A Weekend of Crazy

Image
By
On the scale of one to chaotic, this past weekend inched closer to chaotic than I would have preferred.  It was super busy with some interesting occurrences.  I woke up this morning exhausted.  At least a lot of our busy activities were fun. Here's the weekend update...

  • Friday morning: We woke up to one car in our car port.  We generally have two.  Unfortunately, Danny's car was stolen.  Not a happy thing to wake up to at all.  We called the cops and the insurance company and then figured out how to get through our schedule with one car.
  • Friday night/Saturday morning, 1am: We got a call from the police and they had found our car! Yay!  They told us we had to go get it then.  So off we went in our pajamas to pick up our long lost car.  
  • Saturday morning: Got up and cleaned the house.
  • Saturday afternoon: Had a party with the girls in our primary class.  The kiddos in our class earn parties if they are reverent.  We played games and made cookies.  Making cookies with 3 little girls was an adventure in itself.  We triple the amount of chocolate chips, which they thought was the best thing ever.  I believe the chocolate to cookie ratio should at least be 2 to 1.
  • Saturday late afternoon:  Re-cleaned our house.
  • Saturday evening:  Dinner party at our friend, Rachel's house.  Good food and good conversation.
  • Sunday morning:  Church and teaching primary.
  • Sunday afternoon:  We watched our 5 nephews at our house while my brother and his wife went and visited their new niece in the hospital.
Popcorn, Star Wars and a big table everyone fits on.  We are the best babysitters.

  • Sunday late afternoon:  Re-cleaned our house.
  • Sunday evening:  Dinner at Danny's sister's house and played with her kids.

    I'm so glad you got your car back, even if Danny isn't. I love the pictures of baby and cute Lucy.

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 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
