Before getting married and moving to Logan I worked as a nanny for just under two years. The family was great, they have 7 boys. That's right, I said seven; Brian, Blake, Adam, Clark, Joel, Spencer, and David. Each day was different and fun. I learned so many things while working there that prepared me for marriage and eventually my own kids. I spent most of my time with with younger boys since they weren't in school and formed a special bond with them. I have so many memories from them that I will always cherish. I feel like I have 7 younger brothers. I miss seeing them everyday and feeling so loved by everyone.
This is Spencer, when I first started he would cry everytime I walked into the room, but I soon won him over and before long he was calling me "E" but soon he got my name down.
Brian, the oldest. He is one of the most amazing young men I have ever met. He is so mature and smart. He was so fun to be around and very helpful. I wish I could be there to see him going on his first date.
Adam and Clark, the elementary aged boys. They were so fun. Adam is so smart and stubborn-we had some disagreements but I still love him. Clark is adventerous and very thoughtful.
Joel. Oh Joel, from potty training to preschool his was one fiesty little guy. He is in kindergarten now and plays soccer. I can't believe how big he is now.
Just before Christmas Brian and I went to the Bahamas with his family. It was a welcomed break from the cold weather and snow. We passed the time going to a water park, site seeing, snorkeling, and swimming with dolphins.
We hiked up to a place called Queen's Staircase. It was really pretty and we got to go up a huge flight of stairs next to a waterfall. Then at the top of the stairs there was a Fort that was used to protect the seaport. There one of the locals talked us into a tour of the city, we loaded up into his van and he gave us a tour while wearing a king's crown. He made sure to point out all of the historical buildings and all of the 5 star restaurants in the area. 
There was an Aquarium at the resort where we stayed, this is a picture of the biggest Manta Ray we have ever seen(this picture doesn't do it justice)
We also went and visited a Pirate Museum. We're looking sad because of the marooned pirate. The best part about this adventure happened as we were looking at the lower level of the exhibit when the lights and sounds suddenly turned off. Brian's dad led us back to the light with the flash on his camera, but when we got back to the door we entered in it was locked. His little brother lost it and burst into tears thinking we'd be locked inside forever. Luckily for us one of the workers had stuck around for a bit and was able to let us out. As he let us out he informed us that the museum was closed for the day, we left feeling a bit embarrassed.
These are some sharks just chilling taking a nap in one of the tanks that the water park had. Brian and I spent the day at the water park with his little brother and sister. I am proud to say that I went down all the "scariest" slides, mostly to prove to his 9 year old brother that I wasn't a wuss. We had a good time and got a good work out going up all the stairs to get the top of the slides.
This is the view from our hotel room. It was such a beautiful place it made coming back to all this snow very hard.
