Emily Maynard Johnson is celebrating her youngest child’s birthday in nature.

The former Bachelorette lead, 38 posted a sweet tribute to her son Jones West on Instagram on Sunday, Sept. 1. Jones turned 2 on Aug. 31.

Emily and her family took a bike ride in Virginia to celebrate, she told her followers in the caption of a carousel of photos and videos.

“Happy 2nd Birthday to our warrior boy, Jones! We celebrated with a creeper trail bike ride in VA,” she wrote. “Jones enjoyed it though!! Happy Birthday to our bright light! Love you so much, Jones!”

Jones smiled with a bike in the background of the first photo with the words “Birthday Boy” written across his front. Three of her sons rode bikes in the next photo.

The mom-of-six smiled while riding a bike in the next snapshot. Her bike had a trailer attached to it for kids to sit inside. She also included footage of her husband, Tyler Johnson, riding the bike, zooming in on Jones sleeping next to one of his sisters.

Emily is mom to Ricki, 19, whom she shares with her late fiancé Ricky Hendrick. She and Tyler share Jennings, 9, Gibson, 7, Gatlin, 6, Nola Belle, 3, and Jones.

“He’s the easiest baby and he’s just been our biggest blessing,” Emily told PEOPLE of Jones in 2022.

“But I wouldn’t change my life for anything,” Emily added at the time.
