Another Weekend Has Come and Gone...

Last weekend was another jammed packed weekend of fun.  I suppose I could do updates of my actual weeks, but those aren't nearly as exciting, in my opinion.  Anyway, last weekend...

Friday

We went out to dinner with our wonderful friends, Rachel and Joey.  Rachel and I were once roommates, which was a beautiful time.  We went out for Thai food and I learned that the spicy scale differs from each restaurant.  Medium spicy at the last restaurant we went to was just right.  Medium spicy at this particular restaurant was scorching hot.  I went through 4 glasses of water.  However, other than that, we had fun visiting and laughing.

After dinner, being the thrilling people we are, Danny and I went to the grocery store.  It was needed.

Saturday

We got up on the early side to go to our nephew's baptism.  The cute, hilarious red head who I call General J on this blog.  It was a sweet event and J was super excited.  I was honored that I was asked to lead the music, even with a mistake or two.  Memorable moments: J and his friend singing a duet together.  They sang out so loud and clear, I was so proud.  Also, during one of the prayers, my three year old nephew B. Anu, chanted that he needed to go potty.  He just so happened to be sitting on my lap at the time, so I was a little nervous.  Fun times.  We gathered for lunch afterwards.  It was a fabulous, family time.

The rest of the day was filled with chores.  I even tried out my green thumb and planted a few flowers in our little flower bed.  We will see how long they survive.

Sunday 

First, church, where we were asked to substitute in Primary.  We taught the 5-6 year old kids.  They were a bit of a handful, but we had fun.  We played our favorite game, the compliment game, where you toss around a stuffed animal and compliment the person you throw it to.  The kids seemed to like it.  They were very good at complimenting each other's ties and shoes.

After church, meetings, more meetings.  Then a quick video chat with Danny's brother and his family. I put up a few decorations in the backyard and we had a dessert night to celebrate Danny's graduation!  Danny didn't want to walk at commencement, but I felt like we should still have some type of celebration.  Here are a few pics from the get together.

Congratulations Danny!  So proud of you!

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...

The End of the Road

There is a time when things fulfill their purpose and that is how I've been feeling with this blog of mine. When I started it, I needed my own little spot to share my thoughts and random stuff I found online. However, having two blogs has become excessive. It has been a good run (me and this little blog) and thanks for joining me. For now on, I will just be posting on my family blog . It's a private blog, but send me a message or a request if you would like to view it. Thanks to those who have taken the time to read my silly thoughts or look at pictures of my cute kiddo or some craft I made. It means a lot to me. Signing off, Jannifer

The Christmas Box

Remember how forever ago I said I would post a tutorial on how to fold these cute boxes.  Sigh, life is busy.  But I am here to fulfill my promise, even if it is a bit belated.  We had a Super Saturday at church with classes we could take.  My awesome friend, Becky, taught us how to create these, so I give her all the credit. What you need, paper, scissors, ruler pencil and some type of adhesive. 1.On the blank side of your paper draw an X from each corner, using a ruler. 2. Fold the bottom corner to the  center. 3. Fold the bottom corner one more  time up to the center. 4. Now you are  going to do the exact  two folds from steps 2 and 3 to the  opposing top corner, so your  paper will look like this. 5.  Unfold your paper and make the same folds to left and right corners that haven't been folded yet.  So once again, fold the point to the middle. 6.  Do a second fold to th...
