I can’t believe our little guy turned ONE yesterday! His first birthday! It seems like just yesterday we were patiently waiting for his arrival. This past year has been such a blessing for us and our family! The Lord has taught Jay and I so much and it has been a year of growth, lots of learning, and joy! It has been a full year and I’m excited and eager to see our little man learn and grow. Sooo I am going to be a proud momma for a moment and post some pictures of his little birthday :)
These adorable cupcake toppers are from this etsy store. Too cute!
Getting ready to dive in….
MMMhmmm…
Lots of puzzles and books! (That’s my lovely mom in the background) :)
After his party we went over to a farm with our friends….
Haha….I think he was getting a little tired (and probably had WAY too much sugar from the cake!)
Those little teeth!!!
Happy first birthday Leland! :)

I love these pictures. Your son has grown so much since I started following your blog! Crazy to watch a child grow via technology. I literally get to see him in stages. So crazy?? Miss seeing more of your posts but I know the Lord is doing a work in your life and life is more than blogging. ha ha I’m just needy.
blessings girl

Thank you so much Penny! :)
what a sweet boy! They really are growing too fast ;)Happy birthday Leland!
I have been reading your blog for a while now, and for the first time today I have the guts to comment :)
I don’t share your religious views. But what we do have in common, is our moral values. How to raise someone, how to be well behaved, I’m really old fashioned in that sense, but to me, it’s really important. I have a question for you.. What if Jay didn’t share your religious views, would he still be the one? My fiancé is a very religious person, and he seems bother him a bit. I try to reassure him, by telling I would NEVER EVER question his beliefs, because I respect faith and absolutely understand it. Do you think it’s possible to have a long happy life with someone different from you in that sense? Thank you for your answer, congratulations on your lovely son turning one :)

Hi Mathilda!
Thank you so much for your comment :) I truly appreciate it! Thank you for the question too! If Jay didn’t share my same religious beliefs, I am not so sure if he would still be the one. I say this because my faith and what I believe is a BIG part of who I am so for me to spend my life with Jay- who didn’t believe the same as me- I am sure that there would be plenty of arguments and disagreements. I have heard of many people who marry their spouse who has a different religion and different beliefs and they make it work. But for me, personally, my beliefs make up who I am so I am thankful that I married Jay who is on the same page as me.
Thank you again! :)
Love,
Arielle
Oh, so much fun! I remember my little boy’s first birthday and his first taste of cake, he loved (loves) it. :)
Happy birthday Leland!
