Happy Daylight Savings time.  James got up at 3:15 instead of 4:15 because his phone changed to daylight savings time.  Luckily mine didn't.  I think daylight savings time is silly.

James had a high council meeting this morning so he left a little after five.  I got up and decided to wash all the mud off my car with a bottle of watered down Windex and a whole roll of paper towels.  It was clean when I left for church but was twice as dirty when I got back home.  Maybe I should do what Brother Applegate says he does.  He waits until spring to wash his truck.
I made blueberry muffins for breakfast because Evan says he loves them.  Between the two of them, Josh and Evan they ate 10 muffins with Josh, who didn't really want them, eating the most.
LeeAnn Hunsaker gave a talk in church on the 13th Article of Faith and she did an awesome job!  The other talks were on FHE and were given by Ruth Wallace and Jerry Scott.  It was a good sacrament meeting.  The boys were a little whinny and wanted to go home instead of going to Primary.  I reminded them of their promise that they would go and when that was convincing them I gave this little speech.  "Evan, how many hours are in a day.  Evan: 24.  We are only at church for 3 hours so how many hours does that give us to play and do what we want?  21.  Wow!  That's alot!"  They went to Primary without complaining any more.
Two elk crossed the road in front of us on the way to church and there were about 30 or so more by the side of the road.  James only saw the two.  Also, I saw backyard bunny this morning and had to take a picture:

Far away.

Kaeli Nicoll gave the lesson in Young Women's on forgiveness.  It was really good.  There was a video of a man who lost his wife and two of his kids in a car accident caused by a teenage drunk driver.  Because of his faith in the Savior and the Atonement the man was able to forgive the teenager and help him turn his life around.  

James insisted that I drive his truck home and he would drive my car.  The mud was so bad I almost got sturck.  I drove as close as I could to the front door and carried the boys to the porch.  I got mud on my Sunday shoes.  The boys were so happy to be home.  They play so well together.  James is doing an audit at our ward so he wasn't home for another two hours.

When he got home we had roast, carrots, peas, biscuits, and salad for lunch. I tried to convince Evan that roast was just like steak.  He ate a little with some ketchup.  Later for a treat we had ice cream and Sprite.  

While the boys were playing James and I watched one of my favorite Hallmark movies, "Straight From the Heart."  Joshua borrowed my camera and took some pictures.  I had to edit them.  They took one picture of a naked Barbie.

Grandpa built a fire and the boys had a great time. After the boys went outside for awhile to play in the snow.  Here are some random pictures.  When it came time to go to bed they wanted to watch Chip and Dale.  I showed them how to turn it off when they were finisihed.  James and I went to bed.  I woke up an hour or so later and they were both fast asleep in bed.

The snow is melting quickly.

Horsing around.

A race for the bed?

Ready to watch a movie.

Gotta have some popcorn.

Fast asleep.
