23 & Biking

A few weeks ago, I had a birthday. Just another year older! 

My sister got me a birthday cake. It was so cute that I had to share! 

I bought a bike a few weeks ago. I like to go biking, but its been a few years since I've had a decent bike. Finally bought a nice one and couldn't wait to start using it! 

 Last week, I finally got to use it! My brother and I biked 7.35 miles around town, and I burned 592 calories! Yay for exercise! 

Eliza Lou turns 1!

Happy 1st birthday to this sweet girl! Can't believe she's already 1!

Valentine's Day/Gramp's Birthday

My Valentine's Day flowers from dad. This yearly tradition is pretty special! 

 Valentine's Day also happened to be my grandpa's birthday. That weekend, we surprised him with the whole family out to eat at the Somer's Inn. It was fun, but I didn't take a lot of pictures.

Here's the video that my sister took when they walked in the door:

The twins are 1!!

It's so hard to believe that the little twins turn 1 today! Their first year flew by! Here's a bunch of pictures from their first year of life, in no particular order!

 Miles likes to ride while Elliot likes to push!

Happy 1st birthday boys! Love you both so much!

Well, hello!

It's been awhile, but I am still alive! So to recap the past few weeks, I will share a few pictures, mostly from Instagram. They are in no particular order. (captions go with the picture below it)

This is a pretty common sight for me. There is always traffic coming through Hartford! It can make for a long drive to school.

Speaking of school, I was thankful to not be on campus this past Monday when they were on lockdown for 3 hours. Even more thankful that it turned out to be just a Halloween scare and not a real shooter situation! 

 Seth turned 18 back in September! Can't quite believe it!

This little friend of mine; always getting in the way when I'm trying to do schoolwork!

Just a little quote:

 Throwback to Grandpa Barton's funeral in 2009. Wow, we really have changed!

 The single sister's got together and everyone dressed country-ish and brought an appetizer. This was my appetizer and then a few more pictures from the night. 

Aunt Deb turned 50! So we had a little surprise party for her.

 My Sunday School class got together with the year ahead of us. It was fun:

 Part of just my class:

On Thursday's & Friday's, I started nannying for a little 8 week old baby from church. She is such a good baby and I'm loving spending time with her! Plus, I can still do schoolwork while watching her! Here she is, Miss Eliza Lou!

I got to have a lunch date with these two last week. We didn't tell big sis though, she would've been jealous!

 It's been cold enough that we have to run the pellet stove at home. Lily loves to sit on it now that its nice and warm!

So thankful that mom's surgery went well this past Tuesday and that she was able to come home the next day. She's doing good and hopefully will make a speedy recovery!

 Today is dad's birthday, so this went on Instagram this morning:
