The weekend

The children had the day off for District Development day on Friday. I took the day off of work too. I mowed the front and back lawn in the morning.

The family then piled in the car and went up to Payson Lakes for an afternoon of fishing. The boys caught 7 rainbow trout between them and my oldest daughter contributed three more to the stringer. We cleaned the fish lakeside and threw the entrails to the ducks who devoured them.

Came home to watch a dance program put on in back of the neighbor's house by my daughter and her friends (the girls of the three families) It included tickets to attend and a tribute to the new Hanna Montana movie.

We put the kids to bed and went back over to the neighbors house where we played Hearts with six of us. We all contributed treats for the game night. I made "cake like" brownies. There was also apples and carmel, various cheeses with a sliced beef stick with crackers, cream cheese with pineapple jalapeno salsa, chunky nacho cheese dip with tortilla chips.

Today, I helped my second son and his broken foot get to his football pictures in his pads and crutches. He and I then went to watch his team play their Saturday game without him. We sat on chairs by the end zone with a third chair propping up his foot and watched his Cowboys beat the Sky Hawks 14 to 6. My son could hardly sit still, he wanted to play and be involved so badly.

We returned home after the game and my oldest son and I continued the framing project until we ran out of wood.

My wife has now left for the General RS Meeting with her sister and one of the neighbors. We are glad that she could go and enjoy the meeting and get away from us for a few minutes. She looked really cute in a pregnancy denim skirt and pink top layered with a white shade.

She had dinner in the oven for us before she left (Yummy chicken and rice casserole with green beans, apple sauce and pears). I hope that she stops for ice cream before she comes home (peanut butter cup blizzards)

Church will dominate my day tomorrow. I have to be at the church at 7:50 AM and am slated to be there until around 4:30 to 5:00 PM right now.
