weekend rewind (and another wedding)

Another weekend, another wedding! Seriously though, we just attended our third wedding weekend (both rehearsal and wedding) of 2016…and we have one more in two weeks! We aren’t used to that pace anymore… during the years 2009-2012, we probably went to 12-16 weddings a year, no joke! It was cray and SO fun! But, since then our wedding circuit has slowed majorly… obviously as baby showers and kids birthday parties now take up our weekendsJ But, for some reason 2016 is the year of weddings again, and we have 6 so far this year! Luckily for us, this one was in Beaufort so we made a family weekend out of it and stayed at our house down there. Thankfully, my parents kept the kids both nights for us. Such wonderful grandparents we have! The rehearsal dinner and wedding were beautiful and FUN, FUN, FUN! Saturday (day) was spent getting the pool ready at our house and playing with the kids…the cousins had the best time together and absolutely LOVE being down at “village creek.” (what we call our house down there). We finally took our first boat ride of the year on Sunday and it was perfect. We stayed later than normal Sunday and didn’t get home until 10 last night…so I’m pretty pooped today but luckily the kids slept almost the whole way home! It was such a fun weekend, one of those that you wish didn’t have to end.

All the girls with the bride at the rehearsal dinner!

Sweet boys loved playing together.

Sweet cousins

Wedding fun!

Sunday fun:-)

And then this happened on the way home last night, be still my heart.

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...
