January on Instagram

Image
By
Apparently there wasn't much to take pictures of during the month of January, just a whole lot of snow.  My amount of Instagram pics is much less this time around.  Interesting to see what February will have in store.

Jan. 3(ish):  Our icicle farm, they just kept on growing.
Jan. 10:  We had this insane snow storm  that hit right during the evening 
commute.  My 15 minute drive turned into 1.5 hours.  Since I was spending 
most of my time stopped, I passed the time by documenting this crazy 
weather. This past month the weather has been a little freaky.
Mountains of snow, freezing rain and fog, oh my.
Jan. 12:  Since our city had turned into a frozen tundra, Danny and I 
planned an indoors date to pass the time one Saturday.We did have 
a fun time, because Color Me Mine is one of my all time favorite places. 
However, we were unfortunate enough to have to sit at the only free table, 
which was by the door.  The temperature was in the single digits outside.  
So every time someone opened the door, so much rage and cursing
 occurred in my head.

Jan. 12:  Danny creating a work of art in frog form at Color Me Mine.

Jan. 18:  I heard about this new cafe/bakery from multiple coworkers and
friends that just opened up down the street from my office downtown.
I tried it out for lunch one day with a friend and I was thoroughly pleased.

Jan. 18:  At Eva's Bakery, there is this wall of bread which I found
incredibly charming.  It helped me imagine that I was in Paris for a
split second.  What a wonderful split second that was.

Jan. 19:  One can handle single digit temperatures and a smoggy inversion
only for so long.  Danny and I left it all behind and visited my sister and
bro-in-law in St. George over the long MLK weekend.  There was sun, grass 
and clear skies, which meant one thing to me:  Bocce Ball Tournament.

Jan. 20:  Tim Tam Slam time.
(Don't worry, I didn't break my sugar goal, because I was on vacation.)

Jan. 24:  Danny and I made a visit to the Jordan River Temple one
icy evening to celebrate Talena's Temple anniversary with her.
It was heavenly.

    Cool pictures, especially of the monster ice daggers! Yikes! Glad you got a nice weekend get-away! Sorry about the smog. Hope it lifts soon.

    Question: How does the bread in that bakery not dry out?

      Good Question. I assume they put out new bread each morning. I just saw it as a photo op.

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...
