June on Instragram

June 1st:  Danny becoming one with nature.  We went on a drive up
Big Cottonwood Canyon.  It was lovely.
June 1st - As I said, lovely.
June 1st - Also on this day, I attended my niece's ballet recital.
It was beyond adorable.
June 5th - Elaine Bradley from the Neon Trees performed at a work
gathering of mine.  It was very cool.
June 7th - A burning bush on Parley's trail.  
June 7th - Somehow, along our walk we crossed the border.

June 7th - Little wildflowers basking in the setting sunlight along Parley's trail.  
Danny and I have wanted to walk along Parley's trail in Sugar House for
months now, so I suppose this outing could be considered a success. However,
while it had pretty views, it was also a dog trail, making it rather
disgusting.  Many dogs felt the need to relieve themselves, if you know
what I mean ,and many dog owners felt the need to turn a blind
eye and let it be.  Gross.
June 15th - For our family reunion, the kids were suppose to dress up
as their favorite super heroes.  Baby C came as a mini Clark Kent.
So much cuteness, I can barely handle it.
June 15th - We went to the Chalk Art Festival.  I found this fishing
chalk art piece rather impressive and it made me think of my dad.
June 22nd - Taking a moment to document the super moon.
June 24th - It's been a incredibly hot summer. Unfortunately, one evening
our power went out for about 5 hours, meaning no AC.  We used
our best survival skills and cooled off with some gelato, and
 went to see a movie.
June 29th - Date Afternoon!  Danny and I went out to eat
Chinese food at Cindy Lee's Cafe for lunch.  This happy little
Buddha greeted us.  We then went to the temple.  Quite a
nice afternoon.

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

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

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
