Capturing Christmas Part 2: a tree and lights.

We don't have any grand tradition of going somewhere to cut down a tree or making a day out of it or anything like that...but we did snap some pics of us getting our tree this year. We always buy from a local tree farmer...and this year we bought from the guy who my family has used for forever. I loved our tree this year, it was the perfect size.

Colls Bolls and her daddy.
I was trying to show off  her cute outfit:-)  It was cheerleading themed...so precious.
Our tree!
We went to the Zoo one Friday night for the Lights Before Christmas event.  Mikey and I have gone to this event a few times before, but this year was obviously much better!  We didn't use our stroller so C could really get a good look at all the lights...we just took turns carrying her.  It's a good thing she's a peanut.  She was amazed for the most part...she really enjoys people watching too...especially little kids and there were TONS there.  She also got her SECOND experience with Santa...we will just say {Santa-2, Collins-0}.  This time she was terrified...the first time was just a little sad/pout...but this time she was NOT happy with us.  Bad parents, we are!! :-)  It's just so cute to see them crying trying to get away from that BIG, OLD scary looking dude.



GET me outta here!!!!!!!!

She was MUCH happier after Santa when she could ride on the {fake} elephant.

Happy baby!

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...
