A man in Germany attached 10,000

Easter eggs to his apple tree.

Gospel Quote:

"Do you believe in Jesus Christ and do you follow Him and the Father?  How powerful are the words: 'I believe in Jesus Christ!''

Elder Russell M. Ballard

At 6 this morning I looked out the window and saw 8 elk.  I immediately called James and he asked me if any of them had horns.  I had to go get the binoculars.  No, honey, I'm sorry they don't.  This is one of the reasons I open the blinds early in the morning.  The other reason is to see the sunrise. 

I didn't get a picture of the elk but this

picture of a heron was taken in

Arizona.

Jared sent me an email this morning in response to yesterdays family letter in which I asked for ideas for my talk on coming unto Christ and if anyone had ideas for family scripture study that they would like to share.  He gave me a link to a talk by Jeffrey R. Holland entitled "Come Unto Me", and he shared this idea for family scripture study: This was Tricia's idea and comes from her love of music.  They study a hymn along with their scriptures.  He says the kids are much more involved as a result.  What a good idea!

Also Trina set me Ruby's favorite colors which are: rainbow colors, black, pink, and purple.  I think she's got most of the colors covered.  Her favorite dessert is lemon cake but Trina can't recall when she's ever had it.  

 I love this picture of Cathi's daughter Wendy and her son Colter and Sheri and Max taken almost eleven years ago.

Colter was born on June 30th and Max on July 1st.

Don't you just love Max's sweet little face and his chubby cheeks!

James had a meeting with Greg Hatch today.  It looks like his job will be starting in the next couple of weeks.  We have been waiting since November to here that news!

I stayed home all day but I also stayed busy all day.  I paid bills and brought our financial records up to date.  At Diana Curtis's request I called the young women about the women's broadcast tomorrow night.  Most everyone will be going with their Mom's except Shelly (who went with her mom on Saturday), and Coty.  They will both be going with me.  Diana will try to make it back from Disneyland but might be too late.

James's meeting with Zaki went well this morning.  Zaki guaranteed that there would be no hearing with the Registrar of Contractors.  He says he's going to file for divorce soon. 

I go shopping for Josh's birthday and get one more gift for Rowan.  I get Joshua some Batman stuff because he told me that was what he wanted.  I also get Ro a Batman to go with his Ninjago dragon.  I go to Sprouts and Fry's for James.  I get some bread, although Sprouts didn't have the Alpine Valley bread that James likes, and at Fry's I get some cranberry celebration and some tuna salad.  I also get gas and my car washed at Sam's Club. 

Paul fixed the leak we had in the kitchen but Stacy says she thinks there is some mold and that she is getting sick from it.  I couldn't smell anything.

We leave for home around 10:40.  We stop at KFC in Payson for lunch.  When we get home we take a short nap.  I had to be at Young Women's at 5:30 to help Diana Curtis set up for our Personal Progress Pajama night.  Here are some pictures I took.  It was a fun night and the girls had a blast!!

A couple of cuties, Maddie and Trenda

Another cutie, Jordyn!

Fun and Games!

Hope and girls at the refreshment table. 

All of our refreshments started with a P.

It was a fun night. Those who attended: Diana Curtis, Analee Hunsaker, Kaeli Nicoll, Denice Hall and myself in the way of leaders.  The Young Women: Ashten Hall ( she's 8 and Sister Hall's daughter), Jordyn and Shelly Applegate, Trenda Wilhelm, Maddie Carroll, Alex Jones, Kilee and LeeAnn Hunsaker, Hope Lootan, and Kelly Reynolds.  I think Brother Smith was a little irritated because we were late finishing up.  

Ann Miller had a baby boy today.  They named him Hyrum.

Here are a couple of pictures I stole off the internet:

Dave's kids: Teresa, baby Wendy, Charlotte, and Kevin.

Kayla and Addy all dolled up for dance.
