Christmas Update #1

My parents are in town for the Christmas Vacation, and we've been having lots of fun. They got in Thursday night and we (and my brother and sister-in-law) all went out to eat at Sizzler. On Christmas Eve we hung around at home for awhile, played the piano. And then went to Temple Square to see the lights. We got some pictures of the area and of us in the daylight, then we headed over to see my brother's lab. He is a grad student Utah. While there we looked at various things underneath an electron microscope, including bugs and Jarom's eyelash. Pictures of that are to come.

Unfortunately we forgot to make plans for dinner, so by the time we got hungry, around 7 ish, we started looking for a restaurant to eat at in Salt Lake and they were all closed! Who closes down on Christmas Eve!? ha. Luckily we finally found on cafe that would be open for another half hour, so we ran in and ate quickly. Then we continued our tour of Temple Square for the nighttime events. So here are pictures of our Christmas Eve adventures.

Then on Christmas Day of course we opened presents. Then we went over to brother's house where parents were at too and opened MORE presents. Then we decided we needed new family photos, so we attempted to take some of them. I'm not sure which one's I like the best, either of just us as a couple or as a whole family. Please give input if you have an opinion as to which look the best!

Category 1: pose 4
Category 2: pose 3 except Jarom's face is kind of hidden by your head so maybe pose 1 but your mom doesn't look very happy in that but pose 2 is weird.

Curb Appeal Galore

 This post is to document the journey our outside of our house has been on over the last few years. A lot of these projects I took on this summer, and a few I did earlier. I am so happy with where we are currently at, but still have some plans before it's finished. So, here is what it looked like the day we bought the house. Seven years ago. Don't let the "grass" fool you. It's just weeds. And the ugly brown window trims paired with the ridiculously old glass in the windows and the green brick with maroon grout. Not too pretty. We have since painted the door, trim, and replaced the windows. Also replaced the porch light and house numbers.  This spring we also had a new concrete half circle driveway installed. We live on a busy street and our front yard is useless and our driveway is tiny. So now we have much more functionality, less weeds, and overall happiness. After the driveway was installed, I also ripped out the rest of the grass and installed some decorative...

Things I've learned about babies

These are things I never realized or knew about babies that I have learned since having one of my own! -Babies are grimy. I still don't understand how they can get so dirty. How did you get all this dirt under your fingernails!? You can't even DO anything with your fingers! -You know that soft spot on their head? You can totally see their heartbeat in it sometimes. It's kind of disconcerting. -Once you finally figure out some type of routine or normalcy......it changes. -Apparently babies can still "bite" their tongues, even though they don't have teeth. I guess technically they're gumming their tongue? Which doesn't sound too painful, but when a red pinched blood vessel looking thing shows up on the tip of your baby's tongue, you realize that it might be a bit painful. -Babies have to be pretty tough, they experience a lot of pain! From being born (it just can't feel great being squeezed through a birth canal), to teething...for mont...

Good and Bad Discoveries of the Week

This week we have discovered the secret to life in Provo!! I am serious, it's the best thing ever, and everyone who lives in or near Provo, must take advantage of this secret to life. 1. Go to the Winsong movie theater 2. Purchase a ticket for "Take" (preferably Matinee) 3. Preferably, do not watch this movie because it is a waste of time. But if you have nothing better to do with yourself, go ahead and watch it. 4. Take your movie stub to the dollar theater located by Costco in Orem 5. Finally, enjoy UNLIMITED free movies at this theater. That's right, I said UNLIMITED FREE MOVIES at the dollar theater. I know this sounds to good to be true, but it is oh so true. I have done it, and it works. Last night, we watched a free Indiana Jones from this movie ticket. It was amazing. The movie Take is pretty worthless, but the reward is priceless. Ok, so on to the bad discoveries of the week. I have recently become aware of the advantages and disadvantages that tag along with...
