February!!

February is one of my favorite months! I love Valentine's day. Seeing the kids faces light up as they give Valentine's to their friends is priceless. We celebrated V day with a pajama party with pancakes. The kids loved it!!! Nothing else too exciting has been happening in my life. I have been baking a few yummy treats.

                                               Homemade chocolate chip cookies on a Saturday!!

                       Lemon Bars for the Super Bowl. The biggest lemons I have ever seen!!!!

                                                  Yummy sugar cookie from Aunt Nancy
One of my preschoolers gave me a plate of giant strawberries dipped in chocolate. They were delicious.

It is a four day weekend for me and I have three goals. Go see a movie at the theater....it might just be at Kaysville but its still a movie. Any new movies that you have seen that is should go to? Get my eyebrows waxed. My loving grandma and aunt have donated dollars to get them done....yes they are a little out of control but plucking them is not fun and this is so much easier. My other very important goal is sleep in. I am hoping to accomplish this last one because it is so nice to sleep in!!!
 I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!! Do something fun!
Always need a picture of Carter...this is from January I think. Sure do love this kid. He is almost 2!

Just for Jackie

Well I do have one picture but it is at temple square and it looks horrible!
My family seemed fine with JP. Grandma JoAnn thought he was so nice.
We haven't spoken in two weeks...he sent me a text and we chatted for a bit.
At first I was a little bummed that we weren't talking. We went from talking every day to not at all. But as time has gone by I have adjusted just fine and I am happy!
Enjoy your Wednesday!

Yes I am still alive

Sorry everyone....my home computer is broken and I cant blog on my phone.

Highlights of Christmas Break

Spending time with my family

Meeting Jean Paul

Getting to see Natatlie Brown who is far far away in Chicago

Sleeping in

Not having to lesson plan or worry about Preschool

Seeing the lights at Temple Square

                                                                Sure do love this boy!

                                                               He can be such a good kid

Nancy and I have been wanting to make cake pops for months. We finally made some....it definitely was trial and error. I am not good at dipping the balls into the coating. Here are a few pictures of the finished product. 

 I know you want more details about JP but I just dont know what to say. He arrived Christmas Eve and he was so quiet. Conversations were short and pointless. I would say something and he would respond with one word.....That is not helpful.

Tell me what you want to know?

 I have to get back to work...happy tuesday!!

I wore my shirt inside out for the first half an hour of my day....YES I am special!

He came, he left we are just friends

Well the title about sums up the week with Jean Paul!
Right after Thanksgiving I started second guessing the whole relationship. Jean Paul is a great man he is kind and nice and will make some girl very happy. That girl will not be me.
Most of the time he was here I was doing the talking. And I had run out of things to say. All of his answers were about one word, and yes that got annoying.
We spent many hours playing go fish....I can only play that so much.
I will give a better update later....just borrowing the library computer since our computer stopped working before Christmas.
Happy New Year!!

Family Pictures

                                                     My favorite picture minus Josh's face!

Thanks Andrea!

I just wanted to say this. This is my blog and the things I write are my opinions. I do not write things to offend others. I simply put how I am feeling at the moment. I am sorry if I have offended people that was not my intent. MERRY CHRISTMAS Everyone!!!

Alive

Yes I am still alive. Life has been crazy. We went 61 hours without power. I swear it took me hours to get warm again. Thankfully we have power again and we had a gas fireplace and lots of blankets.
Jean Paul comes in 18 days....I have a huge basket of emotions about this.
He arrives Christmas Eve and goes home the 30th so we have a few days to do many things. So many choices.
Just wanted to mention a few last things I am grateful for:
Amazing Leaders to promote a neighborhood cleanup after our huge storm,
good friends,
warm house,
microwave,
furnace,
hot showers,
cars with a working heater,
grandparents close by,
my family,
the Gospel
 and Jean Paul!!
Have a good week!!
