A Walk in the Park

Image
By
Last Saturday was gorgeous weather, so Danny and I went on a walk in the park not too far from our home.  It is so nice being able to be outside and not have to wear a jacket or coat.  (I can't say the same for today, since it is frigid and rainy.)  Danny and I had fun sharing secrets with each other on our stroll. No really, that is what we did.  I had my trusty camera with me and took a few pictures as the sun was setting.  It was a beautiful evening.

The pond.  It is already starting to overflow and the runoff has just barely
begun.  I perceive flooding is going to occur this spring



This is my favorite picture from the evening.

    Beautiful pictures. Enjoy these times alone together because when you have kids, those times become rare.

    These are great shots of the setting sun. What park is it?

    I remember when there was a prison in the place where Sugarhouse Park is. I can't believe how much it's grown up in the past 50 years and how beautiful it's become. Maybe that's a commentary on how things and people can change over time. The irony is that they moved the prison out to the point of the mountain where it could be totally isolated. Now that area is full of homes, stores and businesses. The one thing that is constant is that everything changes. Enjoy your rambles together and sharing secrets. That's what builds a strong foundation for a good marriage.

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

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...

8 Months!

By
Smiling at Daddy Showing Mr. Lion who's boss. Milestones: New food this month: Carrots, Peas, Oatmeal, Prunes, Green beans, Squash He's really interested in making different noises and sounds with his mouth. I feel like he is watching us intently trying to figure it out. ("It" meaning talking.) He hasn't started to crawl yet, but he has gotten up on all fours. He finally rolled from his back to his stomach. He's been rolling the other way for months now. He doesn't like being on his stomach, so he avoided rolling to that position for a really long time. First St. Patrick's Day, because that's a big deal. Likes: At the beginning of the month, he liked to grab my face and bring it really close to his and yell. Apparently, it is a fun game. His favorite toys are his toy guitar from his Aunt Michele, his toy car from his Aunt Katie and Uncle Tim and he really likes his stackable rings. The vacuum. It is a fascinating specime...
