Someone I admire very much.

After reading scriptures with James and having family prayer, we drove to town to see Dr. Moffat.  James is very sick with bronchitis.  While I was waiting for him I read a chapter from "A Witness and a Warning", President Benson's book about the Book of Mormon.  It was chapter 8, entitled, Be Faithful in Christ.  I felt the Spirit as I read this chapter.

While we were waiting for James's antibiotic that Dr. Moffat prescribed to be filled at CVS, we went to Arby's for lunch.  According to Dr. Moffat the antibiotic is a very strong one and James only has to take it for five days.  

On the way home I read from "The Governess of Highland Hall."  We stopped at the post office.  Our 2013 taxes are ready.  Thankfully we only owe a small amount of money.  2014 will be very different because of the Hatch Hangar job.

James went home and took his medicine and laid down for a nap.  The doctor told him he shouldn't go anywhere.  

I watched an episode of "Last Man Standing" and then took a nap before I started my afternoon activities.  I worked on my blog and studied my Primary lesson.  I also emptied one box from the garage. 

For dinner I fixed pork chops, asparagus, and whole wheat English muffins.  It was a tasty dinner. 

James and I watched a Hallmark movie we had seen before, "June to January".  I liked it again, especially because Wes Brown was the star.

We are all so grateful for the snow!

Sheri, Joe, Alex, Michael and I made a trip to town for drugs and drinks.  Alex needed some drugs for his cold.  Sheri didn't want to drive, so I drove.  We went to Safeway and then to Circle K for Polar Pops and hot chocolate.  It was cold today.  

As I was coming back into Vernon from the highway, I slid around the corner a little.  Luckily I did not go off the road.  

Again today there were sled rides, Magic games, Five Crowns, and Rockband.  Evan also played on his Nintendo DS and Evan, Max, and Ian had a Nerf gun fight until Max bumped and hurt his head.  

 I think this was a game of Hearts.

Alex loves playing Hearts.

An intense Rockband session

More Rockband

It was a wonderful afternoon full of snow flurries!  We absolutely loved watching it snow!  James and I watched "Christmas in Canaan"  and I think it was my all time favorite Christmas movie that I watched this year.  I wish I would have invited Sheri and Kim in to watch it, but they were busy with their families.

James gave both Ben and Max a haircut today.  We had pork chops for dinner.  Alex cooked some and so did James.  They were delicious.

I cancelled my infusion appointment for Monday because I am still sick.

We received the news today that one of our friends from Chandler, Niles Dutson passed away.  He would have been 71 next week.  He had a heart attack.
