The Duttons for Dinner

I don't know if any of you know who the Duttons are, but we {my parents} had them over dinner last night. My family met them 3 years ago when they decided to make Arizona their winter home. My dad invited them over for dinner the first year they performed here. They made time in their schedule and came over. They had the best time. So, now every year they come over for a big fun dinner. There are about 30 people that come {not all of them can always make it}. The family has 7 kids who are all married and have kids. Plus, they have 7 adopted children. By the way, for those of you who don't know, the Duttons are a family performing group. They live in Branson Missouri and run their own Hotel, Deli, and Performance Hall. Their whole family sings and plays every instrument. They are really good. Buisness is slow in Missouri in the winter so they come here to perform in the winter. They recently tried out for America's Got Talent. They made it to the top ten. So, that was cool. If you haven't seen them perform, you should. They are so good. If you want to find out when their next performance is you can go to their website at www.theduttons.com . Then, click on "2007-2008 Arizona Schedule is here!" Anyway, we all had a really fun time. Both families look forward to it every year.

    That is pretty awesome! I remember you telling me about them when they made it to the top ten. I watched them a little bit on t.v. they are pretty cool. That's cool that they hang out at your parents house every year.

    That's cool! Do you know how much tickets are? We went last year and would love to take Jordan and Jocee this year. I went to their website but it didn't have ticket prices.

Bryson's Store

Image
We didn't have Family Home Evening last night, so we had it tonight. We made a little store for Bryson to sell candy from {it was his idea this morning}. He was in HEAVEN! Dad brought boxes home from work, bought candy on the way home, then came home and we all made it together. The huggies box is his cash register. And, we used fake money from one of our board games. We'd give Bryson the fake money and then he'd give us some candy. It was SO funny. He kept saying, "This is a fun activity!" {He picked this saying up from grandpa!} Here's the front of his store. Here's the back view of his store. Here's daddy buying his candy. When Bryson thought we had boughten enough candy, he told me to take his spot so he could buy some candy. He's not stupid! Here's a video clip of one of daddy's transactions with Bryson. It's so funny....you have to watch it!

Break Dancer

We went to a wedding on Thursday night. It was a Argentine wedding so they had a ton of music and dancing. Bryson was in heaven. We couldn't get him off the dance floor! I recorded this video off of my phone so the quality isn't very good {because of the low lighing in the place}. But, hopefully, you'll still get the idea. Everyone was break dancing inside a circle. I could tell Bryson wanted to go out on the floor so bad. So, I told him to go do it. And he did. That part is at the very beginning of the video. Then, he went out and danced with everyone else. He had some good moves. I couldn't get too much on video because people kept walking in front of me. But, this should be enough to make you laugh .

Bryson's Girlfriend

Image
Bryson has a little girlfriend at church. They are so cute together {they even look alike}. They stick up for each other in nursery. If a child picks up a toy that Bryson had been playing with, she takes it away from them and tells them it's Bryson's. She is also his first kiss. You go boy!Her dad told us that last sunday she was excited to go to church. She said, "I get to see Bryson today. He's so hansome!" This morning Bryson told me that he loved her, and that they were going to get married in the temple, and give kisses and love. Too cute. We always have to let them play together after church is over because we can't seperate them. So, us parents just stand there and laugh at them. Yesterday they had a fun during their "play time". The were splashing each other with water from the drinking fountain. It was pretty funny. We hope they'll really get married. We'll have to keep in touch with her parents. Ha ha.
