"Inasmuch as the trend in society today is rapidly moving away from the values and principles the Lord has given us, we will almost certainly be called upon to defend that which we believe. Will we have the courage to do so?"
-President Thomas S. Monson
James crew poured again around 1:30 this morning at
the Chandler Airport on the Hatch Hanger job.

Joshua and I took Stacy on a Razr ride today. Joshua has on his new helmet. We took the 61 up to Christmas Tree Trail and then headed back down the mountain on the 404. They are already starting to clear out trees that burned close to the road. One of the things Stacy wanted to see while she was here was an elk. She told Joshua how whenever we came to the mountains her dad (grandpa) would always have the kids look for elk and deer and would offer them a prize if they found any. Sadly an elk ran across the road in front of us about 50 yards away and she missed it. She was so disappointed. She also wanted to see some clouds and she wasn't disappointed!
Sometimes the clouds seen so close you
almost think you could reach out and touch them.
After our ride Stacy came home and took a nap.
While Stacy was sleeping Joshua and I took pictures of some of the things he enjoyed doing while he was here. He played Hedbanz with the Trezise boys and then again with his mom.
Max, Evan and Joshua played a game where they took one of the balloons from Boom, Boom, Balloon and dropped it from upstairs and then they tried to run downstairs and catch it before it touched the ground.
This time Joshua isn't running, he's just watching the balloon fall.
I guess Joshua isn't going to make it to meet the teacher which starts at 4. He has the same teacher as last year so he will be fine.
Stacy and Joshua followed me into Show Low on their way home and we stopped at LaCasita for lunch. I had my usual, chicken enchilada with green sauce and refried beans.
Stacy and Paul are keeping Tara's car. She has gotten married and
moved to London.
I am glad Stacy got to come up. She hasn't been here for 3 years. I think she had a good time although she was here less than 24 hours. I know I enjoyed having her here.
On my way back home a truck was going too fast on the dirt road and flipped a rock on my windshield and left a crack. I am so sad. Poor Lexy.
In other news the Crane's killed a rattlesnake in their garden today. I guess we need to be more careful when we go outside, especially when the grand kids are here.
I watched the top 18 perform on So You Think You Can Dance. I liked Jacque and Zack's hiphop and Emilio and Bridget's dance to "Happy" which was choreographed by Anya and Pasha.
James got home around 9:30. He was pulling a tractor up so it was slow going. We watched Rizzoli & Isles and decided we weren't going to tape it anymore because it's too liberal and a little bloody and violent.
Only one shower in our house works right now.
