Lake Murray days....

We were FINALLY able to enjoy a lake day on Sunday. We have been so busy lately we haven't had much time to relax. We spent the night at my parents house Saturday night so we could take advantage of a GORGEOUS day on the lake. Sweet girl had LOTS of firsts on Sunday and we had a blast! The whole family was there and we truly had such a good day just hanging out on the dock and boat. I finally got some sun, YAY...maybe a little too much, oops! Lake Murray days are some of my favorite in the world...ending it off with a family dinner on my parents porch watching little Belle perform to Taylor Swift:) Such a glorious Sunday!

Collins' first time in a bathing suit:)  It was just a tad big in the top, but she still looked adorable!  I just took her bouncy seat to the dock and put it in her little sun dome tent and she was set to go!
How freakin' adorable, right!?!  Matt and Christie brought a blow up pool for Belle because she still is a little unsure about swimming a lot in the lake.  Collins took her first "dip" in the pool.  Cousin Belle was SO sweet to her and loved on her all day long.
Just chillin' in the shade.  LOVE.
So we took the plunge and took Collins on her VERY first boat ride!!!  How funny does she look in this little life jacket?  CRACKS me up.  She was straight CHILLIN'.  For real.  She never even cried. 
Daddy and his girl.
Okay, now this is where it gets really funny. We didn't want her little head to get any sun so Mikey wrapped his shirt around her do-rag style.  We couldn't help but to just laugh at how funny/gangsta she looked. 
First family boat ride!!  Teehheheheee...our little monkey, she was so cute:)
So thankful we were able to spend such a beautiful day with the family on the lake.  Wish it happened every weekend!

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...

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...

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...
