October on Instagram

Oct. 3rd - This is a morbid pic to begin with, but I guess it fits with October
and Halloween.  It isn't as bad as it looks.  For a photo shoot, we had to
 have a doll look like our model, so we bought a doll wig, which I was
styling and then had to shave the doll's head for the wig to fit, which
my coworker did.  We found it a bit hilarious, so we took a picture.
Oct. 10th - A coworker brought donuts to work, which I decided was to
celebrate my half birthday.  So in commemoration of my half birthday,
I took a picture of half a donut (although, I really had two.)
Oct. 10th - Ok, I know I already posted this picture on the blog, but it's
a good repeat.  My friend Megan had a birthday party along with a
petting zoo.  Feeding the zebra was the highlight of the evening for me.
Oct. 12th - A lovely view from our hotel in Aspen, CO.
Oct. 12th - On our little weekend getaway to Aspen, we went on a bike
ride along the Roaring Fork River.  It was gorgeous, as you can see.
Oct. 12th - We also hiked up to Maroon Lake and got a view of the
mountain peaks, the Maroon Bells.  Aspen is gorgeous, btw.
Oct. 17th - More fall-y pictures.  This was my view one morning as I
left my house.  I couldn't resist getting a picture of the golden leaves
against the clear, blue sky.  I really love autumn.
Oct. 17th - I should note that most of my job is sitting at a desk making
phone calls, sending emails and sometimes out looking for props.
 Social media makes it look much more exciting.  However, I do get
to do random things on occasion.  For this photo shoot, I got to be
a hand model for my friend Tina, who is the photographer in this pic.
Oct. 19th - Danny and I visited my sister Michele in Southern Utah for
her birthday.  She really wanted to go on the carousel, so that is what
we did.
Oct 19th - Michele and Princess C before the carousel ride.
Oct. 25th - Just another day of work, setting up shoes to be photographed.
Oct. 25th - The band, Fictionist!
Oct. 25th - Next, the band, Imagine Dragons!
Oct. 25th - And one more of Imagine Dragons, because I like them.
They put on a great show.
Oct. 26th - Taking a jaunt around Mirror Lake with my friends
Rachel and Melissa.
Oct. 27th - Boots and crunchy leaves just make me happy.  So much, that I
had to take a picture on my way home from church.
Oct. 31st - Nothing says Happy Halloween like a jack-o-lantern pizza.

  2. Looks like you've had a great month. I'm curious about the Barbie doll head. Is that for the New Era? When will we get to see that? And were your hands for the glove/ spirit analogy?

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...

8 Months!

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...
