Why do I have so many pictures of Addy you might ask.

Because she posts them on Instagram and I borrow them.

She is very happy that school is out.

The kids in Chandler still have school but today is a party day.

Max made this game for his class to play.  What kind of a ball did he have for this game.  A football, of course!

Addy and Max will both be in sixth grade next year.

 

James left for the cabin early this morning.  Adam and his friends are going up this weekend and we felt like someone should be there with them.  Of course the first thing Adam wanted to do when he got there was ride the Razr.  James says he feels like he has strep throat.  Oh dear it's probably from all that river water he swallowed last week.  I can pretty much plan on him being sick the next week after he goes to the Black River.

 

This morning I was going to go to the temple but I just wasn't feeling well so I took some Tramadol and went back to bed.  Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. 

 

This afternoon I cleaned out the canned food cupboard.  Much of the food had expired and I had to trash it. 

 

This evening I worked on constitution lesson number 5.

Joshua wanted to know if the groundhog saw his shadow today so we checked the weather in York, Pennsylvania.  Since it was snowing we figured the groundhog did not see his shadow and that meant we would have an early spring.  He was happy with that answer.

I worked in the yard this morning picking up all the piles of leaves I left yesterday.  Dallin and Michael came out to help me and Michael made two trips to the dump with James.  If feels good to have so much of the cleanup done but I am so sad that everything in the yard is dead. 

Around 11 am I went in to Big Two Toyota to co-sign on a car loan for Jared Ammon.  I am confident he will make the payments but he just doesn't have any credit yet.  He is working two jobs and his payment is only $200 a month. 

I stopped at Chik-fil-a and got some nuggets and strips to take to Max's football game.  Since James didn't make it to the game I shared the nuggets with Sheri, Ian and her friend Kahuea and her boys.  I saved James some strips.  Max's team lost.

Evanism: As he and his Mom drive past In n Out Burger Evan says: " Man, I love that place.  It makes my taste buds burst."

On the way home to Vernon I picked up KayLynn Hunsaker Riley and her daughter Cali.  They are riding home with me.  KayLynn is babysitting for her parents while they go to The World of Concrete show in Las Vegas.  She is a cute girl and I enjoyed visiting with her.  We got home around 6 pm. 

When I walked in the door at home James had a cup of hot peppermint tea for me.  He had a fire in the fireplace and he unloaded my car for me.  Such service.  Oh yes, he also bought me a green chile burro from Burger House which I had for dinner.  After settling in we sat down to watch some TV.  We watched two of James's favorite shows: "Person of Interest" and "Elementary."  I am afraid I fell asleep.

I love this quote from Elder Cornish's General Conference address:
"It is as tragic to think we are too sinful to pray as it is for a sick person to believe he is too sick to go to the doctor!"
James took two of his boys from the Teacher's quorum to run a mile at the Chandler track this morning. It's part of a merit badge requirement. The two boys, Alex Braddock and Andy Tachecki came here afterwards for cinnamon rolls, strawberries, and freshly squeezed orange juice.
James and I went to Max's flag football game. Max made an interception right at the beginning of the game, but it got called back. Max didn't play any offense and sadly his team lost 21-0.
Today at 4pm James and I both attended a Worldwide Leadership training put on by the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles via satellite. The main emphasis was on strengthening families and individuals. My favorite speaker was President Dieter F. Uchtdorf. He is so powerful and I really felt the Spirit. He ended by telling us we need to pray, ponder, and follow up on commitments and pray daily for further light and direction.
Darrel and his kids came over this evening. I sent Trina's birthday gift home with them: A Target gift card, a mug full of chocolate, and a candle. I gave Addy and Ruby both "journals" and pens. Addy wrote all about her day. Ruby wrote in her journal too but I'm not sure what it said.
It was a fun day.
