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...

Blogging is still cool, right?

By
I woke up this morning missing my blog. My very early 2000's blog. I had one called The Life of Jannifer during my 20's/single years. Then I had this one from 2010 - 2015 during my early married years. Then I have a website janniferwood.com where I tried to show I'm a serious writer. I still have that website and I'm still trying to show that I'm a serious writer. However, I missed my place of silliness, this little blog. Or I miss being younger, one of the two. Why not post after 7 years?  Also, I find the title of this blog funny because there are a select few people in my life who call me Jan. Most of them are family members or old friends. The even rarer is Janni, which is reserved for some of my nephews and a few other loved ones. My given name, Jannifer, is usually what I go by, but this also tends to be the most confusing for some reason. That whole A and not E throws people. So, I'll stick with Jan on this one.
