A Little Bit of Honesty and Complaining....

I try to keep this blog upbeat and about all the fun stuff in my life but can I just say sometimes life sucks- All I've ever wanted in life is to be a Wife and Mom.... It feels like that is never going to happen for me and I am getting frustrated, especially since it's out of my hands.

Just Some Pics.....

Don't worry, I'll keep this post short......

Emma got invited to 2 birthday parties (one was a party for some twins) I made these for her to take..... We made some for ourselves. Turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself. :)

Cupcakes for Talon's Blessing tomorrow. Also made some Monster Cupcakes for Hannah's Birthday (a neighbor who I love like my family)

Bath Cookies for a birthday gift...... I'm still experimenting with the recipe.

A Hairbow holder I made, I LOVE this one. I hope the person who bought it loves it too!!

Playing Wii with the Cheney's (Casey not pictured because she was doing homework. We all chanted her name, then yelled it really loud, she didn't hear us. Sad she didn't get to play with us but glad she was working on homework)

Playing House

Max and I started a cute post on Tuesday, but the pictures wouldn't work and I am just going to wait until I get them to upload. So I did this last year and luckily got to do so again, I'm watching those Cheney kids again!! Josh and Amy are in Hawaii and we are kicking it up in Kaysville!! (I'm home now so from this point the post will be in past tense.)
Josh and Amy left Sunday morning, we took some pictures then went off to church. When we got back they were gone. Amy had left each child a card and a treat. When I am a mom I want to leave notes like this family. They leave notes in lunchboxes, taped to mirrors and doors, pretty much everywhere. Emma had a huge stash of notes that she had saved, so sweet. Anyways, back to my post. They went to their Grandma's for Sunday dinner then back home late so I got them ready for bed.
Monday - Casey is in 7th grade and pretty much gets herself ready, also she made sure Max had his cereal everymorning. I am so grateful for that, it meant I got to sleep in until 7:00. Sam would get his stuff done then dissapear downstairs to play Wii, then I would make sure Emma stuck to her schedule (I am pretty sure I will have a kid like her because I was like this, too busy talking to get stuff done) After they went to school I helped Max do his hair, folks he approved of the way I did a Mohawk this time around. I dropped him off at his cousins then off to school for me. Back home and made some German Pancakes for dinner, (Max ate his 3rd or 4th bowl of cereal) Then homework, soccer, jumping on the tramp and Wii Minigolf
Tuesday - Ater the morning routine of getting the kids off to school Max and I went to Fresh Market for some Root Beer and a grow your own monster. (the grow your own monster wasn't on the list but it was 25 cents and he said please.... ) Back home for the Floats, u probably saw the pictures. Then we went to the library so Max could play Webkinz (the computer at home would freeze alot) I got to read a magazine. Then dropped him off at a friends so I could head to work. Tuesday night we got Big Daddy's pizza, (I'm pretty sure Max had cereal with his pizza) Then homework and Wii Minigolf.
Wednesday - Get kids to school, drop Max off at a friends, last day of morning class (gonna miss Mindy and crazy Jamie, work, Presentation in class (also last day of this class) then home. Homework, more Wii Minigolf and bed.
Thursday - Get kids to sleep, Max and I played and watched tv till the library opened. More Webkinz for him, Mary Higgins Clark for me. Then to Sugar Daisy Bakery for a DELICIOUS Peanut Butter Bar for me and a cookie the size of his head for Max. Then off to his friends and work for me. Home and made Spaghetti and breadsticks, (this was fun because Casey helped me and we had a fun time.) Max actually ate this instead of Cereal :)
Friday - Max had a friend over and I gave them leftover Spaghetti (his friend got noodles everywhere lol) Then they left for Kindergarten, I drove to Emma's friends then back home to write directions to the first of 2 parties for Friday night. Off to work. Race to their Cousin's to pick up Sam and his cousin Liam for Baseball practice. Race to Emma's first party to pick her and Sam's baseball stuff up. Drop off Sam and Liam for practice, drop off Emma at second party. Then go home to take a breather. phew. Casey leaves for her sleepover then Max and I go to pick up the boys from their soccer practice. To Chevron for gas and a redbox movie or 2. Emma slept at a friends so it was just me and the boys, they watched Astroboy and I read the rest of my book.
Saturday - Sam and Liam slept in while Max and I ate at 7 (Max needed his cereal) since I was up I made Max watch Princess and the frog with me, LOVED IT!! Then played around until Sam's game (HE KICKED BUTT!!) Then when me and the boys got home we had Casey come back from her sleepover and once Emma got home from her game (ALSO KICKED BUTT) we all loaded into the van for some YOGURT STOP!! The van didn't start... I felt so bad, I had one too many to fit in my car so we had to wait for Liam to go home (don't worry he didn't know about that part, that would have been sad.) We did make some delicious homemade pizza's with ham and pineapple. We also made Italian Cream Sodas. Me and Emma made 2 pizzas they were so good. Then once the dinner was eaten Liam got picked up and we headed off to Yogurt Stop. I love that place, YUM!! We were sure to leave some post it notes on the board, look for them. Then on the way home we dropped Casey off at her Cousin's, we made a quick stop after at the Noorlander Family. They loved it, the Noorlanders have a pond and a fire pole, a tramp and just the coolest yard ever. Max said he wanted to live there. After that we went home to have the kids tub so they would be ready for Church.
Sunday - Church then a movie and just laying around resting after church. To their other Grandparents for Sunday Dinner. Back home to get ready for their parents coming home the next morning. We painted pictures and our toes even Sam. We watched Up, CUTE movie.
Monday - Started the day at 5 AM with Sam throwing up, got that cleaned up then went back to bed. Woke up 2 hours later and did NOT feel well, but got the girls off to bed and Max's hair and bed made. Then rested until Amy and Josh got back. Didn't go to work and now I'm feeling like I might make it tomorrow.
This post is super long and I'm sorry, but it was such a fun time and I loved all the fun stuff we did and also learning how to schedule and get things done with almost no time. lol LOVED IT!! I will do another post soon about each kid and how great they are, seriously these kids were so good for me.

