Skyler dancing???

David!!!!!

 This is not gross...

 It is my XBOX remote in jello...

Not funny, David, Shelby and Sammy!!!

Well...

A little funny.

Just wait...

Finally...

I was so excited to go visit my very good friend Marnae and her sweet baby boy.

Roman Dennis Sorensen. 

He even has dimples. 

And when he squeaks, plug your ears. He is so loud.

Congrats Dennis and Marnae.

You two created a beautiful baby that I can't wait to get in my arms again.

A litle craftiness...

g

So I decided to make something for some people.

I have had the vision in my head for many months now. 

Sadly...

They are not turning out exactly the way I thought, but that is okay.

I am nervous...

I know this is going to turn out badly, but I won't give up like I usually do...

I hope.

In the Dog House...

Someone fancied up their lair...

Gotta love the dollar store.

Sun, Moon and Stars...

 I found these cool necklaces on Etsy.

I love the moon...

 I love the sun...

 I love the stars...

 I love sunsets...

 I love sunrises...

 I love daydreaming looking at the sky...

 They all are anxiety relaxers for me.

When you have constant anxiety, it makes the world feel so chaotic and bad.

I guess that is why I look to the sky.

The Big Chair...

A week ago...

we went with the triple A's to dinner 

and then we stopped by Big 5 to check out the big chair. 

Wow!!!

four cup holders and if you were to take this to the parade, you could sit in the back and still see, actually, you could cuddle with your loved one too. 

I wonder if anyone has ever bought one???

Sisters...

I bought this for both of my sisters as for myself.

Of course, I had them put our names on it.

 and...

I also made it into a necklace instead of a key chain. 

Way too fragile for that.

I ordered it from http://www.etsy.com/shop/aswedanceaway  Pumpkin Pie Design.

I still need to send Amber hers so shhh.....

I should have posted a picture of mine, but my camera is sick.

 

{Recipe} Nutella Puffs

You only need 5 ingredients…

• Nutella
• Marshmallow Crème
• Frozen Puff Pastry
• One Egg
• Sugar

First, you will need to thaw the puff pastry.  Once thawed, unfold and cut into four squares.

Put a spoonful of Nutella and marshmallow crème on the puff pastry.  Oh, it’s looking good already!!

Fold the square into a triangle and crimp the edges of the pastry with a fork. 

Brush the pastry with an egg wash {one egg, beaten} and sprinkle with a little bit of sugar.

Bake at 350 degrees for 22-25 minutes or until the pastry is lightly browned.  Take out of oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes and then ENJOY!!

I found this recipe at www.whipperberry.com. 

I think I may have to make this for FHE. 

Handy Gal Tips - Lemons

Stinky cutting board To help freshen up your cutting board (wood or plastic) slice a lemon in half and rub it on the board, cover the whole area well and let the board sit overnight. In the morning rinse your board well… the lemon will help neutralize the odors and also help disinfect it a bit

Stinky Refrigerator Take a sponge and place on a small dish. Squeeze a lemon and absorb the juice into the sponge, give the sponge some good squirts and place the dish (and lemony sponge) in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning your refrigerator will smell much better… and guess what… rinse out the sponge and so will it!



Air Freshener Make a mixture of an equal amount of lemon juice and water and add to an fine mist spay bottle. It's a green way to freshen up the air in your home

Clean your microwave Slice a lemon and place them in a bowl of water, put them in the microwave and heat up for between :30 seconds to a full minute. When you open the microwave, stains should be easier to remove with a damp cloth or sponge and old food odors will also be neutralized



Help remove blackheads Slice a lemon and rub over the area where you see the blackheads at night before you go to bed, be extra careful not to get lemon juice in your eyes! If it's easier, rub your finger on the lemon and then on your face. Let dray and sleep overnight… in the morning rinse well with water. Repeat every night if necessary until the blackhead disappear. The citric acid in the the lemon juice help to naturally dissolve the oils which form the blackheads… it will also help brighten up your skin.

Help relieve a dry patch of skin (like your elbow, knees or heels) Make a mask with equal parts lemon juice, honey, olive oil. Apply to the dry area of skin and let dry (takes about 10 minutes or so) rinse thoroughly with warm water. Your skin will feel fresh and moisturized.



Sliced lemons for drinks, fish and cooking Fresh lemons are always great in drinks, to cook with and when eating fish, to insure you have a ready supply prep and keep in the freezer or in the refrigerator.. To freeze, cut the slices and wrap each one in some freezer paper and store in a freezer ziplock bag, the paper will keep them from sticking together. Frozen lemon wedges in a glass of water are even better then a new fresh cut lemon! You can also keep about 3 or 4 slices in a glass jar in the refrigerator.

Freshen up the sink disposal After you have done all of these tips we've just given you.. Don't throw away your used lemons!... Chop them up and throw them in your sink disposal while it's running, not only will it help disinfect your disposal, but give it a fresh clean smell as well!


I got these ideas from Good Things Utah! I miss watching those cute girls!

New Years...

Snowshoeing...

 South Fork, Provo Canyon

 Taisha is ready to go...

 I am ready to go...

 The elk are already going...

 Danny...lead the way.

 It's amazing how quite and peaceful the mountains are in the snow.

 We snowshoed with a couple who arrived at the same time as us.

We had such a good time and can't wait to do it again!

 Falling was so much fun...but really hard to get back up with the snowshoes on.

 No, it's not the abominable snowman, it's just scary me.

 Taisha sure does take good pictures.

 Making myself into a snowman... Harder than it looks.

I am so weird.
