A Day for Daddy

     I posted the fun photo shoot I did with the kiddos for the Father's Day Gift, here's the hubby opening up his gift up.  He really liked it, I couldn't wait to hang it up!

      After the present opening and we got ready, we headed over to a friend's house so the hubby could learn how to brew beer.  See our friend, Vinnie, brews his own.  And the hubby has always wanted to learn, so what better way to spend Father's Day then doing something for him with him.  We snacked on pizza, enjoyed a glass of Moscato, let the kiddos play, and let the daddy get his brew on.

 Look at the Brew Masters!

When I asked the hubby what he wanted as a special treat for Father's Day, and he said he wanted a chocolate pie.  So that's what I did.  I made him this amazing, rich and creamy chocolate pie! 

Overall, it was another great day spent with family and friends.

I think he really enjoyed his day for daddies.

Father's Day Gifts

      Have you ever gone on Pinterest and found a photo idea and thought, "Hey I can do that"?  I do it all the time.  Well, I thought I would give it a try again for some Father's Day gifts.  Of course, the photo shoot doesn't always go as what you plan in your head.  And you have to take LOTS of pictures before finally getting "the one."  So here's some cute outtake photos that aren't "the ones."
I tried recreating the Foot Photo on Pinterest. They sooooo didn't get the concept and kept giggling or not keeping their feet straight.

I finally had to bribe them with food to get them to somewhat sit still....

Then I wanted to do a picture for their Papa.

But Mr. kept giving me silly faces and Little Miss wanted to roll around.

I finally got a some shots to use, then edited them.  

I printed four 4x6 pictures and put them in a frame to spell out the word "PAPA."

As for the hubby's father day gift...I just had to do some cropping and editing.

Turned out pretty cute!

Texas Time

     The next couple of days we just hung out around the house, at my sister's and my mom's.  It was nice not having a schedule for awhile and just being able to relax and take it easy.  We did A LOT of watching the World Cup (as you can see, Kinley is a fan!  I taught her how to put her hands up and say "GOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLL!"  It's so cute).  Usually when we head home we are always on a schedule....seeing friends this day, and going to dinner with family this day, the zoo/Sea World/Children's Museum this day, etc.  Don't get me wrong, I tend to live by a schedule most of the time, and it certainly comes in handy when handling the kiddos.  But I wanted this visit to be laid back for a few days, because we did have a few activities planned later in the week.  But until then, we pretty much did nothing and loved it.

     Since I knew we would be in Texas right after Father's Day, I found these really cool gift packages from Man Creates.  One of my friends told me about them and I'm so happy she did.  I really liked that I could pick and choose the date I wanted them delivered.  So I set it up to deliver while were in Texas so I could give them out in person.  They are the perfect gifts for any man in your life!  I ordered a Spicy JerkyGram for my dad and the Premium Jerky Ammo Can for the hubby!  They both really liked them, and so did the rest of the family!

     Well, remember that picture frame I found at Target?  I got to finally present it to my Father-in-law when we all went out to eat at Texas Roadhouse.  I had photographed the kids holding up a "P" and an "A" so they could spell out "Papa" when I put them in the frame.  It turned out really cute and he loved it of course!

We took some family pics outside before we headed back home.

      The next day, we hung out with my mom and Mr. Camden.  

He is starting to stand and side step.

Loves playing in the drawers...

Life is ALWAYS good at Grandma's!

Big boy loves his pickles like his momma!

(My sister used to eat SO many pickles she actually smelled like dill pickles

TRUE STORY!)

Look at those big blue eyes!

Love my little nephew!

Hanging out with family is always a great time.

Happy Father's Day

     Happy Father's Day to my hubby for being an AWESOME Daddy to Liam & Kinley

Happy Father's Day to my Fun Loving Daddy & PapPaw

And a Happy Father's Day to Wonderful my Father-in-Law & Papa

A Father's Day Gift for Papa

     With Father's Day literally right around the corner, I had planned on making something special for my Father-in-Law while down in Texas.  But with so many things to do for the shower, the baptism, seeing all our family and friends it got put aside.  So when we got  back home, I made sure to get it completed.

Supplies:

3 picture frame

stamp pad

paper cutter

card stock paper

tape

markers

How to make it:

Print "Only the Best Father's Get Promoted to Papa" or you could use Grandpa, Grand Daddy, Grandfather, Grands, Opa, PaPa, PapPaw, whatever your child calls his grandfather out on a piece of white card stock paper.

Cut around the words to fit into the frame for the middle picture.

Have your child step on the ink pad, then place their foot on another piece of card stock, cut to fit in the frame.

Here's what they would look like printed on the card stock.

Then to make it more personal, I had Liam write his name by his foot.  And since Kinley can't write yet, I just wrote her name by hers.

Then tape the pieces of card stock to the inside of the frame facing down, that way they don't move within the frame.

Place the back on the frame and that's it!

A very personal and special gift for Papa!
