{our weekend.}

Whew!! Another fabulous weekend that went by WAY TOO fast. Boo to that!

 This is technically not the weekend, but 7 of us ventured up to Rock Hill to see our best friend and take her to dinner to celebrate her BIG 30 BIRTHDAY on Thursday night. We had 8 total, 4 pregnant. Do HUH!? It's nuts. I LOVE it. It was so fun to do something like that during the week, love these girls so much. We will definitely have to celebrate the birthday girl again when she isn't 36 weeks pregnant!!
This weekend is one I look forward to all summer...even though the past two years I haven't really been able to take advantage of all of the festivities that are offered, it's still a SUPER FUN day out on the boat.  And if you know me at all, you know I LOVE an all day boat day.  It's my jam.  This was the second weekend of the 58th Annual Beaufort Water Festival. I can remember going to this when I was little way before we ever thought about owning a house in Beaufort.  It's TWO full weeks of cool, fun, family friendly stuff to do.  On the weekends, a million boats head out to a central location and tie up....the sandbar is the place to be.  Of course, it's a tad different now a days then it was when I was in college and such....but still fun to be a part of all the action.  They have a fun dance/band on the last Saturday night that we usually try and go to, but with a 17 month old it just didn't happen this year.  But, we still had a wonderful weekend with family.  Hate for it to end.

Colls is just ENAMORED with her cousin, Belle.  Dying laughing over Belle dancing.
The babies took baths together every night, how great is this going to be for their senior slideshow??  ;-)

beach hair.  beach makeup.  such is life:)
HOW funny is this?!  My mom told me I wasn't allowed to post this.....oh well:)  I think it's hysterical.  Collins literally grabbed an empty wine glass and laid down right on the porch Saturday night.  It wasn't even that close to her bedtime...she was just being silly.  Ha!!
We ended up coming home earlier than normal on Sunday.  But, seeing as how we are going out of town for 9 days starting Friday, I had TONS to do around the house and just needed some chill time before the week started.  We enjoyed a late afternoon swim at our pool before dinner and bed.  I was sad to see this weekend come to an end...BUT, we will be in Beaufort the next TWO weekends as well...three CHEERS to that!

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...
