{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

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 night for a date night, headed to our fav, Sal

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

These are the days.

Goodness gracious, I LOVE summer.  I talk it to death every year, but it is especially important to me during this season of life where the school year brings homework/schedules/strict bed times/extra curricular craziness- I appreciate the LAZY days of summer EVEN MORE. I've tried to be intentional about taking a half day here and there to soak up TIME with my babies.  Because Lord knows, they aren't babies for long.  (Yes, I'm referring to my 7 and 5 year olds as babies- #cantstopwontstop ) When we returned from our anniversary trip, we got back early on a Tuesday and used the rest of the day to spend quality family time together.  We took the kids to a local water park, this was all of our first time visiting- and we had a ball!   That same week, my girl and I dressed up and attended her very first company banquet for dance, too much fun!  Lake days with friends are sooooo good for me- we've so enjoyed many of them this summer
