Massive Catch up: Part 3 JUNE

Laid back summer weekends.

Although we are generally  GO,GO,GO we did have several weekends in a row this summer where we just CHILLED and enjoyed the long days with friends and family. 

Mikey’s sister and her family came up the weekend of June 1, as this was the weekend AFTER Memorial Day weekend, which was a busy one…we sure enjoyed a low key weekend with family.  We spent the day at Mikey’s dad’s house on the lake and PLAYED.  It was very nice and much needed. 

All of Granddadder and Khaki's (Mikey's dad and step mom) grandkids.... of course my child isn't looking....


The weekend of June 8th….our friends hosted their 4thannual BBQ on the lake party.  We got a sitter for little Colls this year and enjoyed several hours of adult time drinking, floating in the water and eating too much incredible food. 

Me and the hostess:)



The weekend of June 15th…Mikey hit the road to SAVANNAH for a bachelor party …and Colls and I took FULL advantage of NOT having ANYTHING on the agenda.  I rarely do that…and it was perfect.  I think we went to Wal Mart and Chick fil A after work Friday and that was the highlight of my Friday night…haha!!  We spent all of Saturday playing in the pool and laying out with one of my bestest friends…who was NEWLY preggo and it was so fun getting excited about it!  Again, I spent another lazy night on the couch once Colls went to bed.   Even a gal like me who loves to be busy needs a break every once in a while. 

Colls enjoying the beautiful pool!


All three of these weekends were punctuated with naps, snuggles, play time, and sunshine.   They were the perfect weekends to just sit back and appreciate all the GREAT blessings that life has offered us.  The quintessential “dog days of summer.” 

WHY do they have to go so quickly??

CHEERS, y'all...

xoxo

    Aaah, love this. I don't want Summer to be OOOOOOOVER! I'm like you, I love lake days and pool days (and BEACH days) entirely too much. This cool weather today has got eerrrrrrbody in an uproar about Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Buh! Stop. Just stop.

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
