{our weekend}

Mikey left us this weekend for a "fantasy football draft" boys weekend...so we had a little family date night Thursday night before he left.  We headed out on a sunset cruise around the lake to see the purple martins fly in.  Every night in the summer at sunset they fly to Bomb Island on Lake Murray to nest.  Like HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of them.  It is so pretty...Collins was obsessed with watching them.


Friday night, we relaxed and went to dinner with Lolly.  Nothing crazy, just a laid back night.  Saturday was pretty, but I spent most of the day playing with Collins and CLEANING, yuck,  But, sometimes it just has to be done.  We were getting ready for our SLUMBER party:-)  Three of my best friends came over that afternoon to hang out/play/catch up/spend the night.  We had the best time!  Harper came with her mama to entertain C...this was one of the first times where they truly PLAYED together.  It was precious.  Picture below is C leaning over to give Harp a kiss, so darn cute.


Mikey got home Sunday around lunch, so we headed out on the lake with my family for the day.  It was BEAUTIFUL outside...and this old mama got up on a SLALOM for the first time in three years.  I used to ski so much in the summer growing up...I LOVE it.  But, holy moly....I am one SORE woman today.  Skiing definitely works muscles you aren't used to working, well...especially when you don't work out.  I need to start skiing more...but our boat isn't really a ski boat, so we don't think about it.  Thank goodness my brother's new boat is PERFECT for it.  

She slept like this the whole way home........best feeling ever.

I love ending my weekend on the lake.  Of course, I would prefer the weekend NOT to end at all...but such is life.  Happy week!

xoxo

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...
