Weekend Update: Babies, Smoothies and Bangs

Image
By
This past weekend was so great in many ways. We had a really chill weekend sleeping in and eating. We spent some time with family and I got a few things done which I have been meaning to do.

First off, Danny and I have been on a smoothie kick lately.  Unfortunately the smoothie cravings only occur after 10pm at night.  This is unfortunate because our blender is really loud and we share walls with other people since we live in an apartment.  We are pretty sure our neighbors weren't too fond of us this weekend, but when you've got to have a smoothie, what can you do?  Don't worry, Danny and I raised our smoothie cups in an apology toast to these neighbors, so I think that made it ok.

Danny, the smoothie machine...well actually the blender
is the smoothie machine, but you know what I mean.
This weekend we also met our newest baby nephew.  Yay, so many nephews!  We went to Mark and JanaRae's house and hung out with their family.  Little Baby D. is so adorable.  Of course I whispered to him that I'm his favorite aunt.  He listened intently, so I think that's a good sign.
My buddy B. Anu and Baby D, I can't help that I have the cutest 
nephews.

The Babykins!!
You may or may not notice in the picture above, but I decided to go back to having side bangs.  I got my hair cut this weekend and while it is fun to be completely lazy for a couple of months and just let my bangs grow out, I decided I really do look better with them.  Hopefully I can keep the motivation to actually style them and not just pin them up every day.

In other news, I finished the 2nd season of Downton Abbey.  (Sigh)  It's been a fun, dramatic ride and I'm excited to see what season 3 has in store.  Danny even watched the season finale with me.  He then informed that in return, I get to watch the extended versions of The Lord of the Rings with him.  I'm not sure how 1.5 hours of Downton Abbey equals like 12 hours of The Lord of the Rings.  The joys of compromise.

    Love your bangs! You look so pretty with them! I have enjoyed Downton Abbey season 2 and don't like that we have to wait a whole year for season 3! Congrats on your newest little nephew!

    I guess I'm lucky that Grampa likes BBC drama as much as I do. Unfortunately, I don't think I could watch more than the first part of the first Lord of the Rings when everyone is happy in the Shire--I get nightmares when I see violent movies. I did read The Hobbit to the boys when they were little though, and they really enjoyed it.

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...
