Jesus Christ Authority of
Ether 3:14
Behold, I am he who was prepared from the foundation of the world to redeem y people. Behold, I am Jesus Christ. I am the Father and the Son. In me shall all mankind have life, and that eternally, even they who shall believe on my name; and they shall become my sons and my daughters. 
Book of Mormon
Jarom 1:1-15
* How can we stay out of the pride cycle, even when we are prosperous?
Old Testament
Deuteronomy 27-28
27 The children of Israel are to cross the Jordan, build an altar, and worship the Lord - They are the Lord's people but will be cursed if they do not obey Him.
28 If the children of Israel are obedient, they will be blessed temporally and spiritually - If they are disobedient, they will be cursed, smitten, and destroyed; diseases, plagues, and oppression will come upon them; they will serve false gods and become a byword among all nations; fierce nations will enslave them; and they will eat their own children and be scattered among all nations.
General Conference
Love One Another as He Has Loved Us
Elder Jose L. Alonso
" President Thomas S. Monson has counseled us, saying, 'Let us examine our lives and determine to follow the Savior's example by being kind, loving, and charitable.'"



Today is Good Friday. I wonder why it is called Good Friday when this is the day that the Savior suffered on the cross. 

Rowan and Ruby went with us this morning while Addy, Trina and Lola went on a walk. Actually, Addy roller bladed, Trina jogged and Lola rode in the jogging stroller. 

The first thing we did on our drive was stop at the bank to get some cash to pay Erik for fixing the shocks on our car. I brought my checkbook but I was all out of checks. We got $400 and paid him $380. James took Lexy from Erik's to Chandler Auto Body while I went to Stacy's to pick up Joshua and take him to Sheri's. James finished before we did so he started walking south on Arizona Avenue. We picked him up by Ray Rd. 

Kim took Stacy to the surgery center earlier this morning to have surgery on her foot. Paul will pick her up and take her home. 

After picking up James we drove to Tempe to see Lois and Dawn. Lois had cataracts removed from her left eye yesterday. It is the eye she can't see out of anyway so I'm not sure why they felt the need to remove cataracts. Dawn and Lois were both happy to see us and to see Rowan and Ruby as well. 

Lois fed us lunch. Ruby and I had a turkey and cheese sandwich, chips, and pineapple upside down cake. Rowan had some cake and cantaloupe. I think James had a little of everything.

On our way back to Chandler we stopped at Dollar Tree to pick up some goodies we thought we might put in the Easter eggs. We stopped at Sheri's for the egg coloring activity. Joshua's egg spinner was a big hit especially with Darrel and Trina's kids. Sheri was making rolls while we were there. 

When we got back to Darrel and Trina's James and I went upstairs to take a nap. While we were napping Suzy came to pick up the kids. They are having a cousin sleepover at her house tonight. Lola said to her: "Do you want to go upstairs and see my grandma and grandpa sleeping?" I am glad she declined. 

Trina and I went shopping this evening. Darrel was at work and James went for a walk. Trina had planned on using the massage coupon Darrel got her for her birthday tonight at Massage Envy but they wouldn't let her because even though she had the confirmation number she didn't have the original email. She was pretty upset and so was Darrel. When he got home he sent her the email. I think she will be going back very soon.

James and I were up until midnight making a double batch of Easter beans. Tomorrow I will make the ham and two kinds of potatoes.

I was walking and it turned midnight before
I reached 10,000.





I think this is what James was doing when 
he wrecked my car.

Winter or "Winnie" as her family calls her.

I saw this picture at Lois's and I had to copy it.
I love it!

I think I need to get him one next year.

I loaded my car with Easter candy, buckets of eggs, and mini Book of Mormons.  I left around 10:30 and was so happy I didn't have to winterize!  As I pulled out of the driveway there were three antelope staring at me from the side yard.  As I slowly pull out I see that they brought their friends.  There is a herd of about 15 or 20 antelope in my yard.  I tried to get pictures but they were spooked and ran.  They looked so beautiful!
I need a camera with a telephoto lens!

I stopped for lunch at Arby's in Payson.  As soon as I got to the house in Chandler I unloaded all my goodies and then went down to Sheri's where she and her boys and Kim and Joshua were coloring eggs.  I think Joseph was out running.

You're never to old to color Easter eggs.
I loved the neon colors!

After the egg coloring I went back to the house and got "Peep" buckets and Book of Mormon's ready for Jared's kids.  I wrote all of them a personal note and attached it to the Book of Mormon.

I went to Sam's Club and got gas and my car washed and did some shopping for tomorrow's lunch when Tricia called and said they were back from eating dinner.  I went home and unloaded and drove to the Mesa Temple.  There were crowds of people and cars everywhere.  I met James and Tricia over by the family history center and gave them the goods.  I didn't even get out of the car but I did give each of them a hug.
On the way home I stopped at Panda Express and got some dinner for James and I.
Oh yes, the yard guy and his boys didn't get our yard finished because his weedeater broke down.  He said he would come back and finish on Monday.  It's good enough for our Easter egg hunt tomorrow.
