{our weekend}

Well, we never made it to the pumpkin patch…but who can really blame us when it was NINETY degrees outside??  We should have gone out on the lake, geez!!  Have I mentioned that once I get ready for fall well, it better at least feel like fall…urrrghhh.  Not even close this weekend.  Friday night we took dinner to our friends who welcomed their beautiful baby girl into the world two weeks ago…it’s so  crazy how quickly  you forget how TINY babies are.  We enjoyed some good convo and Collins loved “loving” on baby Kemper. 

We started Friday evening with a little family golf cart ride.... It's so relaxing and a nice way to unwind. 

On Saturday Colls and I headed to the zoo with my friend and her two little girls…and HOLY goodness, it was PACKED and a million degrees.  But, the girls had fun and that’s all that matters.  Collins attempted to feed the giraffe for the first time but then got terrified.  Pretty funny.  We lasted almost two hours until it was time to head home for lunch and naps. 







We had a small, low key get together for the football game Saturday night.  Since I am going to be out of town this coming weekend…I didn’t want to leave Collins to go to the game this time.  Mikey’s best friend who lives in Charleston came up to stay and two other couples joined us (even baby Kemper made an appearance, and was so precious in her Gamecock gear!)  My child was being a HAM and thouroughly enjoying all the attention she was getting….

I mean, seriously though…those legs.  OH MY.  I forgot to put her bloomers on…oh well:-)






We all slept in Sunday and cooked a big breakfast before church.  And, FINALLY….we got a GREAT report from the church nursery.  Not that she normally gets a bad report…but generally one of the ladies holds her almost the whole time…but yesterday she PLAYED and had a ball.  YAY!!  You would think the child doesn’t go to daycare every day?  But, I know it’s just because we don’t go to church regularly enough (our fault) for her to remember/feel comfortable.  Hopefully we will get better about that this fall and winter since we don’t go out of town nearly as much during these months…and of course as I type this we will be gone the next two weekends.  Goodness!!  After church, we came home to eat lunch and play before it was time for C’s nap and me to head to a wedding shower.  We ended the night by taking a golf cart ride to my parents’ house and then watching LOTS of good shows.  It was a nice, low key weekend with the fam….which is JUST what I needed in preparation for a CRAZY weekend ahead in MIAMI!!!



Have a great week, friends!

xoxo

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...

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...

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h...
