Happy 10th Birthday to Rowan!
Rowan is a smart, loving, kind, and adventurous boy.
Right now he loves Harry Potter and Legos.
James left early for high council this morning. I had to take a picture of him in his new suit.
He looks so handsome, and yes,
that is a purple tie!
Before church this morning I made french toast for breakfast and put five racks of ribs in the oven at a low heat. They will be ready to eat when we get home from church.
Talon Wilhelm, Cambri Westbrook and Ed Miller were the speakers in sacrament meeting. Jared and his kids and Richie all attended with us all three hours. Alice took Anna to Sunday School and Young Women's. Jared came with us to Sunday School where Bro. Wilhelm taught the lesson about Elijah. The Primary sang Happy Birthday to Molly. She said is was her third Happy Birthday party. The first was at Ruby's church, the second on Friday, and when she gets home she gets another party. Randa Covert gave the lesson in Young Women's about eternal marriage.
When we got home the ribs were ready to eat. I think they were a hit.
Of course the kids wanted to go on more Razr rides before they left to go home. Jared took them to the pit. It was Richie's first time. I got to talk to him a little about his conversion. He really is a nice guy.
It really looked like it was going to rain this afternoon. It was overcast but never did rain. Finally it was time to say goodbye.
I'm going to miss them.
Emmy?
Here are some things I learned about these grandkids while they were here:
James - He loves to give hugs and is very sweet. He loves to read about military missions and watch military documentaries. He can play the piano and the guitar. He says he wants to be a cage fighter. I hope not.
Anna - loves to read scriptures and then discuss with her dad what she has read. She loves dogs and cop shows. She says her best friend is her dog Penny.
Emmy - Loves to be active. She was either playing on the walker, using it a monkey bars or bouncing a ball most of the time she was here. She is a tether ball champ. She also loves to play math games on the computer. One of her favorite sites is Sum Dog. She also can do her own hair and does a fantastic job!
Molly - When you say something to her she says: "Seriously?" Is a little cranky when she is tired. She loves to have her nails painted and wear lipstick. Every time she went outside she brought me back flowers which melted my heart. Here is my bouquet:
This evening after our El Paso visitors left we had some other visitors.
The herd.
James and I finished our book "A Glimmer of Hope." We both really liked the story and will soon start another Sarah Eden book.
James heated up some enchiladas and we watched a Hallmark move, "For Better or for Worse." I fell asleep but that's ok because I had already seen it. It was a wonderful Sabbath day.
