I love this picture of Aaron and Kari's family.

Beckham, Anna, Samantha and Katie.

Even though this is the second marriage for both Aaron and Kari, they seem like they were made for each other!

James got up and fixed a big breakfast for Seth, Adam and Alex. 

Afterwards they all, except Adam, went into town to get some lumber they needed.  When they returned and actually started working, James realized the lumber was 2 feet too short.  Here he is directing his crew.

 Making the discovery about the boards

Instead of getting six hours of work as he had planned, Adam only got 3.5., Seth 4, and Alex 5.  

Brian enjoyed watching part of "March Madness", the college basketball tournament.  He seemed quite happy that Uof A was already eliminated.

Kim worked on her new cupcake puzzle.  

 I love this puzzle!

I am including this picture of Halstatt, Austria because as I was visiting with Kim she said this is one of the places in the world that she wants to visit.

 Gorgeous!

As I was leaving to go into town to get some groceries to help feed the guys, Kim and Brian left on the Razr.  Their plan was to make the Christmas Tree Trail circle but they said when they got to the trail, there was too much snow, so they turned around and came back the same way they had come.

As soon as I returned from town the guys, Adam, Alex, and Seth were leaving on the Razr.  They went to the pit and the swing.  When they returned they said that lightning had struck a tree close to the swing and knocked it down.  How sad.  They brought the swing back with them.  James says he can probably fix it.  Another project for him to add to his list.

I sort of went off my diet today.  I had a couple of little candy bars and a maple frosted donut from Walmart.  

Brian fixed dinner for he and Kim and the guys grilled some burgers that we had in our freezer.  Adam and Kim did the dishes.

Kim has been unbeatable in Five Crowns while she was here.  She has won every game she has played.  Is it luck or skill?  Maybe a little of both.

James studied for his lesson and I mine before we went to bed.  He is a little nervous because he has not had much of a voice all week.

My lesson this week is about Alma baptizing at the waters of Mormon.  We are going to be studying the covenants we make at baptism.  One of the covenants is about bearing one another's burdens.

These cans were labeled with different ways that people can suffer.  The class members each read a burden and then put it in my bag and try to carry it.  We took the burdens out and read them again and each class member tells how they could help the person with the burden.  

Michael ran in the Chandler Rotary track meet tonight and did not place.  I am sure he was heartbroken because he wanted to break a school record.  He has been sick this week so I am sure that had something to do with it.  Paul, Stacy, Jared Ammon, Dallin and Sheri all came to see him run.

Ben went to the Chandler West Stake youth conference which was held in Superior.  The kids did all kinds of service projects.  This is a picture of Ben and some of his friends helping clean the Superior cemetery.
