September on Instagram

September 6th - Family outing to Bridal Veil Falls.

September 6th - Family togetherness in the wilderness.

September 12th - Baby usually likes tummy time, but he kept giving me
this look that seemed to be saying "Are we done yet?" on this
particular day.

September 14th - I had to document this moment, because these were my
thoughts: How is it that after being up with this kiddo all night (he was awake from
midnight to almost 7am) and then having to clean up all the milky contents from his tummy
he threw up all over our new couch, I wake up after a 2 hour nap this afternoon to find
that I'm already incredibly missing him. Motherhood does strange this to you.

September 17th - I found this little surprise photo on my phone that my
sister Noelle and my cute nephew left for me.

September 20th - Football season. Baby is undecided on who his favorite
college team is, but I'm gently persuading him.

September 25th - This little boy started giving real smiles last month and I
finally got one on camera.

September 27th - Me, my sissies and my Mama. We had a girls night of dinner
and attending the LDS General Women's Conference.

September 28th - Baby in his cute blessing day outfit.

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...
