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.

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...
