goodbye 2011

the last week of 2011 was filled with lots of reunions with my most very favorite people.

so here's a whole slew of pictures from some of my most very favorite times with said people.

#1 kailey taylor and i roadtripped it with some other friends for ellyses wedding,
and we had a happy reunion in the wal-mart parking lot.

#2 once we had arrived in st. george we had all sorts of fun.

ellyse looked absolutely beautiful and i am so excited for her and shane.  

rachel wade!

 i have some really great people in my life :)

#3 i was also reunionized (made that word up cause i'm sick of using the same one) with the mcmurtrey family.

i love them so much!

especially that cute little boston boy. 

i could squeeze his chubby thighs and kiss his squooshy cheeks all day long. 

i love this sister of mine. and jord too.
ps. boston is not eating here, it just looks like it a little.

#4 my good friend chris came home from his mission! 

its been so great to see him again and catch up.

in the picture on the right we're re-enacting high school days

#5 jordan bready, kelsey's best friend came home from her mission in taiwan!

she is like my other older sister and it was great seeing her as well.

goodbye 2011!

thank you for all of the fond memories and fun adventures.

i'm excited to see what 2012 will hold for me.

woot woot here we go 2012.

holla.


also you should check out this blog. i love it lots.
plus i would love to win a blog makeover, cause i've been attempting to work on a new one and i'm at a loss for what to do.

being an aunt is the best.

so here are some more pictures of the cutest little guy ever.

i love my little nephew.

it was so hard to decide on which pictures to put up.

he is so precious in all of them.

my poor children will have to get used to a camera being constantly shoved in their faces.

my favorite little snuggling face.

the proud parents.

aunt sydney (totally the favorite aunt)

favorite. i love his little feet.

 well goodnight boston. 

i love you little guy. i wish you didn't live so far away.

holla.

dear kels: i will put the other ones up just as soon as i find the patience to figure out photoshop.

love you girl.

loves and loathes.

here are some things i have been loving the past few days.

and then some things that i am not loving as much.

(i know that loathe is a strong word, and maybe not entirely accurate for most of the below items.

but it's all i can think of. 

plus it sounds catchy.)

love #1: boston emery mcmurtrey.

seriously, i love being an aunt already.

boston is perfect and the most precious little guy ever.

i seriously am surprised by how much i love him already.

i can't even imagine what being a mother must feel like.

plus i love the snuggle time i'd get with this little man every morning while his parents went back to bed.

he is the only man i need in my life. f'real.

some snuggle time in the early morning.

loathe #1: the fact that he lives in idaho, and i will soon live in hawaii.

i'll be much too far away!

ps. more boston pictures to come soon!

love #2: exactly one month from today i will be on an airplane. headed to hawaii.

headed towards new adventures!

loathe #2: i still have close to no money saved for said adventures.

i am the worst at saving money. 

(sorry future husband)

love #3: spending my evenings with the lil' sis and her friend.

and taking pictures in the photo booth at the mall.

loathe #3: the fact that i have no social life.

but that's probably cause i've made no effort to even have one.

i'm socially lazy these days.

love #4: amaretto and maraschino cherry custard from frozen fusion.

new favorite thing.

loathe #4: how the heck am i supposed to get a good beach bod with yummy things like this?

curse delicious and fattening treats.

and double curse no self control.

loathe #5: the biggest loathe of all.
(and there is no love to go with this one).
being nauseous and sick all the days long.
seriously, what is with this?

holla.
