Weekend rewind

I wrote this post weeks ago and tried to get it to upload like 5 times before giving up- i blog from an app on my phone (i know, so professional over here...) and it kept messing up on me.  I never feel like nor remember to get on my computer once at home after work.... so it's just sat unfinished.  I was going to give up, but i'm not quite ready to stop documenting our mundane every day life just yet.  So here we are.

At the beginning of the month, Mikey headed out of town on a guys golf trip and the kiddos and I had plenty of fun to keep us busy!  I took off work early Friday and we headed to the zoo- a rare treat for this working mama, to enjoy the zoo during a weekday when the crowds aren't terrible!  We had a blast- and I basically felt like I was there with three teenagers- sniff sniff.

We hung out with two other mamas and kiddos Friday night (whose husbands were on the same golf trip) and then Saturday we took the whole crew to Newberry's Oktoberfest, which we thought was a GREAT idea, and would have been, if it wasn't 100 degrees.  I mean, holy hotness.  Even some of the bounce houses were too hot to even get on. So we stayed a little over an hour and then headed to a late lunch before heading downtown Columbia for a bday party.  ( I told you we were busy!)  My crew stayed at the party until 6 and a sitter took them to the grandparents for the night while I jetted up to Rock Hill for a super quick but super fun girls night to see one of my best friend's new house.

Sunday was spent snuggling, and then gearing up for one more bday party before daddy got home!  We were all WIPED by Sunday night!  But, we sure had fun.

Surprised my girl for lunch for the first time at the beginning of that week:)

 Just a little real life on one of my boys!
 Mikey and I also enjoyed a fancy night out for the Columbia Chamber of Commerce's annual gala the Thursday night before he left.
 Zoo day














Oh, and Happy Halloween!

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...
