{2011}

New years eve was super low key this year...but it was perfect!
Matt, Trents roommate, invited us to his parents house up in Draper for new years eve. It was just a small group of us, but we enjoyed playing rockband, pool, a type of pool game called crud, and watching the ball drop! and i was brave enough to take my camera...so here are a few pictures!

the ONLY picture we took of us...i know i know. it's not the best. but we're working on it!

{us on new years 2010}

trent isn't a fan of having his picture taken...so this is what i snapped on the drive up to draper! (isn't he cute??)

round 2...

ok ok....so i'm home with no school or work and an awesome cold. I've done all my laundry, unpacking, dishes, etc. so i decided to snap a few pictures...and try posting just a few at a time....

so i decided to write about one of my favorite things. SCENTSY WARMERS! i seriously love these things so much! i have a plug in warmer for my room...and for christmas i got a larger warmer for the kitchen. it's adorable! so naturally, i pulled out the new camera (pictures of THAT to come) and snapped a few photos of the new warmer.

currently warming "welcome home"

looks good in the kitchen

LOVE it!

blogging

can i just say how frustrated i get with this blogging thing?! i must be doing something wrong...i just can't figure this out. I had a whole big post of pictures and words in all the right places...looking the way i want it to..and after an hour of getting all that on here...bam. it's gone. so no christmas post today...i'll try again tomorrow. i need some serious help here...i don't know how people can post stuff every.day.
goal for 2011??

SAM

this is sam....



don't you just LOVE that face??

sam was definitely the wild child of the group. he hardly ever went to class, except for kitchen. he was in every rotation so he could get a "yummy yummy"...little stink. sam was always causing trouble. it was our head teachers full time job to watch him while we taught. however, he was one of the smartest kids in our class. he knew english really well and could communicate with you (only when he wanted to) sam comes from a weathly family who spoils him rotten. (his parents even spoiled us one night to a free dinner...we just happened to be in the same restaurant as them!) we could tell from day one that sam was special and would need more attention from us than any other student. he drove us all crazy sometimes, but you just can't help but fall in love with this kid. love him

i know i've been falling behind in the blogging world. so here is a little game i like to call catch up......

so i'm finally all moved into my apartment back in ventana and i absolutely love it! i'm back with bri ( my roommate from last year), a girl that bri knows from their UVU dance team, and sydney from cali. we got our apartment decorated pretty quick and it looks awesome. everytime people come over we always get the compliment on how "homey" our apartment is. so here's a few pictures of what we did....

my project over labor day was to cover up my old ikea pillows! thanks to mom and candice for helping out on this project.

love em!

our couches are hideous. plain and simple. so we decided to cover them up this year

2 fitted king size sheets = the whole middle section of the couch

1 queen sheet = cut into 1/4 for the arms of the two couches

and wa-lah! new, beautiful, cleanable, couches!

we wanted to try something different in our apt, so we covered 2 of the smaller walls with wrapping paper. it looks pretty legit! we love our place!

i still plan on doing a post for each one of my kids...they won't be all at the same time. most likely they'll just be a random post. i miss them like crazy...i wish i could have brought them all home with me!

be patient (to the 3 that read this blog) i'm still working on learning how to blog....more to come!
