{our weekend}

{our weekend}

 

I felt like this past weekend was a pretty laid back one, even though we had two birthday parties to attend and spent some good time out on the lake Saturday.  I always feel this way though when we have at least one weekend night of not doing ANYTHING and we are IN town.  We seriously had something going on 7 out of 8 nights last week…so by the time FRIDAY night rolled around (unfortunately, Mikey and I both worked the Friday after the 4th…boo to that!) we were POOPED.  Seriously, we ate at Moe’s,  played with Collins and I was asleep by 10.  WOAH.  That was nice.  So, on Saturday morning I was up and ready to go by 7:30…so what did we do?  We made a family trip to Lowe’s that lasted THREE hours. YIKES.  But, we had LOTS to buy and some pretty detailed purchases to make.  {We finally bit the bullet and ordered the material to install a fence and deck in the back yard.  Cannot wait to make that happen!}  Collins was an ANGEL for about 2.5 hours of the Lowe’s trip…we took turns running around the store and playing with her so she wasn’t bored.  Those last 30 minutes though…she was DONE.  Mikey just took her outside and played (for a change of scenery) while I checked out.  But, seriously…THREE hours in Lowe’s.  WOW. 


I took zero pics on the lake and no pics of any adults at the party Saturday night but here's a pic of c and her bestie, Mary brooks. Can you tell the mamas are best friends, too?!  Almost identical outfits!! 

 

After C took a nap….we headed out on the lake with friends.  This weather is seriously crazy though, y’all.  Beautiful one minute and pouring the next.  We got rained on for about 10 minutes, but it was still a fun few hours spent on the water.

 

On Saturday night we celebrated another 30th birthday! Seriously y’all, this is what happens when you and your husband are the same age…we celebrate 30th birthdays every other weekend it seems.  Lucky for us…this was our friend that just moved to suburbia…so we were close to home.  We had lots of fun…the kids came too and had a blast playing together, although it was a little (LOT) more relaxing once we put C down for the night in her pack and play:-)


Splash pad fun!



 

Sunday was spent at church, running errands, relaxing on the couch, dance partying on the porch and enjoying our wonderful local park and splash pad at a birthday party.  Collins LOVED the splash pad.  It was our first time there…I’ve been meaning to take her…but being on the lake and having a pool in the ‘hood, it seems we never make it that way.  She never really (intentionally) got RIGHT UP UNDER the water, but would just run around giggling, pointing with her finger and saying “WOAH, WOAH” every time the water would “splash” out.  (Woah is her new FAVORITE word, by the way.)  But, she definitely got wet and really enjoyed herself.  We will definitely have to make that another trip this summer.

 

All in all, it was a good weekend.  Nothing crazy, just good.

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...
