My mother's day.

As I stated yesterday, Mother's Day Sunday was a really good day. Church was good, the weather was beautiful and I spent the whole day with my family. Not much beats that.

We went out on the boat for a few hours in the early afternoon with my parents before my brother and his fam could join...we literally just drove around looking at houses and tanning for a while.  One of my favorite pastimes.  Once we picked my brother's fam up it was time to head to dinner.

First, we had a little picnic on the boat while we waited on our table.  And yes, Colls is about triple the size of her cousin Grady;-)  She does have FOUR months on him, though!  Give those rolls a break!!!  :)
I absolutely LOVE outdoor dining...and we do it as much as possible (until it's like 100 degrees anyways).  Little C isn't much for smiling at the camera these days....dang it.
THIS PICTURE! Have you ever!?!  I mean, the rolls! The cuteness!  (I know...you shouldn't say that about your own child, but it's my blog so I can say what I want, right??)  Seriously though...this picture cracks me up.  Pretty much my dreams come true of having a baby girl.  Summer time+bubbles/rompers/bloomers and THE CHUBBIEST LEGS YOU'VE EVER SEEN!  Cannot get enough.  And yes, I let my child dance barefoot at a restaurant, gasp!  But, she was having a BLAST. 
Granddaddy's gonna have to learn how to get a better grip on the babes to take a big, group pic.
Cousin Belle LOVES "mothering" little Collins.
Grady baby.
The Richardson's!
My wonderful parents!
Hubster. 
Sweet baby.

Belle grabs Collins' face so she'll look at the camera. I don't think C cares too much!
And now, thanks to Collins Mikey...I get to enjoy SEVERAL hours at my absolute favorite spa in Columbia...Occo.  Definitely check it out if you are local.  Happy Mother's Day to me!

xoxo.

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...

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...

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h...
