Congratulations Nicoll family on
you newest edition, baby
Guy!
When I left for the valley on Saturday I had asked Kaeli is she would try to finish up our visiting teaching or at least make appointment for Wednesday while I was gone, if she felt up to it.  Her baby wasn't due for another week or so.  Well instead of visiting teaching, on Monday Kaeli had a beautiful baby boy!
So sweet!
Love the shoes
I love the look of shear joy on sister Natalie's face.

James had a sleep study again last night.  He was home before 6 a.m. and said he didn't get any sleep.  First the mask on the new machine was too tight and then it was too loose.  The good news is they think this machine is going to help him get a good night's rest.  Let's see if the insurance will cover it. 

Alma 58:30-59:13
30 - The Lamanite armies flee out of all this quarter of the land.  They carried with them many Nephite women and children.
31 - Those cities which had been taken by the Lamanites in this quarter of the land are in our pssession.
32 - Helaman says his armies are small to maintain so great a number of cities.
33 - "But behold, we trust in our God who has given us victory . . .
34 - We don't know why the government doesn't give us more men and provisions.
36 - We fear there is some faction in the government.
37 - It mattereth not, we trust God will deliver us.
38 - This is the 29th year.
40 - The sons of the Ammonites are in Manti with Helaman.  None are killed but they have received many wounds  Nevertheless they stand fast in that liberty wherewith God has made themm free.  They are strict to remember the Lord their God from day to day.
41 - And now my beloved brother Moroni, may the Lord our God, who has redeemed us and made us free, keep you continually in His presence.
Alma 59:1-13
1 - Moroni rejoices in Helaman's epistle.
3 - Moroni sends an epistle to Pahoran requesting men be sent to help Helaman.
4 - Moroni begins to lay a plan to obtain the remainder of the cities the Lamanites had taken.
5 - The city of Nephihah is attacked by the Lamanites.
6 - The Lamanites were exceedingly numerous and were receiving strength from day to day.
7 - They did slay the Nephites with an exceeding slaughter.
8 - The people of Nephihah flee and join Moroni.
11 - Moroni was exceedingly sorrowful for the loss of the city of Nephihah.  He began to doubt because of the wickedness of the people.
13 - Moroni was angry with the government because of their seeming indifference concerning the freedom of their country.

GC: "Tomorrow the Lord will Do Wonders Among You" Elder Jeffrey R. Holland.  The last conference talk.  I have read them all five times and will read them again in September. 

James drove me to Hailey Chaffin's today in his truck for visiting teaching.  I had a nice visit with Hailey and Huntleigh, her one year old who is walking everywhere.  I love Hailey and her family!

On the way home James and I stopped at the Stanford Store and had lunch at their deli.  James had a ham sandwich on rye and I had a hamburger with fries.
 Sweet potato fries that is!

When we got home we read on the porch from our new book:

Reading makes me tired, so I took a nap.  After napping I was working on my blog and texted Claire Mercado and Randa Covert my two sisters I haven't visited yet.  Claire texted and said she was moving back in with her mom and Cope and I could probably catch her around five.  It was close to five so I left.  I was able to talk to Claire and her daughter Marlie and give them my handout for the month about speaking softly as a way to show love.  They also loved the lip balm.  I will still be able to visit Claire while she is living with her mom Amy.

When I returned home I parked my car at the end of the driveway because James was working and had the Cat parked in the driveway.  I told him to be careful when he moved the Cat and please not hit my car.
He forgot.

I was very upset at first, but I realized that whenever I make a mistake like this he is very patient and kind.  I said I was sorry and was ashamed the way I reacted at first.  Of course my husband is much more important than my car.  

I was excited that Randa texted me back and said I could come and visit her next week.  I need to do that on Tuesday because I will be gone the rest of the week.

I found this on Facebook today:
you were sent from God."

19 - Helaman: "And thus were we favored of the Lord
20 - Ammoron commands his men to maintain the cities they have taken.

GC: "The Holy Ghost" by Elder Robert D. Hales.

I have a coupon for a 1/2 Pappa John's pizza if I order online.  I order James's favorite: thin crust veggie and we go and pick it up.  James gets five pieces and I get three.  We are reading a new book by a new author: 
This one takes place in America in the 1800's.
It is about a doctor trying to cure tuberculosis.

It rained hard in Vernon today and we even got a little hail!  Around 3pm I went to see Jean Howard with my partner Kaeli Nicoll and her daughter Natalie.  These are the handouts I made for the lesson:
The lesson is on nurturing families
and the handout says:
"One of the best ways to invite love and
harmony into our homes is by speaking
kindly to our family members.
Speaking kindly brings the Holy Ghost."

We were at Jeans for almost an hour and a half.  Kaeli is expecting a baby in a week or so and she got to talking with Jean's granddaughter, Dakota about childbirth.  Jean and I were at the table together so I read the handout to Jean and gave it to her and told her the lesson was on nurturing families.  Jean is going to see her heart doctor tomorrow to see if he will give clearance to her to have surgery on her back.  Something is wrong with the metal in her back reacting to her body and she is in a great deal of pain most of the time.  My heart goes out to her.


Good news!

James is in alot of pain today from working on the drain in the drivewa.  He did make some temple calls to remind people of our cleaning assignment tomorrow evening. He also cooked onions and squash for dinner and then fixed me some Pero.   I read to him from "The Great Divorce", and "With Every Breath."  I also read from The Lincoln Hypothesis.  

Rita reported on Aunt Gene.  She is in alot of pain.

Here are a couple of pictures in honor of Throwback Thursday:
Look how cute they are!

Sheri's Facebook post.

Since I am interested in playhouses right now.  I have decided to post one a day for awhile.  Here is today's:
I am trying to convince James that ours needs
a bathroom and small kitchen.
