Today was shaping up to be a great day, or was it? It started out great. The weather was nice and the kids were playing in the new jump castle that Steve and Gina bought for them. Then the kids worked for Steve picking up rocks out of the orchard. He pays really well! After that Gina (Jim's step mom), Amery and I went to get manicures, pedicures and out to lunch at The Cheesecake Factory. Can't get better than that. While we were gone there had been much excitement at the house. The boys were playing outside, trying to catch lizards. Ashton had gone to meet up with them. We think he must have been jumping around on the stones and didn't realize there was a 5 ft drop off into the pool. Anyway, Dallen, who had been playing quite a little ways away, heard a splash (I think it might have been Divine intervention), and ran up to the pool. He saw someone in the middle of the pool under the water. It took him a few seconds to realize it was Ashton, he immediately jumped in with his clothes on and put his arm under his arms, with his head up, just like a lifeguard, and swam him to the ledge. In the mean time, Evan ran up to get Jim. Jim ran down to the pool and jumped in (clothes, cell phone and everything). He got them out and all was well. Thanks to Dallen, he was truly a lifesaver!!
We also went to Jim's Grandma Bev and Howard's house for dinner. It was great to see them too. They were great hosts.
