Baby Shower!

This past weekend, my sweet friends on St. Simons threw me a baby shower! It was such a beautiful day, and I was thankful to get out of the house! The decor was blue, green and white - the same colors as our nursery!

Yummy food - homemade cookies and fruit and yogurt cups

Me and my mom with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law

And my sweet cousin, Mayer, made the trip down from Atlanta!

And baby Roberts received a lot of great gifts!

All of the wonderful hostesses!

Dad and Johnathan were so nice and came over after the shower to help load up the gifts

Next post ... nursery reveal!

30th Birthday Surprise!

Hi friends! I am sorry I am late to get this post up, but I wanted to share with you pictures from Johnathan's 30th Birthday Weekend! He had no idea that I had been planning a surprise party for him for about 2 months, so I was really excited when everything came together and he was completely surprised! His actual birthday is February 17th, and I had convinced him that I was taking him out of town for the weekend, so since we'd be gone, we needed to get together with his immediate family Friday evening to celebrate with them. Little did he know that there would be about 50 more people there to celebrate with us!

 This is what surprised looks like!

 Friends and Family + Barberitos + Live Music = Good Times!

 Our good friends Tim Miller and Ben Jones came to play music, and of course Johnathan got a chance to play some Johnny Cash!

Mmm, cookies and cream DQ ice cream cake is always a big hit!

 Lauren got a hold of my camera ...

On Saturday the girls went shopping all afternoon while the boys recovered and played ping pong at Brendan's house! We went to dinner at The Red Barn, where Kevin sang with our waiter, and then we went to Ziggy's! Always a good time!

On Sunday most of our friends had to leave and go home, but Kevin was able to stay until Monday. Sunday was honestly one of the prettiest days we have ever had on the island ... 75 degrees, sunny, and no humidity! We picked up some sandwiches and rode bikes to the north end of the island. The pictures below somewhat capture how pretty it was! 

GA/FL Weekend - continued!

Friday evening of the Georgia-Florida weekend, we took Lauren and Mark to one of our favorite restaurants on the island - Sal's pizza! It is a little dive that only has 11 tables, which normally means they are really busy, but it is worth the wait! We stuffed ourselves with garlic bread, margarita and supreme pizza, and then to finish the meal, an amazing piece of cheesecake with fresh blueberry topping! All I can say is it was goodness in my belly! 

 Saturday morning we left to head to Jacksonville around 9 am. Last year when we went to the game we found this great tailgating spot, and thankfully we found it again this year! Its within walking distance of the stadium and has a nice grass lot to set up the tent and chairs. Other than it being unusually cold for most of the day (hence me being wrapped in a blanket in the picture below) the tailgate was a lot of fun! Our friends Dustin and Stacy joined us at the game, and we had a great time!

 Here's a pic towards the end of the game. Even though we were leading, it wasn't by much, but clearly the Florida fans had given up - look at the difference in the fans still in the stadium!

 Woo hoo! Georgia wins 24-20. Now onto the Auburn game this weekend, and then hopefully the SEC Championship! 

Batman and Spiderman

Before all of the trick-or-treating began, our nephews stopped by our house last night to show off their costumes! They love superheroes, so they sported their favorite outfits! T.G. was Batman and Jack was Spiderman. They had a lot of fun outside climbing on the boat and up a tree - they really got into character!

 T.G., I mean, Batman, liked to get really close to the camera!

I had to get a picture with the cute boys! 

Jack climbing in the tree in our front yard - he really looks like Spiderman! 

Georgia/Florida Weekend Begins!

Even though we aren't in college anymore, we began our activities for the Georgia-Florida weekend on Thursday evening! We had perfect weather to take the boat to the Rah Bar on Jekyll Island. Here are a few pictures from the boat!

Me and Johnathan

 The sunset last night was absolutely gorgeous! The pictures don't do it justice.

We enjoyed the live music at the Rah Bar!

Darius Rucker Concert

On Wednesday night we went with a group of our friends to the Darius Rucker concert! It was a lot of fun, especially because the concert took place at the Lodge on Sea Island! This week they are hosting the McGladrey Golf Tournament, so he came and made a special appearance!

The concert was a blast, even though it poured down rain! It was still so much fun and everyone just embraced the weather and had fun even though we were soaking wet! Darius played a lot of his new songs (we are on a first name basis), but he broke out some old Hootie and the Blowfish, too!  Here are a few pictures from the night:

After the rain and soaking wet, but still having a great time!

My dear friends Ashley and Brooks!

Football, Soccer and a Bike Ride

Hello friends! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! I was excited that I finally had a weekend at home since we have been traveling almost every weekend in September. 

On Friday night, we went with our nephews to the Glynn Academy Football game! Jack (on the left) sported his new high school hat and sunglasses - he kept asking everyone if he looked like he was in high school! T.G. and his friend had so much fun and laughed the whole time!

 Saturday morning we headed to Jekyll Island to see Jack play in his soccer game. He has been dominating the past few weeks, so we had to go support him! He scored three goals - go Jack!

Saturday evening we were back to the football field to see my school, Frederica Academy, play its first ever home football game! There were close to 1000 people in attendance, and everyone was so excited! We ended up winning 24-0 - Go Knights!

On Sunday, we got up early and went to church, then went to eat breakfast at Palmer's in the Village. They had the best blueberry oatmeal pancakes I had ever eaten! After that, we went home with the intention to get a lot of things done around the house, but it was just too pretty outside to be stuck inside! We hopped on our bikes and went on a bike ride around the island for about 2 hours. It was so nice. 

Sorry for the random picture below, but its the only one I snapped yesterday. One nice thing about riding your bikes is that you really have time to check things out rather than being in the car. I saw this house for sale and I absolutely love the style of stacked stone and shingles. It is for sale, but I know its out of our price range considering the other side faces the beach! Maybe one day ... 

I can't wait til this weekend when I'll be with my best friends for our annual Fall Girls Weekend!
