Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner???

A few weeks before I started this blog there was a contest given by our favorite lifestyle photographer. Lyndsay is a friend of ours that we have known for years. She was giving away a free photoshoot to the family who had the most votes.

I worked and worked to try to get everyone to vote so that we would win. Everyone came through and it was a landslide win. YAY!

A couple of weeks ago we headed to Jax beach to collect our winnings. We met Lyndsay at the Pier. We are not the normal family (and you all nod in agreement). So we didn't want the typical beach photos. We wanted something edgy and unseen. So we hit the store fronts, the construction zones, and the bicycle racks.

Wesley takes a little to warm up to people so it was a few photos in before we had the real Wesley back. Lyndsay is very comfortable to be around so it didn't take long for him to warm up. Jon was Lyndsay's little helper. He enjoyed helping her decide where we wanted to stop and how we wanted to stand. He was so much fun. And Renee will always be herself. We have a friend from Gainesville that gave her the perfect nickname. "Sassy Frass" and that she is.

The kids did such a great job. We played on the construction barriers and put them 8 feet in the air on the top of electrical transformers. :) They wanted to play, climb, wrestle, and even do the robot.

Thank you Lyndsay for sharing your time and gifts with us. You have such a gift for photography and share your passion "Jesus Christ" while doing it. You are blessed and a blessing. :)

If you have never experienced "Pink Coffee" you are really missing out. It will soon be an addiction and you will have to explain why you spend so much time enjoying the taste of it. So If anyone has not checked out her blog to see the photos you better stop reading and do that now.

BTW... we did have chicken that night for dinner.   :)
And ice cream. Here is a picture taken about nine o'clock that night on the way home.

Oh...did I forget to mention the part about being bribed?
