"The Son of Man came to save that which was lost."

-Matthew 18:11

 

I polished the wood floors in the kitchen and family room and ran out of polish when I got to the entryway.  I made a trip to the store to get some more polish but when I got home there were too many people home to finish polishing so I just gave it up. 

I had a short nap and then on to pick up Ben, Evan, and Joshua.

 

When I came back into the neighborhood I noticed that James had dropped a bucket of paint and a florescent lightbulb in the road.  The lightbulb had shattered so I grabbed a broom, dustpan and garbage sack to go clean it up.  Sal Jiminez's son, Christian, who is a junior in high school saw me outside working and he came out to help,  which I thought was very thoughtful.  I had a nice visit with him and then I told him I would finish up.  It took me awhile to get all the glass I could see.  I also swept up a lot of dirt and rocks along with the glass.  When James returned from the dump he said he didn't even realize he had lost any of his load.  

 

Stacy is doing a good clean of her room this afternoon.  I cleaned the Christmas closet and the downstairs office.  

 

Bishop Lewis took Paul, Dallin, and Michael to see the movie  "McFarland USA" and then they all went out to dinner at Olive Garden. 

 

James and I had Pei Wei for dinner.  I love their lettuce wraps ad spicy chicken salad.

 

My hands hurt so bad tonight.  I was pretty miserable.  Thank goodness I am getting a Remicade infusion tomorrow.  

I read to James from "The Line that Divides."

I usually don't like books about war

but this one is good.

 

James had to go check the church around 9:30.  Sorry, but I was just too miserable to go with him.  He was pretty sad when he left because he wrecked his truck today at the dump.

These two boys get to play together almost everyday.  They love Legos and they love creating things with the blocks.  Here is one of their latest creations.  The only thing that would make it better is if Rowan lived a little closer and could play with them.

 

 

James and I picked up our check from the sale of the land at Title 365 this morning.  We immediately took it to the bank and deposited it.  Afterwards we went to Sonic and used our two for one cheeseburger coupon. 

 

James worked on Joshua's bed today. 

Hmmm, I wonder if that tool is at the cabin.

Almost finished!

 

After the bed project it was time to relax a little and enjoy one of his favorite treats:

A Healthy Choice fudgsicle

Today I paid bills, painted, worked on my blog, took a nap, and dropped some items off at Goodwill and then went shopping at Walmart. 

 

Stacy, Paul, and Joshua went to the Blue & Gold Banquet this evenng.  Here is the invitation Joshua made:

A three-eyed minion

 

Evan didn't go to the banquet because Sheri had to take Max to football practice and he didn't want to go without her. 

Hanging out at football practice

 

James and I had roasted chicken and broccoli for dinner.  I buy a roasted chicken and a bag of broccoli on the day I go grocery shopping and it makes for a quick and easy meal.  When Joshua returned from the Blue & Gold Banquet he asked for some broccoli.  The kid loves broccoli. 

 

Michael took my car to Mutual tonight and gave Alex and Ben a ride. 

 

The basement floor got wet today when Alex hosed down the carport.  James had to pull up the carpet and put fans on it. 

 

Here is a picture of Joshua in his new bed. 

 

He loves it!

Happy Birthday Trina!

 

I agree with Sheri on this one!

 

I took Trina a journal, a dozen brownies from Kneaders, and gift certificates from one of her favorite restaurants, Chopshop and one of her favorite stores, Hobby Lobby.



Lola really wanted to try a brownie!

Such a cutie.  None of the other kids were home from school yet when I went to see Trina.

When I left Trina and Darrel's I noticed that

Brownie, their bunny was at the neighbors house trying

to dig a hole to cool off in.  He is a long haired bunny.

 

Chandler schools had early dismissal today for parent-teacher conferences.  I took Joshua, Evan and Max to Peter Piper Pizza.  The one on Queen Creek Rd. was too busy so we went to the newly remodeled one on Chandler Blvd. and Dobson.  The kids weren't happy with the fact that they no longer had their playground.

 

Crazy Kids!

 

I made stuffing and pork chops for dinner tonight.  They were quite tasty.  Of course I had to have some applesauce to go with my pork chops. 

 

James erased files from his computer today and accidentally erased some of his pictures.  He has a love/hate relationship with his computer.

 

I wonder, did I live my religion today?
