weekend and life

Last week was extremely emotional around my part of the world.  My SIL (my brother's wife) lost her dad suddenly and we all loved that man, and he was without a doubt, my SIL and niece and nephew's BIGGEST fan.  And then, on the night of his funeral- I learned that a dear friend for life lost her husband suddenly.  I was in their wedding 14 years ago and she was pregnant with her second child in our wedding- she's like my older sister and I am simply devastated and heartbroken for her and her babies (who aren't really babies anymore).  Life is hard, friends.  Life is also way too short.  It just got me thinking about the way we treat one another and live our day to day.  I'm making it a personal motto to try and spread more LOVE and KINDNESS everywhere I go.  I ride around and see people get so pissed driving and honking horns...in the grand scheme of things, does it really matter? Or being rude to a sales person.... or getting feisty on facebook over something you believe in or disagree with- we all just need to let it go.  SMILE at each other and go on about our way.  Let's all just SMILE more.

On to our lately....

Mikey is on the board of the Free Medical Clinic here in Columbia and they had their big fundraising event last week that we went to.  We invited some friends and we enjoyed a little time out with them.

We also ended up going out to dinner with a group on Friday night- I took no pictures, but it was just a good, fun night hanging with our people while our kids stayed up way too late playing together!  Thomas wanted to dry my hair for me Friday night:-)

We spent almost the whole day Saturday traveling and attending the funeral of my friend's husband, so it was an extremely tough day to say the least.  Thankfully, my in laws kept the kids occupied and entertained for us during the day.  We came back and spent Saturday evening snuggling our babies and lounging on the couch watching movies. 

Sunday was spent doing NOTHING.  We had been so go, go, go lately- I wanted a day where I didn't have to get out of my pajamas if I didn't want to.  I borrowed Mary Poppins from a friend and we ended our weekend with family movie night, I wanted the kids to see it so we can all go see Mary Poppins Returns when it comes out!

A little Sunday stroll....


My girl and her dance bestie...

Monday was the boys Thanksgiving feast at preschool- so precious, although my little G was NOT into pictures.  Can't believe this will be the last Thanksgiving feast we will go to at Union- goodness, time- you are a thief.




Their teacher sent me these pics yesterday and goodness, what a portrayal of two different personalities, lol!!




I can't believe we are already at Thursday, here's to being kind and spreading LOVE in life- we all need it!

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...

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...
