Happy 11th Birthday Addy!

 Addy's candy cake.

 She loved it!

James and I picked up Alex at school today at 11:45.  We all went to lunch together to Jersey Mike's.  

 We also took my car into Chandler Auto Body to have some work done and rented a Chevy Cruz at Enterprise just down the street.  Our insurance is paying for the rental car.

I like this little car, to drive in the city that is. 

James had an appointment with his heart doctor, Dr. Memon this afternoon.  Dr. Memon wants him to build an 18,000 square foot building for him and then do all of the tenant improvements.  I told James he needed to go see Dr. Memon more often.

I left to go pick up Addy by myself this afternoon because James is finishing the light fixtures and mirror in the master bath.  I give Addy her cake, and we go back and pick up James and go to Cheesecake Factory for dinner.

Two of my favorite people!

After dinner we took James home and then Addy and I went shopping at Super Target in Gilbert.  

Earrings, a Barbie and Barbie clothes, and

a squealing pig.

Addy and I had so much fun together.  She told me stories about her life and I thoroughly enjoyed being with her.  She is a kind, thoughtful, and loving girl.

Michael's friend Alexis has a birthday this weekend too.  To celebrate she and Michael went to the D-Back's game.

Happy Birthday Alexis!

"I have noticed children quite naturally possess

attributes that we sometimes end up missing in our adult lives: an inner desire to do right, a sense of worth, the ability to be happy, a capacity to love, an innate sense of wisdom, and a deep and trusting faith."

-Brad Wilcox

 

I was up at 4:30 this morning to study.  Today was a very productive day for me.  I caught up on all the Lambson Construction bills which took a few hours  I finished cleaning out the closet downstairs for Michael.

 

In case you forgot what Michael looks like here

is a picture of him with his friend Alexis.





I went shopping and got the rest of the supplies I needed plus a few groceries  I came home and worked on my blog. 

 

I wanted to go visit Laura but David said she was not feeling well and it would be best to waiting until she was doing a little better.

I'm not sure who is he most excited!

So many gorgeous pictures this morning, I 

couldn't share just one.

 Mount Vernon

 

I couldn't share just one pictures.

It was a gorgeous morning!

These pictures were taken courtesy of Mr. James Lambson.

I kept James busy today.  This morning he installed a new toilet paper holder in our guest bathroom, and he fixed the broken leg on the chair that crumpled under me yesterday.  

My tire was flat again so we drove into town to get it fixed.  I read from The Book Thief.  So far my favorite character is Hans Hubermann.  When we got to Center Tire it was closed.  We went to the gas station to get air in the tire and James said he would fix the tire at home, and he did.  Woohoo for Mr. Fixit!!

On the way back to Vernon three fast cars passed us right in a row, all with black Cardinal Arizona license plates.  All three of them turned left on a dirt road just before getting to Vernon and never slowed down.  We wonder where they were going.  Kathy Crane told me that when she was in the Relief Society Presidency they  were never allowed to do any visits on that side of the highway because of the danger factor.  We wonder where they were going.

Sheri and her boys arrived around 4pm.  They brought green mixed burros with them.  After unloading their car we fixed some dinner.  I had put a roast in earlier and we shredded it for tacos.  I made refried beans and spanish rice.  We made nachos instead of tacos.  Delicious!  

After cleaning the kitchen Sheri and I watched Wind At My Back and When Calls the Heart.  We are so happy to have them here.  Ian is in Colorado snowboarding with Jason Ganem.
