Happy Valentine's Day!

Hayden had a very good Valentine's Day this year! He went to school and had a big party with cupcakes, finger sandwiches, fruit and veggie trays and MORE! Then all the kids exchanged their valentine's with eachother. Hayden took Power Ranger Valentine's inside goodie bags full of candy for his friends. When we got home, Hayden had a Big Valentine bucket full of special treats just for him from mommy and Daddy! He was so excited! Scott is working nights right now so he wasn't home but he met me for a Valentine's Day lunch instead.

1st Boating Day of the Year...

Scott has been anxiously awaiting a warm day to take the boat out! The three of us were out on the Ashley River for a couple hours today. It was a little windy at times but a very beautiful day. We had such a great time! It was so nice being out in the fresh air just relaxing. We are really looking forward to Spring!

Working Out With Mommy!

I have been working out each night on the treadmill and bow flex to try and drop these last stubborn pounds! After watching mommy every night for the last 3 weeks, Hayden had decided that he could use a little work out himself! :) I walked in my office last night to find Hayden using the treadmill all by himself! Kind of scared me at first but he did great! After that, he decided to do a little dancing. Then to the couch for a much needed break! WHEW...was he tired! :)

My 30th Birthday Celebration!

WOW! I really have the best husband, family, and friends in the world! My Birthday was so special this year! It all started with my husband giving me a beautiful watch at 12:01AM on Friday morning. I had to get up early for work but I was only there until 12:30 so that was a nice & short work day! Then it was off to the airport to pick up my Best Friend Jennie who flew in from Omaha Nebraska. In the Meantime, Mimi and Hailey drove down since they were going to stay with Hayden all night. Jenny and Jamie later arrived as Scott, Jennie, and I finished getting ready for my big night! As we pulled up front to Wild Wings for dinner, I was greeted with a TON of Pink & White balloons and a room full of my closest friends here in Charleston. We all sat around talking, having some cocktails, and eating a delicious dinner. They showered me with gifts and pinned & crowned me with "30th Birthday" favors. My husband ordered me the most beautiful "pink" cake I have ever seen! After singing the birthday song and taking a bunch of pictures, it was off to have some fun in downtown Charleston! The best part was that our designated driver was an 18 seat Ford Excursion limousine. We had an absolute BLAST!!! Singing, dancing, drinking, and just having a great time with friends and family! I couldn't have dreamed of a better way to spend my birthday!!

Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope everyone enjoyed this special day! I was hoping to have tons of great pictures to share today but it's been a very odd past couple of days. It started with taking my mother to the emergency room Saturday night. She's been at my house with a very bad stomach infection. Hayden woke up this morning to what I thought would be a very excited, anxious little boy. Instead he became very sick to his stomach and throughout the day, has passed it to Scott and now me. We have not left the house today and not one picture taken as we have felt VERY ill all day. I was SO looking forward to a nice long weekend with family and friends. We were so sad to not make it to Camden and we missed our family so much!!! We did get to spend time with some close friends on Sunday for lunch (I'll be posting those pictures later) and other than a little last minute shopping, that's about all we've done. I hope everyone else has had a better day than we've had. I look forward to seeing everyone soon.

Date Night!

Scott and I enjoyed our date night Friday night. We went to dinner in downtown Charleston around 8:30 then we went to have a few cocktails. I was even able to get Scott onto the dance floor for a song or two! :) We had a very nice time, just the two of us. We don't get to spend a lot of quality time together by ourselves so we really enjoyed that. Hayden was at home with Grandma baking Christmas tree cupcakes and watching a Christmas movie. Hayden has so much fun when Grandma stays with us. We appreciate all she does for us!

Festival Of Lights

Scott, Hayden, and I went to the James Island Festival of Lights last Thursday night. We enjoyed the evening so much! It was just cool enough to enjoy it but not freeze! Hayden's favorite part of the evening was the train ride and the fire truck made of lights. My favorite part was just spending a relaxing evening with my family during this holiday season!
