Tyler Turns One!

It's so hard to believe Tyler is one year old already, and before you know it, Benjamin will be turning 4! This past weekend was very fun-filled and busy! Earlier in the week, Jay's Mom arrived in town, and the boys enjoyed sharing Memere time and getting together with their cousin Emmi....On Friday night, My brother, a.k.a. "Uncle Pete" arrived from Pawley's Island, SC with his girlfriend Kristi, and her daughter Sophia who we absolutely adore! Also with them was my Mom, a.k.a. "Gaga" who flew into the beach to attend and celebrate my brother's baptism on Sunday! We had a lot of fun, as the boys and we always love spending time with family when they come to town!



The weather was absolutely beautiful on Saturday, which was Tyler's actual birthday! We began the day with Benjamin having a whole cheering section of his own at his morning soccer game, with all of our family from out of town, as well as Aunt "T" and cousin Emerson also rooting him on. Benjamin is continuing to warm up to it all, but once he is in there playing, he definitely enjoys himself as you can see from the photo! We are very proud of him, and just glad he is having fun! Later in the afternoon, we held the party (with family and our neighbor's The Creech's and the Dill's) outdoors since it was such a warm and beautiful day- as you can see, Tyler hung in with the big kids and enjoyed playing (and getting wet and dirty) at the sand and water table as a one-year old little boy should!


We need to remember to turn the camera the other way when shooting a video so you don't have to view it sideways...in the mean time, since we don't know how to rotate it, please enjoy watching Tyler dig into his 1st birthday cake! He had no fear, and loved every bite! (as did his big brother!)
