Let them eat cake!
Celebrating Kate and Wright's first birthday was a blast! We started on birthday morning with a decorated door and highchairs. Will and I sang to them and gave them decorated homemade muffins which they enjoyed. They both clapped for us after singing!
After lunch we took them to the aquarium...they loved the schools of fish and all the fun colors!
Mid week we had their 12 month checkup and they are doing great! They were both moving around the room, taking a step here and there and turning on the charm for the doctor and nurse...well until the shots :(
Wright: 23 lbs 12 oz (65%), 29 1/2 inches long (30%) and a 93% percentile head
Kate: 19 lbs 8 oz (24%), 28 inches long (18%) and a 70% percentile head
We had such a great time at their birthday party! They were so lucky to be surrounded by family and friends. They had most of their great grandparents, grandparents and some aunts, uncles and cousins!
Wright spilled water on his outfit so was "without pants" for a time period..didn't miss a beat
Kate was REALLY ready to dive into her cake
They really enjoyed the balloons, playing outside and their CAKE!

First trip to Mountains and Clemson

Enjoying an afternoon in Brevard, NC
We picked a beautiful weekend to be in the mountains. The leaves were changing and the weather was perfect!
Kate and Wright love to swing!
As we quickly approach Kate and Wright's first birthday I started to think about how many posts have started with their "firsts". This past year has been an abundance of firsts not just for Kate and Wright, but for all of us!
A few weeks ago Will and I packed up the family and we headed northwest towards the mountains. We left after lunch before nap and planned to stop at my sisters new house in Spartanburg for dinner before arriving in the mountains just in time for bed and bath. Of course I had it all planned....about 30 miles from Spartanburg we were in deadlock traffic...and didn't move for almost 2 hours! Kate and Wright did so great and were troopers while we were detoured off of 26, daddy found a cut through road, realized there was no access ramp and found another cut through, and finally arrived at Joanne and Andy's 5 1/2 hours later! We ended up staying there which was fun. Taylor loved that we were their first house guests and was so sweet! The next morning we drove to the mountains and enjoyed a beautiful day in Brevard. We took Kate and Wright into town and had lunch, window shopped, went to a huge toy store and gave them their first taste of ice cream. On Saturday we drove down the mountain to Clemson where we had a huge tailgate with family and friends and enjoyed a beautiful day and football game.

First girls trip to Texas
Kate and I flew to Texas to visit the Sullivans and have some much needed girl time! She did great on the flight and loved all the special attention from me, Jocelyn and her girls. She adjusted well to the change in time, bed and toys. We were able to play with Sarah, Carolina and Patton as well! It was very hard for me to be away from sweet Wright, but he was home with daddy and his gran and grandad. I am already planning a special trip for me and him!
Kate and I preparing for our first flight together
After we landed safely Kate sat in the big girl seat and watched all the people
We went Saturday to the Rainforest Cafe for lunch. We had quite a table! We celebrated Carolina's 1st birthday (a little early) with a lava cake.
