our sweet Lucas!
(Family- we are so sorry this is a belated birthday post!!)

Whenever we would hear parents say, "I can't believe how fast the time goes" or "enjoy every moment of it because it'll pass you by in the blink of an eye", we would always think to ourselves- I wonder if it really does go that fast!? And we're hear to say....it DOES! Even as I'm looking over all of his pictures from birth until now, I really can't believe how much he has changed and grown. His personality has been headstrong and opionated from day 1 and he remains that way to this day! I admire his strong will and confidence so much already at his age, along with his ability to be so friendly and trusting with people! He has such a contagious smile and spirit & the sweetest laugh :) We adopted Lucas a year ago, but he was carried in our hearts long before. We are so thankful for his birth mother and the example of strength and faith that she represents. We are thankful for her trust, and for Heavenly Father's trust in raising this amazing little boy into a faithful and respectable young man and future missionary. We honor and understand the importance of our role as his parents & are so grateful for each and every day.

We love you Lucas and wish you another year of growth, good health, happiness, and all the joy in the world lil man. Your Mom, Dad, Grandpas and Grandmas, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Birth Family, and Friends all LOVE you dearly!

We sang Lucas "Happy Bday" as he got ready to blow out his first birthday candle. My camera cut off at the very end of the song in the first video, so watch the second video to see the end of the song! The final video shows him chowin down on his Toy Story cupcake! Yum!
