Another night on the recliner with no sciatic nerve pain. My right knee hurts though. Today is Evan and Joshua's graduation party. We had planned on going down and doing a turn around after the party.
We have three grad cards one for Evan, Joshua, and Rowan. We gave each of them $100. Sorry it couldn't be more.
James spray painted my tiered dessert tray to match the smaller trays. He also put another coat of paint on the smaller trays. The big try was black and now it is a beautiful white. Stacy used them tonight at the party to put desserts on.
We were planning on leaving right after noon for the valley. Attending the boys graduation party/open house, and then coming back home so we could attend meetings in our own ward tomorrow. Also because we didn't want to leave Tom and Sammy and the horses.
We got a text from Sheri asking if we were coming to Evan's seminary graduation tomorrow night. We didn't know anything about it. She said Evan was giving the closing prayer and I could tell she really wanted us to come. I talked to James and we changed our plans. We are spending the night so we can attend the graduation tomorrow. I texted Stacy and told her and we packed our overnight bags.
Just as we were ready to leave Tom decided to come in. James put his food and water and treat bowl outside and gave him his treat outside. When the weather is nice we leave him outside if we are gone overnight.
On the way out of town we stopped at Bishop Halls 60th birthday party which was held at the Vernon chapel. Bishop Hall was our first bishop when we moved to Vernon in 2012. His grampa, Claude Butler, was my bishop when I was a teenager in Show Low. Also, I dated his uncle Keith Butler during high school.
We know Bishop Hall's kids. We spoke with Kendall and Westin. Westin was there with his kids. His wife just had a baby and the baby was premature and is still in the hospital. They will release her when she is able to breathe on her own. Her name is Shaylyn. We told Westin we would pray for her. He said he had quite a week taking care of kids. He made the comment: "I don't know how you women do it."
We had a taco before we left. Thank you Hall family for your friendship!
Evan and Joshua had lots of friends at the open house. Darrel, Trina, Addy, and Rowan came too. Kim took a picture of the three boys together.
Evan is definitely the tallest!
She also made her divine Rice Krispy treats.
Stacy made sugar cookies, Sheri made brownie bites and
brought Chikfila, and Paul made wings and a brisket.
and asking him if he wants to try some.
on serving a mission!
Yay!
I got to meet Evan's girlfriend Mia.
You can't really see her in this photo.
She is very pretty. She gave Sheri flowers for
Mother's Day.
Those are Brian's feet on Stacy's table. I hope he
doesn't mess up her puzzle!
After the party I went upstairs to our bedroom and crashed. James wanted to go to the store so he headed for Fry's where he spent over $50. It's okay. He makes the money, he can spend it if he wants.
I almost forgot a funny story Michael told us about his last trip home from the cabin. He said the traffic was bad and he was trying to pass several cars after leaving Payson. He got stopped by a state trooper, that's what they now call what they use to call highway patrolmen.
The officer asked him, and was visibly upset, if he knew how fast he was going. Michael was very polite and said he did not know. He was only trying to pass. The officer said he was going 100 mph. The officer then went back to his car. While he was gone Dallin told Michael to tell the officer that he knew Mark Lamb. When the officer returned Michael mentioned knowing Sheriff Mark Lamb. The officer's demeanor changed and he said, "OH, I love Sheriff Lamb." Michael did not get a ticket. He didn't even get a warning.
Quote & Verse
"Scripture records that 'the song of the righteous is a prayer unto God' in which His soul delights. So let's sing! And praise Him!"
D&C 46:30
He that asketh in the Spirit asketh according to the will of God; wherefore it is done even as he asketh.
