Weekend in Orlando

We were excited to go and stay in Orlando this weekend with the Laye Family!  We stayed at the Hyatt Regency Hotel and had so much fun playing the pools all day.  Marlee had fun sliding some the big slide many times with Emerson and Cullen.  We had dinner at Kobe's and the kids loved the cooking entertainment!  On Sunday, we woke up ready to take on the day with the Laye's but Emerson had been sick all night so they all went home and we stayed in Orlando.  We went to the mall that is attached to Bass Pro and had so much fun!  We had a yummy lunch at Fuddruckers, rode the oversize stuffed animals through the mall, played at the art stations the mall has set up and ended the day jumping at Jump Zone which was so much fun!  Definitely a fun spot and one we look forward to going back to!

An afternoon with Aunt Bonny

The girls spent the afternoon with Aunt Bonny today!  They had a yummy lunch at the park with Mary Kate and Brooker and then went to the Library.  I love seeing the smiles on their faces!  They love when Aunt Bonny babysits them!

Happy 60th Birthday, Papa!

Today we celebrated Papa's 60th Birthday!  
This afternoon we gave Papa his presents...Marlee gave Papa some sugar scrub she had made so he could wash his hands really good with it when they get really dirty at the pasture and Karsyn gave Papa a pink gift bag filled with pink treasures including pink paint, a pink fish toy, a pink puzzle piece, and pink paper.  She collected these items all on her own and Papa loved them all!  
Papa loved hearing Marlee tell him how she made the sugar scrub for him!


Karsyn was so excited to tell Papa all about his pink presents!




Now to Papa's Surprise 60th Birthday Party with family and friends!  Papa had no idea GiGi and I had been planning a surprise party for him at the pasture.  We invited his closest friends and family and all celebrated!  The weather truly was great (a light rain right before the party cooled the air which was perfect) and everyone enjoyed a very simple but perfect pasture party!  Papa was very surprised and loved it all!  Happy Birthday, Papa!  We love you!!!

Papa loved his edible arrangement and started munching on it right away!

The kids got to go on a fun buggy ride with Uncle Frank while GiGi and I set the party up!

Admiring the cake

Karsyn is a Papa's girl for sure!

We all love Mrs. Shannon

Marlee enjoyed sitting at the table talking to Mrs. Gail about Pete!

Papa and his favorites!



I love this 60 year old so much!

Karsyn wanted cake from the minute the party started so she was so excited she finally got to eat some!!!
