My mountains :))

Isn't it pretty?? 

Day 2=lots of driving! and Day 3 :)

No video today. Sorry! Today (well actually yesterday, I had no internet connection yesterday) we took off on our 2 week adventure! We left Gainesville around 4:30 and didn't make it to my grandparents in North Carolina till 2:30 in the AM. Needless to say we were all verryyyy tired! The ride up here was not that bad except for being a little cramped in the backseat because of so much stuff but other than that it was good! I passed the time by watching Pirates of the Caribbean on my laptop :) Day 3 consisted of nothing but relaxing which was awesome. My grandma made pancakes and we hung out around the house. My mom and I walked down to the creek which is where me and my sister spent a lot of our time when we were younger. After talking for a bit, we made the ridiculous walk back up the very big hill to my grandparents house. We were both out of breath by the time we got to the door, and very tired haha. My favorite part of today was sitting with my grandpa and him telling me all about his time in the military. It was really cool. He told me some stories and showed me his medals. I have such a cool papa :) I also got to feed a hummingbird! It was really cool, I had a bottle cap filled with sugar water in my hand and I held it out and I was very still and the hummingbirds would come and drink out of it! I could feel their wings touching my hand and one of the hummingbirds almost sat on my hand. It was beyond cool! I'll have to post pictures soon! But I'm off to bed now, toodle-oo lovelies! :)

New Idea!

So as stated in my previous post, I won't have good internet connection while I'm on vacay, so I'm going to make a video each day telling what we did and when I get back from vacation, I'll post them one day at a time (maybe more) so you can share in my adventures! Sound good? I'm excited! Day 1 will be coming tomorrow cause that is the day I'll be stressed out packing! haha toodle-oo lovelies! :)

Trying something new...

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all those wonderful fathers out there! I've had the special privilege to grow up with my dad who is the best father I could ask for (I might be a little biased ;) Anyways, I am very close to my dad and am such a daddy's girl! I'm incredibly blessed and thankful for all he has done for me and my family. He is truly a self-sacrificing man. He is a family man because he grew up like that. He grew up with 2 wonderful parents who taught him the value of a marriage, a family, and a relationship with Christ. For me to have a father like that is absolutely amazing. I'm excited to spend today with him and just letting him know how much he means to me. I am a daddy's girl through and through. I hope you all have a great day with your fathers too!

That's my daddy! :)

Toodle-oo my lovelies! Have a great day! :)

I love babysitting

Ok in all honesty, most people would not make that statement. Unless you are me and you flippin love children even though they can be real moody and downright mean sometimes. So tonight I was babysitting my cute little boy from the daycare I used to work at and let me just tell ya, at the beginning of the night I was already ready to go home. He was being all moody and particular about what he wanted to do and where he wanted to sit and he even threw in a couple of tantrums just cause. Oh, I should probably tell you that this kid is 2 years old. Yep, 2 and he gave me 2 of the hardest hours of babysitting evaaa. But it was all worth it. You know why? After I finally figured out what show he wanted to watch and he finally stopped being so moody (joker was moody cause he hadn't had a nap earlier) he sat beside me on the couch and was all curled up to me. Next thing I know, he's out cold. Couple seconds later, he rearranges himself to be laying on me and is dead asleep. Cutest. Thing. Ever! It made me want to have a little one of my own so bad! But let's be real, I can SOOO wait for that! I'm babysitting two more times this weekend so I have a busy weekend ahead! Hope you lovelies have a wonderful weekend! Toodle-oo! :)

Happy Birthdayyyy!

So today was 2 of my favorite people's birthday; my mom's birthday and my niece(technically cousin) 1st birthday! It was a very exciting day! Last night the family went to Connastoga's which is an awesome place down in beautiful Alachua for my mom's birthday dinner and then today was all dedicated to Princess Mya! She of course didn't mind all the extra attention towards her ;) She even took a couple steps today! She got a lot of presents and got really messy with her cake! She is such a happy baby and I'm glad I get to be her Aunt Emmy :)


Isn't she adorable?!


She LOVED that cake! 


The adult cake..haha

Well that was my Saturday and I loved it! Hopefully ya'll had an eventful one as well! Off to bed, toodle-oo lovelies! :)
