beach trip recap 1


Why do vacations have to FLY by?  I swear, the first couple of days seemed to go at a normal pace, but the closer we got to the end of the week the faster it went!  We had a WONDERFUL, relaxing, restful and fun week vacation at the beach.  Of course, we were hit by normal life occurrences throughout (I had a stupid sinus infection/cold and lost my voice, Collins got some kind of 12 hour bug, and Graham got an ear infection and we had to spend one morning at the minute clinic)…but nonetheless it was a perfect week.  We slept late, went to bed early and napped every day😉  We got lots of rest!  I was able to have 2-3 hours per day on the beach ALL BY MYSELF while the kids napped, how freaking amazing is that!?!  Thank you, Mikey!  At these ages, my kids are not huge “stay on the beach all day” kids.  It kinda drives me nuts because I LOVE the beach….but hopefully it’ll change as they get older.  Of course, two, two year olds on the beach is definitely work and they aren’t at the stage where they can go swim…so I get it.  And the jellyfish were AWFUL (my niece got stung 4 times) so Collins was a little leery of getting in too far out.  But, we built a million sandcastles and brought a baby pool to the beach where they could dump sand into and water out of (HA!) and keep them entertained. 

 

For the weekend, it was everyone in my family except my SIL, who couldn’t make it because of work.  It’s always so fun and chaotic when everyone is together!  We went to dinner one night, and then to the arcade and out for ice cream the other…we were a hot, sweaty mess.  But, we had fun and that’s all that counts!

 

I’ll let the pics do the talking…these are from the first weekend we were there.

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...
