I'm an Aunt! :)

 Well, I'm sure this will not come as a surprise to any of you... if you know me at all. This post is going to be all about babies! :) I nanny 2 days a week for my old cheer coach who has a 5 year old girl, 3 year old boy and 4 month old twin boys. As you can imagine, I love every second of it. I've been doing it ever since the babies were born. One day I walked in to see them both sleeping in the exact same position. It made me laugh. I got to be with them on Valentine's Day and they looked so cute!


We still babysit the Hess' a lot. We babysat them for a whole week the beginning of February. The kids sure do love Brad, and love for him to spin them. Ruby is a 'daddy's' girl and Lucy's a 'mommy's' girl.



I made some cute little leg-warmers so I decided to have a little photo session with the girls.


And last, but certainly not least.... I'M AN AUNT!!! I've been waiting for this day for a long time now and the day finally came early in the morning on February 11th. Poor Katie was in labor for about 17 hours. He weighed 7 lbs 15 ounces and was 20 inches long. I was sad that we could not be there the day he was born since we were babysitting the Hess', but we headed down the day after. He is just the cutest little thing ever. They named him Braxten Taylor Wheelwright.

So fun! I love all the pictures. I so wish you lived closer so that you could be our nanny!! It is so great being an aunt when you don't have kids yet. Now that I have kids, it isn't quite the same. :o)

those leg warmers are so adorable!

Yeah for you finally doing a post!! Yeah for you being an aunt. You'll be sooo good at it, no surprise. I didn't know you were still babysitting for your cheer coach. Those little twins are soo darling. As are those leg warmers!! I wish Lydia would keep those things on and I would totally buy some from you, but she just strips down all the time, it would be a waste of your beautiful work.

So sweet! I think it's great that you love babies so much. Your knitting skilz just get better and better.

What a happy day for you!! Those leg warmers are darling. The picture of Brad with all the kids on him looks funny... it looks like Brad doesn't have a body or that he's falling to the ground. I don't know, I feel like his legs should be showing.

This post is so fun. I loved seeing all the cute pictures of the kids you love. Leilani was telling me yesterday that she doesn't know what she's going to do w/o you this summer. . . I'm sure the Hess's think the same thing. You're such a natural baby mama!
