Grandma's step-stool...

When I was a girl growing up...
my grandma had this red step stool in
her kitchen in her little apartment by the Mesa Temple.
When she passed away nobody claimed
the stool...so I did.
It's nothing fancy but it reminds me of grandma!

I don't know how old it is,
but I'm older than dirt and she
had it before my time, so I'd say it's old!
I thought it needed a little fancy dress to
feel young again...

...complete with a little skirt and sash!
Love you grandma!

Random...

It's a little hard to see...
but there are four doves
sitting on this branch of a tree
above our backyard patio.
No nest, just hanging out?

...and these are some new "little" hens
we recently got...they live in our bird cage
so the other chickens don't pick on them,
and they have taken to "roosting"
at the very top of the cage on a bird box - weird!

Ouchie...


Tobyn had a battle with 
his scooter and lost...
papa hooked him up with
a smoothie in a salsa bottle
so he can just squirt it in...
he's not eating much right now :(
feel better soon buddy!

Minty green delight...

A few weeks ago we were coming from
the light rail station in west Mesa...
and low and behold there was this
great mint green hutch on the side of 
the road in a parking lot!
Say whaaatttt???

We were able to cram it in the car...
and I scrubbed it up good,
added some wire where there was no glass
and painted the inside white...
and there ya go!  SCORE ;)

Parties, etc...

Friday we traveled to Willcox for
Trent's work family party ...

Houston proudly showing his decorated cupcake :)

Sharing a moment...

Then this...they beat Santa with a stick!

Poor Santa ;(
 
Then Friday night was Trent and Sarah's
ward Christmas party and Hoke was
"the Santa"...after Houston sat on
Santa's lap he said to me - "that's Grandpa!"

Then on Saturday night we had the Holyoak family party...

and tonight was my family's party...fun times!
