A Few More Things...

Image
By
Life has been so busy lately that I've only had time to do a few updates every once in awhile.  So here are a few occurrences of my life over the past week.
  • Danny and I got new Church callings!   Remember how I said the calling that makes me most nervous is teaching in Primary.  Well guess what, we are now Primary teachers, haha.  We are teaching the 9 to 11 year olds, so the oldest class.  I actually feel like I do better with younger kids, like sunbeam age (3-4), so we will see how this goes.  I'm glad Danny and I were called to teach together.
  • Speaking of kids, we have this darling little neighbor boy around the age of 2 that just cracks me up. I was going out to my car when I caught a glimpse of him giggling in his driveway.  I looked closer and saw his hands were full sprinkler keys.  It looks like he went around our little complex collecting them from all the neighbors.  When he saw me he proudly announced, "I got two!"  He had a few more than that, very funny.
  • I was sitting at my desk yesterday when one of my coworkers came up and asked me how my hands were.  Odd question.  "Umm, fine" was my response.  He replied, "Great, do you want to be a hand model?  We need a shot of someone flipping through this pamphlet."  Heck to the yeah!  (Ok, I didn't really say that.)  Not sure of how to prepare for hand modeling and I asked, "So should I wash my hands or put lotion on or something?"  That made my coworker laugh really hard. I think he thought I was joking.  I was kind of being serious.  Anyway, I can now put hand model under "skills" on my resume.
PS  Last night Danny and I finished a small home project which I will post soon.  I was quite pleased.

    That is awesome that you got to be a hand model. Have you seen this weird video of the interview with the hand model?

    very funny. You are going to be awesome primary teachers. That was my favorite calling when Nathan & I got to team teach primary.

    Hand modeler? What a career!
    How did Primary go? That's a challenging class, but a husband/wife team is about the best you can have for that age group. I hope you enjoy it. I'm sure you all will be fantastic!

    I immediately thought of you getting a special air-tight case for your hand like that guy in the cemetery in Zoolander....ha ha ha. It was fun to see your new digs on Saturday morning.

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...

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...
