Kids at Church

Yesterday at church was rather entertaining, especially since Danny and I got to substitute teach in primary.  We taught the 4-5 year olds, too cute.  Those kids just had me cracking up during each meeting.


  • During sacrament meeting the speaker was talking about the importance of reading our scriptures.  The little boy behind us who is probably 3 whispered loudly to his dad, "Dad, don't we already know about this?"  His dad responded, "Yes, we do." The little boy replied, "Then why is he talking about it if we already know?"  Danny and I were cracking up.
  • Then in sharing time, the primary leader was teaching the kids about what commandments are.  She asked, "Who knows the name of the prophet who received the 10 Commandments from the Lord?"  Little boy in our class excitedly raises his hand and answers, "Moses Smith!"  
  • This was a sweet moment.  A little girl in our class while raising her hand accidentally hit the boy next to her.  He (in a tattle tail voice) told me that she hit him.  The little girl's response was, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."  She then reached over and gave him a hug.  He hugged her back and said, "It's ok, I forgive you."  We can learn much from little kiddos.
  • During class time, we taught them about having faith in Jesus Christ.  We shared the story from The Bible when Jesus healed the blind man.  The little boy giving the closing prayer was so tender.  After praying for each member of his family, he said, "Please bless all the people that can't see and hear that they will be able to."  So sweet.
Anyway, fun times in primary.  In other news, I have been doing so well avoiding the flu and cold bugs that have been going around this winter.  After spending all last week with many children at different photo shoots for work, I now have my first cold for the winter.  I guess that is the downside of being around kids.

  2. Moses Smith! I love it. I miss being in Primary! Kids are so honest, innocent, and sweet. Too bad they can't stay immune from germs that make them sick and the world's influences that take away that innocence.

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 th...

Birthday Week!

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...

One of Those Nights

You know the time when you turn the corner too sharp and gouge one of your toes on the retro 70's border that lines your home and apparently you have really good blood circulation in your feet, because your toe starts bleeding profusely.  In an effort to stop the bleeding, you limp to the kitchen to grab a paper towel to clean up your poor toe only to track blood all over the carpet.  (But then, luckily the husband comes and helps clean up the blood trail, your sad, little toe and gets you a band-aid.)  So once you have recovered from your messy injury, your really nice husband makes you a smoothie to make you feel better, only for you to drip it down the front of you on one of your favorite shirts.  Yeah, it's been one of those nights.  Sigh. In other news, last week I went to the musical "Little Women" with Talena.  I wrote a review for the Utah Theater Bloggers Association, which you can read here .  It's been awhile since I've done any reviewin...
