Happy 7th birthday to our adorable William!
February 25, 2018, we celebrated you turning 6 years old.
You were so excited for your birthday. Waiting for your party, you would ask, "How long till my birthday?" I was sure hoping people would be on time since you were counting down the minutes!
Parties at the Stewart home are always fun! Your theme for birthday #6 was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! The trampoline, as always, was a big hit...and of course, cupcakes!
You're a Lego Master...having been taught by your brother, Benjamin!
Going on walks is something your family loves to do...your Papa and I love walks, too.
In March, we took a walk, with you in control of our little black beast, Baxter!
I love this picture of the guys!
Your daddy, Benjamin, Baxter, you, and Papa
April was a lot of baseball!
We love to watch you play sports.
You and Benjamin both love to train Baxter!
He's in his 'Happy Place' when he's with you and Benjamin!
What a love you are, William!
You can be rough in your affection...but it's a sincere affection.
Your Saddie would tell you that your great grandfather was the same way.
The Stewart boys
Your mama sent me these pictures in May!
June was a busy month!
Benjamin's birthday celebration, more baseball, soccer, and a tailgate party before an Earthquakes game!
Look at that intensity!
I've told you you are a BEAST!
July was another busy month! You came to McKinleyville, we all met at Uncle Gabe's home, and you went to Colorado to see Saddie, Uncle Joshua and Aunt Erica, and Uncle John and Aunt Becky, and Addison, Soo, Remy, and Yuna!
You went to Chick fil A where you had your picture made.
Saddie loved having a lot of her great-grandkids with her!
We went swimming in Santa Rosa while your daddy, Uncle Gabe, and Papa worked on the condo.
When you came to McKinleyville, we went to the Annie & Mary Days.
There were some cool old cars and a sweet little petting zoo.
Inspired by the World Cup, there was a lot of soccer being played in Mimi and Papa's backyard.
Look at you in Baxter's crate!
Picking blueberries...
throwing the ball for Baxter...
We played some Corn Hole in the backyard...and then you were picking up leaves!
You were proud of your 'fork trick'!
There was plenty of watermelon!
Fun at Uncle Gabe's, hanging out with Emerson and Walt...(and Baxter)
Some little sweetheart turned 1 year old on August 12th! That would be Sullivan!
I came down a couple of days early to celebrate before taking off to Colorado.
Sullivan is going to grow up to be one tough little guy! He'll sure know how loved he is by his brother!
The end of September we were together to celebrate your cousin, Walt, turning 3 years old!
Barbequing in the backyard and a piñata, were some of the things we did at the party!
Mimi and Papa moved to Colorado in November.
I hope you keep great memories of being in this home!
Oh boy! That's what Papa and I said when you came to visit in December!
We went hiking with Brenda and her kids and also Uncle Joshua
It snowed on New Year's Eve...
guess who was having fun playing in it..
and making snowballs?
You with your 2nd cousins, Jackson and Owen.
Happy New Year, 2019...and Merry Christmas!
We celebrated our 'Christmas' on New Year's Day.
Aunt Erica and Thalia had been in southern California, so this was a day when we could be together.
You were excited...but oh so patient as we waited for everyone to get up.
There was a magazine in your stocking with the directions to make this owl.
On January 2nd, you and your dad made it. You asked me to take a picture and said I could put it in your book. That would be your birthday book...and I did!
Ahhhh, Will-I-Am...I loved this morning!
The sun was out and the snow was melting...
but you and Benjamin still built a snowman!
We had a few cold...very cold days...
It was perfect for snuggling and watching TV
and also for working puzzles!
The Train Museum was a destination while you were here in Colorado.
Baxter wanted to play ball...and you were happy to play with him!
My William!
We also went on a hike to Dinosaur Ridge.
The night before you flew home, we took some pictures with Saddie.
Now here it is FEBRUARY...
and you are turning 7 years old.
William, you are one special guy to your Papa and Mimi.
Happy happy happy 7th Birthday to you!
