Then Luke and Banks got there just in time for lunch...
Even though Brayden HATED the actual inflatables at Monkey Joes, he sure enjoyed the company! It was a nice day out for the mommies too :)
It's funny to think that not that long ago we were hanging out at Irmo football games...now we're hanging out with our kids. Crazy!
After pictures we went to the shushi bar for dinner. Another great day of spring break!
Brayden spent the morning with daddy while mommy went and got her toes made pretty and a hair cut! Then after nap time, we went to Party City to pick up some birthday party things (this makes me VERY excited!).
Brayden hung out at the storm door a good bit while daddy attempted to wash the pollen off our cars and mow the grass.
Then daddy baby proofed the house! YEAH!! This has been long overdue and it started to be a safety issue for our little one. He understands no-but doesn't always listen at this point, so we wanted to make sure he is kept safe! 
Brayden desperately wanted to help daddy out!
Can you see the importance of getting the house baby proofed?? Notice anything unusual about this picture????
WELL!-There is NOT supposed to be a towel IN the tub with Brayden. I was changing out the toilet paper on the roll when I turned around to find this....
Trying on the outfit daddy bought me!
The hat doesn't fit quite yet! 
Although we came back with very little, we had a great time spending time together in NC for the day :)
I went running into his room several times to the sound of what seemed to be him gasping for breath. We ran the steam in the bathroom just like you see in old movies, tried a breathing treatment, and listened to this horrible sound/cough all night long. So...first thing Monday morning we headed to see Dr. W. 
He assured me my tears were worth it and convinced me my baby boy was going to be okay. After an antibiotic and steroid prescription were written, we were on our way. He even gave us the "OK" to head to NC for a day of shopping-said getting out would do him (and his stressed out mommy) some good. I love how our pediatrician never makes me feel crazy for bringing him in!
Dr. W did, however, give us one scary warning. He expected that night to be worse than the one we had. He said if he had another croup attack we were to immediately strap him in the car seat, roll down all 4 windows, and drive like mad to the hospital. HOSPITAL-says mommy! He assured me that the air should calm the attack and most likely I would end up turning back around before reaching the hospital, but just in case-to head that way. Seriously...
Checking out his Easter basket...his new balance shoes were inside!
Trying to get a picture of us both looking at the camera and smiling!
Because of a horrible virus Brayden had this week, we didn't get to go to church because of his high fever. Afterwards, we met our family at Great Granddaddy Joe's for lunch! With the help of our friend "Motrin" we were able to have a great meal together.
Brayden in his precious bunny outfit. Can't believe we bought this before he was even born. It looked SO big then!
Walking around the house trying to find that crazy Easter Bunny with mommy!
We had a great Easter and we hope you did too!
So now instead of lying around in front of the TV in the mornings, you can find Brayden (and Cali) at our new door!
#2: Find all of the MANY socks that need a mate-I know they are somewhere in this house!
And while Brayden brings happiness wherever he goes...we were NOT there for a joyous occasion. We were saying goodbye. Goodbye to our precious Sassy. This morning she had to be put down. Our hearts are breaking and she will be forever missed. Sassy was 17 and her mind finaly failed her. I think the hardest part for us is we started to see her as "untouchable". Most dogs don't live that long and we got in the mindset that she would live forever. 
I'm so sad to know Brayden won't remember her. We love you our sweet Sassy! No other dog will ever compare!
