changed the youtube video of Grace talking to "unlisted" instead of "private", so if you use the link in the post below it should work now.

Rare who roast beast

For dinner last night: Rare who roast beast, who hash, and who pudding :) The kids loved it!! When asked a few days ago if the Grinch stole the who's Christmas Keith answered: "no he didn't" Christmas still came. I guess he get's the message :)

And the Christmas Cactus is blooming!!

Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without

Most of you have seen David's phone and joined in the teasing. It's older than gun smoke. A dinosaur. A fossil. All those phrases used to describe something old and out of date. It's the phone he got for free 8 years ago.

You might have even seen him wear his patched-up jeans. He likes me to patch his jeans rather than buy new.

But you probably haven't seen the bottom of his shoes. At one point he mentioned to me his work/dress shoes were starting to wear out and we needed to buy him new. So we did. That was in the summer of 2010. Over two years ago. And what have the new shoes been doing this whole time? Being worn? Um...no. Sitting in a box, waiting. Waiting for what you ask? Waiting for the old shoes to finish wearing out. Yes these pictures were taken while they were on his feet, on his way to work. Friday. Today however, it has snowed, and I believe the new shoes will get worn finally or his feet are going to get wet. :)

Love you, sweets. I'd much rather have this problem than someone who needs the latest and greatest all the time.Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without.

Isabelle's Dance Recital

Belle had her 1st dance recital yesterday. She was so excited she was dancing around the kitchen all morning! She was so cute! All my friends who saw her commented the same thing--that she was so focused, concentrating very hard! They did a tap dance this time, in the spring they will do a ballet and a jazz.

Dave and I were both impressed with the dance studio--all the girls wore the same t-shirts and black pants--all 20 dance teams--all modest and every dance tasteful. They also were impressive and had the whole thing done in less than an hour and a half! And the recital was free....anyway, we like how they do things at Grantsville Dance!
