For my Pre-Schoolers!!

I have told you about my cute doggy and kitty and I would love to bring them in to show you, but Princess (the doggy) loves people so much that when she meets someone new she licks them and jumps and just gets too hyper!! And my kitty Gucci is scared of little kids so she would probably hide under Miss Jeri's desk or on the fridge. So I am going to write this so you can see them.

This is Gucci when she was a little baby.

She is this big now, and loves to sleep in the bathroom sink, play with the flower Abby and Isaac got me for Christmas and play with grocery bags. She cries if I take her outside, she HATES the snow.

This is Princess when she was a tiny puppy!! I bought her that pink, sparkly, diamond collar. She used to eat Barbie Clothes all the time, she LOVED them. She is my sister's dog, and to get Princess to sleep Carissa would wrap her up and read Disney Princes stories to her, like Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty.

Princess is so big now, she likes to be the mommy to Gucci. They love to play chase, and snuggle together. Princess doesn't eat Barbie's clothes anymore, Barbie had a talk with her and asked her stop it please. She broke her old collar so my Daddy bought her one with Princess Crowns on it.

My 22nd Birthday!!


Yep I am now 22, I don't feel like I am, I still feel like I am 19. My Birthday started off with breakfast with Devin, so we were off to Sill's. He also showed up with my Friends Scene It game and People crossword puzzle so that was great, I really missed that crossword puzzle. (Thanks Traci!!) After breakfast he gave me my present, a gift card for Paradise Tanning, and before you wonder if it's because he thinks I'm pale and white I should mention that I always complain that I am not tan enough. So he got it for me because he is very good at picking out gifts, or maybe because he wants to stop my complaining....... lol. After that it was off to work. I stopped at Target to get my Birthday treat for work. Good thing too because when Miss Jeri told the kids it was my Birthday, Will said, "Well Miss Jacque better remember her Birthday treat." I got some cupcakes, I really wanted a Princess Cake but it wouldn't have been big enough for all the kids in my class.

This is what one of them looked like, it's no Princess Cake but still cute!!
After work I did some crossword puzzles, sounds nerdy but I was excited!! When Ashley and Curtis showed up it was off to Chili's!! I got my usual Country Fried Steak and Michaela ordered her Chicken Crispers, I have to mention what she ordered because she gets it every time. She also ends up getting like 3 things of honey mustard, she is addicted. We wanted to get some for her on her last Birthday as a joke.

This is my Mom and Dad

After Chili's I opened my gifts which included, a cute shirt, argyle socks, a gift card for Shade, and the Taylor Swift cd!!

This is me with my CUTE Argyle Socks and Taylor Swift cd!!
Ashley, Rissa, Michaela and I then played Clue the card game, our family is addicted to Clue in any way shape or form. Then Devin came over (I should probably mention he tried to get my Birthday off of work but couldn't, and he works until 8 so that is why he wasn't at Chili's) and he and I watched The Office. It finally came back, and they probably decided to do it for my Birthday, a great present!! When that was over we had cake and ice cream (Sherbet for me) and then back downstairs for some Arrested Development.
Me and Devin watching some Arrested Development.
It was pretty much a perfect birthday. Thanks to everyone for wishing me a Happy Birthday, I really enjoyed hearing from you all!!

Oh Those Cute Kids!!

I'm babysitting my neighbors kids for the week, because get this..... they are in Hawaii!! We kind of had a rocky start Casey, their oldest girl, wasn't feeling great and when I asked her if it was the "I feel like I'm going to throw up sick" she said yes. I was hoping for a no, but luckily I have had practice cleaning up throw up and wasn't nervous or panicky. She felt better soon though and our day went back to normal. While the oldest three are in school I get to spend my mornings before work playing with the youngest, Max. He and I have been having the best time playing Wii, and he really taught me good sportsmanship. When we were playing golf he gave me a hug when I did a great job, and gave me little pointers. He also taught me how to play a new version of connect four (the point is to go red, black, red, black, and get a nice little pattern going.) Today I didn't get to see them as much as I would have liked, they had their grandparents come over while I was in class. But when I got home I had a little time to play and chat before Bedtime. Sam and I did homework together, he has great penmanship for his age and is getting to be such a great little reader. Emma got to text my sister (she used to babysit them when she was in High School). Emma loves to text and Ashley loves to chat with her so it works out :) Casey came home from YW and for their activity they learned emberassing stuff about the Bishopric, and I immediately knew what they told about my dad. How many Bishops do you know that have done time in Jail?? I will explain in my next post, because it is a great story and deserves it's own section. I will probably tell more about my adventures with these four amazing kids, but Max kept stealing my nose earlier so I need to go find out where he hid it........... :)
