The Perfect Man...

Today after work I decided that I would go and see TWILIGHT. I went by myself bad mistake cause I seriously needed someone to hold my hand every time this lovely "immortals" face came into view. It really got me thinking could there ever be anyone like Edward. Ok I don't mean like in the VAMPIRE sense. But really someone so caring, loving, and someone who sacrifices so much for the one that he loves. I have my doubts but if you don't let me know! I am really staring to give up on the "decent" guy. It is my belief that they only exist in the movies. P.S: This poster is in Italian. However who could ever deny the beauty of that FACE!!

Grateful Sunday # 7

Ok so this Grateful Sunday is going to be very very random! I hope that you are ready for this. This first thing that I am grateful for is that I finally got my computer to upload pictures. For some reason it wouldn't upload my pictures from the Carrie Underwood Concert so I skipped that post. Oh well it was a good time and she is AMAZING live! The second thing that I am grateful for is that my blog is now up-to-date! YAY. This may be the second blog of the day but at least I have added Disney on Ice, and I posted a grateful Sunday on a SUNDAY! The third thing that I am grateful for is... I HAVE A NEW SISTER! No no my mom did not have a baby (if she did then she would have some explaining to do)! What I mean is that JD and Rachael got married on Friday. The reception is not until December 19th. The ceremony was small and it was held at Bear Lake. If any of you are confused by this just don't be. I don't want to explain anything just know that if it could have been any other way it would have. And NO ONE did anything WRONG. I had a picture posted of Rachael but I somehow deleted it. I will post wedding pictures sometime this week. Back to Rachael she is a great girl and an AMAZING addition to this CRAZY family. Along with the pictures I will tell you all how they met! The last thing that I am grateful for is my BELLA!

This is a picture of her when she was a puppy. She is still a puppy however she doesn't look like it. Yesterday my mom went out there and we think she was having a seizure. It scared us all to do death! Bella is so fun. She knows my car and she won't leave my side if I let her out and I am out there. She always wants to be in your business cause she thinks that it is hers! It can really drive you crazy but she really is my best friend! She doesn't care what I look like or how I am. All she cares about is that I pet her everyday and feed. The sad thing about this is even if I don't (which I have never forgotten) she will still love me anyway. I guess I should get a picture of her now that she is bigger but she is real dirty! Maybe if I give her a bath I will get a picture! In case any of you are wondering NO I did not name her Bella because of the book Twilight! The story of her name is quite interesting maybe one day I will share!

Do You Believe in Magic...

Call me brave or call me crazy whatever suits best for you! Last week I took Ethan, Ashton, and Tylee (Ashtons friend and one of my students) to Disney on Ice. Jordynn was supposed to go with me but she couldn't so Dallas went with me instead. I don't think I could have handled it with out him. It was pretty fun the theme was "100 Years of Magic". There where a lot of characters there. To name a few there were Minnie and Mickey of course! Along with their normal crew (Donald, Daisy, Goofy...), Aladdin and his posse, Beauty and the Beast, Nemo and his friends, Mulan, ALL of the Disney Princesses, The Incredibles, Woody, Buzz, and Jesse, Pinocchio, Its a Small World, and the Lion King. I don't think I missed any but if I did I bet the pictures show it!

We got this picture taken before the show started! It was a pretty cute set up!

Grateful Sunday # 6

Again I am a day late but what are you going to do about it! I was thinking about what to write and this is what I decided on. I am grateful for Thanksgiving! As I have walked around in the mall and driven in my car I have noticed that Santa is there and that Christmas music is in the air. It truly makes my heart sad that we seem to just roll over this great holiday. I am grateful for the Pilgrims and the Indians. For one it gives me something to teach my pre-schoolers about but it also helped me to appreciate my own learning experiences. I think that everyone should just stop and smell the turkey and as soon as its done with lets bring on Christmas!

GRATEFUL SUNDAY # 5

Sorry that I am a day late but better late than never right? I am grateful for WONDERFUL SURPRISES! On Friday I got home from work and it had been one of those days when you have everything planned and then it doesn't happen. Plus my cute little pre-schoolers were on one! I walked through the door and noticed a beautiful bouquet of flowers on the counter. I was wondering who these where for and my name was on the card! It was pretty AMAZING! So I am grateful for wonderful surprises! So I encourage everyone who reads this to go out and surprise someone with something wonderful! Whether it be a phone call to someone you haven't talked to, a hug to someone who needs it, or whatever you think! You never know whose day you could make! I know that my day was made better simply because of these flowers!

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween. I know I am just about a week late on posting these. Hey better late than never right! Halloween this year was super fun! On Wednesday we had our pre-school Halloween party. I made my cute little goblins (students) witches brew for a Halloween treat. I got mini bottles of sprite, glued Halloween paper to the outside of them and then attached a label. It was either Goblin Grog, Witches Brew, or Swamp Cider. I told my little goblins how a witch named Heckabee came to my house and dropped these off for them. I also played the song witches brew and told them that it was Heckabee's dad singing it as he was making it. The goblins got kind of grossed out and didn't want to drink it so I had to tell them that Witches Brew kind of tastes like sprite! For the Halloween party I dressed up as Hannah Montana. Oh it was all sorts of awful but the goblins liked it so that was all that mattered. On Thursday (the day before Halloween) Jake came down and Rachael came over so we all stayed up late carving pumpkins. We got a little more creative this year than usual. It was way fun though! Hope y'all had a HAPPY HALLOWEEN! The treats I made for my classes!
My afternoon class along with the aides.

My morning class along with the morning aides!

Carving our Pumpkins! Dads was the trick or treat pumpkin! Jakes is the one beind it. Mine was the witch however she got in a small fight with her broom and her eye got hurt. (ok so really I accidently pushed it to hard and it broke! But the broom story sounds so much better)!

Grateful Sunday # 4

Last night I was reminded how grateful I am for my little buddy Ethan. We went to the Jazz game and on the way there I was telling him how high our seats were(seriously you couldn't get any higher; as you can see there is cement behind us). He replied to me "its ok Jessa, the higher you are the better you can see. When he said that I was so happy that I can call myself Ethans "Aunt". He is always reminding me that there is more to life! He is so full of it. As we were walking to the car last night I asked him what was his favorite part of the game. His response was getting my Boozer arm bands and my popcorn. I wish all of you could have a chance to get to know my little E-Man he is seriously the sweetest seven year old I know. (Don't get me wrong he has his devilish moments!)
