Beachin'

So...I blogged a while back about us escaping to the beach for the weekend. That was in fact the weekend of June 22-24; the weekend before we were moving...and we needed a break! So, we packed up and took off for Beaufort with some friends and my parents and their friends for a fun weekend. It seems all I really have time for these days is a photo dump...but at least I am documenting our events in some way. I had to upload over 400 pictures before I could do this anyways...whew!  That takes time!

Granddaddy and Collins...her very first dip in the ocean.  (4 months, 1 week)
Most beautiful sunset ever.
Where she "chilled" most of the day.
Happy baby!
Well, this picture didn't really turn out as planned, probably would have helped if Collins was actually LOOKING at the camera!  Come on, girl...get it together:-)
Loves.
Wheeee!
The boys playing bocce.
Beach naps have to be the best ever.
Family portrait.  It's so hard to get her to look at the camera and smile!!
This particular weekend was rare, as the whole group actually decided to go to the beach for the day and not do the boat thing.  We went to Fripp and it was fantastic.  Most of the time we go to the beach at Hunting Island State Park, it's absolutely BEAUTIFUL and pretty empty in places...BUT, you can NOT drink at Hunting Island and that would just NOT work for this crowd!  All in all it was a fabulous low key weekend and we came home Sunday rejuvenated for what would become the most unorganized/longest move in the world.  OOPS.

xoxo.

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...

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...
