Oh how I love roommates......

Well, school started today....and I don't even know where to start with this post. I guess from the beginning. I finished work yesterday at about four and headed down to Orem excited to finally organize all my stuff and find all my belongings I hadn't seen in a while.

When I arrived at my apartment there was one roommate home she introduced herself and we went our separate ways. The first impression was good. No red flags. I though even though the apartment was filthy all I would need is some Clorox and a rag and it would be good to go before I leave town on Friday afternoon.....

Well things quickly changed my mind. An hour later I had girls that had never even said hi to me going through my DVD and who knows what else come to find out one of them is my room roommate and who knows who the others were....soon music was blasting along with every swear word in the book from the music and every one of the 50 girls in our kitchens mouths. I went and sat in my friend across the hall (Brittany) room and we both just looked at each other and said "is this how it always is" one by one each one of the 50 girls came to see who was moving in and a few told us there names and back into the party they went. After about an hour and a half we were both ready to go home but just decided to go have some dinner and go back, finish unpacking, go to bed and hope everything was just a night before school party. Well....when I was getting ready for bed everyone in Orem that has tattoo and or piercings was in my kitchen (not to be judgemental or anything but there were some pretty creepy looking people there) You know it is a bad sign when you are worried about going to sleep.

To shorten the story....my mom showed up today...We went to share with the office my night last nights events and an hour and twenty minutes later all my stuff was out of that apartment and into a new one...and LIFE IS GOOD. The roommates I have met so far are so cute and I'm so excited to get to know them better....College life is good as of 2:30 today!

Thanks mom and dad for everything you do for me! I love you much and couldn't have done this all without you!!!

Summer is over...

Most my stuff is already in my apartment and the rest is loaded in my car. I will be cleaning my apartment tonight and unpacking then off to school in the morning.....here we go with another year of adventures! Haven't met any roommates yet (besides the girl I roomed with last year).Cross your fingers! I'll keep you updated...

BYU Education Week.....

This week for sure was not boring....

It was education week at BYU this week and although I didn't go I participated (in a way). Every year Isaak and Ben's aunts and grandma go to education week and I babysit the kids for 12 hours a day 3 of the days that week.... This is a big event for the Reynold's girls! Lisa and her girls come from New Jersey along with Emily and Ashley comes up from where she is living...last year Idaho this year Cedar and they all go together....

This year was different than years in the past though because on top of Alexa, Kira, Eliza, and Dallas there was Isaak and Ben because I am their nanny....This resulted in a crazy, fun week. I would head over to The Reynold's house at 6:45 AM and watch the girls and Dallas until 8:30 when it was time to head to Isaak and Ben's, Alexa and Kira would join me and Sarah watched the "babies".

I think the boys and I went on more field trips this week than we have all summer! We started out our fun week with the girls going to a gymnastics "day camp" the kids went to a near by gym and played from 9-12 and I did my own thing then we finished off the day going to Willow Creek Country Club and going swimming and having lunch there...always a fun outing! I love the pool! I guess I was having so much fun I forgot to take pictures...OOPS....maybe when I have kids of my own I'll be better at it :)

Wednesday was our break day....


Then back at it on Thursday! We started out with a trip to the Children's Museum at the Gateway.....






Then a quick cool down at the gateway fountains after the museum....






And today we went to the Aquarium and to lunch....


I don't have any pictures from lunch but here is a story....
So the kids got balloons on our way out to the car and they were all so excited. (FREE balloons?! Nothing better than that!! or at least they thought so!) On the way home Alexa thought of an "AMAZING" idea, she was going to write a note to Taylor Swift telling her how excited she was for her concert in NY next week and how much she loves her, tape it to the balloon, and send it off through the air to Taylor (hoping it would get there)! What a great idea right?! So she wrote the note, taped it on, and outside we went to send it off.....well it didn't make it too far just right up into the trees....but her Uncle Steve said he would take care of it no worries....so Taylor....look out for it!! It is coming your way!!!

I love the fun ideas kids think of and how much faith they have in the impossible...

What a fun week.....I can't believe another education week has come and gone!! Thanks for playing with us girls!! The boys always enjoy having friends over especially their cousins!! See you at Christmas Girls!!

Lunch conversation...

so the other day one of the boys cute friends came over and played all afternoon. At lunch they were talking about Ben and Hannah's (the friend)ages and the conversation went like this:
Hannah: Ben I know you are 5 and I am 5 too but am I older or are you?
Ben: Well I'm 5 and a half
Hannah: I don't know how many halves I am so how about we do it in money how many quarters are you? I'm 5 and 3 quarters
Ben turned and looked at Isaak and said: I don't know how many quarters just one half

Trip to the zoo...

a couple weeks back Isaak had scout camp so me and Ben had some one on one time and one day we went to the zoo...although he didn't last long it was a lot of fun here are a few pictures we took....











He insisted I took a picture of him sitting on the spider.

Favorite conversation of the day...

Today I only had Ben because Isaak was with his grandpa. So the two of us went to the pool and while we were in the car driving there we had this conversation...
Ben Yawned
Megan: "Are you tired"
Ben: "Why would I be tired?"
Megan: "Oh well you just yawned so I thought you might be.."
Ben: "Just because I yawned doesn't mean I'm tired most people yawn to find joy...Yawning brings me joy, Megan. It makes me feel better and when I feel better I have joy"


I guess I learned something new today. People yawn to get joy...What a cute kid...I'm going to miss him when summer is over :(

Life as a Nanny....

These picture are from last week but I took the boys to the children's musuem last week. It was lots of fun. Here are some pictures....some are better than others but they are boys and they don't always allow me to take pictures so i have to do it when they aren't paying attention :)
