Happy Labor Day!  Why is it that on Labor day we do anything but labor?  James got up early and he and Alex went down to Chocolate Lake to do some fishing.  This time James caught one fish but Alex didn't catch any.  Maybe the fish are on to him.
The weather was so nice, I read my scriptures on the back porch and then decided to take a walk down to Chocolate Lake and see how the guys were doing.  I figured I could catch a ride back with them.  Well they must have come back cross country instead of on the road because when I got there no one was there.  I called Kim to come and pick me up.  On the way home as the cool breeze was hitting us in the face she said: "I could do this all day."  I agreed.  Instead we went home and fixed breakfast.
 Kim fixed buttermilk pancakes,and sausage, and I fried the bacon.

We like these pancakes for their delicious taste and their crispiness on the outside.

I got the recipe from Marci Coombs's blog.

 Joseph wouldn't eat any thing.  I think he had some cereal and James wouldn't either but the rest of us enjoyed it, especially Alex.  That kid can eat.  I don't know where he puts it.
After breakfast Kim, Brian, Joe and Alex packed up and left for home.  We were sad to see them go.

Kim took this picture of James before she left.

  A couple of hours after they left it rained hard for about an hour.  Sad because they wanted it to rain while they were here.

I am ashamed to say that after everyone left I "vegged" out on the couch to watch my shows that I missed last week because of the RNC. I watched "So You Think You Can Dance".  One of my Utah girls, Lindsey went home.  I also watched Project Runway where they didn't sent anyone home, Cupcake Wars, and Pioneer Woman.  I wonder if the Pioneer Woman's tequila lime chicken is as good as my honey lime chicken?
James went out and trimmed some trees.  I finished my Sunday School entry in my Sunday journal then went on a ride.  When I got back James was looking for his phone in a pile of brush.  I called his number and he found it immediately.  We went to bed a little after 8.
