Fit for a king

The kids were busy this weekend planning a surprise for Chad for Father's Day. They decided that they wanted to treat Daddy like a king. It was pretty cute! Here's what his "kingly" experience included:

A little homemade book, a mint, some pretend, hand drawn chips and drink all served on the finest china by Fisher-Price. They also made him a crown that you'll see below.




A red "carpet" that he walked on to get to his throne... As he walked on it, Ellie threw little pieces of confetti that she made!

A fan that read "you are the best"

The fans were used by his servants to keep him cool...notice the little sucker they gave him to eat!

A favorite treat...a rootbeer float

A picture with his subjects... :)

A blessed vacation

Hi friends!

We are blessed to be able to enjoy a vacation in Gulf Breeze, FL. We're having a blast and enjoying the warm weather! I will post pictures as I have a chance, but it won't be until I return as I'm not spending much time on the computer. I am excited to practice some photo sessions with my kids on the beach! I may even attempt a family portrait...on second thought...

This is where we spend a lot of our time...{and also the view from our balcony!!}

This picture makes me laugh as it looks like Ellie's posing for a catalogue! I didn't pose her!!

We let each of our kids pick out their own bag of chips for the week~ and we told them they didn't have to share any! They were quite excited about this experience!!! :)

How do you like our sand castle? Just kidding...there was a sand castle competition on one of the nearby beaches...some of the creations were amazing!

Check out this professional sand castle creator!

and I'll leave you with a picture of why you won't "hear" from me for a week...
