Family Vacay 2013: Recap part THREE

As I mentioned…we had a BIG, FUN weekend.  My parents invited two couples, and my brother and I each invited a couple…so we had 14 adults and 5 kids in the house…it was pure chaos but I LOVED it.  Obviously, one can only handle that much chaos a short amount of time…but we sure had a BLAST.  Everyone arrived by Friday late afternoon and we spent the evening boozing and hanging out.  The kids all got along so well, Belle really took to our friend’s one year old…someone new to follow her around besides Collins:)










Saturday we headed out on the boat as early as we possibly could.  We spent the day on Otter Island, just like being on the beach, but a private one as there is hardly ever anyone else out there.  It was SO. MUCH. FUN.  And the weather was AMAZING.  I mean, the PERFECT beach day.  Makes me sad writing about this in September knowing it won’t happen again for a LONG time…boo hiss. 














Saturday night was much of the same as Friday….except most of us were in bed by 10!  That’s what happens after a LONG day on the boat and beach. 

Mikey and I were up at the CRACK of dawn to go home and get ready to HOST a couples baby shower that Sunday afternoon, I know….we are nuts.  But, it was great!  I was SO, SO sad to see our amazing 9 day vacation come to an end.  I’m hoping we can plan them like this every year.  I am so thankful that we have such a beautiful place to vacation at, and so, so thankful for the wonderful memories we created during this 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...
