Christmas Catch up Part One.

I know, I know...don't die from the excitement. I wanted to document all of these events though, and am just now gathering the pictures from the people who took them.

We celebrated with the Richardson (my dad's fam) side of the family on Sunday December 18 at my cousin Lee's house. Unfortunately, my Uncle and his family couldn't come this year, so it wasn't quite the normal CHAOS (that made us miss two kids!) ...but it was still quite fun nonetheless. I just love watching all of these kiddos grow up together....we see this side of the family MUCH more in the summer because we go down to Beaufort so much together. The adults don't do gifts anymore....all of the children just draw names...even baby Collins got to participate this year. The kids just had the best time playing together....it was a gorgeous day so they rode bikes and played outside a lot. It reminded me when we were little and my brother and I would play at my grandparents house with my cousins...there were only 4 of us though! Can you imagine when Collins and Grady (my brother and SIL's boy due in June) get here?? There will be TEN kids TEN and under! Good gracious:) I love it. My grandparents would be so happy watching all of them play together.

The kids being silly.

My mom and my Aunt still get the kids a little something too...this year the youngest all got their own beach chairs for when we go to the sand bar in Beaufort and the oldest got beach towels. They loved it.
My fam:) We will have TWO more in just 20 short weeks!!!!

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...
