My Best Friend's Wedding: Part Two

Showers! Parties! Fun!

Isn't that one of the perks of getting married?!? You get a few showers and/or parties thrown in YOUR honor...everyone is there to see YOU and you get some pretty cool gifts. Win win situation, right? I hosted a kitchen shower for the bride along with her sisters and two other friends from high school...everything turned out perfect except for the fact that I was so busy "hosting" and making sure everything went right that we didn't get ANY pictures with people in them:( This makes me majorly sad, but more so for Sarah, the bride. I HATE she won't have any pictures of all the people there to celebrate her that day. My mom graciously allowed us to have the shower at her house and everything turned out beautiful. We did a Sunday afternoon "cake and tea to celebrate the bride to be" shower. She had a good turn out and got some great kitchen accessories. Get to cookin' Mrs. Allen!

The food set up.

The drinks. We did a strawberry champagne punch that I heard was amazing...too bad I couldn't enjoy it myself!
I helped some of the groomsman host a fun party for the bride and groom as well. They wanted one party that wasn't a shower, where everyone could come just relax and have a good time with a casual vibe. We did "beer and barbeque to celebrate Matt and Sarah's I do." Very cute! I went to high school with the groom and bride, we used this party to invite most of our hometown friends...it was so good seeing everyone.

Food, sunflowers for the bride because they are her favorite!
The beautiful bride and me:)
Wonderful hubs, he always makes the yard look so good for the many showers/parties that I like to host!
Some of the girls!
Good times with good friends, what else do you need?

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...

2019 family Village Creek trip

Our 2019 summer family vacation was everything I could have asked for, and more!  This year, my parents and nephew joined us for the week so we had extra fun!  (and extra chaos of course, too!)  We did ALL the things, but yet also did ALL the relaxing.  We arrived on G and T's actual, bday so we started our trip with a special birthday lunch in downtown Beaufort with just the boys since Collins rode down with my mom.  We also finally experienced the drive in movie that night for Toy Story 4 and it was AWESOME!  We only had one day of cloudy weather so that was awesome!  We ventured to Bohicket Marina, Harbor Town, Harbor Island, Edisto Island, Botany Bay, our favorite sandbar AND downtown Beaufort by boat, we had a ball!   My dad got some AMAZING fireworks and we had a little show for the culdesac, so much fun!!  Mikey and I even got to sneak out one n...
