by selecting toys placed under these bowls!

His favorite Dog=the underdog, the Car his favorite=the favorite!

So far, he has 6 of the elite 8..........and he's only 1....

their thoughtful cards and gifts!

JR Crusin' in his new ride!

Hanging out with daddy in his very own chair!

March Madness, here already?

We can't believe that March Madness is already here again...

It was exactly one year ago, we were laying in the hospital

watching our brackets and holding our little dude!

SEMO didn't make the dance, but JR still loves the Redbirds.

However, Mommy's Tigers will get the support of the Rauls house.....

(JR, one year ago--at home watching March Madness!)

the Deck's OPEN!

Joseph helped mom and dad clean

and open the deck for the summer!

Kinda' like an expensive outdoor play pin

--only with hoses and stuff.....

Happy Birthday 2-Me....

On the eve of JR's Birthday,

we take a quick look back at this last year!

The greatest year of our life,

Like fine wine!

We had a small celebration at home, in our PJ's-

The birthday girl and her cake, wait a minute 83?
