Happy Birthentines Weekend

Hope you all had a happy Birthentines weekend. We had a fun one. Saturday evening we combined forces with Lisa (whose birthday is right next to mine) and had a birthday bonfire extravaganza. We bundled all up and drove as far up Provo Canyon as we could to get away from all the dancing and kissing couples who thought it would be romantic to dance in the cold snowy mountains. We made fires, we cooked hotdogs, smores, hot chocolate, ate birthday cake, and tried to fly kites. Unfortunately I didn't get a video of when Lisa tried doing it the first time. She took off down the mountain on the very uneven and hard snow. She quickly ended up on the ground with a broken kite. But there is one picture here of her second attempt. And one of Jarom trying to be creepy. He's working on his creepy face.







After said bonfire night I went to school on Monday on my actual birthday. It was kind of an interesting experience, one in which I wasn't sure how to react. Somehow, I can't even remember how now, it got slipped to a few students when my birthday was. When I walked into the school, I hadn't even dropped off my stuff yet, I got ambushed with a big hug and happy birthday. I'm not supposed to touch the students. Then later on I was subbing in a class that just so happened to have this instigator in it. She then gave me a present. A present? Am I allowed to have a present from you? Awe, why not, it was candy. Can't say no to that. But then she made the entire class sing happy birthday to me. That was awkward, and aweful sounding. Then after school during 4H, it happened again. Again, awkward. Especially when there are a lot of kids you just don't know that well... but whatever. It was done.

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...
