OH man. I have put off blogging about my nanny trip to VA for soooo long. Words can't even explain all the fun we had and all the memories. It was one of the most memorable experiences in my life as Auntie Shelbs. 4 1/2 weeks with these kids changed my life! I will never forget this amazing experience! And I posted SO many pictures but I didn't even post half of the pictures I took! I will cherish the pictures forever! So here's some of the highlights-
The kids trying on my earrings the first morning!
LOVE this picture of them dressing up as the prince and Cinderella. Luke cracks me up. Ahhahaha
I brought way too many shoes, which shae gladly took advantage of, and the kids loved to try on!
I seriously just LOVE this crazy lukie bendo!
This is one of my favorite pictures from my whole trip! We went out to eat and I asked Shae to take a picture of us and Lukie put his arm around me:) Such a sweetie.
Sunday Best!
Twinner Hair!
I loved driving the two older kids around as their seats were all the way in the back seat! I felt like a mommy in a big ole mommy mobile!
I even took the kids to the store by myself! It was a fun adventure for me!
Fort building!
Captain Underpants!!!
We had some classic moments putting on scripture plays. We reenacted Ammon and the arms, Nephi gettin the plates from King Laban, and Moses and the serpents.
Swimming and the Rec Center!
We actually got kicked out early, but the kids had fun blow drying their hair in the dressing room!
Tire swing at the park! Emmie's favorite things at the park are things that spin! She loved to spin around soooo fast!

Then we went to the Pentagon Memorial. It was SO AWESOME!
So beautiful at night! Each bench is for someone who died when the plane hit the pentagon on 9/11. There was so much symbolism with the benches and trees and how it was organized! Me and Shae were totally fascinated!
So big ole cones at Chick-fil-a!
