Mesa, Arizona temple

Gail is in town for a couple of days.  He drove 1250 miles down from Oregon to surprise Seth for his 18th birthday on Thursday and to do his dad's temple work on Friday.  We had thought someone else had done the work but Jared found out they just had his name reserved.  Jared sent us the name and the brothers agreed that Gail should be the one to do it.  Those who could,  met at the Mesa temple for the 5:30 am session.  Here are a couple of pictures of our group:

We were hungry when we got home so James made us some ham and cheese omelets with toast.  Very tasty.

 

Brent came out and walked the yard with James.  We are totally re-doing our sprinkler system and getting new plants and granite in the planters.  My big concern is getting rid of all the grass in the planters.  It may come down to getting a shovel and digging down three feet to get it out.

Gail came by for a short visit on his way out of town.  He thinks nothing of driving the 1250 miles between here and Oregon straight through without stopping to sleep.  I don't know how he does it.

 

After a nice nap I went downstairs to work in the year's supply room.  It was a little gross but I am not going to mention why on this G rated blog.  James spent a few hours working at Jerod Bowen's.  

 

James did a nice thing tonight.  Last night when we were at Sheri's I could tell she was a little stressed and needed a break.  I asked James if he would take Max to his two hour football practice this evening so Sheri and I could go see "Cinderella."  He said he would be glad to.  We left him Sheri's car and he and Ben took Max to practice at Discovery Park while Sheri and I saw "Cinderella" nearby at Crossroads Theater.  Evan went to Trina's to hangout with Rowan.  After the movie Sheri and I stopped at the park.  She stayed with Max and Ben and James came home with me.  

I got to see Prince Charming again.
