One of my all time favorite photos.

As I was upstairs cleaning and vacuuming in James's office I came across this picture that Tricia made for James years ago.  I absolutely love it!  Thank you so much Tricia!  I will always treasure it.  James was the sweetest little boy and he loved his grandpa almost as much as grandpa loved, and still loves, him.

 

When I got up this morning around 5 am. I noticed a couple of elk feeding in our back yard.  I got James up so he could see them too.  Sometimes they don't stay long.  Awhile later we looked outside and there was a herd of 10 antelope and 16 elk.  

I love the antelope.  They are so cute,

and curious too.

The elk just turned their backs to us.

I guess the two elk this morning went back to get their friends.

 

A few weeks ago James ran over his chainsaw with his truck.  Here he is trying to fix it.

 Is this normal!  After posting this on Facebook I have

come to realize it is done by lots of men,

many of them either Lambson's or living in Vernon.

 

I have made some changes to improve my gospel study.  I am now getting up at five until of six.  I am going to include family history in my daily schedule, and I am going to go to the temple on a weekly basis.  

 I am reading Sister Wendy Nelson's book, "Covenant Keepers" where she offers a 21 day challenge of great family history and temple work.  My friend Karen and I are taking the challenge.  We officially start on Monday.  I am just preparing myself.

 

I went grocery shopping this afternoon after James got back from his home teaching appointment with the Wallace's.  Brother Wallace is building a ballfield at his place and preparing for thousands of girls who will be coming this summer for girls camp.  I don't know how he does it.  He is older than we are and in very poor health.  He is an amazing person!

I got back from grocery shopping after four, and before five we were leaving for town again to go to the wrestling fund raiser steak dinner at the high school.  We have several boys in our ward on the wrestling teams in Show Low, including Talon and Andy Wilhelm, Ty Applegate, and Jackson Allen.  Jackson is a state champ.  

We saw Brian and Cheri Maxwell there with Cher's sister whose son is on the team.  It was a nice dinner for $12.50 and we went home with leftovers.  I especially loved the cowboy beans!

 

Two books I am currently reading.

I love Sister Nelson.

I was privileged to meet her several years ago at

a BYU Women's Conference.

I also love this book.
