The Friday five


Happy Friday, friends!!


A quick Friday five for ya....


1.       SICKNESS has overtaken us.  UGH.  Mikey came down with some sort of AWFUL virus Sunday night…it wasn’t the flu, but the symptoms were very similar…doctor said they’ve seen a ton of it this year…it seriously had him in bed for four days!  ALL of our babies have coughs, I hate it.  Especially the boys because there is NOTHING you can give themL  We’ve been doing nebulizer treatments and cranking up the humidifier with vapor rub in it…so pitiful.  And now…I seem to be coming down with another head cold…ick!  And we leave for the mountains today…not good timing.

2.       But, speaking of the mountains…we are excited about our weekend.   We all went in and rented a mountain cabin for Mikey’s mom as her Christmas present…all her children and grandchildren will be together for one weekend. We are looking forward to a relaxing weekend away.  

3.       Our Christmas present was delivered this week and I am in LOVE.  I had to ditch the bed skirt…but that’s okay.  I also have to get a new mirror as the previous one was too big…but I am so in love with our new bed…I feel like it’s a “grown up” bed:-)



4.       Collins has made her mind up that she wants a “jewelry” party for her 4th birthday.  I really wanted to do it AWAY from the house this year…but this is all she talks about, wanting to make necklaces and bracelets with her friends.  I just ordered a cute Melissa and Doug wooden jewelry making set to use…and will probably go to Michael’s and stock up on some more stuff.  I found these invitations and thought I could roll with it….



5.       We’ve got a BUSY 2016 so far….after a couple years with NO weddings, we have three in April and May…one being Mikey’s brothers that we are in and the other being my life long best friend that Collins and I are in!  I’m SO excited..she’s going to be a flower girl in BOTH, pray that shyness goes away for good by then!

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...
