oh, just some pictures

So I have a ton of pictures on my NEW laptop that sam got me for my birthday and I decided to share a few...most of them are courtesy of andrea and brad. so, thanks dudes. and they are all out of order so just bear with me. is it bear or bare? i don't know, but you get what i mean.

I don't mean to be vain, but I like this pic cuz it makes me look skinny, which I'm not.

And this one shows my pretty head band AND flowers, so I like it too

haha, this one makes me chuckle, sam was concerned about the camera and I just wanted a kiss!

Are you lonesome tonight?

...or today? Cuz I AM!!
My mom came a week ago and stayed til thursday and we had SOOOOO much fun! We ate lots of good food and played LOTS of Scattergories (thats sam's new favorite game) and laughed a whole bunch. She flew back to utah on thursday morning. :( sad day. Sam also left thursday morning to go to Tucson to work til Sunday. So I went from being with 2 people everyday for almost a week straight to NOTHING! I'm so lonely! Oh well, I've stayed pretty busy and I watched the first session of conference today, SOO good, and now I'm gonna run some errands and then watch the second session! And I need to finish the laundry so today should go by pretty quick!
Well, thats the only news in my life...and i don't think it can even be considered news! Oh wait, the other day I beat Tetris on my phone.. Sounds insignificant, but let me tell you, ITS NOT! I've tried for months to beat that dang game...and I finally did! Now Sam can no longer make fun of me for sucking at Tetris cuz I beat it in under and hour, and it took him almost 2 hours! EAT THAT SAM! :)
Anyway, thats all for now. I'm a tad boring. Oh well. Goodbye.

My Mother

will be here in a little over dos hours and I'm very excited to see her! Yayness!

can i just say...

...how much i totally love ALL of my in-laws?!! Everyone is Sam's family (but us and his dad) went to california this weekend cuz his sister Ana's mother in law passed away, so they all went over for the funeral and stuff and so none of them were here yesterday for my birthday. But they just called and wished me a happy late birthday and told me they loved me and that they are glad I'm a part of the family! That was so sweet! I was always so worried that they wouldn't accept me and love me when me and Sam were talking about getting married and while we were engaged...and it took a little while for them to really get used to me I think. But now they are so great and I love them all! His mom randomly calls me just to make sure I'm okay, she's so great. I just love his family....well, they are my family too now! So my husbands family is amazing and my own family is amazing.
I'm lucky.

EASTER PAGEANT

THURSDAY NIGHT WE WENT TO THE EASTER PAGEANT THAT IS PUT ON EVERY YEAR ON THE TEMPLE GROUNDS. ITS A NON-PROFIT THING SO IT IS TOTALLY FREE TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO GO AND IT IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AMAZING!! IT COVERED THE ENTIRE LIFE OF CHRIST IN AN HOUR AND WOW...WOW IS ALL I CAN SAY. THE MUSIC AND DANCING AND STORY WAS SO GREAT! WE REALLY ENJOYED IT AND ARE PROBABLY GOING BACK TO SEE IT AGAIN TONIGHT! ITS OUTSIDE AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF CHAIRS SET UP AND PEOPLE ALSO BRING BLANKETS AND LAWN CHAIRS AND SIT ON THE HILL SURROUNDING THE STAGE AND ATE THEIR DINNER :) IT WAS REALLY COOL AND I'M SO GLAD WE WENT!

I took this picture, and asked Sam to take another one so it wouldn't be such a close up, cuz he has longer arms, ya know...

...and this is what we got.. He was covering the flash with his finger so I was tellin him to move it, but HE was ready for the picture so he went ahead and took it...

The lady next to us saw us struggling I guess cause she offered to take one for us...and so we got a good one! Its a really good one of Sam, look how cute he is!

Sleepover

Last friday night 3 of our nieces came over and slept at our apartment! We ordered pizza and while we waited Sam and the girls colored! Then we ate our pizza, and made cupcakes! And while they were baking we made a big bed from blankets on the floor, changed into our pj's (Seti and Mele wore one of my tshirts cuz they didn't bring pajamas!) and started watched Bee Movie! Mele, the youngest was out the second she hit her pillow, but Ofa and Seti watched the whole movie, but fell asleep during the credits! They are such cute little girls and we had so much fun! Saturday morning I made some german pancakes and they devoured those! Mele ate 3, all by herself.. :) Then I fixed their hair cute and we took them back to their parents! It was a busy very entertaining night and morning :) Here are a few pics...
