Pi, Cake, Nephews and Stuff

By
First off, today is Pi Day!  (3.14, get it?)  According to my Lent schedule, I was allowed to eat sugar today because it is a holiday.  Isn't it just my luck that this past weekend I haven't been feeling top notch. Even though I still carried on and went to work today, this is the 3rd day of me not really wanting to eat anything.  Lame.  Even though the universe may be against me, I still enjoyed a little sweetness.  I'm kind of paying for it now as my stomach is not pleased, but the celebration must go on!  I will share pictures of our small Pi Day festivities in the near future.

So, I've been meaning to post pictures awhile ago.  My sister-in-law Katie put on the most fabulous surprise birthday party for my brother Tim last week.  I wish I got more pictures of the food and decorations, because she is so talented and the place looked awesome.  I have to show off the cake she made for him, it rocks, literally.

The guitar cake, so impressive!
Chocolate dipped Oreos, mmmm
At the party, I took multiple pictures with my nephews, because they are so darling and hilarious!  A great combination.

This wasn't a costume party, but General J and I found the firefighter
 hats in the toy room.  It makes sense that the "fire heads" wear
the fire red hats.  ("Fire head" is a loving term my sister Noelle uses.)
Super R trying to share his rock candy with me.  He's a giving
child like that.
Master M and Ry Guy playing with trucks together.
Dr. C and Super R helping Tim open his presents.
My little buddy Master M!  How could you ever say no to this face?
And now for a story about my cute nephew Master M.  One way I have gained the love of my nephews is by spinning them around until we are both dizzy.  It makes them happy.  I was spinning Super R around and Master M was watching quite intently.  After Super R's turn, I turned to Master M and asked if he wanted a turn to spin around. He nodded and I picked him up and we twirled around the room.  He giggled the whole time.  I put him down before we got too dizzy and sat down on the floor so I could take pictures of the gathering.  Master M came over to me and gave me the sweetest hug, I think to thank me.  He then moved my camera off of my lap to make room for himself.  Master M took my camera and would pretend to take pictures by saying "cheese!"  Then he would look at the screen and say, "Oh cute."  It was adorable!

    You are great with your foot shots, and I like the picture of the two fire heads.

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

By
I've become a finals widow, if you will, meaning Danny is crazy busy trying to finish up the semester.  This has given me extra time to use my crafty skills to get our place Christmas ready.  My first creations were these little paper/foam trees.  I've seen a few variations online of this craft. I put my own little twist on it.  They are really easy to make, just takes some time. Here is what you need: Scrap paper Hot glue gun 1" Circle punch Foam cone (at most craft stores) Toothpicks Note:  You are going to go to the craft store to buy the little foam cone and you will see styrofoam glue and you will think to yourself that would be a good thing to buy for this project.  Don't!  I got the styrofoam glue and it didn't work at all.  Just go with your trusty glue gun, it won't let you down. I think it's pretty self-explanatory by looking at the picture.  You just punch circles out from the scrap paper.  Then hot glue the circles to the foam tree in

2013 - The Year of Grace

By
I know we are well into 2014, but I'm still in the midst of recounting last year and making goals for this year. As I've looked back on and thought about 2013, I have to admit it has been a rocky year. However, during some of these hard times, I feel like Danny and I have drawn even closer in our marriage. I sure love that man of mine. I really think what makes a strong marriage is facing the tough stuff together. I have also grown closer to my Savior, though at times it didn't always feel like it, which I will discuss more below. I can honestly say, this year has whittled me down to a rather more fragile version of myself.  I think that is what being humbled is.  I have been humbled.  I’m still working on being humble. I think with this past year, I’m understanding more what grace is.  I think you have to experience a lowly place to even feel the need for grace.  I agree with the common phrase: “Do your best.” However, I don’t think we always understand what ou

This Weekend

By
This weekend was a whirlwind experience.  I realize I could split this up into like 4 or 5 different posts, but I'm just going to do one big, long post.  So get a snack, get comfortable and prepare yourselves. Friday Night:  Danny's Concert with his friends, The Atomic Thunderlips Danny performed up at the Layton amphitheater and rocked the house!  I really mean that, he did such  a fantastic job.  He opened for his friends, The Atomic Thunderlips, who also put on an awesome show. I had great fun clapping along to the music with my nephews who came and being a bit of a proud wife in the audience.  We all went out for a late night dinner at Iggy's afterwards, which showed me that I'm not in college anymore, because I got heartburn afterwards.   (Growing old, sigh.) Members of the family that came to support! Me and my nephew Dr. C before the concert. The boys clapping along. He can play with his eyes closed, he's that good. Danny the guitar man
