Charlie's 6th birthday + fripp island 2021

Sunday, August 29, 2021

Our sweet Charlie turned six on July 2nd and we left for the beach the next day. What better way to celebrate!?! Friday morning I surprised him with his favorite little sausage biscuits...


and it was the start of a super fun day, weekend and week...


 Saturday morning we loaded up to head to one of our favorites, Fripp Island SC! 
We arrived at the house where we stayed with Chad's parents + grandma Frieda. 
We were officially on island time!


the next day it was so fun to celebrate the 4th on the beach, complete with an Air Force flyover and aaaalll things red, white and blue. 


I set up his "bday party" out on the awesome screened in porch while Chad & his dad grilled burgers...


these monogrammed cocktail napkins I ordered back when Charlie turned one (it's his initials + Cade's + Chad's too, so we certainly get our money's worth out of them)


the best part was the cake we road tripped all the way from Greenwood to Fripp, made by Sweet Treats! It took ice packs + a huge rubbermaid container but we did it.


the sparkler candle is from FIG in Greenwood...


we had other friends staying on the island too and it was fun for everyone to come over for cake and ice cream...


then we loaded up on golf carts and went over to one of their houses to watch fireworks!




the rest of the week was spent soaking in all the sunshine and salty kisses...



and making priceless memories with cousins...


and their precious great-grandmother Frieda. What a gift to be able to spend such awesome time with her...








Chad cooked his famous low country boil and it was delish, as always...


and we spent our nights watching movies, riding around to see the deer and get ice cream




and it just felt good to REST and snuggle my babies







we've been making memories at Fripp now for nearly a decade...


Cade's first trip was when he was six months old and now he's NINE!



always so thankful for sweet vacations. 
until next time, Fripp!

As Summer 2021 comes to an end, I wanted to share some of our most precious memories. 

The first family pics we've had all together since Skip (the littlest of mom's grandchildren) was born! Thankful for Oakley Photography for capturing these gems at Isle of Palms. Love these peeps so dang much.  















the past three months...

Once again, life has gotten so busy I've failed at blogging. It's definitely on the back burner and that's ok but I'm back again in efforts of documenting our year! 

Didn't realize how busy we've been until I wrote this all out, but here's a brief run down:

We celebrated Easter...


We went to IOP for a few days over Spring Break



celebrated 13 years in business at Sugar...


Charlie finished up his very FIRST tball season!


and Cade & the boys were so thrilled to finally have another season this year too..


I went to market and had a fun overnight girls trip with friends...



and then I directed a wedding for the sweetest friend's daughter...


and our sweet Charlie had his final preschool ceremony! look out 5K here we come...


we had a fabulous Memorial Day in IOP again with cousins...


celebrated my bestie in Gville and tried out the new rooftop bar, Juniper!





Next up, I'll post about our fun family vacay at Fripp! Can't believe we're halfway through the Summer (really more than half - HOW!?) but we're ready to savor a few more weeks before school starts back...
