Happy Father's Day

They say a man's home is his castle...I think

James feels like our Vernon home is his castle.

 

James's request for breakfast was my scrambled eggs.  I was glad I felt well enough to fulfill that request.  After breakfast we prepared for our Primary lesson until it was time to leave for church.  There was only one problem...James can't remember where he put the car keys and we can't find them.  Finally we left with Michael in the Montero.  Stacy, Paul, and Joshua went in the red car. 

 

Brother Coleman from the high counsel spoke in sacrament meeting on keeping the Sabbath day holy.  His companion, Brother Virga spoke on the plan of salvation.  Julie Turvey sang, "Where Can I Turn for Peace".  It was beautiful! 

 

We had five children in our Primary class today: Brielle, whom we haven't seen for several weeks, Brooklyn, Taylor, Isaiah, and Liam.  Oh, I forgot to mention that James told the story in sharing time today about Brother Warren Petersen saving him from a burning house when he was a baby.  The kids, teachers, and leaders all loved it!

 

We had pesto flatbread with tomato and cheese grilled in the oven for lunch at James's request and then we went in to take a nap. Sheri dropped by a card and Olive Garden gift card on their way to see Ian's parents.

 I was shocked when I finally woke up and saw that it was 7pm. Kim had come by to see us and waited 40 minutes and finally left.  Later she brought by a card and giftcard to Cheesecake Factory. 

Jared called and talked to James for quite awhile he also sent him a book.

I guess Darrel tried to call but couldn't get through.  He had to work today and then he, Trina and the kids all left to spend the night at Flagstaff and then go on to the Grand Canyon tomorrow.

As we get ready for bed, we are still looking for the keys to my car.

 Alma 17:3

...they had given themselves to much prayer, and fasting; therefore they had the spirit of prophecy, and the spirit of revelation, and when they taught, they taught with power and authority of God.

Happy Father's Day!

James got: new shoes, two new pair of jeans, two new shirts, Nutella, a Bass Pro shop card from me and Kim and Brian, candy and a sweet card from Sheri, and a book from Jared about Abraham Lincoln and the Book of Mormon.

Sy Westbrook, Collin DeWitt, and George Wallace were the speakers in sacrament meeting today.  We especially enjoyed Collin's talk as he interviewed several of the children in our ward about their fathers.  It was quite entertaining.  After sacrament meeting the Relief Society handed out bags of cookies to all the men and young men too.

In Sunday School we learned about Ruth and Hannah and Sandra Wilhelm gave the lesson in Young Women's on the keys of the Priesthood.  We also had setting aparts for our new class presidencies for those who were here.  Alice Wilhelm is the Beehive class president and Heaven is her secretary.  Kilee Hunsaker is the Mia Maid class president and Maddie Carroll is her secretary.  Trenda Wilhelm is the Laurel class president and Jordyn Applegate is her secretary.  Kilee, Maddie, and Trenda were not here today.  

I sold my iphone 4 to Alice Wilhelm for $10.  She is so excited about it.  I know it's worth alot more than that but it was worth it to see her so happy.

James's special meal for today consisted of potatoes and eggs. I wanted to stop on the way home yesterday and get some steaks but he didn't want me to.  He was very happy with the meal.  Sometimes the simple things are the best.  We had a long nap today.  It was wonderful to be able to spend the entire day with my sweetheart.  He is such a good husband, dad and grandpa and I love him!

A couple of other great dads,

James's brother Gail and his son Aaron.

Molly's in California, can you tell,

she's gone gangsta.
