Alright, alright...

So, I know I have been inconsistent...but really, isn't that what this blog is all about? A surprise post!

Well, I'll just put up a few pictures from this summer.

My birthday

A little cutie and me at the pool

Sisterly love on the 3rd of July

Thrift (junk) store hat

Well, that about sums up my summer. Well, the most fun things at least. My summer was mostly just nannying. I did have a lot of fun this summer spending quality time with my parents though! I always love being with them and I'm lucky I have such wonderful parents!

Now its back to school...

To all my fans out there...

This one goes out to you.

A post!

I just had a lovely trip to Disney World with the whole family plus grandparents. It was wonderful to relax, have fun, and just spend time with my siblings. Here are a few pictures from the trip (which are mostly just pictures of the pictures they took on the rides)

The "Smoking Jacket" we found in the house.

Just Jammin' to some Aerosmith...Enjoying Rockin' Rollercoaster

The Classic Churro Shot

Enjoying Space Mountain

??What's up there Grandma??

It was such a fun vacation and I'm ready to do it again!

Summer Fun: Pt. 4

O, Canada!
I'm becoming consistent...but don't get too comfortable with it, because once school starts this consistency will end.
This summer, we spent Canada day with our relatives up north in the grand old country of Canada. It was fun relaxing, enjoying cool weather, visiting family, and reminiscing.

Isn't it beautiful?!


Mom, Dad, and me

Cousin Brent and me examining something.

This restaurant was entirely covered in flannel.

Appetizing?

A cutsey ice cream and candy shop. They wouldn't sell me their "Belle" pez dispenser. :(

Hmmm...I still don't know what to think about this. Does it really matter where your ice comes from?


Fun at the lake
Sisters!

This is by far, the best picture of the trip. HAHAHAHA

Summer Fun: Pt. 3

Moving on through the Euro trip! After traveling through Germany, we headed over to England to visit the Giles family in Brighton. It was a jolly good time. We enjoyed relaxing after rushing around Germany and had so much fun with Jamie, Ryan, and Lincoln. (Ellie was still in the womb)

This is how we slept in the airport when we were waiting for our flight. Looks comfortable, right?


These next pictures are things we thought were amusing...

I think this picture speaks for itself.


Nice...


!



Now we are back to normal pictures.

Lincoln waking me up on my birthday.


Sisters at the Brighton Pier


Never too old to ride the carousel!

We went to a funny zoo/playground/water park. They had a Thomas train there that Link just LOVED.

Fun trip!!

Summer Fun: Pt. 2

I'm still just in may with my summer fun series!!! These pictures were taken during the Germany portion of our Europe trip this summer. One of Ashley's mission companions (Bonnie) was from Germany and she met up with us and traveled around the country. It was a very fun trip and I learned a lot about Germany while I was there.

Shortly After arriving in Germany


Taking a shnooze after a long day of travel in the deluxe Presidential Suite


Sipping some juice on the terrace in Germany


Listening to some interesting factoids in the Nazi museum.


I believe Dad said something along the lines of "Pose with the car that was driven on the Auto Bahn!" We went 126 MPH on the AB. Yes, mph. It was scary.


Mom and I enjoying our gingerbread.


Celebrating Blue Nacht! (I don't know how to say blue in german)

The church is still true in Germany!! :)


Beautiful German countryside


Auf Wiedersehen Germany!



Next to come.... Ello Great Britain! :)

Summer Fun: Pt. 1

My summer has been really great. I have been lucky enough to travel to Germany, England, Canada, and St. Louis. I have seen all of my family members this summer, all of my best friends, and had a steady job working 40+ hours a week. I am just one lucky girl!!
Here are a few pictures showing what I've been up to.

Giving my speech.

Welcoming Ashley home.

Reunited Siblings!


***More to come!***

Spring Break!

Well, I had a very fun Spring Break visiting my sister, Jamie, in New Jersey and also visiting NYC.
However, I forgot that I had my camera with me most of the trip! So my pictures are minimal.

Wonderful view of the NYC skyline from Jamie's street.

Lincoln with the annoying burp toy from Burger King. He loved that!!!

Linc is one cool dude!

Thanks for the fun trip Giles family!!
