Charleston Trip 5/8 - 5/10

When Matt's parents were here we went down to Charleston and had an AMAZING time! It was such a blast! The first day we toured all downtown Charleston on our self-guided walking tour. We walked all over the place.

We took our picture on some cannonballs





Our tour guide:




Taylor put on his own sunscreen... YUCK!







We cooled off playing in the Waterfront Park fountain




The next day we went to Magnolia Gardens- an old plantation home and gardens. They were really cool to see. Thanks Conrans- we had so much fun with ya'll and the boys sure miss you!

And we swam in the hotel pool

After the gardens we went and grabbed lunch and headed to the beach and arrived about the same time a HUGE storm did. They closed the beach just as Matt and Taylor were getting in and I didn't even get a picture!

Braydo's Birthday

We woke up a little earlier than he wanted... Taylor just couldn't wait any longer to sing Happy Birthday to him.

Matt's parents came in to town the day after Brayden's birthday so we waited until they got here to do cake and presents. The day before they came he had pasta for dinner- his favorite!

He LOVES cars right now so I made a cupcake car cake for him. He wasn't really into eating the cupcakes at all- just the mini M&Ms.

365 Days Ago

I looked like this:

Then at 1:19 pm our family grew to 4 with the addition to him

Taylor was too sure about this

But he slowly wamed up to the idea

Happy Birthday Brayden! (sorry your brother woke you up this morning. I know you were just wanting to sleep in on your birthday but he was so excited to see you!!!)
