Trying to catch up on things we’ve done, I can’t leave out Jarom’s exciting trip to the new Cowboy’s Stadium to watch BYU play against Oklahome(who was ranked 3rd) in Dallas Texas. He had a blast, joining up with his buddies from mission and college days. Stan, Mike, Dave and Jarom went to probably one of the best games, and BYU actually won this one!

There are pictures of them all around Texas, even pictures of them standing on the grassy knoll where Kennedy was shot. Also, a funny pic of the boys having a picnic in Wal-mart in the what looks to be camping gear area, until they were kicked out-how awesome is that?

Hopefully the tradition of meeting up once a year for a BYU game will continue through our lives, it’s so great for them to get out and be boys, and cheer for BYU!

I’ve never been very good at crafts, but I have actually been introduced to something I’m able to do. I love Kanzashi, which is basically oragami with material. I have spent so much money on things for my girls’ heads, I’m excited to be able to make my own boutique style accessories. I love it, and it’s easy, which is probably why my limited crafty brain is able to do it. Here’s to lots of kanazashi!!! These cute bows can be brooches, added on a skirt or scarf, made as earrings, a bracelet, or whatever you want to add it to. Hopefully I can now spice up my jeans and t-shirt simplistic look! The reason there are snaps on each of the bows is so that they can be interchangeable. We’ll see if it works!
