Our weekend.... Sigh

I can't believe it's come and gone....summer, that is.  I know I talked about this Friday...but although summer still SURELY exists in the south for a WHILE longer...Labor Day just "ends it." Everyone knows that.  And it makes me sad.  Our neighborhood pool is actually open until the end of September, which makes total sense since September is hotter than May most times around here....but the further we get from Labor Day weekend and the more we get into football, the further bathing suits and boat rides venture into my mind.  Boo to that.  Anyways, this weekend was the perfect "end of summer" for us.  

Per usual, we headed down to the coast to celebrate the end of my favorite time of year.  It was just my immediate family down there this weekend, which meant: no frills.  We didn't have to entertain anyone, we stayed in our bathing suit cover ups or pj's at night, we were lazy and went to bed early (except to watch the end of that awful Clemson/Georgia game...).  As much as my family and me LOVE to entertain and typically prefer a crowd, it is nice sometimes to just CHILL and not have a set schedule, or feel like you have to be on the go the whole weekend.  We ordered pizza Friday night and everyone was in bed by 10:30.  We started the day Saturday LAZY as can be and it was great.  We eventually made it out on the boat after lunch and enjoyed a laid back afternoon hanging out on Harbor Island.  It was bliss.  We came home to "tailgate" for the BIG game (please remember and forgive....half my family bleeds ORANGE.  YIKES!)  We literally ate a few appetizers and didn't do a big fuss over dinner.  It was GAME TIME.  As much as I DESPISE Clemson....it is kinda cute to see my daddy, bro, and little nephew decked out in orange, they all look so much alike:)  


We did plan a LONG boat day on Sunday since we were only out a few hours Saturday.  Some of my parents good friends were staying at Edisto, so we drove over and picked them up on the boat and then headed to Botany Island, off of Edisto.  In all, it took about 2 hours to get there from our house.  Thankfully all the kids LOVE a boat ride.  
This is how boat people do the beach.  We pack up our chairs and coolers and sand toys and pick a different sandbar or island every time we venture out.  Saturday it was Harbor Island near Beaufort...and this time Botany on Edisto.  So, so fun.  There were a good many people out there...and it was BEAUTIFUL.  We had such a good time playing, swimming, and drinking ;-) all day long on the boat and beach!
My super fun parents and their friends!
Our ride home.......seriously my favorite view on earth.  
The day was absolute perfection in my book....an amazing way to wrap up a FANTASTIC summer!!

Monday morning we headed out to Hunting Island to take family pictures:) It was HOT, and hectic with three little ones........but hopefully we got a few keepers!  Can't wait to see them!

Hope your weekend was wonderful!!!

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...
