Happy 7th Birthday to Rowan!!
I love this boy!!
I was up at 4:25am to get ready for the temple. We are meeting at the Church by 5:30. I have to take the mattress out of the back of my car and put the seats up. Trenda and Hope ride with me. Hope spent the night at Trenda's house. This is only the second time that Hope has been to the temple. We have seven young women, LeeAnn, Kilee, Hope, Maddie, Trenda, Shelly, and Jordyn, and one young adult, Mary Swift that go with us. There were only four boys, Westin, Tyler, Talon, and Jace.
My assignment is to be in the confirmation room with the girls. Mel Wilhelm, Sean Hunsaker and Phil Duggins do the confirmations. Diana Curtis handed out towels and Ruth Wilhelm stayed in the dressing room. Here is a couple of pictures of some of our youth.

After the temple we went to El Cupido's for lunch. On the way over there was a guy working in his yard and LeeAnn let out a loud wolf whistle. The guy responded and the girls got such a kick out of it. LeeAnn can really whistle. I am going to remember that for future reference. I bought Maddie and LeeAnn lunch and they ride home with me.
When I get back to the cabin everyone, including James, is enjoying the brunch that Brian and Kim made. Brian, Kim, Joe, and Alex go on a Razr ride and get splattered with mud. We really do need those mud flaps that James ordered.
Alex and Joe have a confession to make. They tell us a sad tale of something they did. Our reaction was pretty mild compared to what it could have been. I told them both I loved them, but I was sorry that I didn't trust them and it would take them awhile to earn back that trust. They both gave us a hug and I think they were relieved we didn't yell at them.
Kim and I visit and play Five Crowns. Stacy calls, she says Cody has been in trouble and she's afraid that Dallin is following in his footsteps. Bunny went to the temple and put their names on the prayer roll. What is happening to our grandchildren?
Brian buys some gas for the Razr and Kim takes Alex and Joe on a ride to Christmas Tree Trail. Just like James and I were, she is sad they have cut down so many of the little trees. It's hardly recognizable as Christmas Tree Trail anymore.
Brian cooks burgers for dinner. I make some lemon brownies. James has some of our left over chicken as he didn't want a burger.
It rains tonight and the skies are gorgeous. Kim, Brian, James and I can't take enough pictures. There is a beautiful view every way that we turn!
I took several more pictures but these are the best.
I called Rowan to wish him a happy birthday and Darrel informed me that Trina's mom took Rowan shopping and bought him the same thing I did. Now I have to get something else or give him some money. I was pretty disappointed.
Brian won our Five Crown game when everyone except Alex played.
