YES.. it is I, Kayla! you found me...

And let me just say it has been a while since I was on here last. Let's just say once my job arrived I packed myself in & life got a little crazy. {CRAZIER than expected}

What is goin on in my life? : I am a NANNY. Yes you did here me correctly. I now Nanny for a living. And to tell you the honest truth>> I absolutely LOVE it. It has taught me so many things about others as well as myself.{crazy how that works-RIGHT?}

When I have time I hang out with friends & of course FAMILY! + I go on fun runs & bike rides (more detail later)

What is the family like? : Well this fam is YOUNG & when I say young I am talking a 2 year old adorable girl & twin boys that are sitting at about (drumroll) 12 weeks old. Okay now that you have gasped or laughed or whatever you did. It may sound like a CHALLENGE, but it has been a RIDE of great ENjOyMeNT & learning! They may at times be a handle full, but seriously it has been worth it. I like it even more than what I had thought I would. Also, the parents are just amazing people & they have made me feel at Home...well not quite, but pretty close! I am pretty LUCKY!

Things that EXCITE me about being a Nanny 4 this Fam : Like I said they are such a great family, they are on top of things (like paying me), they are taking me to MEXICO (in July) and possibly Hawaii (in November) aka experiencing new things, they have provided me with an outstanding bedroom & an INCREDIBLE SHOWER...I mean bathroom (more to come w/ detail on the shower). Overall this job has just made me HAPPY and I don't know how many jobs can do that to you at my age. <-(ha ha that last comment made me sound like I was an old lady)

Because I have so much to catch up on I will just finish off this first blogpost (being back) with a few pictures of my summer SOOOOO FAR!

ENJOY*

I will catch up & let ya know all that is going on and did go on + don't forget that FASHION will definitely come into play!

"May your day be bright, may your smile always show,

may your laugh be loud, may your life be set on GO!"

HAPPY MONDAY!

HELLOoo!

I'm back...without homework, tests, finals, quizzes, but also w/out my friends, the get togethers, & Logan. I can honestly say after taking my my last final in class, a deep deep clean, to packing & leaving I was sad. I was sad to leave that place I called home for 9+ months. So much will be missed.
But I am sooooo glad SUMMER is here!

{tiring}Tuesday- After leaving finals and Logan behind I headed to City Creek w/ my whole life in a big white car. Luckily my dad headed home with my stuff and I went shopping with my 2 sisters Haley, Whitney, & my Mom. Oh how I love City Creek. We only hit 1 store Forever 21 & that's all we needed to hit. We found such cute CLOTHES & I loved picking out a million things for her. After shopping we ate late at Village Inn. YUM!!! (p.s. when we got home all my stuff was unpacked out of the car--my dear sweet POPS unloaded it for me-you should see it...it's a MESS)

{wild}Wednesday- I started training for a new job in Orem...After a long day of training I was able to greet Nin & Brooky at their house in SLC! We hit Walmart, McDonalds, Ikea, Arctic Circle, & Target. I also took my last last final online. Don't worry Brooky was there to cheer me on, throw my papers everywhere, drool all over my notes and through the whole thing shed distracted me. Luckily I finished it in time and did pretty well on it.

{tight}Thursday- I headed back to Orem for training. I spent a lot of hours there and drove all the way back home...yes all the way. When I got home my cousin Carol (she has been in my photos before) was there. YAY! Because it was so late when I got there we all played cards and just enjoyed each others company. I also got to have a sleepover w/ my Mom because my Dad was in Kansas City.

{fast}FRIDAY- This time Carol & Haley drove up with me to Provo, but I dropped them off at the BYU Invitational (track meet) & I headed to go train. Yes, I did do this all 3 days. And I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. I got done around 3 so I quickly headed to the meet to watch a few events. I had so many friends and family running, so I definitely wanted to support a few of their races. I met up with Haley, Carol, & my cousin Beau (my cousin roomie). We had a good time & cheered everyone on we knew. On our way back home we had a fun drive. We laughed, talked, and we sang at the top of our lungs. Once we got back 3 more visitors were their... my Aunt Julie, cousin Emma & Allyson. We all had a blast together by making yummy dinner, laughing and dancing in the kitchen as well as just talking the night away.

{surprise}SATURDAY- My mom, Carol & myself headed back to Provo for the BYU Invitational. We met back up with Beau & my other cousin Melissa. I can't tell you how much I love track. I love watching it, but even more than watching I love competing in it. And to tell you the truth I never thought I would miss it, but I do. It was a great day under the sun & clouds. Everyone I was cheering for did so well & I am proud of them all. We had to leave the meet early because of Haley's Surprise Sweet 16 Birthday Party. Yes we were crazy enough to do this (Melinda, Whitney, my Mom, & I). Let's just summarize it with it was completely chaotic, but it turned out soooo cute, soooo fun, & Haley loved it once she got passed the part of being embarrassed by the HUGE "SURPRISE!" I only stayed at the party for about an hour and a half. It was my turn to go to another party. A big end of school year BON FIRE. It was good to catch up with friends from High School and other people as well. Such an amazing day!

{soothing}Sunday- What a great birthday day. Not only did we all attend church, but I also bore my testimony. I just felt that strong prompting to go & do it. So I did :) What a wonderful feeling it is. When we got home we all hit the kitchen and started cookin' Haley's birthday dinner. "Hawaiian Haystacks" = YUM! The day consisted of relaxing and bonding. I can't tell you how much I love my family. They are my best friends and I don't know what I would do without them all.

Of course Sunday is the most stylish day of the week...so here are the outfits of the day!
