Weekend rewind

!!!!!! It was a HUGE weekend around our casa- we finally took the plunge and started painting the exterior of our house! So damn excited about this.  Painting the exterior was always the original plan, we even did a different non matching brick when we enclosed the carport bc we knew it would be painted. Well, it’s finally time for that! After getting some quotes, yikes- we decided to do it ourselves!!! Our house is only one story and 2150 sq ft- so this wasn’t something we had to call in the professionals for. We split a nice commercial grade paint sprayer with my dad, pressure washed the entire exterior and finally got to work Saturday. Y’all- it is INSANE how fast and easy it was with this sprayer. The set up was the worst part. We’ve done two coats of primer on three sides of the house - it literally took only 3/4 hours worth of painting time. Can’t wait to get this finished over the next couple of weekends!








Mikeys mom came in town Friday and we headed out on the boat and enjoyed dinner out with her Friday night. She played with the kids Saturday morning while we worked! 

We then had a baby shower AND a 40th bday celebration to attend (signs you are getting old) Saturday night with friends- it was fabulous!

Technology- helping parents with long wait times since 2008;-). 










It was yucky and rainy here all day Sunday so we did what rainy days call for and stayed in our jammies all day and watched movies!

Happy Monday!

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...

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...

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...
