Jessie will be singing this Friday, October 30 with the Acapella Choir at Libby Gardner Hall (located in President's Circle at the "U") at 7:30. Their concerts are always really good. About 1 to 1 1/2 hours long. Cost is usually about $7.50 unless you let her know ahead of time and she can get tickets from the students for $4.

November Family Craft day

These are two of the quite books that will be available for our Family Craft day in November. I will also have the stories of Jesus available. They will cost about $5.oo each. Please order by October 31st so that I have time to get the materials prepared.

Dehydrater

We were lucky enough to get a new dehydrater with our tax return and have an old one that works really well. If anyone is interested let me know.

Happy Birthday

I know this is a little late but I thought it would be fun to wish Dad a Happy Birthday!
We wanted to take him to dinner so we gave him some options and he choose to go to Robintinos in Bountiful. We all had a great time, minus the beetle crawling around on the floor.

Beef Order?

Wondering if there would be enough interest in going in together to order a beef.

We just recently ordered a full beef. If there is enough interest we would call the same guy that we just went through and order another. Below is an approximate cost and what you get. It all depends on how you want things cut, but this is how we usually get it.

Because the beef are grain fed, the approximate cost for a half a beef was about $950. We figured that this is about what you get for half a beef:



80 (1lb pks) hamburger

16 (approx) variety of roasts

7 sirloin steaks

7 soup bones

13 Round steaks

4 Sirloin tip steak

5 pks stew meat

8 T-Bone steaks

7 pks short ribs

7 Rib eye Steaks

4 pks liver (optional)



All of the amounts are approximate. The beef we got was about 866 pounds hanging weight. By the time they cut it and wrapped, it cost about $2.36 per lb, average. Pretty good price for the roasts and steak.



We usually split a beef with someone else and the half a beef lasts our family a long time because we aren't really big beef eaters. We felt like we needed more this time because our family has grown and our married children come 'shopping' and mom and dad's.



We would normally go through Blaine's brother to get our beef, but he hasn't been doing well enough to raise his own, but he was the one that sent us to this guy. Blaine's brother is also very picky about where he gets the cut and wrap done......he only goes through one that is clean and takes good care of the meat. Between that and the fact that I know the beef wasn't fed anything other than the grain and good stuff, it makes it worth it to me to order this way.



Let me know if you might be interested in going in with someone else and I will keep track of who has shown interest in our beef. We would be happy to either give you the guys name and phone number, or Blaine could call and order another.

Swap

Does any one want to swap kids? J/K our kids are the best. I just can't think of anything else to swap. We do need a larger car seat for Emily. So if anyone has an old one lying around that they are not using maybe we can "Swap" something for it.

Thanks, have a nice Day. love you all!

Just thought everyone would like to see this picture of Becky. :)
