happy late birthday, wilson!

SUNDAY, august 5th, was my sweet wilson's 18th birthday. wow. 18 years. time has flown! hate to use the old cliche, but it really does "seem like yesterday" that crump was spending the night at our house while key was in the hospital having wilson. i had hoped he would be a she, but we got mary key several years later!!!

wilson is a senior at pillow academy. he loves to hunt, play football, and be with his friends. he is so much fun to be around and tommy and i look forward to (maybe) seeing him when we are in greenwood.

below are some pictures and below each picture is a description.

we love you, wilson!!!!!



i was the acolyte when wilson was christened. this is at st. john's united methodist church in greenwood sometime in the fall of 1989.



wow. this was at my graduation - may 1996. mary key was about 2 weeks old. wilson was 7 and crump was 9. i did not think they would make it to see me graduate (with mary key being a newborn and all), but they surprised me and were there!!



if you read in april when i did something like this for crump's birthday, you know that tommy & i did something for these boys (and in a few years we will do it for mary key) when they were 15. crump went on a cruise. wilson went with us on the train to chicago. we had a blast - and i walked his legs off on the magnificent mile!!! may 2004.



this was at crump's baccalaurate service. sorry if i didn't spell that right. i was a big 1 week and a few days away from having mary peyton - thank goodness mary key hid my big belly!!! i love this picture, though, of me and my sweet "kids". may 2006



mary peyton and her uncle 'isson. she LOVES wilson and looks for his picture constantly in our kitchen!!! february 2006



wilson and "baula". i think mary peyton was trying to say bella for stella, but it sounds like paula with a b. they have been dating since the week mary peyton was born. we love stella! and i think this picture is too cute of them!!! december 2006

my sweet wilson - all grown up. i mean really, go back and look at the christening picture and then jump to this one. kinda breaks my heart, you know!?!?! but he is a great guy and we love him lots!!! may 2007

***p.s. i'll post pictures of his bikini cake that i made him when i download august pictures! stay tuned...***
