I assure you, if you watch the video…you will realize that I am not married to the next “up and coming” pop artist.
I do love that he has no shame.
AND that he went ahead and sang knowing that I was lying when I said I wouldn’t post this on my blog.
What a good sport. Or maybe he trusts his wife too much.
Either way, I knew you would all enjoy a good laugh today. Especially his clients that read my blog.
So without further ado….here you have it….a Certified Financial Planner that knows how to entertain his family on a 10 hour car ride. (You have to wait for it at the beginning…but don’t worry….the waiting is worth it! And if you only have a few seconds, make sure you watch from 3:20 on.)
I have a problem. It’s called…I TAKE WAY TOO MANY PHOTOGRAPHS!
And the best part. I’m not even that good.
So, to save you from my obsessive compulsive addiction to picture taking…mediocre picture taking at best…I am happily breaking my vacation recap in to 2 different posts. Possibly 3 if I start getting indecisive on which pictures to eliminate. Again. Another one of my bad qualities.
I would hate to overwhelm you or anything.
I realize that your attention span is short. ahem.
This was our first “family” vacation together. My parents came along as well (which was EXTREMELY nice and helpful).
If your going to travel with 2 small kids…I highly recommend bringing some more adults to help you! Extra hands are always nice. Especially when you have 5 million things to carry down to the beach/pool everyday.
This was, of course P Man’s first ocean experience. He did so well! Loving every minute of it!
His favorite was to sit on the sand and let the waves topple him over.
And when he found out they sold fudge pops on the beach…his life was made!
The water was beautiful and clear for 90% of the time we were down there. We were so thankful that the oil hadn’t taken over yet.
I love this one of P and Gigi. Such a sweet duo.
Bents is still just a little young to appreciate much at this point. His main interest was napping.
I’d say he had a pretty comfy place to nap if I do say so myself.
I love how he always has his feet crossed when he’s sleeping. Just of those things that always makes me smile.
When he wasn’t napping…he was either hanging out like this…
…or like this…
Both of which he seemed to like just fine.
We spent most of our days either by the ocean or next to the pool. The weather was nearly perfect. After a full day of sun the boys were spent and we usually did dinner time in shifts.
We took the earlier shift while my parents stayed with the boys…and when we got back we let them have their turn! It worked out quite nice!
This was the view from our balcony at our condo. Great view of the pool and ocean!
Okay…are you still with me? I realize I may have lost you about 5 pictures ago so I will continue this recap tomorrow.
If you haven’t noticed I have been kinda M.I.A. this past week.
There’s a reason!
WE WERE ON VACATION!
I didn’t want to announce that on my blog. You know. In case the crazies came out and decided to break in to our house. I’m paranoid like that.
But, I’ve been DYING to tell you all about it.
We went to Destin, FL! It was literally wonderful! I have SO SO SO many pictures to go through (which is what I am doing right now). It may take me forever to pick the ones I want to post. Or…I may just post a million!
I also got a few “blog worthy” videos that I plan on sharing…including this one…which is my conversation with P Man as we see the “WELCOME TO FLORIDA” sign!
Let’s just say…the 10 plus hours in the car was making him a little loopy!
I am officially obsessed with my new glider for Bent’s room!!
I have been talking about this glider for 6 weeks. SIX LONG WEEKS.
That’s how long it took from the time I ordered it….to the time it arrived on my door step.
I use to have an old rocking chair from J’s dad. It had some sentimental value. But it also had the hardest seat on the planet.
I used it for P, but I decided that I could no longer rock my babies in a chair that made my butt numb. Sorry Papa Keith.
It didn’t make for a pleasant rocking experience for anyone.
Don’t worry. We still kept the “mini” rocker that also use to be Papa Keiths. We are still keeping around the sentimental value. Plus it’s perfect size for Bents. And trust me…he’s too young to realize his butt’s getting numb.
It took me awhile to decide what fabric to go with. My choice was a little risky…just the boldness and all. But I went for it!
I heart it. No. I double heart it.
It’s SUPER FABULOUS! Let’s just say…my butt is happy!
I ordered it HERE. You know. Just in case you want rush out and give your butt some happiness too (and NO…they did not pay me to say that…although I wish they did).
I still need to find some “accessories” for my new shelves and something to put on the wall behind the chair.
Is it bad that he’s 5 months old and his room is still a work in progress?
Don’t answer that.
I did just get his new crib too!! Our old crib was recalled.
FYI: ALL SIMPLICITY CRIBS HAVE BEEN RECALLED. ALL MODELS! I took mine back to Wal-mart and got the FULL price back with no receipt!
It was actually kind of exciting. Not that I am excited that cribs are getting recalled. But it gave me a chance to get Bents a new crib.
And a boy this cute…deserves a cute crib.
Don’t you agree?
Not to mention I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night knowing that my sweet baby boy is sleeping in a crib that could possibly be dangerous.
Win/Win for everyone!
A safe (and cute) crib. And one happy butt. Life is good.
