masonry only works if jquery is called twice

Question

So I noticed that I'm loading jQuery twice in my WordPress install and when I removed the CDN I added in my footer and just use the jQuery WordPress comes with my masonry stopped working and gave the error:

Uncaught TypeError: $(...).masonry is not a function.

so then I tried using wp_enqueue_script('masonry'); and wp_enqueue_script('jquery-masonry'); to load WordPress's version of masonry, it still didn't work and also the script file wasn't loaded either. I'm not sure whats going on any help would be great thanks!
