ohh how i love the weekend.

summer weekends are the best though.

(compass lake)

this past weekend was no exception. it started friday, at work. took the babies to the country clubs pool. they had a bast. so did i. then that night an old friend picked me up and we drove about an hour to compass lake where we boated and rode floats. the water was warm and clear!!

saturday i woke up early to meet my dad at the bank so that he could help me apply for a car loan. then he asked if i wanted to tag along with him on some errands. i love spending time with my daddy! first we went to a local beads store to pick out some leather for him and i found a cute bracelet i though my mom would love, so he bought it for her as a 'just because gift' (hello- he is a good man!) then we went to lowes where he happily purchased me a blow torch! what 23 year old girl doesnt want a blow tourch! oh man is it fun!! (side note, i took a jewelry class in college and needed it to finish some soddering that i never finished!) then home just to hang out! i never want to take spending time with my daddy for granted!

after spending the morning with my daddy, i rushed home to hang out with my boyfriend, caleb, and our puppy remi! when caleb left for work, remi cuddled up on the couch with me to take a nap- or is it a sleep? we napped for almost 4 hours!

sunday caleb and i woke up, took remi to puppy classes and then headed over to our friends (B&D) parents to swim in the pool. this was remi's second time there, and he LOVED it. he swam his little heart out. B and i discussed wedding stuff- her wedding is in october 2011 and i am the moh and her wedding planner extraordinaire! and well caleb and D discussed man things. meanwhile our puppies played and played!

a day in the life of a nanny

meet the petty ladies i take care of and get to love on monday- friday! be jealous, they are super cute!

addie(in the above two pictures) is almost 2, and sassy! she gives the absolute best hugs ever! seriously, her cute chubby arms wrap completely around your neck as she engulfs you for a hug! she is TRI-lingual. thats right, this baby has brains! she of course speaks english, but is also pretty fluent in spanish and knows quite a few sings(sign language). she loves to sing songs. wheels on the bus and the alphabet seem to be her favorite. she also loves to count in english and spanish. you could read her books all day and she would be the happiest. she is very into crafts: painting, coloring, and markers! she however, does not like to share!

this little nugget above, this is ady! she is fiercely independent! she is 10 months old, and will not take no for an answer. she crawls super fast. will eat almost anything you put in front of her. always wants what you have. she is smart. she is an explorer- she will go anywhere to get anything. fill up a box of toys, if she spots a small toy at the very bottom, covered up by all the toys atop, she will reach in, fall in and get her toy. she currently only has the two teeth pictured, but we think she is getting more- poor girl. she is a cute sleeper, sleeps on her tummy with her hand wrapped around a small blanket. and ohh man is she ticklish!!

i love this job.

and no they are not sisters, their parents do a nanny-share.

the beginning

so.not.clever

thats just it.

im not. although i wish i were at times.

this blog will be my ramblings with many grammatical errors, and that is one thing i can promise.

i am a forever college student it seems. i graduated high school 5 years ago and am still in a community college. its not that i am not a smart cookie, i am, i just never applied myself as much as i should have, and now i am starting to regret it. i am now on the final stretch though and will be completing my AA in this coming fall semester. woohoo! my parents will be so proud- hopefully.

speaking of parents. they are the best. i love them and my older brother, justin, very much. family is important to me. my brother has two daughters taylor(6 going on 16) and ainsley(3) and they mean the world to him and my family.

i live with my amazing boyfriend of (almost) a year and a half, caleb. he is a chef by trade. we have a puppy, remington, but we call him remi. he is a lab retriever mix, 5months old and we adopted him from the shelter. he is the best puppy and brings so much happiness to our little family. other than the occasional rug eating., he is actually a pretty good dog. we have him in puppy training classes every sunday for the next 3 sundays, he has already completed 3 classes. so far he can sit, stay, lay down, knows off (like when he jumps on you because he is excited to see you). we are still working on walking on a leash, i dont know why, but that is so hard for him and us. also he is working on come.

monday thru friday you can find me at my nanny job. i watch two beautiful girls. their moms are friends. addie who is almost 2 and ady who is 10months. thats right addie and ady how awesome/confusing is that! they both make me laugh so hard every day.

some nights i babysit for them along with their brothers or also for this other princess emerson who will be a big sister at the end of the year :)

on weekends, i like to take it easy, have no schedule, other than remi's puppy classes on sunday at noon, and just go with the flow. sleep, i love to sleep in. which is usually no later than 930.

what else?

you will just have to find out!

ps- i just baked this amazing peach crisp! can you smell it?
