I had wanted to go to the temple today but circumstances prevented it.
James and Alex took my car and went fishing at Silver Creek Fish Hatchery.  It closes on April 1st and won't open again until October so this is their last chance for awhile.  James didn't want to take his truck because of the problems it was having yesterday.  Before they left I made them a big breakfast of bacon, eggs, biscuits, and hashbrowns.
Of course Alex caught a fish although hardly anyone else was catching any.

Best catch of the day.

Back at home Brian, Kim, Joe, Ben, Max and I pay Five Crowns.  We started out on the back porch but when it got too cold we brought the game inside.  Joseph was the big winner.

James brought home burros from LaCasita.  I love him, and them!  Joe, Kim and Brian liked them too.

Well I was just waiting for my car to get back so I could go to town and get gas and groceries.  I bought pork chops, asparagus, Ranch Style beans, and rolls.  Brian and Kim shared their potato balls they got at Omaha steaks with us and we had a nice dinner.  I really can't get Ben and Max to eat much.  Max had a hotdog and Ben had some rolls and cereal.

I also bought season one of "Once Upon a Time."  James and I watched the first episode.  I think I am going to like it but I'm not sure he will.

James and Alex went fishing today at Silver Creek by the fish hatchery.  I guess they had a great time because they want to go back tomorrow.

Back at home Sheri, Ben, Max, Evan and I went on a Ranger ride.  We drove up the side of the "Pit" and parked the Ranger and walked to the swing.  Ben and Max have been looking forward to the swing. 

This swing goes out over the hill and it looks

like about a 30 foot drop to the ground.

 Max is flying.

Safely back on the ground.

Evan pushing Max.  

Gee I wonder what Sheri's doing?

Ben's turn.

I wonder if she can text and swing at the same time.

 Hanging on with both hands.

I think she had texting withdrawals.

Evan posing on the swing, but not swinging. 

No way!!

Evan kept asking to go down the pit.  So we finally left the swing, which he did not like, and Sheri took us for a ride down the pit on the Ranger.  It was fun because this time we didn't go from the top.  Last time I went from the top and it was too scary.

Evan loved it!

Cody and Dallin arrived this afternoon and so did Kim, Joe, and Michael.  Kim is helping my young women make cake pops this evening.  Sheri made 3 cakes and I made one to use for tonight.  

We had a house full of seven boys.  Some of them enjoyed playing Rockband.

Michael, Dallin, Joe, and Cody Miner.

The music put Evan to sleep.

After the young women got here the boys moved over to the other couch and played their guitars and sang.
