4-Wheeler fun :)

Today we went to our friends house to ride his 4-wheeler! We had a lot of fun! I even got to drive... I would have to say... I'm not that bad ;)

Bean



This was taken at my sister's wedding about 4 months ago. After the vows were said and I walked into the reception, I looked for beans to hold! She fell asleep on me while I walked around visiting people. I even gave my maid of honor speech with her like this... :)

I can't wait to see her grow up! And hopefully be at my wedding... Not in my arms of course, but close by my side! That goes for all her sister's too!

The picutres I take, and what I do with them.

I like to take pictures... But editing them is what I enjoy... This is Danielle a friend of mine. She asked me if I would take some senior pictures with her volleyball jersey. When I was taking them I couldn't help myself from getting more of a close up on her face... This is one of the pictures without any editing.


Not the greatest picutre I would have to say. The coloring on her face is blochy, and her lips are doing something really funky. Not sure what to call that? But I wanted to try and work on it...




I added a glow to Danielle and Black and White. But you still see the lip, and that really bothered me. I needed to do something with the lip, so... I filled it in.



This is the finished project... I was pretty happy with it. I think Danielle is a beautiful girl, I enjoyed woking on her face :) Ha

These are some more I took that day...

All day... This is what I had to look at...

I am back from a morning/afternoon of babysitting for a boy named Jasper. This last year in Volleyball we had a new coach, Erin. She called me a couple weeks ago asking if I would like to watch her son. I really liked Erin, so I knew I would like her two year old too. When I walked in this morning I was greeted by a nude little boy running around! By 3 I was out of there, him safe in sound in bed, taking his nap... Nude... :)

I went to Wally world with my mom and Lane. Came home and left soon after to pick my dad from work. When we got home I ate and left again to baby sit for the Stward Family. Ten came to help me, what a big help she was! We even grabbed a taco on the way home! Yum!

In my last post I seemed to have forgotten some very important people in my life... Bernie and Angel. Aka... Brad and Angelina.

They are pretty great to be around and, no lie... they're one the coolest parents I know. My girls don't know how lucky they have it!

:)

Well that's it for the night... Sweet dreams!

Today I got to stay home! Yippey for me! It seems that I am gone everyday... ask my family and they will tell you it's true! I baby sit for over 8 familes in my small town of Bluffton. I am a nanny for, four girls that I love dearly!

Tenley Jo ( 11 ) is the oldest of the girls and is a big help when I watch them. She is into horses right now, and babysitting. I plan on taking her with me to baby sit, so that she can be a super nanny one day!


Grace Rebecca ( 8 ) Is the randomest girl I have ever met! I almost never see her without her Spiderman hat and that big grin of hers! If I need to know anything about Egyptian times, she's the one to go too!


Riley Ann ( 6 ) is a prinecess. I love to watch High School Musical with her, and sing along with her. She sings Gabriella's.... Of course I have to sing Troy's part :)








Lilli Jane aka Beans ( 10 mons ) I was there three hours after her birth! She is such a joy!






Even though they aren't my family, I feel like I am apart of there lives alittle. I hope for the girls to be in my wedding... ( A long time from now! )





Here is my real Family...




Of course you have a Dad and Mom, My dad is a pastor, and works at a Telephone Company. My mom works inside the home, answering phone calls for
HomeDepot. I'm not totally sure what she does though... lol. She is my school teacher also, I am homeschooled if you didn't pick that up.


My oldert sister is Lana, she is now married and living very happily with her husband of 4 months. Derek is the "Robber" who took Lana from us... He is still under probation in my eyes.





Then there is me.... enough said...



Betsy comes next! She is not my real sister... But she is blood, a Cousin. Last year before Christmas she came to live with my family and me. She came at the right time last year, right when Derek and Lana started to date. So when I lost my sister/bestfriend.... I gained a custer ( sister/cousin ) She was there for me through it all... :) She did leave for the summer and came back for the wedding in October. So the day Lana left our family, we got Betsy. She sleeps in Lana's old room ( sometimes ) and fills in any gap lana left.




Landon, oh the joy of having a brother! He is the only boy sibling in the family. I don't know if that's a bad thing, you would have to ask him. He can be a blast most of the time, but when he is mad at you... Stay away!!! I try and stay on his good side, but that doesn't always happen. He can draw very well, I hope to see him do that more in the future!



Lane is the baby of the family... and when I said baby... I meant it :p jk jk.... I love her to death! A number of times she as stood by my side when I needed her. I would like to think she looks up to me in a way? I know she acts like me sometimes... which isn't good. She will be dancing around in a crazy way and I will ask Betsy where she gets that from... Betsy will sadly look at me and say... "You"



Last but not least... Lola :) She is my favorite I would have to say... I have spent more money on her then any other sibling in the family... She likes to sleep in my room, and lay around all day. For a cat... She's not that bad :)






I think that's it for now... Later :)
