First Beach Day of the Season!


One of the many joys of living in Wilmington NC, is that you can go to the beach in April! We loaded down the car with beach supplies and headed to Wrightsville Beach with Christina and Will. I couldn't have asked for McKinley to love the beach anymore. He had such a great time!! He loves playing in the sand and the water. And he kept his sunglasses on! I am so happy that he enjoyed himself so much because there are many more beach days in our near future!

Rollin' to Raeford

Mama Bebon, Jon's Grandma and one of McKinley's Great Grandmothers, lives in Raeford, NC. We went for a visit one Sunday in April and look what we found to play with while we were there! Such a cool guy!

3131 Camden Circle


Here are some pics of our new place! We love being in a house and not the condo! We have a really nice sized back yard and front yard and I have started planting flowers and vegetables. We play outside almost every day! We also like to grill on our deck!

Uncle Brad

Uncle Brad Dawson with McKinley at McKinley's First Birthday party.

We love Uncle Brad. When we first met him he was living in High Point, NC working at a Toyota dealership. Now, he lives in Columbia, SC and is the Sales Manager at a Toyota dealership!! Yay for Uncle Brad! Also, he is celebrating 6 years of sobriety with AA. We are sooo proud of him for all his accomplishments! We can't wait to go visit him in Columbia and we hope he visits us at the beach soon as well!

The circus came to town!



Dad and Bubbers ready to go to the circus!



Watching the clowns.

The circus was, well, interesting. It was hot and kinda smelly. We had a good time and we are glad we went. McKinley acted amazingly for being in a huge crowd filled with characters from all regions of Nowhere, NC, not to mention the numerous clowns and circus figures. It was a good test for him and now we know that he can handle big crowds full of strangeness!

Spring at Hugh MacRae Park






Hugh MacRae is a park in the middle of Wilmington. These are some pictures I took on a walk with McKinley while we enjoyed the warm spring weather. McKinley enjoys taking walks and saying either "Dog dog dog" at the passing animals or "Ball ball ball" at everything else!

Easter 2010

The Girls


The Lil Boy with Aunt Christina

Easter came quick this year, along with the beautiful blooms. I always feel extra blessed on Easter and the feeling in the pollen laden air this year didn't disappoint. Church was filled with prayers, hymns, and Easter lilies displaying their white trumpet flower with pride. While some graced the pews, others hit the greens with the first Golf game of the season.
Count your blessings and be thankful.

Here I am with Daddy, enjoying some party goers and the beautiful day we had! It was like summer!!

Yes, cake time!!! I can't believe Mommy let me have a whole cake to myself! It was chocolate icing and yellow cake inside and said "Mack Daddy" on it!

The cake has been officially destroyed, let's move on to presents while I have a sugar high!


I let Mommy and Daddy help me open some of my presents! They looked like they were having so much fun!


Checking out some new toys! Can't wait to get these home and tear into them!




Thank you so much everyone for the greatest First Birthday ever! I have the best Family and Friends a little guy could ask for!! Love you all!
