One Year Pictures!
I took Dakoda to get his one-year pictures made yesterday while Darren baled hay. Dakoda wasn't feeling well, but he was a trooper, and we got some great shots! Here are a few favorites:

Happy (Late) Birthday Dakoda!
I just realized that I didn't post on Dakoda's first birthday (05.30), or after, with birthday pictures! OOOPS!! So here are a few pics, plus the slideshow that I made for him. Enjoy!
Mommy and Dakoda before his first haircut
Daddy and Dakoda getting ready for the haircut
After the haircut - Dakoda did not like having it done!
Birthday Cake!
Enjoying his smash cake
So excited about opening presents (and playing with the tissue paper, lol)
Waiting patiently for Mommy to give him another present to open
So tired after a long day!
And here is the slideshow of Dakoda's first year!

I've been Tagged!
Our friends Becky and Eve "tagged" us! So now I get to "tag" some other friends. Woohoo!
So here are the rules as to what I had to do and if you are one of my lucky seven mentioned below then you need to do the following, too:
1. Link your tagger and list these rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog .
Here are my seven
1. I am obsessed with the television show, Dawson's Creek. I have seen every single episode about 20 times, and can quote most of them.
2. If I hear a song that played on an episode of Dawson's Creek, I can tell you exactly what was happening in the episode when the song was playing. Weird, I know.
3. Whenever I visit a city where I know a movie or tv show was filmed, I have to go to the exact location and take a picture. Just 'cause.
4. I LOVE to read, and I have certain books that I re-read at least once a year. These include, but are definitely not limited to, Gone With the Wind, Scarlett, and all of the Harry Potter books.
5. My favorite place on Earth will always be Walt Disney World. I know this will sound really dorky, but it truly is a magical place. When you're there, you just feel like a kid again, no matter how old you really are. I love it!
6. I am one of those rare people who has known what they wanted to be when they grew up since preschool - a Mommy! Some people look down on stay-at-home mom's, but I think it's the best job in the world, and I am very lucky to be able to call myself one.
7. I HATE and am deathly afraid of slimy things that live in the water. This includes fish, crabs, lobsters, snakes, crawdads, jellyfish, SHARKS, and even seahorses.
Here are the people I am tagging.
1. Our Kindermusik friends, Elizabeth, Jonathan and Joseph
2. Our other Kindermusik friends, Kimberly and Ava
3. A fellow June mommy and baby, Mia and Aria
4. Another June mommy and baby, Nora and Nailah
5. A friend and wonderful photographer, Tina
6. Some BBC friends, Kira and Finn
7. More BBC friends, Dawn and Emelia

Home at last
We arrived home yesterday evening, safe and sound. Vacation was fun, but it is sure good to be home! We had a wonderful week on the Isle of Palms and touring Historic Charleston and the surrounding areas. We visited Patriot's Point, Fort Sumter, the SC Aquarium, Boone Hall Plantation, Whirlin' Waters Waterpark, and Blackbeard's Pirate Cove. We took a really great Civil War Walking Tour, where we found out all about Charleston's role in the War Between the States, and we also did a Ghost Hunt, which was not very scary, but still fun. We also had fun just hanging out with the family at the fabulous beach house that Aunt Kristy and Cynthia rented for us. Here are some pictures from our wonderful week.
Here are Dakoda and Darren getting ready to go swimming. Gotta love that farmer's tan! hehe
And here is Dakoda enjoying the kiddie pool at our beach house.
Dakoda loved playing in the sand, and of course, he put it right in his mouth.
He also LOVED the ocean! (Which was a little scary for Mommy!)

Vacation!
We are having a blast on the Isle of Palms! This is Dakoda's first time at the beach and he is absolutely LOVING it!! He enjoys playing in the sand, but he really wants to be in the water all the time. Every time we put him down on the beach, he crawls straight towards the ocean! So we are spending most of our time in the pool instead. Mommy says it's safer. :)
We went out to dinner at The Boathouse last night and Dakoda had crab legs for the first time. He LOVED it! Must take after his Daddy on that, because Mommy won't touch seafood.
Here is a picture of him eating crab meat.

More updates and pictures to come. We're off to explore Charleston's historical treasures!
