Our Easter weekend

We headed down to Beaufort for Easter weekend and it couldn't have been better. It seemed kinda crazy, considering we got home from the Bahamas at 11 Monday night, to pack up again and head out of town. But, here's my philosophy. First, I like to take every opportunity I can get to go to Beaufort, especially when the weather is beautiful. Second, when I'm home I feel the need to do something productive. We have lots that needs doing around the house. But, we wanted a weekend of relaxation and spending good quality time with our babies. It is so much easier for me to relax down in Beaufort than at home. So, off to Beaufort we went for a laid back Easter weekend.

Friday night was spent hanging out and playing with the kids. My parents took Collins earlier that day so she had been playing and being spoiled all day;-).

We all slept in and spent Saturday morning being lazy. Then we all packed up and headed to our favorite store in Beaufort for a few things. (Think lowes + a little target + a really beautiful home decor store). It has something for everyone! Then it was back home and nap time for everyone!

After naps we headed downtown for lunch and park play. It was the boys' first time in the swings and they LOVED it. It was gorgeous day and the kids enjoyed our outdoor time.

Then we came back home for more laziness, a few golf cart rides, bike rides and porch rockin'. Then, we dyed some eggs!! Which Colls loved!

Easter morning was super, G and T (obviously) were clueless, but Colls was super excited to see what the Easter bunny brought.

I love this pic, Bc it captures her so well. This is the face she makes when she's shy, unsure of something... On the way to check out her loot.

Chocwate!!!

Pure sweetness

Such a glorious day celebrating HIM.

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...

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...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...
