Spring Break // 2015 - Pt. 1

well, Hello!

so, this spring break

Kelsey, Natalie, Valerie and I

road-tripped down to Georgia to visit

my sister Hannah (who  was on her spring break too!)

packing...

yes........ I kinda brought alotta sweets! what's a roadtrip
without?!!

 ya... I did pack school... just because!
(and i never ended up doing it!)

day 1...

 this picture does no justice to the

beautiful sunrise we got to drive through!!

 me and Kelsey (and Natalie's peaking out back there!)

'

 of course we took a Starbucks stop!

and i just HAD to get a caramel frappe!!

 Valerie and Natalie, the crazy back-seaters!!

 ah... the feeling when you drive through the mountains!

i just really love mountains ☺

 later in the trip, i treated Natalie, Valerie and myself to

a chocolate frosty from Wendy's! 

when we got closer to her house there were these fully

bloomed, gorgeous trees!!

 for dinner Hannah took us to a pizza place. it was SO, so

delicious! we had a mushroom, spinach, Italian sausage, mozzarella pizza!

 than, to add more sugar to our day, we

went to a cute little ice cream shoppe and i got

coffee, Oreo ice cream... mmm... must i even mention 

how good it was?!!

day 2...

on our way to Atlanta to pick up Grant from

the station!

 look how adorable this little lady is!!

 city of Atlanta

 we stopped at Varsity for lunch on our way out of  Atlanta.

i got a hot-dog and onion rings!

 and when Starbucks has a happy hour for frappuccinos, sign me up!

and.... you can probably guess what i got!

 that evening, me and valerie went out in

Hannah's backyard, sat on a blanket up on the hill

and drew for a while! watching the sunset & the moonrise...

such a beautiful sky our creator has made!

 my little artist friend!!

 her little beanie ♥

thats all for this post! more will be up soon (i hope!)

Have A Whimsical Day,

Kemerly Easter - 2015

Hi!

So, how was your Easter Sunday?

mine was wonderful!

we had resurrection roll breakfast

 church service & than

as is tradition, Easter lunch with Grammy and Bubba :)

an Easter egg hunt, some photo taking time

and than a game of baseball!

and this year, i did try and take more
Easter photos than usual! 

Making resurrection rolls for Easter breakfast...

we've done it for many years!

Valerie, Faith and I

Easter lunch... always hits the spot!

the boys can usually be found

playing outside with sticks!

I must admit, I have some pretty handsome

 brothers with a good sense of style!

and a great sense of humor too!

annnd... Paul and Isaiah were officially 

tired of getting pictures!

the pretty little lady herself!

and this pretty girlfriend too :)

my ole' Essie Bessie!

all the eggs i collected!

and the candy from within them!

and than, it was time for baseball!

Team #1: Kate (team captain), Natalie, Valerie, Paul & I

Team #2: Emily (team captain), Mary, Esther, Isaiah & James...

my team did end up winning... tho it was a very close game!

so, that was what I did this Easter!

Have A Whimsical Day...

so... I've been taking bunches
of photos this spring and wanted
to post them... now
some of the trips and events
don't have THAT many photos so
i'm just adding them
into my big spring post(s)...

hope you enjoy them all! it was
so much fun snapping all these pictures ☺

caramel frappe i drew early this spring!

 whenever i have sherbet, she always wants to
have her "own bowl"... she's a big girl
now! and wants us to know it =D

 odd fact: sherbet was invented in the
early 1950's!!

 beautiful blooms,

 babysitting some of my favorite kids and having a picnic 
on the floor cause the bee's were to bad outside!!

 watching the rainstorm...

 some story time before bed!

 all the pretty skies that come with spring...

 planted some green beans, cantaloupe and grapes!
we'll see if i'm a successful gardener!

 Park night with the 5 little's...

climbing the slide all at
once doesn't work oust to well!

static from the slide... always annoying!

 picnic's outside with these ladies!!

annnd.. that was part 1 for ya!

thanks for reading.

Have A Whimsical Day!!!
