"I know that the Book of Mormon is true!

I cannot explain the power of this great book.

I only know that, coupled with prayer,

the Book of Mormon carries the power to protect families,

strengthen relationships, and give personal confidence

before the Lord."

-Linda S. Reeves

James's morning pour.

Trina spent most of the morning upstairs cleaning and changing sheets on the bed.  She does a great job.  Darrel took the kids on a Razr ride and this time he let Rowan do a little driving.  I put Lola to sleep and enjoyed watching her as she laid on my chest.  

Darrel's family all went for a walk and the kids brought me back a bouquet of flowers.  

Yesterday Darrel had to go in to work to count pills.  Today he goes in as the head pharmacist.  He left around 2.  Trina and the kids left shortly after Darrel did.

Karen, clean your lense!

I am going to miss these faces.

Addy playing with the Ipod

she got for her birthday.

Rowan got one too.

Ruby "making cookies."

Lola just being cute.

I think I thought something was wrong with my camera

and didn't even bother to check for a dirty lense.

 

After everyone left I cleaned the family room, living room, dining room and kitchen while watching "Chopped" and "Flip or Flop."

"What do I want my grandchildren to know?  I want them and you to know that I know the Savior lives and loves us.  He has paid the price for our sins, but we must kneel before our Father in heaven, in deep humility, confessing our sins, and plead with Him for forgiveness.  We must want to change our hearts and our desires and be humble enough to seek the help and forgiveness of those we may have hurt or forsaken."

-Sister Linda S. Reeves

James took Alex, Adam, and Seth out early this morning to look for coyotes.  Again they didn't see anything but they did come back hungry.  I made them french toast at Alex's request.  

James and I finished our book today, "As You Are", by Sarah Eden.

Trina and I visited the clubhouse with the kids this morning.  We were impressed that James had put up a log to anchor the tarp he put up for the roof.  How did he do it by himself?  Addy said he didn't, that she and Kayla had helped.  

A meeting of club members

Trina and Lola join the meeting.

A great place to think.

I was going to fix breakfast burros for the boys and James before they left for the valley.  James insisted that I take a nap with him and let the boys fix the burros themselves.  The boys did a good job and Adam fixed his special eggs and then James and the boys cleaned the kitchen.  They left for home around 4pm.

Fuzzy picture because I forgot to clean

my camera lens.  Also the sun was very bright.

Seth, Adam, and Alex.

Trina decided that she's staying until tomorrow because she doesn't want to fight the traffic going home today.  This afternoon Addy beat me in Five Crowns and she learned to drive the Razr.

 I watched Lola while the family went on their last ride together.

Addy told me that the cabin is her favorite place in the whole world!  You can imagine how good that made me feel!

Darrel had to leave for work around 2pm.  Trina got me converted to HGTV.  I am loving the show "Fixer Upper" and "Flip or Flop."

Addy, Rowan and I watched Master Chef.  While we were watching Trina opened the pantry door and saw a mouse.  She immediately texted Darrel and asked him to bring home a mouse trap.  

Miss Ruby put on Trina's glasses and pretended to read the Lambson family history book.

 I still don't realize that I have a smudge on my lens.

Sometimes I'm a little slow.
