...and i'm back.

Sort of. I'm finally feeling better after that awful virus infected my body. I still feel sick, but compared to what I was feeling, I feel 100x better. That was just awful...I hate being sick.

Anyways, I've yet to share our New Years trip. We headed to Brevard, NC, which is only a little over 2 hours away, so that was nice. We rented a beautiful cabin on a lake in the mountains with NINETEEN of our best friends. Woah-se-daisies. NINETEEN. Yep. That's right, all under ONE roof. It was perfect though. The house was huge so we had plenty of room to spread out, and some people could only stay two nights, so we we really only 19 for one of the nights. It was my favorite way to spend New Years. We've done the whole "dress up, pay a bunch of money" type events plenty of times. They are fun, but just not really what I am interested in doing anymore. I'd rather spend quality time with those that I love. We played so many games and had so many laughs over the three days, ate and drank way too much, and laid around in our pj's. What more could you ask for? The boys played golf , the girls played games....*I actually didn't play the game they played during the day, I read. Have y'all ever played the Mexican Train game? Ugh... I do NOT like it, and most people love it. I don't have the patience for it.* Friday night was NYE and Carolina's bowl game, we won't even go there...I think we were all ready for it to be over so we could really party by the 4th quarter. Saturday, I had a little bit of cabin fever... although I love being lazy, I do have to get out and about or I go crazy. Some of us girls went to see the Little Fockers. HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. I really thought this movie looked like it was going to be really funny, WRONG. Oh well, we then had lunch at the cutest place in downtown Brevard...it was a fun day. After two crazy nights of partying, Saturday night was fairly low key...we grilled out and played games for hours. Even though, half of us came home sick from the weekend, I won't complain. We had a blast celebrating 2011 with our best friends!

Ready to ring in the new year!

Love this because of Maggie in the back=)
Our boys, don't they look so thrilled! Ha!
Happy New Year!
Loves.
Watching the game...

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...
