I love the Prince, Mr. Kit!
I didn't get a quote from Sheri this morning. I guess she's too busy hiking the Grand Canyon.
I got up at 4:30 this morning so I could take Alex and Ben to the Allen's house. They are going to do baptisms for the dead with the other young men in their ward. The streets were dark and quiet until we turned onto Brother Allen's street and it was filled with young men in white shirt and ties. It was a sight to behold on an early Saturday morning!
Joshua, Evan, and Rowan were awake before 7am. Stacy told them if they woke up before 8 to try and go back to sleep. I could see it wasn't going to happen, so at 7:40 I left with them to go to breakfast at IHOP.

Rowan ordered a chocolate pancake with chocolate chips
and a whipped cream smiley face.
Oh yes, that side of bacon belongs to Rowan too.
Stacy said Joshua would be tired if he got up before 8
and I think she was right.
Evan ordered two pancakes, a side of hashbrowns,
and he drank two glasses of orange juice. He is the only
one that qualifies for the "clean plate club."
I think Rowan is caught in a "sugar fog."
Joshua ate his bacon and silver dollar pancakes and just a
couple bites of his eggs.
At 9:30 we had a meeting with our realtor, Jen MacLay to go over the inspection report. It was a looong list of things that needed to be done.
James seems a little overwhelmed.
Seth and Adam were carrying heavy things up from downstairs and loading them in James's trailer. They finished and then waited around for James to finish his meeting so Adam could get paid.

pulling an empty dolley.

Stacy took the boys to team pictures while we finished our meeting with Jen. She took my car since Michael had left to go to a cross country meet in the Montero.
James and I had a few minutes after the meeting with Jen so we went in our bedroom to read scriptures. Someone knocked on the door. When I opened it I was surprised to see Jared standing there! I squealed and gave him a big hug. We got to visit with him for just a few minutes before leaving for the boys soccer game.
We stopped by Sonic for a diet cherry coke and James also got a New York dog which has saurkraut and onions. I told him Stacy was going to be upset that she made her car smell funky. When we got to Discovery Park he aired out the car and got rid of the trash. He said: "She will never know." "Wrong!" As soon as she got in the car she called me and said: "Did dad go to Whataburger?" I had to tell her it was worse than that. Both her and Kim are just like me, they have blood hound noses.
Our team is the green team. Sad that none of
my grandsons are in this picture,
or this one.
Our boys lost 0-5.

After the game we took the three boys to get something to eat. Rowan wanted Chikfila and the other boys wanted In-N-Out Burgers. They were getting a little fidgety waiting in two drive-thrus, so I started asking them questions. My first question was: What is your favorite animal: Evan said either a fox or an Artic fox, Rowan's was a long finned Maco shark ( or a hammerhead), and Joshua's favorite animals are bats. I asked where they would like to live if they could live anywhere. Joshua said Oregon, and both Rowan and Evan said Australia. Where would they like to serve their mission: Joshua said England because that's where his aunt Tara lives. Of course Evan and Rowan both said Australia. There were more questions but I can't remember them right now. Every time I would stop for a minute Rowan would say: "Ask us some more questions." It was a fun way to get to know more about my grandsons and it stopped them from pinching and fidgeting in the backseat.
When we get back to the house the boys gather up their stuff and they all go do to Evan's to play for awhile. It was time for me to get ready to go back to Vernon. I went to Sam's Club to get gas and some candy for my Primary class. Regular gas is $1.99. That is the cheapest that I've seen it for awhile.
The plan was for me to drive my car and for James to drive the truck, pulling the trailer. When I got back from Sam's Club James said he had decided he wanted to go with me. I was excited! He drove and I read to him.
When we get to Vernon it's raining very hard. After we get settled in we watch the Garage Sale Mystery, The Wedding Dress. I had already seen it but I wanted James to see it too. Time for bed.

Sheri posted on Facebook: "I can do hard things, and I have to do it again tomorrow. I'm so thankful for such strong, inspiring women who encourage me to try hard things. This was the hardest thing I have done in my life, but also the best." #canyongirlsforlife
