The highlight of my day was going to Rowan and Evan's soccer game.  Joshua rode over with me and we met Ian, Evan, Trina, Rowan, Addy, Ruby, and James.  James, Addy, Ruby, Joshua and I found a shade tree up a little hill from the game.  It gave us the relief we needed from the sun.  Evan and Rowan are on the Purple Pirates team.  The game ended up in a tie but both boys gave it their all.  It was so cute, when Evan was out of the game he would come up on the hill and sit by us. 

Rowan is 2 and Evan is 8.

Taking a break with a little refreshment.

In other news today, I finished fertilizing the backyard, watered it, and finished sweeping the leaves off the backporch.  I also loaded 12 boxes in my car to take home.  

James and I drove home after the soccer game.  We went the Globe way and I ordered our burros from Burger House.  James gets the mixed green and I get the just green.  Delicious!!  

On another note there was some kind of motorcycle event today.  I saw lots of bikers.  At one of the restaurants in downtown Miami there was a big sign that said: LOOSE CANNON BIKE RUN.  Lots of bikes parked in front.  Here is just a small sampling of what I saw today:

Bikers doing the Loose Cannon Bike Run.

In other news Hunter Jensen, son of Laurie and Curt Jensen had his Eagle Scout Project today and here are some of the people who helped.

That's Dianna Dowdle in the front.

Michael and Sarah Sokevieta, former members of our ward in Chandler did the Warrior Dash today.

Does this look like fun to you?

Not me.

James and I got home at the same time, 3:30.  By 4:15 James was on his way to the priesthood leadership session of stake conference with Owen Peeler and Chuck Crane.

At 6:00 Kathy Crane picked me up and we also picked up Stefani Hunsaker, and Donna Peeler and we all rode together to the adult session of stake conference where we met our husbands.

Much of the conference was focused on families and the temple.  The highlight for me was two 18 year old boys who just received their mission calls singing "Come Unto Christ."  

On the way home from conference we rode with Kathy and Chuck Crane.  They wanted to stop at Dairy Queen for dinner so we did and saw several other people from conference there, including our friends the Peelers.  When we left Dairy Queen Chuck pulled out into the center yellow lined lane and waited for traffic.  A mile or so down the road he was stopped by a police officer who informed him that the yellow lane is only for left turns.  We all learned something and thank goodness Chuck only got a warning.

We went home and went to bed so we would be ready for another session of conference in the morning.
