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.

auntie sydney.

so i'm officially an aunt!

me and the lil sis whit are headed to idaho to see baby mac!

we can't even wait.

we've only seen pictures on our phones so far and we're already in love.

more pictures soon.

congrats kels and jord. you will be great and wonderfully fantastic parents!

holla.

bosom buddy. #2

so for this post i originally started out with 77 photos.

and i realized that was probably a little bit ridiculous.

and i was going to make collages and jazz, but then i realized that if i do that for all posts i'll never ever sleep. 

and i love sleep.

so i narrowed it down to these. 

hope you're all satisfied. 

for this week's bosom buddy post, i shall tell you all about kelsey mcmurtrey.
kelsey mcmurtrey used to go by the name of kelsey gillman.
and therefore she is my big sister.
she is one seriously fantastic woman.

we are only 2 years apart, so naturally i have always looked up to her.
when we were younger, she would sometimes use this to her advantage.
example: we would sell rocks, toys,  lemonade, etc. at various stands and she would get the majority of the profit.
example 2: for said toy stands my toys were the ones sold.

but despite these minor instances of abuse, she's usually a pretty good role model to have.
i have always tried to live up to her, and i'll tell you what, it's hard.

kels has always been extremely righteous.
it has never seemed hard for her to make the right decisions,
i think the main reason for this is that she really is so spiritual.

she is not afraid of change or adventure.
she knows what she wants and she goes after it.
she is a hard worker.
she is kind to everyone she meets.
she likes good tunes.
she seriously doesn't have a mean bone in her body.
she's a loyal friend.
she's a good concert attending buddy. because she will plow her way to the front. :)
she has hilarious one-liners.
she's a weirdy sometimes.
she's gorgeous always. even as a pregnant lady she always looks cute.
and is still so tiny.
she has always been the one who nurtures.
(which is one reason she'll be a fantastic mom... and any day now! wahoo.)
she's always been there for me with random advice. men, work and what-not.
her and jord let me be the third wheel always.

and contrary to my beliefs last year, she did not fall of the face of the earth after she got married.
we still talk frequently. but i do miss seeing her face.
(sorry jord if it seemed like i thought you were kidnapping and or killing her or something. sometimes i'm a bit dramatic).

well, i should probably stop now, cause i'm a sleepy lady.
and when i get sleepy i sometimes don't make sense. actually most times don't make sense.
and also cause i'm starting to think of jillions of memories i could write about, and that would take years.
and this is already a long post.

so. in closing (ha. sounds like a talk)...
i love you seester.
and jord. i love you too.
you guys are seriously the best.
i can't even wait for baby mac to come so that i can come visit you guys.
i often wish that you didn't live in idaho cause it's far away.
stoooopid.

note to kels: 
these are all the things i tried to say at your wedding dinner last year, but instead i just blubbered my guts out.

oh. and here are the pics i talked about so long ago:

holla.
