weekend rewind


Another gorgeous spring weekend in the books…. it was a good one, how could it not be though when it’s mother’s day weekend?  We had the sweetest little Mother’s Day celebration Wednesday at Collins’ preschool, she was SO excited for me to come and see the hat and necklace she made for me!  Just the cutest!  On Friday night, we hung out with friends and cooked out at our house.   Some of our best friends are moving towards us and went house hunting, so we had a little get together afterwards ;-)  The first part of Saturday was spent running errands/playing and doing chores around the house (you gotta have a little time for that every weekend, right?!)  After naps for the kids (and me!) we headed to the zoo.  Our zoo just opened the BEST new water park area…complete with a splash pad, wading pool, playground, huge sand “box”, and tons more!  It was SO fun and we had to take the kids out kicking and screaming!  (seriously, Thomas pitched a FIT when it was time to go!)  We ended the day with family dinner on the lake and EARLY bed time for Mikey and me.  That sure was nice to do on a weekend night. 

 

I got to sleep in until 9 Sunday morning (heaven) and then my amazing hubs had breakfast ready with my gifts and cards at the table.  It was so darn cute.  He had done a little handmade card with the kids’ handprints, which no doubt, was my favorite gift of all.  We spent Sunday on the LAKE, exactly what I wanted.  It was a beautiful day…although we’ve decided we must hire a babysitter to go out on the lake with us this summer…lordy mercy!  We had my parents with us Sunday and keeping G and T INSIDE the boat safe was a CHORE!  I don’t know how I’ll do it by myself when Mikey is driving the boat!  WHEW! We ended the day at my parents’ house for dinner with my brother and his family.  It was such a good day, I was with my babies doing what I love and with my mama who taught me everything I know!

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...

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...
