catching up!


Goodness!!! We have been B-U-S-Y!  It was quite a whirlwind…but we recently found out that a house we had our “eye” on was going to be OURS!!!  It has been rented in the past and was currently empty, so we got to move in ASAP and “rent” until we close before the end of the year.  I am SO stinkin’ excited. 

 

The deets:  it’s an old brick ranch ON the lake (dream come true!!!)… it’s about 1950 sq feet right now and needs updating!!!  It’s going to be a work in progress, but I am SO pumped and thankful to start this journey!!!  I’ll post a big update with pics soon so I can document our renovation process, but for now we’ve been busy just moving in.  HOLY MOLY, how do we have SO much “stuff”????  I am NOT a pack rat and am much more a “toss it” type girl ... and yet, we still have SO much.  I did sell a bunch of furniture before we moved (our entire bonus room …. A queen bed, dresser, chest of drawers, nightstand, a couch, a love seat, our kitchen table, 9 barstools AND our dining room table… but yet, still…so much.)  We are downsizing quite a bit, so that’s obviously hard, and we don’t have a garage, we have three storage sheds…we will have to address those one day, but today is NOT that day.  Once we complete renovations/additions we will be at about 2250 sq feet…so not tiny, but certainly not big.  No worries though…I was fully prepared to make some sacrifices to be ON THE LAKE. 

 

So, life has been crazy as we’ve been moving/unpacking/trying to still go about our day to day lives….  So here’s a little photo dump for your Tuesday.  I don’t even wanna talk about what today really is... I’m pretty disgusted with both candidates, and truly just so sad that this is the state of affairs in our beautiful country right now.  Ugh.  So, how I deal is I just block it out… 

 

Happy Tuesday!!


My dad has been buying the boys camo stuff ... and Collins got jealous and wants her own! Ha!

Say cheese! 😂

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...
