Daddy Daughter Campout...

Thanks for all the votes on Facebook and comments here on the blog about our entertainment center area.. still haven't decided.  Leaning more towards the shelf route.  I'll definitely show you a picture when it's done!  And Darin finished our basement stair area too so I have some more pictures to hang and I'll show you that area too.  Cherry board and batten finish.. it's SO pretty!

And to answer one of my blog reader's questions.. the cords are hidden in the wall. My girls' closet in their room is behind that wall so he was able to hide the cords quite well.  That was one of my criteria's for a flat screen.. didn't want to see cords running down from it!

Last night Darin fulfilled his promise to Adie Grace to have a camp-out in the back yard sometime this summer.  It was a cooler night and they headed out after her soccer camp at church. 

She was a bit excited as she grabbed her blanket, Baby, book and her tent..


This is really funny that I keep posting pictures of Darin shirtless on my blog because he's usually so modest.. he won't even take off his shirt to mow in the front yard. Probably because he's too drop dead gorgeous and doesn't want to make the lady folk neighbors stare out their windows and secretly water our yard so it grows more and he has to mow more. =) 

Anywho.. here's my shirtless, modest hubby and Adie they go ready for the camp-out on the trampoline..

Setting up the tent...


Jumping while setting up the tent.. that always makes things easier...

Adie caught some fireflies while she waited for daddy to finish putting up her tent..

And here they are ready to go to bed! Or at least in theory. Adie didn't fall asleep until 11pm and Darin was about 1am..

They are so cute...

I love that Darin is sooo amazing with our girls.  He's willing to play barbies.. run behind Adie on her bike in the 90 degree heat so she'll learn how to ride her bike safely... and sleep out on the trampoline in the muggy, mosquito filled night.  

My bet was that they'd be in by midnight.. but they stayed out all night long!  Adie even slept in to a whopping 6:45am. Not joking when I say that she was honestly sleeping in!  It's usually 6:22am. Every. Morning. =) That's when the timed moon (night light) goes off and she knows she can get up for the day.

Love the memories Darin's making with Adie!  I'm sure she'll never forget this. =)

so, so cute! we did that last summer with jessica. but not on a trampoline.... and then we ended up camping in our bedroom when a rainstorm ruined our first real camping trip plans...
was darin out in the open? was the tent just big enough for adie? seriously- what an awesome daddy!

Yes.. Darin was out under the stars.. hence why he was up til 1am. =/ He was hot but didn't want to get out of his sleeping bag because he would get eaten alive by skitoes!! He didn't complain, tho!
