Summatime

A few highlights from our Summer 2015.

Barksdale Beach week at Litchfield over July 4th:

The kid is obsessed with his daddy. I mean obsessed.

Sutton's 4th Birthday:

I'm not sure who had more fun with face painting…me or the kids!

"cannon ball!!!!"

My baby turned 5 and had the best birthday yet. What a lucky girl! But I'm much luckier to have her!

I had to fix Isabelle's favorite meal of all time, chicken pot pie and we succeeded in having our first ALL family meal at the beach (kids and adults!). Instead of a cake, I served ice cream sundaes. Complete with a cherry on top, which is really all Isabelle cared about.

Feeling happy and looking beautiful in her new rockstar outfit.

It wouldn't be a beach week without...

Family photo take one:

Success! (well, almost)

Celebrating the 4th with the annual parade!

July 4th dance parties

And we head back home where

The 5th birthday celebration continues…

I stepped back into childhood and put together a very special fairy party for my girl and her besties.

I couldn't help but go overboard once again. It's just what I do with kid's parties.

We made fairy houses.

I painted faces and each child made their own head wreath with flowers.

Cake time! Carrot cake was her pick this year. Some 5 year olds are not so sure about carrot cake. Isabelle is quite sure about all of my cakes!!!

After a faulty blow out of candles (by her hilarious young cousin, Molly) Isabelle and I partner up.

After lunch, I read a note that a fairy dropped off at our house. It shared the news of a scavenger hunt….and off they went searching for lost items that fairies left behind for them!

I could not be more proud and in love with this child.

Our summer ended with a trip to the lake where we all enjoyed beautiful weather and special time with baby Jamison! Isabelle is so obsessed with him and such a sweet and loving cousin to him! Collier didn't try to steal his toys or push him, so we are thankful for that.
