What I'm Loving Wednesday

I'm loving SOOOO many things today. I have so much to be grateful for...

{Baking, baking, and more baking}

I'm loving being a little Betty Crocker. I made these yummies last night.

And yes, there is a step for licking the bowl.

That would be step 5.

I might have eaten a lot of cake batter....oops!

I actually had so much batter that I didn't even want one of the finished cupcakes. :)

{Boys will be boys}

I'm loving spending time with these 2 cuties.

My old sunglasses provided a great photo opp....I took advantage!

{COLIN}

I'm loving cuddles with sweet baby C!

I love these pics I took of him last night, especially the fluffy hair pic on the right.

It was taken right after his bath.

{Bachelor Pad dos}

I'm so excited for the new season of BP.

Although it can be very dramatic and somewhat annoying at times, I love it!

I have a few favorites on the show and a few that I cannot really stand.

I started the 3 hour!! episode last night, but haven't finished it yet.

I think watching it in small increments works best for me. Haha.

I'm slightly ADD and it becomes so repetitive with the whole this is what has happened, this is what's happening, and this is what is going to happen. Seriously? Just let me watch the show!

{Ocoee Zip}

I'm loving that this weekend I'm going zip lining!!

I've never been before and I will probably be like a kid on Christmas Even come Friday night.

Saturday, I will roadtrip to Tennessee with a friend of mine for this fun little adventure.

I'm really really loving that Saturday night, I'm going to dinner with some friends.

Japanese is my all-time favorite and I haven't had it in about 2 months!!

{Nanny}

I'm loving that I have a trial run with a new family this Friday.

It's a family with 4 kids, but 3 are in school so I will mostly just have one child.

I hope it works out well and that I will get offered the job.

Happy hump day lovies!!

The Nanny Diaries

I'm loving being back home (although I miss the island and all of my friends soooo much!!).

There is just something about taking care of little ones and getting to do all the things I love at the same time...

This morning I picked up the 2 boys (Charles and Ryan-no Alli today bc she started school) and we headed to my sister's to play for a bit (bonus I get to see Blakely and LK). Since it was only like 8:30, it still felt kind of nice outside so we decided to go for a walk.

The babies enjoyed cruising and the big kids enjoyed walking Coral on her leash.

Last week, we enjoyed a day at the zoo. It was like 79 degrees with a 100% chance of rain, but it was $5 fun day. We risked it, but it barely sprinkled at all. It was such a fun time.

It was Charles' first time at the zoo and he loved cruising around in his stroller and checking out the animals. I think his favorite was the monkeys.

Yesterday, I only had the 2 big kids (Alli and Ryan). We spent the entire day park hopping. Again, it wasn't too hot so we took advantage of it.

The second park we went to had a nice wooded trail that we decided to take a walk down. It was so much fun and Coral loved it.

I'm really loving my lazy nights at home with my sister, Kim, and her hubby and baby C.

Renting $1 movies from the redbox and eating delicious homemade meals is my idea of a great night. Haha. Yes, I'm 25 and feel like I'm 40. Oh well!

I would recommend all of these movies...they were all well worth the 1 dollar.

This little guy makes feeling like an old fart all worth it...

Happy Tuesday lovies!!

I have so many exciting things happening in my life that I can't wait to share...

Coming soon.

What I'm loving Wednesday

{Colin}

I finally got to meet my precious nephew, Colin.

My first time holding him.

He is the absolute sweetest thing.

Look at that sweet yawn.

Love this face.

All clean and smelling delicious after his bath last night.

{New job}

I started my new job yesterday.

This is Alli, Ryan, and Charles.

I've been keeping Alli during her breaks from school for several years. I also kept Ryan last summer, but yesterday was my first day having all 3. It went great. Charles is such a sweetie.

I took them to my sister, Jenn's house. I got to visit with LK and Blakely and the kids had so much fun playing, picnicking, and watching a movie together. It was such a fun day!!

{Pool}

Today I only have the 2 big kids. We are heading to the pool soon to meet up with Jenn, LK, and Blakely. We are all packed with sunscreen, food, drinks, and floats.

{Coral}

Coral is adjusting really well. She has been slightly tortured by several kids, but she tolerates it well. She has been sleeping in bed with me and I love having her!!

She has gotten to where she loves riding in my lap when we are in the car.

{Happy hump day}

What I'm loving Wednesday

So my job in the Bahamas is done and I'm home bound in the next couple of weeks although I'm super sad and will miss these guys tremendously I'm so happy to be going home.

With that said, here is what I'm loving today...

{ONE}

I'm loving that if my sis holds off until her due date or even until the 1st of August, that I will hopefully be home for Colin's entry into the world!!! I'm also loving that I'll be home for some of Kim's maternity leave...we have sister time to catch up on.

{TWO}

On the same note, I'm just loving that I'll be with my entire family again and close to most of my friends... I can't wait for family nights and girls nights with my bff's!!

I especially can't wait to love on all of my babies whenever I feel like it!!

{THREE}

I'm loving that I might be taking this little guy home with me.

{FOUR}

I'm loving that I've talked with some of my awesome previous employers and they are happy to put me to work until I find a new job!! I can't wait to see the kids that I've taken care of in the past.

{FIVE}

I'm loving that my time left in Harbour Island is vacation for me...I'm enjoying sleeping in and hanging out with my friends. I had drinks with a couple of my girlfriends last night at Valentines and this is the sunset we got to experience.

Absolutely gorgeous!!!

Happy Wednesday lovies!!!

My Life

What I have been doing lately:

1. Baron's Game with family and friends

2. Lots of pool time...I spent Friday, Saturday, and Sunday @ the pool.

3. Alabama Adventure=lots of fun, but wayyy too much sun for me.

4. Library fun with the kids....they had to have their pic taken with Rock Shrimp.

He told us all about how to conserve water.

5. Girl's Night

Have I ever told you guys how awesome my family is?

My sister's Kim and Jenn, my favorite sister in law Rebekah, my niece Halle, and me all got together for dinner and a movie. We are big fans of O'Charley's and $1 movies. We went to see The Last Song...such a good movie!!

6. Lots of Chick-Fil-A trips.

I could seriously live off of these...

and the kids really enjoy their play place and their ice cream.

In addition to Alli and Ryan, I had sweet baby Haleigh Grace a couple of days this week.

Here are a couple of pics I took of Halle and Haleigh together.

7. Free movies @ the Rave.

It makes me so happy that my sister's and some of our friends have summer's off and we all get to enjoy time together doing fun things like going to free movies, going to the pool, or just meeting for lunch to let the kids play.

This week's free movie was Astro Boy...it was cute.

Haleigh Grace slept through the entire movie, but I had to improvise bc the movie was so loud.

I used my jacket to block her ears. haha.

I recently saw the preview to this movie and I am so excited to see it.

It looks awesome....and of course I had to see if there was a book and there is!!!

Yah!

I immediately bought it on the Kindle.

I am currently rereading Eclipse to prepare for the premiere next Tuesday so as soon as I am done, I get to start The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud.

8. Watching movies...

Great movie by the way!! I also read the book years ago.

8. Learning the presidents.

History is not a strength of mine. A friend of mine shared this book with me and I read it last night...it's amazing how easy it is to learn the president's names in order. I was impressed.

Tomorrow is pool day with family, friends, and all the kids. Should be exciting.

Have a wonderful Friday!
