the Friday five

1. We enjoyed another fabulous weekend at home last weekend. My parents came over Friday night and we went on a long boat ride and went tubing. Even my mom participated in the fun :). We had some friends come spend the night Saturday and we had a full lake day ....the best. And on Sunday.... we were seriously the laziest ever. It is SO rare for us to do that on a weeken day in the summer... but every once in a while, much needed. We were couch potatoes and all enjoyed naps. It was pretty awesome. 






2. The kids went to church camp this week and finished up swim lessons. It was a busy week! I'm SO happy with their swimming ability. Much needed for lake living. 



3. Toddler convos: I'm not good about writing down funny little conversations but this one took place this morning with Mikey.... g was getting really interested and asking a lot of questions to Mikey about his job and how he made money. 

Daddy: " G, what do you want to be when you grow up? A banker like daddy?"
G: "no, I wanna be a real doctor."
C: " I wanna be a nurse, Graham."
Daddy: "Thomas, what do you want to be when you grow up?"
T: "ummmmm Captain Hook" 🤣
Daddy: "what about something else...."
Thomas: "ok I wanna be a Bergen" (like from the movie Trolls)
*then Mikey proceeds to ask how he's gonna make money being a Bergen...
T: " I'll be a builder bergen".... 

Lol, love it! 💙 and because my dad is a builder, making granddaddy proud!

4. Books! Our local library just opened a new branch so I took the kids the other day after work. They loved it. So it got me back to the library gig, and I currently have 10 books on hold! I need recs for good books. 


 
5. We leave Sunday for our week long family vacay and I cannot wait!  

Happy Friday!!

    I'm not sure what kind of books you like to read. If you like non-fiction, two recent favorites were: The Marriage Bureau by Penrose Halson & Misconceptions by Naomi Wolf. Two recent fiction books that were good: Goodnight from London by Jennifer Robson & The Secret of Midwives by Sally Hepworth. I recently went on a beach vacation, and I only like to read fluffy beachy kind of books while on vacation. Dancing with Fireflies by Denise Hunter was my favorite out of all the books I read on vacation. It's a romance novel, which is a genre I don't read very often because I don't like the way most romance novels start out with the main characters hating each other, then they spend the whole book being mean to each other before finally realizing they're in love. I can't stand those kind of romance novels. I am happy to say this book deviated from that formula.

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

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...

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h...
