June 22, 2008 (Myrtle Beach, SC)

I spent my first birthday at Myrtle Beach with my Grandma Pat, Aunt Kim, my two sisters, and my two cousins Jerry Leigh and Kimmie (aka Peanut!!)
We had so much fun!

Look at me on the beach! Not sure that I like it...

Here I am being a good boy sitting in my cousin Jerry Leigh's lap. They are getting ready to sing me Happy Birthday!

Look at my cake! It was very good. Grandma Pat lov-ed it!!!

I didn't waste any time trying out this delicious cake! Thank you Aunt Kim for a wonderful time at the beach. WE love you bunches!

Look Who's Walking!!

Yeah!! I finally did it! I started taking my first steps at my birthday party! My Mommy and Daddy were so proud of me.


Look!! I can do two things at one time... walk and drink!

Getting to big for my crib?

Kind of looks like I am getting to big for my bed, huh?

Nope! I just decided to sleep the wrong way!

I love my Daddy!

My Very 1st Birthday Party

Look at all my family and friends!


Everyone is singing me a song. Something like "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!"


WOW!!! This stuff is yum-my!!

Almost gone!

Here is me tasting one of my new toys. Thank you everyone who came to my birthday party. It was a blast. I love you all!!

Here I am fast asleep! Growing up can make you really sleepy...

Drake vs. Solid Wood TV Tray

My big boo-boo!


Unfortunately as you can see... I did NOT win this battle. My ring finger is broke on my right hand. Now that it is bandage up, it helps me to remember that I cannot use it right now. Mommy said I was a good boy for letting the doctors and nurses take care of me at the hospital even though I was screaming bloody murder every time they touched my hand. I just want everyone to know that I am doing ok and I will be better soon.

Love, Drake

Surprise!!

Well... the evening started out kind of scary with a bad storm. The power was out for several hours. Mommy was stressing a little, b/c she thought things might not work out for Daddy's surprise party.


But, as soon as we walked into the restuarant to Surprise Daddy, the lights came on and everything was A-OK!


Make a wish Daddy!


Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate my Daddy's birthday. Hey Mayes and Maddox, check out my girlfriend sitting next to me. I hate you guys missed her. She is a real beauty!

Just Hangin' Around With Mom

Look at me...


Here I am trying to get Mommy's camera


My Mom is always doing laundry, so I thought I would pitch in and help out!

ME and My Beautiful Sisters

How lucky am I to have such beautiful sisters that love me very much! I love you Ashton and Joy!
