And Ruth said,  "Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God."

-Ruth 1:16

Happy Birthday to Brian and Dallin, and to Ruby too even though it's not officially here birthday until the 18th we had a party for her today.

 This is the cake I want for my birthday.

Brian, Kim, Joe and Michael left for San Diego.  That's a nice birthday gift from Brian to Brian.

I am ashamed to say that I had ice cream for breakfast.  I studied and cleaned the condo and then took a nap at 10am.  I did my hair and makeup at 10:30 just before Sheri, Ian, Max and Evan arrived.  Alex and Ben are still on their trip to Havasupai.  They will arrive home later today.  Next to arrive were Bryce, Lexi, Kylie, Kayla, and Kreed.  Finally Darrel, Trina, Addy, Rowan and Ruby were here.  They had to stop and get pizza.  All of Darrel's kids gave me a hug. 

James calls and says he's knocking the door down because he forgot his key.  I open the door and no one is there.  He's on level two!  Oops!  Lucky no on was in that unit.

Here are some pictures I took at the party before everyone went outside to go swimming:

 I love the look on Evan's face.

 So many gifts for such a little girl.

The Tangled doll Sheri got her was beautiful!

She got lots of dress-up clothes.

  Showing Rowan the Calico Critters.

Does he look impressed?

 I think the Tangled doll looks like Ruby.

 More dress-up clothes.

 What should I play with first?

 Love that smile on Ruby's face.

 Kylie showing Ruby the book they got her.

 Blowing out the candles.

Grandpa gave Ruby this ice cream.

After the pizza, cake, ice cream everyone went out to swim except James and I.  I had already done all of my packing and while James was loading up his truck and my car I went down to say one last goodbye at the pool.  

We love to go home to Vernon and plan on making a stop at the Taco Bell on Shea Blvd. but it has closed down.  Who ever heard of a Taco Bell closing down?  We went on to the Taco Bell in Payson.  James is shocked at how fast I drive but I remind him that we arrived at the same time.  

At home we unpack and I put all my things away.  Afterwards I clean the wood floor.  It is dirtier that I've ever seen it.  James and I watch a Hallmark move and then on to the comfort of our own bed.  My pillow seems awfully small.  I did love those pillows at Sheraton Desert Oasis.  

Stacy, Paul, and Joshua spent the night at the condo.  Stacy said they had a blast swimming with Joshua.
