Glenn family vacay: part 1

We had the BEST ever family vacation this year. I went into with low expectations of what our days would look like considering the boys were barely two months old. But, the boys and everything else about our trip was absolutely perfect!! It was just our little family down there Sunday-Friday... And then the rest of my family joined for the long labor day weekend. We spent at least four hours on the beach every day except Wednesday. We decided to make the trip to hilton head Wednesday afternoon/evening so skipped the beach trip that day and Mikey played golf and then I went and got a pedicure!

I was amazed at the weather on the beach. I knew we wouldn't be able to enjoy with the boys if it were too hot... But not even close! The breeze was amazing... Almost too windy at times! The boys stayed comfy and cool in their tent on the beach and Mikey and I took turns keeping Collins entertained:-) it was heaven! The weather was beautiful and we had the best time.

We went out to dinner twice and cooked at home the other evenings. There were lots of lazy naps, afternoons spent at the pool, evenings spent rocking on the porch, and lots of good quality family time. This vacation far surpassed anything I could have envisioned. (And of course we still had crying babies sometimes and a toddler who didn't want to go down for naps.... But that's all just normal these days !! ;-). )

These pics are from the week when it was just us:-)

Traditional dinner at Dockside... One of our faves.

Everything we needed for our beach days! Ha!

Trip to Sea Pines in hilton head for fun and dinner!

Pool time.

How the boys looked on the beach every day!

Sweetness.

I'm ready to go back.... If only it weren't about to be fall.... Boo.

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...
