A High School Graduate

Sorry folks about just leaving y'all, trust me I have been busy. Here are some pictures to prove it! Over the time since I have last updated a lot of things have happened! I have attended my senior prom, the blue dress:), done an awesome senior prank, and graduated from high school! Now it is summer! And I bet a bunch of y'all are wondering what I am doing, well I have a JOB! I am working 3 days a week for a family in my neighborhood with 2 of their 3 children. I love this job, but Im missing the kids because I have been in Florida for almost 2 WEEKS! I had to fly home early though because I am taking an 8 day class to get free classes at the Community College, ugh yeah Im not so happy about that. If I had made a better score on the ACT I would be going to Ole Miss, of corse, but soon Fall will be here and we will be heading to Oxford to see my bestie Trey, and to do some tailgating. My vacation to Florida... 3 words... Pool, Eat, Repeat. Haha! It was very relaxing and being on Anna Maria for 10 days was great! I must say though, my mother and I very on fighting terms almost by the tenth day, thats what we get for staying with 2 other girls! The plane ride home AKA my first plane ride alone was emotional when my mom first dropped me off at the air-port. Once I got in the Tampa air-port though, I was fine. Being home alone is weird though because I am used to being with her, so thankfully I have something to do tomorrow. When I got home I was so thankful to be home! I graduated on May the 18th and last night was my 4th night home since I graduated, so my bed felt very very good! I also turned 18 in March! Whoot, Whoot! I can buy a lottery ticket, if only I was 21, but here are some pictures from my parties. They both very low key, one was with my friends and family then the second one was just with my family. The cake was made by a lady in town, it was yummy! Thats All For Now Maggie

Long Time... NO BLOG

Wow, it sure has been a while since I blogged back in September about Emma Grace, now she is a chunky monkey and is still being enjoyed by everyone in the family!
Lets see, right after EG was born like I think 2 weeks later I was off to Mayfield for a girls weekend and first time to drive that far alone! I went to a scrapbooking retreat and didnt even take a picture! Sorry. But I had tons of fun. That night that I came home, my madre was home from a 4 week trip overseas, I had mixed emotions on her being home haha! It was pretty nice having the house to myself being just my dad and I were home.
October came in with a BANG! First my parents were off to Vegas then we were off to Ole Miss 2 days after they got back. Can u say Crazy?
Halloween was very fun with the littuins but it was so COLD!

Ok folks thats all for tonight

Emma Grace

Sweet Emma Grace arrived Thursday afternoon at 4:34, I think:). She weighed 7 pounds and 5 ounces. I missed her birth :( but that was made up by being the 3rd person to hold her! These pics are, the banner I made for her baby shower that we had a couple of weeks ago, Emma Grace and I last night, and Emma in her so so cute bow today. I spent my entire afternoon with the new fam and enjoyed baby Emma since the seniors didnt have school today because we got back from DC last night and everyone is getting back from "N'Oleans" or New Orleans late tonight. She is precious, super cute and much smaller than we thought she would be lol!

Congrats Jen, Alex and Welcome Emma Grace to the Blane Family

Blogging

Hi if you are here from Kelly's Korner, welcome! One of my tips about blogging is remember to update your blog and I also like to make 2 blog lists like I have done on my blog! I'm sorta new to blogging and need some help with pictures, do you have any recommendations? I sure hope you do for me! Also scroll down and read some other posts and let me know how my writing is!

So my questions for y'all are!
-How do you find topics for post?
-How do you find a fast/ easy way to upload pics? ( Is there one)
-What do you think about my writing/ journal?

Tips
-Remember to update often
-Have 2 or more blog columns one for family/ close friend and one for friends/ people you really don't know and maybe a recipe/ savings one!

Enjoy!

OMG

Or......

O My Georgia!
On Saturday, I spent the morning and early afternoon with my favorite almost 1 YEAR OLD, Georgia! I thought I was going to have Charlie also, so I had planned for us to do tons of fun things like go to the Farmers Market downtown since it was Saturday and then go to the Public Library for story time. But Georgia and I only did the Farmers Market. Then we came back home, I tried with no success to get her down for a nap so we just played! Here are some pics!


The one above is so my fav! It was her climbing under the coffee table and it was so cute! I just love that smile!

This is her sweet mommas favorite! I posted all of these on facebook and out of all she liked this one the best, the one below!
I dont know if I have told yall how much I LOVE this family! I have been through the up and downs with their little boy, he has hit me, kicked me, and even cussed at me but they still "invite" or "ask" me back to babysit! We do have our breaks like after we got back from Palm Island I didnt hear from them for about 2 or 3 weeks and during the winter they didnt need a sitter for about 2 months! But I love my Grays lol!


These 2 are GA playing on her activity table and on the floor! She loves to play!




Have A Great Week!
