May Recap




May was a really busy month for us. I feel like we spent the majority of it in the car or entertaining visitors! During the month of May we made two different trips to Georgia, both for graduations.


 At the beginning of the month we went for my sisters college graduation from the University of Georgia! We got to be there for a week because Brad actually did an externship that week so Brynn and I got to play while he worked all day. My niece, Zoe, was also in town so it was extra fun. We went to the zoo, had s'mores, and went "camping" in my parents living room.


Exactly a week after going home for my sisters graduation we found our selves sitting in urgent care with Brynn. She had a 104 degree fever. It was terrifying and we didn't get many answers as to what the cause was. She was so pitiful. They gave us lots of tips as to how to keep her temp down. At the same time we were in urgent care, my parents were on their way with my grandpa to visit for the weekend. Brynn was snuggled all weekend long as we tried to get her back to feeling well. I snuck away for a little bit to take my grandpa to Patriots Point. I'm so thankful that Brynn was in good hands while I was gone and that I got to soak up precious time with my Grandpa. My family left that Sunday, and then we "celebrated" mother's day. We still had a sick baby so it was full of sad snuggles. 2 days later Brynn broke out in a crazy rash, so I took her in. Turns out poor baby had Roseola. My heart still breaks when I think of how sad and pitiful she was that whole weekend. Thankfully she got better pretty quick and the whole thing lasted from Friday-Wednesday.



Two weeks later we found ourselves back in Georgia for Brad's youngest brother's high school graduation. Brynn stayed with her Honey & Dude while we attended the graduation ceremony and then the next day we went over to Brad's parents for a graduation party. We went swimming and played games outside and Brynn had a fun time with her cousins.


When we got back to Charleston we went to the Children's Museum for the first time with our friends Jillian and Benjamin. Brynn had such a fun time splashing at the water station and taking everything off the shelves in the mini grocery store.


May sure was fun and busy month for our little family. We also said goodbye to friends whose Dental School journey was over! It's so crazy to think that we will be the one's leaving at the end of the school year.

Smash Cake Photo Session


While my family was in town for Brynn's birthday back in April we did a cute little smash cake photo session. Brynn ate way too much cake that week between her actual birthday, her party, and this little photo session so I think she was a little burned out by the end of the week. But we still got some cute pictures of her. 


Brynn's birthday party was BBQ themed but I wanted something different for her cake smash session. My friend has a little girl who is a few weeks older than Brynn and she had the cutest backdrop from her smash cake session so I asked where she got it and it was actually just bulletin board paper form JoAnns. So my mom bought the paper and then we went from there. I found this really cute mint green cake plate in the Target dollar section and just had to get it. Mint green just speaks to me. So we went with mint and then because my sister, Colby, had mint green as one of her wedding colors we were able to borrow her bunting. So the whole thing was really affordable and turned out super cute!

I can't believe Brynn is already 15 months. I've been the worst about blogging so I'm going to be playing catch up for a little bit.
