Three Little Treasures

This summer I have had the fun of babysitting three sweet kids, that I hsve been watching for a few years now. It was one of my first real jobs and it is so cool to see how the kid's and I's relationship has formed. I get so excited to come see them and hear what they have been up to.
They tell me about their camping trip, or how Silverwood went and tell for the 100th time what grade they are going into because I forgot.....again. We have had lots of adventures this summer like scavenger hunts (the picture below is of the scavenger hunt), baked sugar cookies, colored, made clay paper weights, q-tip painting, hand print wreathes, face painting, built forts, and so many other things I have lost track of.
I love it when the come up with their own game. It reminds me of playing with my brother and the things we would do. This summer the game they came up with has been an animal hospital. They created a entire hospital in the garage with beds and cages, then got all of their stuffed animals out, hooked trailers to their bikes and saved the animals. It was pretty fun to watch their creativeness soar.
  Izzy is the oldest and my helper in anything I need. She knows how everything goes and is my go to when I don't know what goes where or how one of her siblings like something.
Austyn is my color buddy, they all love to color, but I think her and I do it the most. She also teaches herself on how to do the pictures I draw, by holding it up to the window and tracing it.
Parker, my pancake eating monster, his favorite breakfast especially if there are chocolate chips involved. He also is pretty much always smiling and up for whatever crazy idea I come up with.
Over all the point of this blog post was to show how awesome these kids I get to watch are and the coolest part is we still have about a month before school starts,  so excuse me while I go come up with an adventure.

The One Where I Graduate

Hey, Everyone! This girl did the thing, she got her diploma. Not without the help of some dear people. My teachers are incredible through the last few years at the co-op I have worked with me and taught me so many valuable and cherished lessons.  I have been blessed with a loving and hard-working Mother who has spent countless hours preparing and teaching lessons. She has spent time discussing, researching and praying over the best direction she needed to take with my education. My parents have encouraged me through any adventure I chose to embark on. They never let me believe I couldn't achieve whatever I set out to do. They taught me that hard work would always be rewarding, to always do best, and by example, they taught me to put others first and give when I can.  My brother James is truly the best brother in the world. He is my sidekick in life and we have had countless adventures together. He has shown me to accept whatever happens and be happy at the moment. He has taug...

Meet Riley!

 Hey, so you remember all those posts I did in July? Yeah, me either....I am sorry guys. Summer has been great! Full of adventures and fun. We had our VBS, celebrated the 4th, I had my college orientation (a hopeful future post), we went camping, and enjoyed many days outside in the sunshine. Along with all these fun summer activities, there has been an addition to our family.     Everyone, meet Riley! A fun-loving, three-year-old, German Sheppard. She came to us through Spokanimal, but she is originally from LA. There, she was found on the streets and had just had puppies. We don't know what happened to the puppies but are thrilled to have her in our family. Riley loves grass absolutely loves it. She rolls around in it all the time and wants to be outside as much as she can. So far, she has loved everyone she has ever been around. The first day we got her we had our VBS team and a couple guys came over and she loved them. Last week we had twenty band kids over for a c...

New Roads

Another adventure I have been up to is driving, I started driver's ed about 3 weeks ago and what and adventure it has been. Between navigating the DMV for my permit, learning to deal with teachers and classmates that are different from what I am used too. Not to mention the actual driving, hehee that has been entertaining. One of my first times out, there was an incident involving a Zip's parking lot, a turn lane and a learning what a drive thru lane is. Moral of story I now know what a turn lane is, everyone lived and I am sure that the guy in the drive thru wasn't in shock for long, whoops! Last night's adventure involved a car trying to cut me off, driving in too close at the gas station,  a imaginary person in the road and hitting a porcupine. (Which I actually cried over) What I am learning is that I am never going to be instantly perfect at something I am going to mess up. The important thing to remember is I have amazing parents here to help me learn, a class ...
