definitely summer

FINALLY!!! it's summer, i'm babysitting/nannying whatever you want to call it, best friend stuff, one-on-one time with my camera, working out, it's HERE! summer is here! and i'm just so excited:D

soo first of all, i started nannying again this summer. the girls and i have lots of fun days planned (this upcoming week we'll probably do a workout day and DEFINITELY a photoshoot! i'm excited). and to kick off the first day of summer we made CAKE POPS!! bites! haha rephrase. we attempted to make cake POPS and ended up making cake BITES instead because cake pops are a whole lot harder than it looks!

so a box of funfetti, a can of frosting, 2 packages of candy coating, and a whole lot of mistakes later, we ended up with this:

the only magic 8 that actually worked out

what we wanted them to look like

how quite a few of them worked..

what we ended up doing instead

our cute little "happy summer" friends:)

okay so they didn't exactly work how we planned.. but we gave them away to some very excited families. the best was when a sister from our ward told us we had made her day:) but we learned. next time, cake bites only;) i'm going to figure it out someday! i'm determined;)




the next adventure: halloween, thanksgiving, birthday, christmas, new year, and valentines day (plus celebrate summer) ALL IN ONE! hahha i finally got my socks;) and i think all of them are my new favorites! nathan took me to get them, ended up with 6 pairs, and super excited to do a sock photoshoot, because of course they're fun socks, so might as well show you sometime;)
after sock shopping, we went out to the reservoir, and lucky me! nathan let me just experiment with my camera. here are a few of my favorites:)

our shy friend the lizard;)

and then flying kites! with the kids:)

i like this one because of seth. he's soo adorable and he looks up to his brother. you can tell and it's adorable<3!!!

she looks up to him too. he's just amazing

precious rachel! i wish i had a sister every time i'm with her

wow that was only tuesday? okay anyway! at the end of this whole date, nathan gave me the prettiest necklace ever and AHH! i love it! it's so meaningful and i've worn it every day sense. it means so much to me. ahh! love it! i'll post a picture sometime soon i'm sure:)

wednesday was pretty boring.
thursday a date got canceled:( mainly because one of the guys was missing working {{long story haha actually kind of funny too hahaha}} so nathan and i went on a bike ride. only five miles and my legs were KILLING me! plus i dropped my phone somewhere along the way and yeah it was a crazy ride! but fun:)

mmm friday nothing too spectacular. and saturday just took the ACT so that's pretty much it!!

finally summer! {{and finally posted sorry:/}} i think, if i get the chance, i'm going to post a little more often. so i dont have this weird "take forever to download" problem. hopefully! no guarantees;)

thanks for a great week babe and for everything you do<3

hope you're having a FANTASTIC summer everyone!
