"I know of no single practice that will have a more salutary effect upon your lives than the practice of kneeling together as you begin and close each day. Somehow the little storms that seem to afflict every marriage are dissipated when, kneeling before the Lord, you thank him for one another, and then together invoke his blessings upon your lives, your home, your loved ones, and your dreams."
-President Gordon B. Hinckley

Kim, Brian, Joe, and Alex left around 5am for home this morning. Brian has to be at work by 9am. Alex and Joe said they really enjoyed hearing some of the stories from his life that grandpa told and they think he should write a book. I didn't get a picture of them before they left but here is a picture of Joe and Amanda.
James had an appointment with Dr. Moffat today. The doctor says his voicebox is still swollen and he has polyps that may need to be removed. James came home a little discouraged but he also brought two Pappa John's pizzas for lunch. Addy says she doesn't like Little Caesar's.
James went up to help the kids with the clubhouse.
These three have got big plans for the clubhouse.
Rowan says Addy gets the best chair because she is the president.
Another favorite pastime around here is looking for lizards. Well, at least for Rowan it is. Addy goes with him to be supportive.
And, of course, Ruby has to come too.
The kids and I took the Razr in to the post office to mail Jared Ammon's birthday card. Afterwards the kids wanted to chase jack rabbits but we were completely out of gas. James tried to syphon gas out of his truck but just couldn't do it so I went to Stanford and got some gas.
All of the firemen and their equipment are gone from Vernon. All that is left are the Thank You Firefighters signs.
James takes the kids on a rabbit hunt but they don't see any. James says they are hiding because of the rain and cool weather.
The kids had hotdogs and mac and cheese for dinner. No one wants to take a bath so we pack their suitcases. They are leaving early in the morning for home with grandpa. Rowan was being silly.
The underwear outfit.
Addy and Rowan watched Harry Potter 6 while Ruby and I watched Tom and Jerry in the bedroom.
These boys are at football camp in Show Low right now.
Ben and his best friend, Ian Wanlass.
