Braxton being a very brave boy and pets a snake at the SEWE
Over the last couple of months we were lucky enough to enjoy a quick trip to Charleston over Valentine's Day weekend which also coincides with the South Eastern Wildlife Expo. I had very high hopes for this weekend that Braxton would be able to interact with a ton of cool animals. Well...mother nature had her own agenda and it rained the entire time. We had a great time anyway. We went with Aunt Ses and her crew, met papa as well as Ryan, Blake and a few friends and even met up with Ashley (my sister's sister in law and good friend of mine) and her fam. It was nasty weather, but we made the best of it. And to top it off had a great burger at Ye Old fashion Ice Cream...it doesn't get any better than that. After the Expo we took the kids to an indoor jump castle and let them exert some energy.
We were supposed to have a date night with Leslie and Rhett. Grandmomma was going to watch the kids so we could enjoy a much needed night out. We even bagged on that and ended up with take out from Outback...my how times have changed!
Lovin' with Aunt Sessie
Jump Castle fun with daddy.
We decided to do a quick getaway this past weekend and enjoy a relaxing weekend at Bald Head. It was just the three of us and we had a great time. It was really cold, so when we weren't enjoying movies by the fire, we were out and about all snuggled up cruising the island or taking the nature trail. We really had a fantastic time!

I promise my intentions are not to wait 2 months in between blogs, but time literally flies by. We have been busy folks and having a great time. Braxton is growing so much and literally amazes me everyday with what he says. As much as I would like to paint a completely rosy picture - not the case at all. Last week was a very trying week for us. For some bizarre reason, Braxton has decided to strip down and we I say strip down, I mean pants..socks..and shoes, and throws them. Apparently he does this when he is asked to do something he doesn't like or just has built up frustration. In addition to the stripping he may throw a kids chair or two or may even attempt to hit or kick. Let me tell you how upsetting it was to hear this last week. Even the girls at the gym pulled me out of class due to him acting out. This is one we are nipping in the bud...quick!
He really is growing up so fast - just last night he told me "uh-huh..no worries mommy!" Wonder where he gets that from?!?
We have to do a special shout out to our cousins Sean and Anna who both turned three in February and March. Happy Birthday Guys - we miss you, love you and hope to see you soon!
Papa came up for a visit. We absolutely love the one on one time. It was a great visit. And of course it wouldn't be complete without Papa fixing a batch of his infamous pancakes that Braxton now asks for EVERY weekend.
Now we are focused on planning a special someone's 3rd birthday party. I still can't believe my little guy is going to be 3 next month..yikes!
