Kansas

By
Friends, I haven't blogged for a little while.  I missed you all.  This is because Danny and I took a little break and flew out to Kansas to visit Nathan (Danny's brother), Erin and their children.  We had such a fun time with their family and Kansas is gorgeous this time of year!  (Except for maybe the tornados.  While I was there, I got to have my first experience hearing a tornado siren, which went off while we were having a picnic.  Luckily, the tornados didn't hit where we were.  My heart goes out to the communities that were damaged by the tornados. They are in my prayers.)  Anyway, I thought I would share my favorite pictures from our visit.

The girls put on hats to be like Danny




A dino encounter at the Natural History Museum.  (Cue the Jurassic Park
music...which I once did a ballet performance to when I was 12.  How's
that for a pointless fact?)

One morning Iz came downstairs to visit me in her
astronaut suit and a laundry basket on her head.  I
thought that was pretty awesome.
Nathan and Erin took us to this really cool restaurant for lunch that had such
unique ingredients for their tacos.  Pumpkin seeds/sauce = scrumptious tacos.
Our very talented sister-in-law Erin plays the harp exceptionally
well.  She teaches lessons and plays for different functions.
She was hired to play for a wedding by the lake, so Danny and
I tagged along and took a walk around the lake during the
ceremony.  It was so green and beautiful!  


Gorgeous!
Danny and Me!



My brother-in-law Nathan teaches at KU.  He took Danny and I on a tour
of campus. Nathan had the great idea of a foot picture by the tile mascot.  I love
when people embrace my form of foot art.  Danny got to be in this foot picture
as well.

    Yay! I've been checking every day for some pictures from your trip! Looks like you had lots of fun! I'm so glad you got to go and visit the Kansas Woods. Now, save up and lets find a deal on airline tickets (look for Southwest fares to Panama City) for you to come visit the Florida Shulers!!! :)

    Thanks for coming, Jannifer and Danny! It was great to have you here. I'm glad you got a shot of our tacos and of Lizzy in yet another of her silly outfits.

    I love all of the hats, and that is a great pose Lydia has outside of the museum. Lizzy with a laundry basket on her head in her astronaut suit; that girl is a hoot! And Jannifer, I didn't know you used to do ballet.

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 th...

Birthday Week!

By
This week is my birthday week, or should I say birth week.  However that sounds too much like birthing is occurring and that is not the case.  (Don't get any ideas, Danny and I have only been married for 5.5 months.)  Anyway, I firmly believe in celebrating birthdays for the whole week, because why not? Talena and I have a tradition each year that is the kick off for my birthday celebration.  You see, Talena and I were born 12 days apart.  On the midpoint day between our birthdays we go out to dinner to celebrate.  We always try to go some where we have never been before.  This year we went to the Citrus Grill, which was very delicious.  (Special thanks to Eliza for recommending the place.)  We had fun dining, laughing and sharing secrets, because that is what girls do. My dinner...doesn't it just make your mouth water. Talena Balena and Me. PS  We did have a funny little mishap with the dessert.  We got strawbe...

One of Those Nights

By
You know the time when you turn the corner too sharp and gouge one of your toes on the retro 70's border that lines your home and apparently you have really good blood circulation in your feet, because your toe starts bleeding profusely.  In an effort to stop the bleeding, you limp to the kitchen to grab a paper towel to clean up your poor toe only to track blood all over the carpet.  (But then, luckily the husband comes and helps clean up the blood trail, your sad, little toe and gets you a band-aid.)  So once you have recovered from your messy injury, your really nice husband makes you a smoothie to make you feel better, only for you to drip it down the front of you on one of your favorite shirts.  Yeah, it's been one of those nights.  Sigh. In other news, last week I went to the musical "Little Women" with Talena.  I wrote a review for the Utah Theater Bloggers Association, which you can read here .  It's been awhile since I've done any reviewin...
