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.

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...
