Splish splash come have some fun

LONG time no blog....but that's what happens when you go on vacation for 9 nights and your phone takes a swim while there!  It's taken a bit for me to get a phone and all pics/etc. transferred over...so blogging just wasn't happening. 

Anyways, LOTS to catch up!  July was a SUPER busy month for us, but super fun. 

I'm going to start recapping with the boys' FIRST birthday party!  It was such a fun little party... we had a bit of a scare with the weather, but it ended up being just fine!  We had the party at our neighborhood clubhouse and pool, we brought down a slip and slide, baby pool and the bounce house, I'd say the kids had plenty to keep them entertained.  We had a few appetizers and then grilled hot dogs for everybody. 

I can't believe it's come and gone....makes me want to cry.

And now for just a TAD bit of a picture overload....

Favors: a noodle and a water gun.
 First year pics.
 Another FABULOUS creation by my sister in law.
 I loved it:)


 Pool water.......or just blue Gatorade.
 I loved the cute, colorful high chairs.  The blue one is the one from our house in Beaufort, my grandmother bought it when my oldest cousin was born over 40 years ago!  The orange one was Collins'...it was black so I just spray painted it.  We don't use high chairs b/c there isn't enough room in our kitchen for two, so it didn't bother me to spray it orange.  I'm saving it for my grandkids one day:)

 My daddy and his twin;-)
 look at those chubby cheeks!
 I couldn't get Grahambo to look at me


 Collins was in heaven with her two older cousins.
 so thankful for friends who take my boys swimming so I could run around and make sure everyone was okay/fed/cook/etc.



 they didn't quite know what to think of the singing....
 Thomas would have eaten the WHOLE cake if we let him...





 Such a fun day celebrating my babies!

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...
