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:)

 The food.
 "Splish splash come have some fun, Graham and Thomas are turning ONE"


 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!

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...

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...

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...
