Happy Father's Day to all those awesome Dad's out there.  James is an awesome husband, father, and grandpa.  He loved his gifts that I got him:  An ASU Shirt, a Superman watch, and three books from the Church bookstore.

For Young Women today I prepared a review of 1st Nephi.  Since I was busy preparing for a lesson, James took the chocolate chip cookies that Sheri made to the church for the goodie plates the Relief Society is making for the men today.

Erin Windsor, Lorraine Tieman, and Rick Laurtizen were the speakers in sacrament meeting.  Erin is a priest and an awesome young man.  He bore a powerful testimony of the Savior a few months back that I will not soon forget. He spoke on how families are ordained of God and that we should all love and care for each other. Lorraine's talk on the restoration and temples was quite lengthy so Rick only had a few minutes to talk about the Atonement of the Savior.
 It was nice to have Sheri, Ian, and all their boys with us today in Sacrament meeting.  After the meeting all of them except Alex went back to the cabin.  Alex stayed with us for the entire block.

In Sunday School we had a lesson on the 2nd Coming entitled: Looking Forth for the Great Day of the Lord."  My review of 1st Nephi in Young Women's went quite well.  Next week Kaeli Nicoll and I are taking the girls who have read through Alma 1 to our timeshare in Scottsdale.  So far five girls, Jordyn, Trenda, Shelly, Kilee and LeeAnn say they are on track.

After the block Kaeli, Julie and I had a short meeting to discuss camp awards.  James and Alex waited in the car for me. 

When we returned to the cabin Sheri, Ian, Max, and Ben were in a heated game of 5 Crowns.  Ben was losing and wanted to quit.  I know how he feels.  I have felt that way many times.

For Dinner we had steak, 3 bean salad, and broccoli and coleslaw.  Quite delicious.  Sheri and Ian left this afternoon with Ben, Max, and Evan.  Alex stayed here with us in spite of the fact that his right wrist is still bothering him.  I think he wanted to stay for the Mutual fish fry on Wednesday.

I took a nap after our early dinner or late lunch, whichever you want to call it.  After my nap I decided to clean the wood floor which always looks so terrible after a lot of traffic.  I swept, mopped and waxed it.  Now it looks beautiful!

Alex made up a card game called "Tricks"  which he and I played.  Interesting.  He also made a trap outside to catch a critter.  He was aiming for a chipmunk but no such luck.  He did catch a little
mouse.

James and Alex enjoyed watching the show "North America."  We waited around for Dallin and his friends to arrive.  James and I went to bed around 10:30.  About five minutes later we heard them arrive.  There are four of them; Dallin, Kevin, John, and Mario.  They are all singers and musicians.
