"Throughout the remainder of my life, I will seek to learn by what I hear, see, and feel.  I will write down the important things

I learn, and I will do them."

-Elder Richard G. Scott

 Happy 14th Birthday James!

James Hayden is smart, kind, fun, spiritual

and very loving.

I love him so much and I am so grateful to be his grandma!

We got to talk to him on the phone and wish him a Happy Birthday.

Grandpa James got up this morning and went elk calling.  Someone answered him.

We made a trip into town today to get my tire fixed.  It's nice how we can drop if off at Discount and come back an hour later and pick it up and no money is exchanged.  They have a great guarantee on their tires.  We went to lunch at the new restaurant that used to be The Maxwell House and then Bob's.  Now it's called The Rim.  It was pretty mediocre.  

Back at home James put the tire back on my car.

 It's so nice to have a man around the house.

We waited for it to rain all day, but it never did.  Adam called and said a hurricane was heading towards Phoenix.  I guess it pretty much destroyed Cabo San Lucas.  It's suppose to hit Phoenix either Wednesday or Thursday.  This time people are getting prepared.

"The fear of the Lord is

the beginning of wisdom."

-Proverbs

Gilbert temple

James left for the valley before 4am.  I always feel sad when he leaves. 

Today was the first day of school in El Paso, Texas.  Molly started kindergarten, Emmy the fourth grade, Anna 7th, and James 8th.  I really like James's haircut.

 To put a little damper on the first day of school, they had a flood in their house last night due to a broken pipe.  Nothing like waking up to a house full of water, but it will take more than a little water to get this group down.  They are awesome!

While James is slaving away in the heat for President Greg Hatch, the Hatch's are on vacation in the Carribean:

Stacy had her home teacher, Chris Butler, come over while Paul was at work to give her a blessing.  Janny, his wife, came with him.  Stacy said it was the most amazing blessing she has ever received.  Chris told her that her children will learn to love the gospel as they see the joy that it brings to her.  She said he mentioned things that no one knew but she needed to hear.  Some people are blessed with gifts of the Spirit and able to share those gifts with others.

Trenda is 16 but is taking college courses and will graduate this year.

Since today is Monday I wanted to share one of my favorite cat pictures:

Last, but certainly not least, here are some pictures of Lola taken by a friend of Trina's:

Don't you just love that face.

 Is that a yawn?

So adorable!
