My Second Job!

Yes, some weeks I have two jobs! I met this family through my other job and they asked me to start watching their little girl for them at nights when they work. I was worried because I am with Kids all day, and I thought it would be too much to get done with 8 hours with 4 year olds and then Nanny for 6 hours at night. But....this girl and family are so great and have truly been a blessing in my life! I am so grateful when things are bad to take a minute and look at the things in my life that have really helped me get through some rough times. I am grateful for this beautiful girl and her wonderful parents.

I Bake????

Why yes, I do bake. I have really been trying to cook lately for Lamar and my family to get some good ideas when we one day have our own house. Lamar wanted a homemade chicken pot pie so I busted out some long lost skills and POW!! Everyone said it was wonderful!! So far, I can make Taco Soup, Beef and Potatoes, Chicken Enchiladas, Twice baked potatoes, Chicken and Shrimp Stir Fry, and the best darn BBQ Chicken! More to come, I didn't take pictures of the other stuff but I will remember to do that next time. Have a great night everyone! :)

I'm Back!!!!

Hello Everyone!
I know it has been a really really long time since I have been on here. I have been busy with work, holidays and being sick. I just wanted to say I'm here and everything is going pretty good for Lamar and I. Lamar is really enjoying his photo classes in school and he is doing an awesome job. I just added his blog on here so check out some of his pics! I only have about 4 1/2 months left for this year for work and I can't believe how fast it has gone. I am grateful that I still have my job and that we are able to continue to live with in my parents basement so Lamar can go to School full-time and get some of that out of the way this year. I promise I will try and update this thing a lot more until then here are some pics! :)

Oh Dear Frederick!

I had a GREAT holiday vacation!! I had so much fun that I made no time to post anything. So to make up for it I am posting my favorite part of my favorite movie to sum up all my emotions! (hehe) ENJOY!

Happy Thanksgiving!

From My Little Pilgrims!



This is a picture of my class eating their "Pilgrim Feast."

On that note, I wanted to say I am Thankful for my job and even though I complain I am so glad I get to see and be around these cute kids everyday. I am Thankful for my family and friends who have been there for Lamar and I and supported us through many things. During times like these it is so nice to have people around you who are truly there through thick and thin! I am Thankful for my health and glad I have my husband there next to me every morning when I wake up. I hope everyone has a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Twilight Premiere!!

So, Thursday around 11:40pm, Lamar picked me up from work. We headed to the Twilight premiere. He was driving really fast cause he didn't want us to be late. (I know how sweet)...not! All of a sudden I see flashing lights!! A cop totally pulled us over!! I was about to cry cause Christmas is coming and on top of that stress we were going to have to pay for a ticket. Well, the cop asked Lamar why he was in such a hurry and I quickly said..(more like yelled)..."We are going to the Twilight Premiere!" The cop looked in at me and said, "oh really where?" I told him the district and he took Lamar's license and then when he came back he said, "Okay Lamar will you drive slow even though you are late"?" HE LET US GO ON A WARNING!! I then thought to myself I know he has a wife or girlfriend who reads the books and maybe doing the same thing as us!! HAHAHA I was so happy Twilight saved the day. We finally made it to the movie! My sisters and mom were anxiously waiting for us. (LOVE YOU GUYS!!)Oh and my sister has all the rest of the pictures, so if you want to see them check out her blog. I was a little nervous and skeptical about the special effects and stuff but towards the middle and end Edward..who I was not sure about WON ME OVER!!! Yes I said it...he won me over! The Prom scene was my favorite!! And more... It was a good night and I am glad Lamar and I were able to go!! Bring on New Moon...Enough said...

Pumpkin Carving fun and a few party pics!~~

Lamar and I are trying to make a tradition to carve pumpkins every year the night before Halloween. My sister, Hayley decided to come and join us and they both did a fantastic job on their pumpkins! (Lamar calls them punkins) Halloween night was a lot of fun!! My sister had a party at her house with all my siblings and nieces and nephews. I am only posting a few pictures cause I didn't have my camera and I stole two from my sister. I know she is going to post all about the party so I will let her show the rest! Hope everyone had a fantastic Halloween!
