Duckies love their mommies, too!

So.. We went to Outback, and in the parking lot were the cutest babies I have ever seen.........


Of course, under the watchful eye of their mommies.



I loved them! And i kinda think they might have liked me....


 The fact that people were throwing bread at me may or may not have had someting to do with it.....


 Either way, I was happy.


JJ on the other hand was not so fond of my new little friends...




Eventually the mommies started investigating, too. I felt the need to stand up at that point.


That is when they started standing on my feet....


I fell in love with these little ones. Who could resist that face??

New mommy in the family!

We officially have a new mommy in the family! Yesterday, my aunt had the cutest little baby boy.

Aunt Dani


Uncle Neil and JJ
Most precious baby ever.


This is my Aunt Nina and Uncle Greg's first baby! My Aunt Dani and Uncle Dean have two kids (4 and 7 years old). I love them all to death. I cannot wait to see what little James will be like as he grows up, but I'm also super excited to have a baby cousin when I'm finally old enough to hold him by myself! yay!!

Make that five weeks!

This summer has been crazy fun. I've been with some of my absolute favorite people for a week, or two, at a time! Except my mommy... My first week of summer I was on Pilgrimage to North Carolina with my J2A class at church! They're all like my family, and I've known most of them since I was really little.

When we got to the church we stayed at our first night, I found that my mommy had hidden a surprise for me in my bag! A bracelet that says "Together or apart" on one side, and on the other "you are always in my heart." I wear it every day. She also got me VeggieTales silly bands, and the VeggieTales bible!


My Boo... I got to spend two straight weeks with her!
I don't know what I would do without her.

Some of our boy! Why they still wanted to sit after nine hours in the vans, I have no idea.

Fr. Og!
FROG
Fully Rely On God

The Crew!

Miss Sandy!
aka one of many second mommys
Miss Jessica couldnt come with us, she had to stay home with her little babies!
She was my other sponsor for confirmation.

We went to Jockey's Ridge the thrird or fourth day.... I fell. Sand + Camera = Very Very Bad.

We got home a week after we left, which was a Saturday. I was home for about 19 hours, and then left for Camp Weed! My wonderful mommy did my laundry once I seperated it so that I could sleep!! She. Is. Awesome. She also sent me brownies and cookies while I was at Camp to share with my cabin!

Anyone I meet at camp almost immediately feels like family. Its so great!


I was with My Boo again this week!

Old and new friends! This picture makes me laugh!

Cabin Weed!<3

This is why I love Camp!

Church Family<3

The next week, I was home!! Me, Mommy, and JJ worked VBS this week! Again, surrounded by people I love!

Mommy worked with the Pre Schoolers, JJ with second and third grade, and I got to walk around and take pictures/help where help was needed all day!


I loved seeing all their smiling faces every day!
We had a lot going on during the day!
Games!

Crafts!

More crafts!

Music!
 I love watching all the little ones having so much fun!

My buddy, T!
 The best part is getting to spend even more time with people that I love!





The next week, I was out of town again! Finally with my mommy!!!!! We went to her favorite place in the entire world. North Carolina! But this time... in the mountains! (unlike Pilgrimage)


Walk to Silver Run.

JJ and I at Looking Glass Falls.

Fool's Rock on Whiteside Mountain!

Me and Mommy next to the train!


Hike to Hooker Falls.


Hooker Falls!

And we did so much more!

We got home yesterday, and I leave again tomorrow to LIT at Camp Weed! I am super duper excited, except that it means yet another week away from my mommy! The week after, I get my mommy all to myself! JJ will be at Camp! And I will be done with my non-stop going!

Sweet Summertime!

It's finally summer!! These first four weeks will be nonstop craziness. Thank God for moms!!!

This morning, I woke up to one of the grestest smells EVER....and a cat attacking my face.

My wonderful mommy made cinnamon apple muffins!



They were quite delecious.

After getting up early on THE FIRST DAY OF SUMMER, Mommy deserves some time to relax. She curled up on the couch surrounded by not even half of her "fur babies" and probably fell asleep watching Bill Cosby.
