Last Sunday we had a great time celebrating Maddox’s 1st birthday! I’ve known I was going to do this theme for quite some time now.

We took some family pictures a couple of weeks ago to capture Maddox at a year old! My brother, Logan, is such a good photographer and he took these. We lucked out with the location.

I can’t believe it’s June 15 already and Maddox’s birthday is in a couple of weeks. I’m really unprepared…but I usually work best under pressure! We have been busy this month doing some things around the house! Building a playhouse outside.
