Ten states held their Republican primaries today. Mitt Romney came out on top but it's still a close race. He has 217 delegates and he needs 1, 144 to get the nomination. Rick Santorum is his closest contender.
It was soup day for me. I made homemade chicken noodle soup for two families in our ward who have been dealing with sickness. Bev Hermann has a grandson in the hospital and she has been babysitting all week spending much of her time at the hospital. James delivered soup and rolls to them this afternoon. I made a double batch and we took it over to Cathi and Terry's. Terry has been sick and Cathi has had a difficult time with her mother lately.
It was a "souper" Tuesday

James walked with me to Walmart. We had fun walking and shopping together. James took his chain saw in to Bingham Equipment and told them it didn't work. They pointed out to him that he put the gas and the oil in the wrong tank. He was embarrassed but glad to know there was a solution to the problem. He went to his Mom's and chopped down her tree.
I called one of the sisters I visit teach, Bev Hermann, to see how she was doing. She said her 18 month old grandson that she is babysitting is in the hospital with an ear infection and respitory problems. I asked her if she would like Brother Lambson to come and give him a blessing. She said she would so this evening James and Kyle Tolman went to Banner Desert Children's Hospital and gave Sebastian Turner a blessing of health. James his also the home teacher for the Hermann's. I hope he is able to come home soon.
Some of the things I did today: Packed a box of clothes from our closet, paid bills, read from Victoria Holt's "The Black Opal" to James, fixed broccoli for dinner and then James and I went to Sonic to get burgers because we had a buy one get one free coupon.

James and I were on the schedule to clean the Church this morning. Dave, Laura, and Jackie Hall were our co-workers. There is alot to do but I think we were very thorough and did a nice job. It makes me appreciate more all the times that Paul took his boys down to clean.
Afterward James took Joseph and Alex over to his Mom's to help him cut down a tree in her backyard. Things did not go well. The new chain saw he bought with the money his Mom gave him for chopping down the tree did not work. The boys did haul some branches and Lois paid them. James will have to come back on Monday to finish the tree off.
This afternoon James took Joshua, Alex and Michael to The Bass Pro Shop. Joshua also went with him this morning to Lois's. James and Michael were looking for stuff to wear to their Mountain Man outing later in the month but they had no luck. Later James went to Savers and bought some pants.
I did some shopping today too, at Walmart, Sam's Club and Home Depot. I bought some lavender, white and purple petunias to plant by our mailbox. James helped me plant them in between all of his business. He also had a meeting this afternoon about building Saki's house.
We started our Fast around 3 pm. We are fasting for someone in our family.
I spent the evening working on my lesson. We went to bed early.

The fun today began after 5 pm. James and I had dinner at Elmer's. That's always fun! I had my usual, the machaca burro. James had two machaca tacos and we shared a small order of strips. Funny but when I'm inside of Elmer's I feel like I really could be in old Mexico.
After dinner we drove over to the Freestone Park Rec Center where Addy takes her dance classes. Addy's teacher invited parents and whoever else wanted to come to watch the girls perform their dance. Addy looked so cute. She had a fun hairdo, and she had on a lavender tutu. She had the biggest smile which revealed the fact that she has lost one of her front teeth and the other one is very loose. The dance was done to a Rihanna song and it was fun to watch the girls perform.
After the performance, we took Addy, Rowan, and Ruby home with us so Trina and Darrel could go out with Aaron and his new wife Kary. We stopped at Sonic and got the kids some dinner. When we got home Ruby wanted to watch the "Boots" movie so I borrowed Joshua's "Puss and Boots" and put it on in our bedroom. I made the kids some popcorn and then added some candy. A few minutes in to the movie Ruby was totally disinterested. I found out later that the "Boots" movie she wanted was "Dora and Boots." Sorry Ruby. I went in to the kitchen for something and Addy came in and said she had lost her other front tooth and she didn't know where it was. We looked on the bed and when we couldn't find it Granpa went out in the care and found it on the floor of the backseat. I guess it came out while Addy was eating her corndog. Addy looks so cute with both front teeth missing!

Quote: "Our exaltation depends on our repentance and obedience. Satan has power over those who persist in their sins. Those who persist in their sins and refuse to repent are enemies to God."
My early morning study time this week has been devoted to my Relief Society lesson which I will give Sunday. It is based on a talk by Elder D. Todd Christofferson from the January Ensign entitled" Recognizing God's Hand in Our Lives."
On the days James walks with me to Walmart we read our Book of Mormon and then I fix us an omlet for breakfast and then we go on our walk leaving around 6:30 am. It's a nice way to start the day.
I finally finished cleaning out the back planter on the north side of the pool. It was so bad it took me several weeks. Now I can get ready to plant some flowers in the mailbox planter.
James had Scout Roundtable this evening. I wrote on my blog and watched The Pioneer Woman cooking show. He was home a little after 8.
Reylene Luke is having surgery tomorrow to put in a filter in the vein where the clot is. Hopefully she will get to go home tomorrow evening. She did get to eat and drink today.

James walked to Walmart with me yesterday and he says he's also coming on Thursday and Saturday. I love having his company. Today I walked it alone. I see at least one Metro-Link bus a day when I walk. Most of them are empty or have one or two people on them. How much is this costing the taxpayers of Maricopa county.
Joe had a half day today so I picked him up at 10:45. We stopped at Jersey Mike's and picked up some subs for lunch. I had my one and only favorite, Jersey Shore's Favorite, Joe had a chicken parmesan on white bread, James order his on wheat, and Darrel had a Jersey Mike's Famous Philly. I dropped my sub off at home, took Joe home and then met Adrienne Ellsworth at the Chandler Hospital. We visited Reylene Luke. She just had a baby last week. She had a bloodclot through part of her pregnancy so she had been on heprin. Now she is hemorraghing. It is a difficult situation to be in and they are waiting for the results of an MRI and a decision from the doctors. She has had nothing to eat for 36 hours. She will definitely be in our prayers.
After visiting Reylene I went home and enjoyed my sub and took a nap. This afternoon I did some packing. This evening I went with Diana Dowdle to visit my friend Charlotte Mattice. Charlotte took a bad fall recently and has a beautiful black eye. She stayed pretty positive during our visit in spite of all of her health issues.
Dallin had a track meet today. He ran the 4x800 relay with a time faster than anyone else. He also beat Jared Ammon's time when he was a sophmore. Way to go Dallin! (Oh, by the way, Dallin is a junior).
