September

We had a busy September. We stayed plenty busy with school and work, but managed to have a ton of fun too! Here are some of our adventures.


Here's a little fact about me that not many people know. I never learned how to ride a bike! I know, hard to believe, right? Most people think I'm joking when I share that little known fact about myself. But, it's true. I've never been able to relate to the phrase, "It's as easy as riding a bike." :) Well, my friends Chelsey and Kaleena have both been wanting to teach me how to ride a bike for several summers now, and we finally made it happen. We decided to make a night of it and enjoyed some bike riding and bread making.


As you can see from the pictures, they both did a wonderful job of teaching, because now I can no longer say that I don't know how to ride a bike! Thanks again girls! You're the best! :)

Over Labor Day, we got to spend the weekend with all of these cuties! Thanks again for the fun trip Mark and Halli! We had a blast, as always!


The weekend after Labor Day was Time Out for Women! All of the wonderful Stone ladies were able to come, and we had so much fun together!! This was the second year we went and I think there's a good chance it will become a yearly tradition! I stole this picture from my sister-in-law's blog because I didn't take any pictures with my camera.


I also got to go up to my mom's house for a fun girl's day during the week! I wish I had taken some pictures, but we were having too much fun to remember the camera. Thanks again Mom! I always love our trips to see each other!

The week after that, while Patrick was busy studying, I headed down to Spanish Fork to spend some much needed time with my brother's cute family! I made it down in time to eat lunch with Kristine and little Russell. Then we went to pick up both of my nieces from school. Katelynne is in kindergarten now and Alexa is in pre-school! I can hardly believe they are old enough to be in school! It was so much fun seeing their classrooms and hearing about all of the things they are learning. After we picked them up, we got to play and cook dinner before heading to one of Katelynne's last soccer games. Can I just say that there is nothing cuter than a bunch of six-year-olds playing soccer! So much fun!! Thanks for the fun day you guys!


Here's a lovely picture of Patrick and I with some friends at a football game.


Every once in a while Patrick takes pictures on my camera and leaves them for me to find when I import my pictures onto my computer. I found this one the other day. In case you can't see what it is, it's a little note in his binder that says, "Holy crap, I love Janet." :) He's cute and I love him a lot!!


Well, there's a glimpse at our September! Have a good day!!

Crafting? Who? Me?

So most people who know me would tell you that I'm not crafty. I've never really had the desire or talent when it comes to making crafts. Well, as of the last couple of months, I've really enjoyed looking at different craft blogs and seeing all of the fun things people are making. There are so many cute crafts and talented people out there! It kind of inspired me, and I've been on this crafty kick lately! Weird, I know. Who knows how long it will last, but it's fun for now! Here are some of the things I've made. Sorry the pictures aren't the best.



I made these cute "Boo" letters with the help of my friend Chelsey. It took way longer than we both thought, but I think they turned out quite well! Thanks for being my partner in crime Chels!



This ribbon wreath has been my latest project. I love how this turned out! This picture really doesn't do it justice. It was pretty easy to make, but it just took forever! All you do is cut a TON of ribbon and hot glue the ends together to make a loop. Then you hot glue all of the ribbon loops onto a wreath form. If you want to make one, let me know and I'll send you the link of the tutorial I followed.
