glenn fam vacay part 1

A week on vacation, there’s not much better. Am I right?  But, let me back up and document our weekend BEFORE we left for vacation. 

 

As much as I LOVE to go, go, go I also like to have weekends at “home” …doing fun stuff.  Especially now that we live on the lake, I don’t want to be out of town all the time.  So, because I had been out of town the first two weekends, I wanted to be HOME the next two.  On Friday July 21 we didn’t do anything….  But get ready for vacation.  It takes a lot of work!  It was also nice downtime with the kids.  We spent that Saturday morning busting our butts around the house/yard tidying up for being gone a week.  And then the rest of the day was spent hanging out on the water with friends. We had the best time watching the kids play and catching up with some of our besties who we don’t see very much.

 

But, by 7:30 am Sunday morning, we were up and at ‘em ready to get to BEAUFORT.  We took the boat, so we had to get it out of the water, take the dog to my in laws, pack a bazillion things…. You know how it goes. We finally got on the road around lunch, just in time to stop and eat, ha!  Anyways, we made it to Beaufort around 4:30 and enjoyed a relaxing afternoon/evening of swimming in the pool and celebrating a super late father’s day and Mikey’s birthday with my family!  

 

Our weather forecast for the week was pretty horrible, but it ended up being WAY better than I thought.  It rained half the day Monday, but then was gorgeous so we spent the afternoon swimming and then enjoyed a sunset cruise on the intracoastal. My brother’s family and my mom stayed until Tuesday morning and then we were on our own for several days.  We went to Hunting Island state park Tuesday, it is one of the PRETTIEST beaches and we had the BEST day.  It was gorgeous and all of the kids enjoyed the beach for hours.  The boogie boards were a favorite and the waves were perfect for little ones.  We ended Tuesday ngiht with a dinner out and early bedtimes for all:-)

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...
