No more wisdom....teeth!

And no chipmunk jokes either!

Hey, Grandpa knows how to fix this! We even have duck-tape in different colors!

Miracles do happen!

Do you remember Grant's old boots he purchased back in Wisconsin (1972) that were held together with duck-tape? Well, he actually purchased some new ones today with Ron and Trek's encouragement. Amazing!

P.S. PICTURE COMING SOON. can't get it to work right now.

P.S. to the first P.S. HOW DO I REMOVE a P.S.?

I'm published!

Well, anyone can be on SugarDoodle.net. I just submitted an idea under Primary 3, Lesson 3. I think I will have to be more creative to make it to the first page.

Interesting little tidbits ---

1. Do you know who wrote the verse and chapter headings in our LDS Scriptures?
2. Do you know who chose the font/style used in our scriptures?
3. Do you know why some words in the Bible are italicized?

Answers:
1. It was the brilliant Bruce R. McConkie.

2. It was President Thomas S. Monson (a member of the twelve at the time). He wanted one that could be easily read and yet not take up too much space. He actually used to be a printer and became the General Manager of the Deseret News Press before his call to become an Apostle.

3. Because the translators had to add that word or words to make that particular translation understandable in English. There were no identical word or words in the Greek or Hebrew languages.

Sad news

Lori & Craig are not going to join us on Sunday.

Why? Because Lori didn't marry an orphan and we have to share!

They are going to Idaho for a wedding and a missionary farewell.

I'm telling everyone this now so I don't have to see your disappointed faces when you hear the news. We love it best when "everyone" is here but that isn't always possible. We love all of you!

There are all kinds of FUN dates! And today's date is one of them.

Sundays Now Look Like This...

Our ward split again last Sunday. This is the second time in 15 months. Crazy, right? We love our neighborhood!

Chuck was called as the Exec. Secretary and is working with a GREAT bishopric. He was gone from 9-4 today for meetings and church, and he went back to the church at 8 tonight. Yeah- he's pretty cool.

I'm now the 2nd counselor in Primary. Apparently I am meant to be with the kiddos...

Kinsley is sick with the croop. It's her first ever sickness. The other morning Austin went and told his parents that, "Kinzley is breathing like Darth Vader!"

What every potential missionary should know!

BIG MILE STONE A COM'IN

I remember January 14, 1956 as the day I met "the love of my life!"
Grant remembers that date because it was when he purchased his first car!
And we are still together -- amazing!

If a pictures is worth a thousand words then I am talking too much, even stuttering in one place.

Check out todays date 1-1-11 !

The next same type of date will be 2-2-22 which will be Ron's 59th birthday.

Sad news. Steve is moving out! Oh, No! How could this be?
Moving out on Monday (maybe even Sunday night).
I'm sad. We have enjoyed him living here.

I'll have Cheese Cake for dessert on Sunday, the kind that Steve likes (with the terrible Graham Cracker crust). And some with the good crust for the rest of us.

We don't get out of church until 4:00 pm so we'll have the blessing with the first arrivals. Come whenever you can. We'll serve up until midnight.

New Year's: Look Not Behind Thee

Sunday Dinner 1-2-2011

Menu: Ham & Bean Soup
Rolls, etc.

Definitely influenced by Lisa on this choice. When she lived in California and was coming for a visit she would sometimes request this recipe. I think it was the only one she ever requested.
Yum for a cold winter day.

Christmas Eve 2010

Angel wanted to help Mary with baby.

Smelling Frankencense.
And gold.
