Mother's Day weekend in the low country

We wrapped up a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend in the low country fairly late Sunday night, but you won’t find me complaining.  We had not been to our house in Beaufort, which we affectionately call village creek (or if you hear G and T say… village cweek:-). )since NOVEMBER.  That’s probably the longest I’ve ever gone between visits and I was dying to get back down there.  House renovations kept us away as we wanted to get mostly finished with house stuff before summer, so we finally were able to head to the coast this past weekend. 

 

My whole immediate family went and we had the best time.  Equal parts fun/busy and rest/relaxation. Admittedly, the YUCKY weather almost ALL day Saturday forced a lot of the rest/relaxation…but sometimes, days like that are good for me.  If I would have been home I would have felt like I needed to accomplish something, but being away gives you the ability to truly relax.  It was great…the kids got a little stir crazy before it finally cleared up around 5 and we took them fishing on the dock and out for a short boat ride. We celebrated Mother’s Day and my SIL’s birthday Saturday night which is always fun. 

 

Thank goodness, Sunday was GORGEOUS.  We headed out in the boat fairly early to spend the day on the water.  We made a trip to downtown Beaufort and ate lunch at the waterfront park and let the kids play on the playground a bit.  We didn’t even leave Sunday until after 6, but it was well worth it to have a full, beautiful day on the water.  I certainly enjoyed spending my day in the sun with my babies and my mama, it was pretty perfect. 

 













Happy Tuesday!

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...

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...
