Massive Catch up: Part 3 JUNE

Laid back summer weekends.

Although we are generally  GO,GO,GO we did have several weekends in a row this summer where we just CHILLED and enjoyed the long days with friends and family. 

Mikey’s sister and her family came up the weekend of June 1, as this was the weekend AFTER Memorial Day weekend, which was a busy one…we sure enjoyed a low key weekend with family.  We spent the day at Mikey’s dad’s house on the lake and PLAYED.  It was very nice and much needed. 

All of Granddadder and Khaki's (Mikey's dad and step mom) grandkids.... of course my child isn't looking....


The weekend of June 8th….our friends hosted their 4thannual BBQ on the lake party.  We got a sitter for little Colls this year and enjoyed several hours of adult time drinking, floating in the water and eating too much incredible food. 

Me and the hostess:)



The weekend of June 15th…Mikey hit the road to SAVANNAH for a bachelor party …and Colls and I took FULL advantage of NOT having ANYTHING on the agenda.  I rarely do that…and it was perfect.  I think we went to Wal Mart and Chick fil A after work Friday and that was the highlight of my Friday night…haha!!  We spent all of Saturday playing in the pool and laying out with one of my bestest friends…who was NEWLY preggo and it was so fun getting excited about it!  Again, I spent another lazy night on the couch once Colls went to bed.   Even a gal like me who loves to be busy needs a break every once in a while. 

Colls enjoying the beautiful pool!


All three of these weekends were punctuated with naps, snuggles, play time, and sunshine.   They were the perfect weekends to just sit back and appreciate all the GREAT blessings that life has offered us.  The quintessential “dog days of summer.” 

WHY do they have to go so quickly??

CHEERS, y'all...

xoxo

    Aaah, love this. I don't want Summer to be OOOOOOOVER! I'm like you, I love lake days and pool days (and BEACH days) entirely too much. This cool weather today has got eerrrrrrbody in an uproar about Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Buh! Stop. Just stop.

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...

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...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...
