Ringin' in the new year in the mountains...errr, middle of nowhere.

We headed out on our way to the "mountains" on Sunday December 30 for two nights of fun and relaxation with friends. I say "mountains" simply because the house was advertised as being in the mountains and near/on Lake Lure, NC. It was "in" the mountains per se...but the house was in a valley, so mountain views were not ours for the taking. Oh well, maybe next time, right?

We went with a big group to celebrate a birthday and the NEW YEAR and to get AWAY for a bit. It was perfect. We wine(d) (yes, with babies in tow...judge away), we laughed, we ate, we gabbed and we celebrated.

Of course, the two babies had to do bath time together.  So cute...until about 1 second later and C started crying...apparently she didn't like sharing the bath.  ha!
My sweet girl playing at our house.
At winery stop number 2, Overmountain Winery in NC...it was beautiful.
Playing at the winery.
Several hours of Mexican train was played...
Our cute fellas.
Again, with her daddy.
The whole group at the second winery.  Plus one VERY large great dane.  She lived at the winery...and just wanted to be in our picture:-)
At Green Creek Winery, our first stop.  This winery didn't have as good of a location/wines but they had this chardonnay ice cream that was FABULOUS.
NYE annual pic.

Girls day lunch date in Chimney Rock.
Play time!

Play time again.
Love this picture of little C.
Don't worry, I still have plenty of Christmas to catch up...I know, the excitement overwhelms me too.

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...

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...
