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.

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...
