Family vacay 2013: part 1

Family Vacation 2013: Recap part 1

Similar to last year, we had a LONG, beautiful NINE day vacation in Beaufort this year that was the perfect mix of family and FUN.  We started off our vacation with just Mikey and I heading down early to participate in some super fun wedding festivities.  Colls stayed back at home with Lolly and Granddaddy while Mikey and I enjoyed two nights of adult time.  We rented a house with 6 others in Port Royal (where the wedding was) (which is also about 15 minutes away from our house in Beaufort, but my Uncle had given the house to friends that weekend so we found other accommodations.)  The house in Port Royal was PERFECT for our group, only two blocks away from the reception.  We started off Friday night at the rehearsal dinner, which was perfectly laid back and relaxed with breathtaking views of the intracoastal water.  We all (myself included) had a little TOO much fun Friday night and that 2:00 Catholic wedding ceremony on Saturday came a weee bit early;-)






Everything about Saturday was wonderful.  The band was AMAZING…as was the dancing.  It was so fun being able to go back out in downtown Beaufort on Friday and Saturday night…we don’t get downtown very often at night, so it’s always good times when we do.  (and reminded me a lot of going out after our wedding!)  



Mikey and I were up early Sunday morning to go meet my awesome mama so we could go get our little peanut for the start of our FAMILY VACATION week.  My mom met us halfway between Beaufort and Columbia, how awesome is she??  Colls was SO excited to see us!  My best friend Maggie stayed with us Sunday night and we enjoyed a few hours on the beach before we got pizzas and had a chilled out  night at home.  It was perfect. 
Beach babe on Sunday:


Stay tuned for Part 2… I know, I know…you can’t stand the wait;-)

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...
