This is a picture of my handsome grandson, Jared Ammon, and his girl Danielle. We don't get to see these two very often as they are both students at ASU. Jared also runs track and Danielle works. Jared and Danielle, we love you!

James and I went to the Mesa Temple today to do a session. James went in without his recommend. He lost it the last time we went to the temple. We had to wait at the front desk for someone for the recorders office to come up and take down his information. A few minutes later he was cleared to go in. Thank goodness for computers and scan codes. My friend Jacque Hatch was one of the ordinance workers in our session and she was actually my helper at the veil. After our session we had lunch in the cafeteria. I had the vegetable soup, 1/2 an egg salad sandwich and a piece of coconut cream pie. Yummy!

Watched Evan this afternoon while Sheri worked at Chandler Eyecare. I am going to close with a quote from Brother Jeff Chubbs as spoken in our gospel doctrine class on Sunday:
"Our hearts need to be pricked so they can be filled. We can't level out or quit trying in the gospel. We have to keep climbing and moving forward."

Walked to Walmart, worked in the yard, and began packing up the hall closet.
James had a meeting with the homeowner's association at Dobson Ranch today. He is getting ready to do some work there on April 23rd after all of the snowbirds go back to Canada. Thank goodness we have some work on the horizon.
I ate lots of cookies today and I am ashamed of myself. Sheri made oatmeal scotchies and I have a weakness for them. I ate many. Stacy made sugar cookies and I had one. It was a big one. I think I need to go off sugar. I am so proud of Joe for going off sugar and losing 25 lbs.
For dinner James and I went to Chili's because I had a gift card with a $10 balance on it. I made a good choice for dinner. I had the carribean salad with grilled shrimp. It was very tasty. James raved about the ribs and the broccoli he had.
James and I started a new Victoria Holt book this evening. This one is called Judas's Kiss. James says Victoria paints pictures with her words. I think we have somewhat replaced TV watching with reading.
Evan is so excited about our Easter egg hunt on Saturday. He can hardly wait and everyday he tells me how many more days until the Easter egg hunt.
