Weekend rewind

Whew! We worked our butts off this weekend all around the house. Much needed. We finished painting the exterior of our house (well, for the most part. We will have a few touch ups and Mikey still has to get on the roof and roll the chimney.) I can’t even tell you how much I love it!! If only our roof wasn’t brown - ugh, one day..... 

Mikey pressure washed the entire driveway and it made a world of difference. Now all of our sidewalks, patio area and driveway have been pressure washed. I, yes.... me.... cut the entire yard with our push mower. And didn’t realize I didn’t have the “auto” propeller on till the end, face palm.  We cleaned out a lot, took two loads of junk to the dump. 

Next up, landscaping. 

We also had some fun this weekend too. Friday after work we enjoyed several hours outside while the kids played. It was gorgeous. And then Mikey and I came back out for a little “at home date night” once the kids went to bed.  Then, Saturday night we left the kids with sitters and enjoyed a couple hours cruising the lake and eating dinner out, another beautiful spring evening. But, our days were full and busy- we literally worked from 9 am till 5 Saturday and 10-7 Sunday. So we were POOPED Sunday night. 

 Collins had some sweet friends over for a play date Sunday and they were so cute and played outside for hours — and let the boys tag along:-) 

Here’s to taking next weekend OFF and heading to our favorite escape in the low country. Happy Monday!

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...
