It's been another long, but productive day around here today. My rugs came yesterday. I had ordered them from Aunt Sue a couple of weeks ago and they finally came... but my house was so trashed there was no putting them out! So I worked really hard today to get the piles of laundry off the floor (!), got all of the dusting done, and moved all of the furniture and did the big scrub job on all of the tile floors except for the kids' room. It feels sooooo much better! And I know have a couple of GREAT, country, braided rugs--one in the living room and one under the dining table. They are the same pattern, but the one in the living room is the traditional oval while the one in the dining room is rectangle. I love 'em!
I managed to get all of that done (although both bedrooms are still trashed--that's tomorrow's project) and get everybody all cleaned up in time to go to the library, then go into town early so everybody could do some shopping for James. Tomorrow he will be a whoppin' 29 years old! AMAZING. If you didn't know you'd guess at least, what... 84??? Ha! It is pretty crazy. Anyway, the kids had a good time shopping for Dad and were all willing to part with a few dollars to get a little something for him. They actually did pretty good. Initially Sam was wanting to get him a bow and arrow or some such thing, but they finally tried to grasp the concept of buying something they think DAD might want instead of something THEY want. :-)
We had a good BTI service tonight--studied outward adornment. James took us through the Church's tract on it, as well as some church history about the splits in the 20's and 90's.
Well, I'm bushed. But I put a whole slew of pictures up for you, although they're not all of Convention.
This is Sam wrestling a tree...
The day Mom & Dad got here...
Ha! Love these ones. This is Brother Dustin trying desperately to keep hidden the pretty, girly purse in his left hand...
Ha! Look at him go! :-)
Trying to get a good picture of Grandma and Abbie... not so easy! Ha! Abigail is such a cheeseball!
Handsome Sam...
You'll be glad to hear that the following craziness took place AFTER Convention. They guys were in some sort of competition to see who could jump and touch the whatever-it-is. This is Keven Lewis... I think he got it a time or two.
Jon... Believe it or not, he was pretty consistant. He can somehow out jump most of the others!
Chris Clarkson... No problem! He even looks like he's having fun!
I had several pictures of Brother Dustin... but I'm too nice to post them all. (I must be going soft! Ha!) All I can say is that he had GREAT form! ;-)
Doing the guy thing... Gotta prove just what it is they are conquering, you know. :-)
Somebody mananged to throw something into the globe of this light, so it had to be fetched. Good thing they had Philip around! And a nice stool for him. :-)
Some of our fathers with their Father's Day gifts: Coca-Cola and beef jerky. What could be better?! (Great job, Tammy!) :-)

That's it for now. I'm not going to post any Camp pictures for a while. I have a plan. :-) They'll come, it'll just be later than sooner. Have a great day!
