weekend rewind

Gosh, we had such a good, long holiday weekend.  We spent most of the weekend celebrating our girl, who turned FIVE on Friday.  FIVE.  I can’t believe it.   We’ve had a lot going on lately… Valentine’s Day celebrations, birthday celebrations, and a fancy night out for Mikey and me.  Busy, busy! 

 

We spent Friday celebrating the birthday girl all day long…. Birthday pancakes and presents in the morning, a celebration at preschool and then after work we took the kids to Frankie’s Fun Park for the first time…they have a HUGE fun house that the kids played in for a long time and then the birthday girl got to ride go carts with her daddy!  Then, we capped off the night by taking them to Yamato’s for the first time…C and T were mesmerized by the fire/cooking experience…G was a little scared of it, ha.  But, it was something fun and different for the birthday girl and I think she enjoyed it. 

 

We spent Saturday being mostly lazy…especially me.  Days like that are needed every once in a while….  I woke up with head cold crap and basically either slept or hung out with the kids all day… it was pretty great.  Good thing, though…because Mikey and I had to go the American Heart Association Heart Ball Saturday night so I needed all the energy I could get.  We enjoyed a fun little night out with some of his co-workers.

 

I feel like with all the house renovations and being gone a lot last weekend for a wedding, our weekends have been taken over. So, on Sunday we carved out a whole day for a family day.  We finally made it back to church, went out to lunch and then spent the afternoon at the zoo.  The weather was beautiful and we all had a fun, relaxing day walking around checking out the animals…. Of course if you ask the kids what their favorite part of the zoo was, they all say the playground, ;-)

 

My mom and I had been planning to take Collins to the American Girl Doll store in Charlotte for her 5th birthday for a while, we had a very hard time finding a weekend day that we could make it work between our two schedules, so I took yesterday off and the three of us spent the day in Charlotte together.  This was my first time at an AG store and oh my heavens, so cute!  I cannot believe all of the stuff they have… we had lunch there and C got her dolls ears pierced and hair done.  My little girl was in heaven.  It was such a special day with my two favorite ladies…mom and I even got in some shopping afterwards at a few stores we don’t have here in Columbia 😊

 

Here’s to a new week!

 

xoxo

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...
