3 Nephi 3:11-26
Why did Lachoneus admonish his people to pray?  After they prayed what did they do to fortify their lands and possessions?
Answer: He wanted them to repent and be right before the Lord so they could receive His blessings.  They gathered together with food and weapons.

GC: 'Look to the Book, Look to the Lord' by Elder Gary E. Stevenson
"Can you see the Book of Mormon as your keystone, your spiritual center of strength?"

The kids had a fort up on the hill but when they went up to clean it up they decided they wanted to build a different one, this time out in the flat under one of our "broccoli" trees.  (Alligator juniper).
Addy learned how to drive the Razr today.

Evan and Addy went to town with me because Max told Evan he needed to get some "tools" for the Lounge.  We stopped at Jack-in-the-Box for lunch for Evan.  He got his chicken strips, fries, and drink and brought them over to Taco Bell to eat with Addy and I.  Back at home James fixed grilled cheese sandwiches for Ruby, Max, and Rowan.  
When we got to Walmart we couldn't decide which "tools" Max wanted.
There were at least three aisles of tools.
Evan ended up getting some wood glue.
I also told Addy and Evan they could pick out a game.  Addy wanted the game of Life and Evan wanted Quelf.  Evan talked Addy into getting Quelf. 

The game was a little advanced and a little harsh for Ruby.  She didn't last long and then Rowan was the next to opt out.
 I think the game is for adults.  Addy had to sit on her
hands for part of the game.  
It ceases to be fun when people get their feelings hurt.

Just before dinner Ruby and Grandpa went out looking for elk.
This girl loves to ride the Razr with her grandpa.

For dinner this evening we had mac and cheese and hotdogs.  Afterwards everyone, except Addy, wanted to watch the movie,
"Over the Hedge."  Addy was a good sport.

you will face will be fought

Such sweet faces!

Paul posted this picture of Michael on Facebook while they were in San Diego.  It's really not fair to take a picture of someone who is sleeping.
 Michael and his teddy bear.

I couldn't resist

 Grandpa and Ruby playing the match game.
This girl is good!

It rained all day today so we had to think of things to do inside.
Addy worked on her puzzle
Trina and I helped a little.
We played with Lola.
 Two sweet faces!
Grandpa and Lola admiring each other.
Lola's shirt says:
"Born to wear diamonds"

We played games
 and
did some crafts

The kids watched some of their favorite
TV shows, Jesse, and Dog with a Blog.
Yes, Lola loves TV!

I worked on my lesson for young women's and read to James and watched Sue Thomas with him.  He turned on the fire in the fireplace for me.  

Trina and the kids took Darrel his dinner and then went shopping at Walmart.  Ruby came back with a Frozen Halloween costume that lights up, and Lola got lots of toys!

Brian, Kim, Joe, and Alex arrived after James and I had gone to bed.
