My sweet kids :)

I know I told you I would write this yesterday but didn't actually do it. I know, I am a slacker! :) Here are some pictures and updates on how my day was yesterday!

I went and got J and R from school and we went and got lunch. We spent the whole afternoon nearly playing hide and seek and playing the Xbox. It was a blast. I know I am going to have fun with these sweet youngin's this summer!

summer :)

So tomorrow I start my summer babysitting job. I am completely excited! Last year I kept and fell in love with a little boy named Nate. It was hands down the best summer I have ever had. I spent time with Nate every day and grew closer and closer to him. As August neared, I had to cope with the fact that I wouldn't get to see my little man as much anymore. I stopped to visit a few times on my way home from college on the weekends and then they moved.

This summer I am sure will be completely different yet equally enjoyable. I am keeping an 10 year old girl, R and her younger brother, J who is 8. I am not used to older children. I have experience with babysitting them but the majority of the children I babysit are younger. However, I am sure we will have a lot of fun. Because they are older I can take them to a movie, bowling, or even putt-putt and am sure they will enjoy it! I am excited to get to know them and grow close to them over the next few months.

I'll update you tomorrow on how our first day goes!

And the verdict is...

Well I have pretty much talked myself out of changing my major. I love younger children and could probably do more with an Early Childhood Education degree than a Middle Grades Education degree. I thank my friends and families for honestly giving their humble opinions and leading me in the right direction!

On another note this weekend has been great! Friday night we ate at Sarah and Bubb's. We had "Fatties", and they were AMAZINGGGGGG! We have never tried them before and they were out of the world! A fattie is a layer of bacon weaved like a basket and laid out. Then on top of that goes hamburger meat and then whatever you would like to add in the middle. It is then rolled up like a log and smoked for 3 hours. Bubb made another rendition with weaved bacon, sausage, granny smith apples, and maple syrup that I was reluctant to try. I did though and it was way better than the hamburger fattie! My Bubb is an awesome 'Cook".


P.S. These are all from my sister. I stole them from here!


Saturday my mama, Sami and I spent most of the afternoon soaking up some rays in the swimming pool. Later than night we met up with some of Mama and Daddy's friends and Sarah and took a trip down to Uvalda to Benton Lee's Steakhouse for a super awesome supper. The steaks my sisters got were HUGE. They both brought back almost as much as would be served at any other restaurant for leftovers!

We took my car to Benton Lee's and let the old folks ride in the RV. We called it the Geriatric Party Bus, we named it that with much love :)

Today I went to Zack's cousin, Macy's dance recital. I have gone the past three years and have thouroughly enjoyed seeing her dance and improve every year. She did so well this year she'll have to work EXTRA hard to make it any better next year!
