weekend rewind

Another FABULOUS and BUSY weekend! 

 

We had the boys’ 2nd birthday party on Sunday, so I’ll save that for a separate post:-)  

 

We started our weekend off with a bang Friday night by going on a little sunset cruise around the lake and then going to dinner on the lake with my parents to celebrate G and T’s actual birthday.  It was a gorgeous night and there was good music playing at the restaurant…all three kids took to the dance floor for about 15 minutes before it was time to go, they were too cute.  We brought some cupcakes and sang happy birthday, which led to a pretty funny video of them trying to blow out their candles, bless.  A sweet little family night celebrating my babies. 

 

On Saturday, we had plans for a FULL lake day.  Everyone gathered at our house around 11:30 and we were on the boats headed to Sandy beach by noon.  We had 13 adults and 7 kids between us…and spent the next 5 hours playing, swimming, and keeping track of the kids on the beach and in the water!  At 5, we headed in to drop the kids off with babsitters so the parents could enjoy a few hours, kid-free.  We all headed back out to float, relax and watch the fireworks!  We had the BEST time…and were home asleep by 11! 

 

I hosted our neighborhood 4th of July parade Monday morning and HOLY HOTNESS!! Y’all, it was sweltering.  Everyone seemed to have a good time though…it’s nice to get together and do activities like this that the kids enjoy.  After the parade, we went home and opened up presents from the birthday party and then ALL FIVE OF US took naps.  Mikey and I both needed it!!  Between the ALL day lake day Saturday and the birthday party Sunday, we were pooped!  After naps, we headed back out on the lake for a few hours.  We sure made the best of our long holiday weekend… and now it’s on to PACK PACK PACK, we’ve got a house to move out of!

 















Happy Monday!

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...
