Throw Back, a day late (again.)

It's that time of year, my official last weekend of summer. Last year, I spent it differently than I normally do because of one of my favorite little friends wedding. Carolina had another Thursday night game to kick off the holiday weekend (just like last night, where we finally kicked some butt! Yes, I know it wasn't against a super awesome team, but whatevs...a W is a W right?)

We have a man cave, a garage, a shed...whatever you want to call it. Mikey thinks it is his little piece of heaven b/c I essentially told him he could do whatever he wants back there and I don't care! No rules, no decorations, no cleaning...he's in heaven! The man cave/garage/shed is gross, so I really don't care about hanging out in there. However, it has come in handy for many late night games of "survivor" flip cup and game watching. He set up two tv's in there so that we could have a bunch of people over to watch games, hang out, etc. if we want. *although, i do have plans to eventually make it a little nicer, incorporate a work out area, etc.* for now it is what it is. We wanted to have people over for a football watching party since our game was out of town. So, this was the perfect occasion to get a little use out of our man cave/garage/shed.

My wonderful parents.
Intense game watching.

Two most important men in my life!
Friday after work, we headed up to Greenville for the wedding weekend. The rehearsal dinner started the festivities off at Larkin's on the River downtown, it was delicious!

girls with the bride!

da men.


After the dinner, we found this random bar that was having a DJ...we continued to have our own Super Dance Party for the rest of the evening. We were like the ONLY people there, but it was definitely a night I won't forget!
Sweet hubs and I at the wedding.
with the bride and groom!
loves.
fabulous friends.
The weekend was jam packed and tons of fun. We headed home Sunday to spend the day on the lake, somehow I guess I didn't take pictures of that. Monday was the Chapin Labor Day Parade, which I always went to growing up and had to cheer in for 6 years...but now that we typically spend the holiday weekend in Beaufort, this was my first time back in years. It was a fun day filled with family.

My brother taking my sweet niece down the slide at the Labor Day parade last year.
This year, we will be heading back to Beaufort to spend the long weekend with family. I think the ladies are actually going to spend some time doing some touristy things downtown for a change. I have never been on a carriage ride in downtown Beaufort and this is something I have been dying to do. Ladies lunch downtown complete with a tour of the beautiful historic city sounds like the perfect Saturday to me. I will be reserving ONE full day to get in my last rays of summer on the beach. I still can't believe this is the end. Why does it seem to fly by? Yes, I know it will still be 90 degrees or higher for another month here in south cacalack...but this is the last Saturday we don't have football or a wedding. Better enjoy it while I can!

have a lovely labor day.

To my boys {almost two months late}

MY BOYS: A whole hand.   I can’t believe it.   The past five years have gone by at lightning speed!   You two silly, crazy, sweet, handsome boys celebrated FIVE like you do all other things- with genuine excitement and happiness in your hearts.   Y’all love life to the fullest and have the best imaginations- I could sit and listen to the two of you “play and talk” to each other ALL the live long day.   Y’all rarely fight, but when you do you make up within like 12 seconds, you boys are so different, but yet so the same.   You’ve both grown up in SO many ways and sometimes I have to blink to remind myself you are still my babies (because you are and always will be) but you both still have remnants of “babyhood” that I sure hope stays around a little longer.   It’s been a complete JOY to be your mama the past five years, as much as I want to keep you this AGE FOREVER, I know it’s not possible and am excited to watch you two grow and blossom in l...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...
