Thadeus's 1st Birthday!

Can you believe it!!! It has been a whole year since I was in Labor and Delivery getting ready to have my second baby boy Thadeus Luke Park! He has brought me so much joy in such a hard and challenging year. He has such a sweet and loving spirit. I know he will grow up to be something special. I am so proud to be his mother and excited for the years to come.

Now to his Little Birtday Party we had. I was just planning on just having cake for Thadeus to dig into, but my dear friend Milissa Merrill insisted on having it at her house. So we did. I went there and she had cute decorations up and balloons. It was a nice surprise to see how much she cared. We had a nice BBQ with Milissa, Hazel, and Milissas family (mom and dad and sister Annie, who I am good friends with as well). Now before I get ahead of myself I will explain why we call Thadeus, "KING THADEUS!" It is simply because he thinks and acts like he is King! lol But seriously, he would not feed himself until a few weeks before his birthday, not because he couldn't do it, only because he didn't want too. So that is why we started the King Thadeus nickname! Which he still holds today!

Here is a sweet picture of my sweet baby boy!

Singing Happy Birthday! Look at that sweet face. He loved us singing to him.

King Thadeus would not touch the cake! lol He looked at it and just did not want to get dirty.

He would only eat it if we feed it to him... hahahahaha My KING THADEUS!!!

I finally pushed his hand in the cake. He wasn't happy that I did that! But what is a 1st Birthday without a messy 1 year old covered in cake.

One of the only times he actually feed himself.

Hazel and Eli were not shy with helping him out. They enjoyed eating cake with there hands.

Older brother helping him out!

Thadeus hates wearing hats! Takes them right off! But had to get a picture of it on him!

He was done. Mad that he was messy!

This is him all done!~ Not much of a mess! lol Afterward we opened presents, which grandparents and friends were very nice to get Thadeus so much. He got puzzles, cars, outfits, toys, a dragon walking toy, special car toys from disneyland, and a wagon from DAD! Spoiled rotten! Thank you all for your presents. Thadeus loves all of them. And Bonus Eli seems to think they are all for him!

Well I just want to end with saying how much I love being a mother and a wife to my amazing boys! Time is going by so quickly! I love my growing family and am so grateful to be sealed to them for all eternity. What an amazing blessing. Something I thank the Lord for everyday!
