S-E-V-E-N

To my girl,

I cannot even believe I have a beautiful SEVEN year old- you've been way too excited to grow up lately and it makes my mama heart hurt just a smidge.  As much as I LOVE watching you grow, it pains me to see it all happen so fast.  You continue to make your daddy and me so proud every day.  You are such a hard worker in all things - school, dance, art, you name it.  You are so focused and intent on learning and I just love watching your love of learning. You are constantly writing daddy and me sweet little notes, you love to write in journals and have gotten into bracelet making/art kits a ton! You are extremely well behaved OUTSIDE of the house (hint hint... can we work on that?!)...  but seriously, all of your teachers talk about how sweet and respectful you are and what a wonderful LISTENER you are- somehow that doesn't always transfer to the house and being a good listener for mama and daddy, but we still love you no matter what.  You are extremely sensitive and have become quite attached to mama the past 6 months (I'm not complaining!).  You get anxious about some things and only want mama when that happens, but we are working thru it!  Your brothers are definitely starting to get on your nerves more the older you get, but you are still so sweet with them and play with them for the most part.  

I'm loving watching your love of dance develop, who knows where that will go and how long it will last- but I sure enjoy seeing you get so excited about it!  You are also quite the little artist and enjoy drawing.  You got roller skates from Santa and have loved learning how to skate, you've become quite good and impressed us all at your birthday party!  

There's not enough words or time for me to ever adequately tell you how much I love you, you are our baby girl and we are forever grateful that God chose us to be YOUR mama and daddy.  We love you SO big and are so proud of you always,  Happy big number SEVEN, sweet girl!






From baby to beauty in the blink of an eye!

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 night for a date night, headed to our fav, Sal

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h

These are the days.

Goodness gracious, I LOVE summer.  I talk it to death every year, but it is especially important to me during this season of life where the school year brings homework/schedules/strict bed times/extra curricular craziness- I appreciate the LAZY days of summer EVEN MORE. I've tried to be intentional about taking a half day here and there to soak up TIME with my babies.  Because Lord knows, they aren't babies for long.  (Yes, I'm referring to my 7 and 5 year olds as babies- #cantstopwontstop ) When we returned from our anniversary trip, we got back early on a Tuesday and used the rest of the day to spend quality family time together.  We took the kids to a local water park, this was all of our first time visiting- and we had a ball!   That same week, my girl and I dressed up and attended her very first company banquet for dance, too much fun!  Lake days with friends are sooooo good for me- we've so enjoyed many of them this summer
