Weekend Again!

Here I type on this chilly Monday night as I babysit little Taylin due to the fact that her parents and brother are on their way back from the semi finals football game. Her brother is off to the championship! They had a great game apparently.

So this weekend was great if not better than the last!
Friday I watched Sinister with my lovely quad mates as well as Trevor and some of his friends! I jumped as usual. Then I watched The Lion King to keep me from having nightmares. 


Saturday I had my first 4th grade girls basketball game. Sadly, we were a bit younger than the opposing tall, experienced, decent team. I am coaching with Nicole Reetz and we both thought the girls did alright for their first game ever; however, we now have a wonderful list of things to work on! Practice this week will be interesting. Afterwards, my best friend and I went to Gateway in Lincoln. I got my Amigos fix and then we went back to Friend and hung with old friends!

Sunday came around and I did some homework, just trying to be a scholar and all. At 6: 45, I was picked up by Trevor and we went to Olive Garden! He was such a gentleman; opened the door for me, held my hand, just being himself! We then went and parked at the top of a parking garage and had time to waste before we went to Captain Phillips. (Great movie by the way, I advise seeing it) How many of you can say you have actually done the pretzel on top of a parking garage? I can now! Trevor made me get out of the truck and we danced in the cold. Basically felt like I was in a movie. It was precious I tell you what! I will definitely remember that night forever. He then gave me a piggy back ride all the way to the Grand Theater. When we got home, I crashed and got up for lovely Biology at 8am! So there was my weekend in a nut shell.

I am pretty easy to please and do not need great things to make me happy. I really do believe it is the little things in life, whether it be seeing the shocked faces on little 4th grader girls' faces when they realize they have to actually guard a girl when they are shooting or dancing on top of a parking garage. Appreciate what you have. "Don't cry over the past, it's gone. Don't stress about the future, it hasn't arrived. Live in present and make it beautiful."  :)

I Love Surprises

A large proportion of my high school weekends consisted of watching two adorable little kids. This kept me out of trouble for sure and I still babysit on weekends when they go places. 
Shown below are some pictures we have taken in the past years and weekends we have enjoyed!

Taylin loves to be wrapped up like a baby. She also loves attention but is the sweetest little girl!

Last year's Halloween
Breckan and Taylin's older brother had a playoff game on the night of Halloween. Their parents asked if I would take them trick-or-treating so I said of course! We had a blast. Breckan was John Cena and Taylin was a la la lucy doll. 


We're crazy. 

Wedding this summer!
This weekend was a pretty memorable. I went to their house on Friday as soon as I finished teaching at Crete High School for my practicum. I stayed there until 10:30a.m. on Sunday morning. Generally they get home much later but due to the fact it is rifle season, they arrived earlier. Friday we played games such as candyland, monster's inc style of guess who (awesomeness), and kickball in the basement. It was a thrilling night. Taylin passed out with her head on the counter after she had lucky charms and Breckan passed out on the couch with me while we watched a movie.

Saturday was full of relaxing, Breckan had a birthday party to go to, and Taylin and I went for a walk during the nice fall day. My best friend Ashley visited along with my other good friend Linsey. After the Huskers won, a person I have been talking to for quite a while journeyed to Friend (where I was babysitting) from Crete and hung out with me and the kids all night. His name is Trevor! He's a looker ;) He was great and adorable with the kids. We played kickball. My friend Linsey was the ref and the teams were Breckan and me verse Trevor and Taylin. I am proud to say Breckan and I won! 

This all follows to the big event of my weekend. I do not want to say that I was not watching Taylin but Trevor had to of pulled her aside for a bit that night because later on was quite a surprise. Trevor told me to sit down and waved Taylin off to get something. She came back with this: 

Yes of course :)

So basically in a nut shell, my weekend was pretty great. When Sunday came around and the parents got home I went home and talked to the fam bam. After a while, I traveled back to Doane and did some homework and then went to bed. So that was my eventful weekend!
