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 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
