"Seek Ye Out of the Best Books"
Elder Ian S. Arden
" It is the very essence of religion not to have a sure answer to every question, for this is one of the purposes of faith. In that regard, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland has taught us that 'when those moments come and issues surface, the resolution of which is not immediately forthcoming, hold fast to what you already know and stand strong until additional knowledge comes.'"
We had about 20 elk walk across our yard this morning between 8-8:30. They were walking back up the hill to bed down for the day.
After my gospel study this morning I began getting ready to go to the valley. I got out my red pot, two crockpots, the ham roaster, utensils, the ricer and the food I need to take with us. I also boiled some eggs for coloring. I watered my plants, packed a box with snacks, and finished up Stacy's basket. It looked like this:
Pink little Lambie!
We left at 11:47 and James already has 10,000 steps. He worked outside and sprayed off the car and the garage.
It is a beautiful day, no wind, sunny, and 50 degrees. We stopped at Burger House and got a couple of burros. James needs some Biotene so we stopped at the Walgreen's in Apache Junction.
I got two Tofifay's, one for Stacy and one for us, and some Biotene although they didn't have the little spray bottle.
From Walgreen's we went on to Darrel's to unload. It is 85 degrees. Yikes! As soon as we got unloaded we drove over to Chandler to the Enterprise on north Arizona Avenue. We had pre-registered and we were signed up at the one in south Chandler so we drove to the one on Germann and Alma School inside Cobblestone Carwash.
We were there for over an hour. The service was so slow. Finally we came away with a Toyota Camry. James drove Lexy to Erik's and I drove the rental to pick him up.
Our next stop was at Stacy's. We gave her the basket and she loved it. James had to make an egg with Joshua's egg spinner.
Such concentration.
Can you find his egg?
Since Stacy is going in the morning to have surgery Paul and James gave her a priesthood blessing. Paul anointed and James gave the blessing. It was sweet.
We got back on the 202 and headed east to Darrel and Trina's. We stopped at the Sweet Tomatoes on Power Rd. and had some dinner.
I had asked the kids to help me fill my Easter eggs. I had seven different colored plastic eggs and I originally was going to assign a color to each kid. Ruby picked the sparkly ones and that made Lola cry. We gave a couple to Lola and then Ruby got upset about something and laid over on the couch the rest of the evening. I felt bad but didn't know what to do. I did everything I could think of to make her happy. I think she was tired. Rowan and Addy and I had fun filling the eggs. Rowan is hilarious. He put a small amount of candy in one egg with a note that said: "I bet you wish there was more."
Lois had cataracts removed from her right
eye today.
This was three years ago in March.
More from last year at Buckulieu Springs.
Silly kids!
I showed this to Ruby and she loved it.
Kyler, Jasmine's baby.

Our new book.
She is one of our favorite authors.
