{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!

    That picture of Collins on the floor with the wine glass cracks me up!

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...
