Happy 68th Birthday James!
James got up early to take the car to Erik so he could see if it needed new motor mounts. Yes it does, but James thinks he can do it and save a little money.
I left with Sheri and her boys around 8am to go help clean the church. Cathi, Terry, and Colin came too. Max, Evan and I were assigned to empty the trashes throughout the church. We had so many people working that we were done in less than an hour, just in time for the Cubscout Pinewood Derby. Sheri invited Colin to stay but he had to leave early when his mom came to pick him up for a birthday party. He was quite upset that he couldn't stay.
James spent most of the Pinewood Derby time in a class room talking to Bill Valentic, but when I told Brooklyn Leib that it was Brother Lambson's birthday, she insisted on making him a card.
These two really love each other!
I know it's blurry, but I just had
to post this picture.
I love the smile and I love how
her outfit is color coordinated.
Back to the Pinewood Derby. I couldn't help taking a picture of Evan in the winner's circle when no one was looking.
This was before the races even started.
Seriously, Evan's car got most
realistic looking. Thanks dad. (Ian)
After the Pinewood Derby Ian, Sheri, and Evan took James and I to Mimi's to eat. I had the brioche french toast which was good, but next time I am going to get it stuffed with cream cheese.
Hi Evan!
Cathi went shopping at the Dress Barn this afternoon in preparation for her trip to L.A. on Monday. She says she only goes clothes shopping once a year, and this is it. She wants to look good when she goes to work at Mary's showroom. I loved the outfits she got. She will definitely look good!
Dave and Laura are in California this weekend visiting Kevin and his family. It is Alena's birthday. I am sure Dave and Laura had fun playing with Sofia and Lily.
James and I took a nap this afternoon before his party at Sheri's. James went to pick up Adam who wanted to come but didn't have a way. Everyone who lives in town was at the party except for Dallin and Jared Ammon.

Costco cake and lots of ice cream.
There was not one drop of cake left when the party was over.

It was so beautiful outside some of us went out in the backyard. Ruby, Addy, and Grandpa played croquet for awhile. Brian and Ben threw the football around. It was a fun and relaxing party.

Not so close grandpa!
Here, let me feed you one of your
Bass Pro cards.
James got over $285 in Bass Pro cards and Visa cards, including
a Bass Pro card from Terry & Cathi and a Visa card from
his mom and Dawn.
Darrel's family had to leave a little early because Addy is dancing at the Suns game tonight.
Go Addy!
Kylie and Addy
After the party James and I went to visit with his mom and Dawn. They had gifts for him and his mom had also made him an apricot pineapple pie, his favorite. I don't know how it got started, but James, his mom, and Dawn were all telling Pete the crow stories. I heard some things I had never heard before. Dawn said one day he was being a nuisance when she and Rebecca and Carmen were getting ready for school so Rebecca hit him with a hammer. They thought she had killed him because they never saw him again after that. James also said he had several other friends who had baby ravens, Pete was really a raven, not a crow, but none of the others lived. James fed Peter canned dogfood and he thrived on it.
Finally we got back to Terry and Cathi's and had a nice visit with them and the doggies before going to bed. It was a great day!
