New vacation adventures. Memorial Day 2012.

Our memorial day weekend was absolutely wonderful.  Our good friends invited us to their house in McClellanville, SC for the long holiday weekend.  We had a small little group, which was perfect considering this was our first venture into "vacationing" with a baby!  *yes, we have been to Beaufort with my family...but when you have the grandparents around for added support it's not quite the same*  We packed up everything and headed for the coast Friday after work.  We cooked at night, played cards...and I finally caved and learned how to play Mexican Train.  My friends are OBSESSED with this game and I typically don't have enough patience/attention to sit thru long games, but I gave it my best shot and ended up liking it okay.  One time on vacay in the mountains, a group of  them played ALL DAY long, seriously...like non stop. It was nuts.  Anyways...back to the real point of this post.  We enjoyed a long boat ride Saturday (Collins' second one!), and an afternoon of laziness.  The boys golfed Sunday morning and us girls set up camp on the balcony to get some SUN. (and boy did we, i think we all got burned, oops!) The babies were troopers in their bouncy seats under the sun shades!  Vacation sure is a little different than it used to be, but this is our new normal and I love it.  Thankfully, Collins is still, * fingers crossed it stays that way* a phenomenal sleeper so it helps knowing that.  She's pretty easy and adjusts to changes well (so far) and that definitely made a stress free vacation for us.  Of course there were some times where I had to keep her paci in, or rock her for a bit because she was fussy, but all in all...sweet girl did amazing! 

We sure love having such wonderful friends with amazing houses that invite us on vacations!  We had a blast and hope to do it again soon.

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

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...

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h...
