January on Instagram

Better late than never...
Jan. 3rd - Found this gem in Danny's sister's family album. I have a major
crush on him.
Jan. 7th - The joys of peek-a-boo.
Jan. 12th - Chilling in my gnome socks from Talena and eating crackers
and frosting while Danny puts the baby to bed = bliss.
Jan. 14th - This face. How will I ever say no?!
Jan. 17th - Trying solids for the first time. He seemed to like the rice cereal.
Jan. 19th - Just enjoying the spring like weather, which has been the case
for most of this winter.
Jan. 20th - Art comes in many forms. This particular night it came in the
form of berries and pineapple on a massive sugar cookie. And there
was much rejoicing.
Jan. 23rd - Spitting. All the time.

Jan 26th - I take way too many pics of this boy sleeping, but look at
how precious he is! This particular day he refused to take naps anywhere
but my arms, but honestly it was sweet, even if it gave me a dead arm.
Jan. 28th - My cousin gave me this vinyl scripture months ago and I finally
finished my crafty project to display it in our living room.
Jan. 29th - Baby boy was feeling sick with a cold, so I gave him a baby
mohawk to help him feel better. I think he liked it.
Jan 31st - Drum roll please... Sitting all by himself! Now if I could only
teach him to make the bed.

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

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

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
