Happy Birthday Derik!

We had a BBQ with Lamar's family for Derik's (Lamar's Brother) birthday and it was great. We have not seen Lamar's parents in awhile so it was good for all of us to get together and be with each other for a bit. Lamar's family is awesome and I really enjoy spending time with them. His parents are so sweet and kind! They are always so encouraging and supportive of Lamar and I. It was so nice to be able to be around them today. Here are some pictures of our fun filled evening.

I am Grateful for...

It seems like I only write stuff on here on Wednesday! Right now I am really hot in my house because all we have is a swamp cooler upstairs and I am sweating my brains out! So...On this Wednesday I am grateful for The family I nanny for. I have been out off work as you all know and it has been kind of stressful for Lamar and I with money. (what's new) This family has needed me for some extra help this summer and it has helped us with money a little. Their little girl is so well-behaved and she is so easy and it is really an easy job to do. I love it and they are one of the kindest people I know.

This Wednesday, I am grateful for...

I am going to do this a little differently. I realized when I was watching an old romantic movie the other day how much I love them. So, I decided I am grateful for romantic movies and I am going to post 5 of my favorite ones or scenes from these movies. As a woman sometimes its nice to forget our worries and get caught up or lost in these little movies. Now I know your husbands/boyfriends (whatever) try to make things romantic at times, but sometimes they don't get it. Right? So take a minute, watch these videos and enjoy!!!! P.S. you are welcome to vote which video is your favorite!

#1 Pride and Prejudice (my favorite part)


#2 Bridgette Jones Diary ("just as you are")


#3 Love Actually

My 3 year old class

My silly 4 year old class!


It has now been one week since I have been off work. I am getting really bored. I'm not going to lie, I really needed a break, but I miss seeing those sweet faces everyday. They always said the funniest things! This break probably would not be so bad if I was in Hawaii with my main squeeze, but we are not there so it is getting kinda boring! I do have a lot of cleaning to do and Rufus needs some play time at the park so I am going to try that and see how it goes. I really had some great classes last year, I can only hope I get some sweet little kids this year as well. Wish me luck...hopefully I will have a not so boring week this time. We will see...dun dun dun

Ok...Last time....Promise

This is the OFFICIAL TRAILER of my favorite movie! Here we go! GO WILDCATS!! (hehe)

Here it is...well almost!

This is a extended preview of HSM3 and I am so excited!! Love every minute of it!

Grateful Wednesday...(its about time)

Yes, I know it has been a long time. But, I have told you all before I am new to this whole blogging thing and I am still getting the hang of it. Anyway, I have been getting down about a lot of things and I am really in need of a grateful day. So...with that said, here I am. It really makes things get a little easier when you think of all the good in your life. Here are the things I am grateful for today:

#1 {4th of July}

The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays! I look forward to it every year. I am not sure why I like it so much. I love it because I get to spend the whole day off with my husband and my family. Lamar and I have tried to start a tradition by doing our own little firework show the night before. Lamar and my brother David help put the show together and it always so much fun. After that its always nice to watch a movie and not worry about getting up in the morning. Lamar and I usually like to go early over to Sandy and look at the booths and then set up our little area for the rest of my family to come. Then after food and music comes the firework show in Sandy. I love it every year. So I am grateful for this day to spend with my husband and family.




#2 {VACATION}
I am currently not working for the month of July because my job is only a 10 month school year. So, even though I need the money it has been nice to have a little break to spend time cleaning and with my puppy. I am getting a little bored, but I have made it my goal to get more organized, so I am hoping with this break I will be able to do that.

#3 Great Music!!
Angels and Airwaves is my favorite band in the whole world. I have met each one of them with my husband. We love this band and I have seen them live twice now. My husband went to warp tour with my brother and they got to meet them again and he had my favorite guitarist Dave from the band sign their cd for me and he said, SAMANTHA WISH YOU WERE HERE!...I FREAKIN LOVE IT!! These are two of my favorite songs they sing. GIVE THEM A LISTEN.. Even if you are not into that kind of music you just might be after you listen to these songs. Secret Crowds is more upbeat and Breathe is more calm so there ya go. I could listen to them all day. If you don't know who they are, Tom Delonge from Blink 182 is the main singer of Angels and Airwaves and kicks butt!! He really is trying to do something positive with his music and thats why he started this band and they freakin rock! If you want to watch video copy and paste one of these codes and go the site.

#4 {My Brother}



These pictures were takin when David and Lamar went to Warp tour together. I am grateful that they were able to go to this concert with each other. They both had such a great time. But, what I am really grateful for is that David got their safe. A few hours before this picture was taken David got in a little fender bender. It was not too bad. He rear ended another car, but I am just so glad he was not on the freeway and that he was safe and not hurt. So...for that I am grateful for him.

#5 {Fans}


Without you dear fan I do not know how my husband and I would sleep at night. So, thank you fan...I am so grateful for you!

Also...Happy Birthday Rufus!

Rufus was born July 7, 2006. He is now 2 years old. It has been an interesting two years with this little guy, but we really love him and enjoy having him around. Although he is very hyper and does some things that don't make his mom very happy I am still happy that I bought him and have him in my life. We love you Rufus! Happy Birthday yesterday. (oh we bought him a new chew toy and some doggy treats!! In case you were wondering!)

SNEAK PEEK SUNDAY NIGHT!!

They are done filming. So...this Sunday they are giving a sneak peek preview of the movie! I am so excited. It looks so good!

I am BACK!!!

Hey Everyone! I am so sorry it has taken me this long to make a new post but I have been a little busy. First of all it was the end of the school year and I had a lot of things to get done. Then right after I got out of school I was heading up to girls camp. I had so much fun at girls camp and I am so excited that I was able to go. It was a long four days but I really enjoyed myself. To start off, I decided I was going to hike up with the 1st and 2nd year girls. (can I say what was I thinking!!!) After the hike we set up and it was on from there. It was kind of like a "leader party" because we had so many leaders up there. But I loved every minute of it. The girls in my ward are so sweet and I got to know them on a whole other level. I am grateful I had the opportunity to go and make new friends. Here are some pictures. Enjoy!