Root Beer Funny Faces!!






After we got all the older kids to school, Max and I had Root Beer Floats. Max kept kicking the Root Beer on the way home from the store, I called him silly. Max wouldn't let me put the scooper back in the Ice Cream because there was still some on it, I did anyways. Then Max tried to steal my ice cream, but he is a nice boy so he didn't really take it. Here are some silly Root Beer Funny Faces, I think Max wins for the best funny face!!
Yeah, I let him lick the scoop, even though I wanted to. I'm so good at sharing, what can I say.
He didn't inform me we were doing silly faces, I thought we were smiling!!
This time I was aware that we were doing funny faces.
This post was written by Jacque and Max... Mostly Max!!

Dream Dog


I don't have a photo of the dog I'm watching (I posted one a long time ago but it was way easier to download one from the internet than find the other one) Anywho, I love this dog; Daisy, she is a Golden Doodle. She is a sweetheart and is so playful and calm and happy. One day I'm going to own a dog just like her, also I love how BIG she is, I love big dogs (would also love a Great Dane or Huskie). I should also mention the Future Mr. Jacque's Husband better love animals.

Need a new look...

I was thinking late last night (maybe the late hour was the problem) and it feels like the only type of guy that shows interest in me is the kind that has a few tattoos, not really living life the way they should, could be described as "shady" (I'm not really wording this right and hope I don't come off snobbish) But I'm wondering what that is all about, I mean am I putting out some sort of Rebel/Bad Girl vibe.... I never would have thought so, but maybe I need to change my look to attract some normal guys...... wear less pink and childish hair things (clearly the root of my rebel look)
