Movin' on up.

Colls finally got upgraded to a big girl car seat.  We were given a Britax Marathon from my cousin that we had been using in Mikey's truck for the past couple of months.  So...she has been in a convertible car seat for a few months, but she's not in Mikey's truck as much as my car so this was a big step!!  We knew we needed to buy another one soon, but really weren't in too big a rush as she was perfectly content in her infant car seat still...facing rear.  She's a great car rider, so we really didn't worry about it too much.

Well...we were in Buy Buy Baby the other night getting a few things and just stopped to browse the car seat section and WHAT DO YOU KNOW!?!  They had JUST gotten in 6 Britax Advocates, that had dents in the boxes (absolutely nothing wrong with the seats themselves) and were going to be sold AS IS for 50% off.  DO HUH!!??  AND THEN, we got to use a 20% coupon on top of that.  The Advocate retails at BBB for $389 ($289 on Amazon) and we got it for $160 including tax!  WOOHOO to that!  We even decided to buy TWO so that we could give the marathon to my mom (she needed another one).  Admittedly, it's not my favorite print...but I think I can let go of that for the amazing  deal we got.  They are girly prints, that was all they had...but we just figured if we had a boy down the road, we could just buy a cover, they sell in several colors.

I can't believe my baby is growing up so fast.  Makes me sad:-(  I'm sure she likes facing front now, though!!

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...
