These are a few of my NEW favorite things

Okay I have a legit question... Why would someone's favorite thing be "when the dog bites, or the bee stings?" REALLY?? That statement seems like a bold faced lie to me... Don't you agree?

Well I am about to share with you some of my most NEW favorite-st things. But don't worry... There is nothing absurd on here like bees stinging people...


1.... Have you had these squares of delicious goodness? NO? Go to your grocery store NOW and buy them. It is literally the perfect cereal. Not too sweet, and doesn't get soggy. mmm....

2.... Bare Minerals Bronzer. Want that sunkissed glow? Do yourself a favor and hook your pasty white skin up with this baby.


3.... Im obsessed with this book. I read (actually listened... its what I do when I am editing.) it about a month ago and I still think about it daily. Its quite interesting.


4. . This is a blog that I have fallen in LOVE with. Check it out. Click here.




What are some of your FAVORITE-ST things? I would love to know...

sandwiches.strawberries.and sun.

So I am sitting at school and I just asked Robbie what one word he would use to describe our marriage. Here's the breakdown of our convo:

bob: Uhh....

me: don't say something stupid.
bob: duh... I would say the word would be good.
me: good? thats it?
bob: no. how about interesting.
me: That's gay. Say something different.
bob: fine! fun... or happy... yeah our marriage is happy.

I think I might have tricked him into saying that:)


Here are some pics from our very first picnic of the season! YAY for warm weather.

Dandelions and Jake

Go back in time with me.. Like 12 years. That makes me 10, and Jake 8.

It was a warm spring afternoon. Jakey (his name when we were little) and I had been sitting in the car what seemed liked YEARS. It probably was more like 5 minutes while my dad took a mad dash to the bathroom. (he ALWAYS did that after we all buckled in and ready to go)

I decided to tell him a little white lie. I told him dandelions grew only in spots where dogs peed... Him, being my younger brother, obviously had an internal need to be smarter than me. After I said that he looked at me and said,

"Gosh Jessy, don't waste my time with stupid facts. Every one knows that."

After that I laughed in his face and told him I was lying and he was the stupid one... So maybe that was a little harsh. He cried. And I got in trouble:(

Every time I see a dandelion, that memories pops back in a head, a smile emerges to my face, I and think of him.









For over a year, Jake has dedicated his life to serving our Savior in cause much greater than us all.

He is sick. And has been for awhile. Will join me and pray for him to be made whole?

CONGRATULATIONS MICHELLE!

My darling sister Michelle ran for student council awhile ago, and I couldn't post her election poster until after she won...

Aren't these adorable? Yeah, I LOVE them!

Easter Joys and Conference

Was it just me, or was this past weekend just bliss? Does it get better than chocolate, p.j.'s all day, and awesome talks? I think not.


Its a tradition in my family to color holiday pictures during conference. It helps all us ADD-ers to focus and listen.



If you were wondering what my favorite talks are... You can click HERE, HERE and HERE.


During the in-between times of morning and afternoon session, the easter bunny aka Robbie and me, (just for the record... I don't like being the holiday figure of children. It sucks not doing the egg hunt!) came and hid eggs all over the yard. Thank goodness the snow melted by then! YES! I just said snow. It snowed Easter morning. How pathetic, right?



Here are the Egg Hunters:




I don't ask... I just take the pictures. P.S. Those nasty thermals she's wearing were mom's from YEARS ago.




Melt my heart!



Michelle found the poop egg Robbie and I hid.
HA HA HA SUCKER!




This is Maddie's bunny, Tuffy... I was so proud of my edit, I had to show the before and after.

After Robbie and I entertained the children we went over to his house for the annual
SCHAACK FAMILY EASTER EGG HUNT EXTRAVAGANZA

Can I just tell you guys something... This is the MOST epic and exciting thing to happen to me every year. Karen, my mo-in-law, hides eggs all over the yard and, in the dark with a flashlight, we have to hunt for them all over the yard. IT'S A FLIPPIN BLAST. And the best part? The eggs are filled with money money money money money MO-NEE (song courtesy of the apprentice.)


I'm sure you are all wondering who won... I will let the pictures speak for themselves...



Here's another one just in case you wanted more evidence.



I guess it would be fair to say that I DOMINATED their faces.


Thats my war paint on my face... I am all hard core!





Well I hope you all had a FAB weekend.

loves. hugs.

jess.
