"When you choose whether to make or keep a covenant with God, you choose whether you will leave an inheritance of hope to those who might follow your example."

-President Henry B. Eyring

Room 338 at the Hampton Inn in Chandler.

We had a nice breakfast this morning before Adam picked up James to go to work.  Adam joined us for breakfast. 

 Trina was scheduled to go in at 7:30 to Gilbert Mercy.  They told her to call first and when she called they said they had no beds available.  She finally gets to go in around 12:30. 

James finished work around 12:30 and we went to lunch at Olive Garden.  I had the stuffed chicken marsala.  

With a lunch like this who needs dinner.

After lunch we went to see Trina at the hospital.  She was taking a 40 minute walk per the doctor's orders.  We left and said we would back in a couple of hours.  This was at 3pm.  James was tired and wanted to go back to the hotel for a nap.  We stopped at Deseret Book and bought Brad Wilcox's book "The Continuous Atonement."  I am almost finished with "The Continuous Conversion".  

As we were resting at the hotel I got a text from Darrel around 5:30 saying that the baby had been born.  We were back at the hospital by 6pm.  Trina is so awesome.  Although she was in hard labor she didn't have an epidural.  She had said she didn't want one and then she changed her mind but it was too late because the anithesiologist was in a helping someone with a c-section.  Trina gave birth in room 317 at the Mercy Gilbert Medical Center in Gilbert, Arizona.

On the way back to the hotel we stopped at Sheri's for some blueberry pie.  It was delicious!!  The crust was the best I have ever tasted.  I need to get the recipe from Sheri.  

We watched some fireworks from our hotel window, but who needs fireworks when you have a new baby.  Best 4th of July ever!

Oath of a Pharmacist

I promise to devote myself to a lifetime of service to others

through the profession of pharmacy.  In fulfilling this vow:

I will consider the welfare of humanity and relief

of suffering my primary concerns.

I will apply my knowledge, experience, and skills to do the best

of my ability to assure optimal outcomes for my patients.

I will respect and protect all personal and health information

entrusted to me.

I will accept the lifelong obligation to improve my professional

knowledge and competence.

I will hold myself and my colleagues to the highest principles

of our profession's moral, ethical, and legal conduct.

I will embrace and advocate changes that improve patient care.

I will utilize my knowledge, skills, experiences, and values to prepare the 

next generation of pharmacists.

I take these vows voluntarily with the full realization of the responsibility with 

which I am entrusted by the public.

Darrel took this oath at his graduation this morning.  James, Trina and I attended the graduation and we couldn't be prouder.  Darrel was in an accelerated four year program that finished in three years. 

Darrel getting his diploma.

 Through a team effort Darrel was able to accomplish this important goal.  Trina was his teammate.  She worked while Darrel went to school, worked and babysat.  We are so very proud of both of them.

After the graduation ceremony we took Darrel and Trina to Olive Garden for lunch.  

Back at home James works on a bid while I go grocery shopping with Stacy at Walmart.  When we got home Ben, Max, Evan and Joshua were swimming.  Joshua got in trouble for telling Ben he asked his mom when he really did not. 

I made calico beans for Darrel's party this evening. It was a family party with Trina's parents, Lexi and her kids and us and Sheri and her boys, Kim and Joseph, and Stacy, Paul, Michael and Joshua.  Joseph left early to see his girlfriend.  I barely got to see him.  The surprise of the party was Alex's shaved head.  I barely recognized him.  Hopefully his hair will grow back quickly.

Kim took a picture of Darrel with his cake. 

The second Dr. Lambson in our family.

Trina showed me some pictures of Ruby skateboarding which gave me an idea for Emmy's birthday present.  I texted Jared and Tricia and they both thought a skateboard was a great idea.

Back at home Dallin was playing his guitar.  James shared some Ventures guitar music with him.
