"Sadly enough, my young friends, it is a characteristic of our age le gods, that if people want any gods at all, they want them to be gods who do not demand much, comfortable gods, smooth gods who not only don't rock the boat but don't even row it, gods who pat us on the head, make us giggle, then tell us to run along and pick marigolds."

-Elder Jeffrey R. Holland

 Nice view!

Here are a couple of pictures from last night's FHE that I missed:

 Babies and girls love Brian.

 Nice smile Sheri!

Nice group picture.  Thanks Kim!

Sheri, Jared and I had a plan to meet at the plan this morning.  Sheri wanted to take Anna shopping and I wanted to take Molly shopping for her birthday.  Sheri, Anna, Emmy and Addy went clothes shopping while Molly, Ruby and I headed for the Disney Store.  Jared and James could do what they wanted with no girls to worry about.

 Anna and Sheri love clothes and shoes!

 Molly in her Sleeping Beauty dress and shoes.

Sheri got her the Sleeping Beauty doll.

No trip to the mall is complete without

going to the play area.  

After shopping Jared took his kids to a place you can't go to in El Paso, Chino Bandido's:

Molly and Ruby are best buddies!

I had lunch at In n Out Burger and took a couple of burgers to James and Adam before I left for Vernon.  Jared left and we met at the cabin.  He stopped at Burger House and I stopped at Safeway and Walmart to get groceries.  I asked the kids what their favorite foods were.  These are the answers I got: James - seafood, but we settled on ribs.  Anna, homemade chicken noodle soup.  She says her mom even makes homemade noodles.  I told her I would fix homemade soup but the noodles would be store bought.  Emmy loves pizza and Molly said macaroni and cheese.  

There was no rain in Vernon today but we had some beautiful clouds.  Of course the first thing everybody wanted to do was go on a Razr ride.  I let them ride while I put the groceries away.  Jared said they saw a herd of elk.  It was a beautiful evening.  I introduced them to Master Chef and told them it was one of Evan's favorite shows.
