Let freedom ring.

We spent the fourth of July holiday in Beaufort....big surprise, right?!?:-) For the most part, it was just my immediate family and we used this as our "family vacation" time. Little baby Grady was only about three weeks old, so he didn't get to partake in too many of the activities (and neither did his mama) but we still had a wonderful, relaxing vacation. We got lots of sun, boat time, pool time, porch time and down time; all of the necessities of a good vacay. I'm so excited to have Collins experience Beaufort, I sure hope she loves it as much as her mama does.

On the 4th, we invited our best family friends over for the day, they were in Hilton Head keeping two of their grandbabies. Lots of fun was had and LOTS of food was eaten:-)

And now on to the PHOTO overload.  I can't ever pick just a few!

Collins getting her first dip in the pool.
She liked it.

 
Belle and Emmie cheesin'
Kisses for my sweet girl
Granddaddy caught us some crabs.
LOVE that sweet girl's smiling face.  Mikey was especially thrilled that I made us dress festive, he rebelled by not shaving.  I just love his mexi-stache (as I like to call it.) NOT.
But, I sure do love him:-)

up close and personal of my favorite girl.
The Vaughn babies.  I grew up with their mama...she was away in the Dominican with her hubs while her parents babysit.  We sure did have fun with her kiddos though!
Belle certainly enjoyed the company.
This cracks me up so much!  Reminds me of myself and Laurie at that age, full of SASS.

First time at the sandbar!!
YUCK!  Matt was a good daddy and got down and dirty in the pluff mud with Belle, she loved it!

See?  Baby Grady was there too!  He just slept and ate most of the time! What do you expect from a newborn;-)

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...

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...

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...
