Family Outings

By
So taking a baby out with diaper bag and stroller in tow is a bit daunting, well for me at least. However, I have been determined to have some outings for the sanity of, well, me. I feel like our attempts have gone pretty well.

Our first adventure was a picnic at Bridal Veil Falls in Provo Canyon. I thought this would be a doable mountain experience, since there is a paved path up to the falls and it isn't too far. It was nice to be in the mountains. I have really missed them this past summer.

The picnic turned out with the boys eating first.

Then Danny kindly held baby so I could eat.
Ha, I love the little crabby bottom.

Lovely scenery.
Danny took some cute pictures of the boy.

Got to be real and show there were some tears as well.
Oh this face, melts my heart. He seemed quite pleased all bundled up in
his car seat.
The mountains, how I love thee.

For our next adventure, baby and I went with my mom, my sister and her family to the MOA at BYU. There is this cool exhibit with period costumes from Hollywood movies. (Sense and Sensibility, Pirates of the Caribbean, Phantom of the Opera, to name a few.) We weren't allowed to take pictures of the actual costumes, which were quite exquisite. The rest of the art was very enjoyable as well.

    It's great to see how much Hyrum enjoys his little outings! He seemed to feel the same way about the Alpine Loop too.

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...
