Went to church.  Vikki and Rody picked up Matthew so he could go today.  Afterwards Matt, Vikki, Bill and I went to Buffalo Wild Wings which is Matt's favorite place.  We picked up a gift card and have been wanting to take Matt out so it worked out today.  It was windy and cool outside.  We had a 15 minute wait. Vikki noticed John Galsterer and family and the Cronin's from church in the corner so we went and visited with them for a few minutes.  The kids were so cute and excited to see me.  Even little Declan, 2 yrs., was waving and saying It's Miss Penny over and over.  It made my day.
We had a nice visit with Matt and really good food.  We saw Lisa Starke before we left so went to her table and talked to her and Luke.  It was nice seeing her.  Vikki, Bill and I walked through Sam's club and I got a few things.  We got some steps in too.  We came home and I got a call later from Kenzie asking if I was going to be home.  She had bought a surprise for me and wanted to bring it to me.  It was her new favorite thing she said.  She came after work and brought me yogurt covered pretzels.  They were yummy and it sure was sweet of her.  She was excited because she could use her debit card now.  So glad they have this for kids so they can get used to managing money.  We had a nice visit and she was pretty funny trying to get Mocha to play.  Mocha actually did for a few minutes.  Then Kenzie put a sock over Mocha's eyes and Mocha just left it there for a long time.  Finally she tipped her head and it fell off.  Such a silly dog and a silly girl too.  So much fun.  Dad and I realized it was the last day to get our $1.80 off gas, so we loaded cans and headed to get gas at Kroger's.  Afterward, we came home and I hooked up the computer to the TV and we watched the KLove fan awards.  They had a lot of good artists on it and some good worship music.

We had so much fun with Matt today at his favorite restaurant, BWW!!!

Matt, Bill and Vikki

Kenzie came over after work.  Below is the surprise she brought me.  Yummy!  She got Mocha to play with her than put this blue sock on Mocha and Mocha just sat there.  Too funny!

Jessica, Nora, Kim, Hannah, Andrea, and Olivia....so much fun with the Gager's at Hannah's shower

We played a cute game where we drew one of these folded papers out and then they told us to pass it to our left.  We opened them up and whoever had the groom's head won.  So funny!

Friends forever!

Nora was so cute.  It took her a while to warm up and start talking.

The cake Kim made was beautiful and delicious!

Hannah opening her gifts!  Andrea writing who they were from.

Hannah trying on hat that she got.

Vikki came over at 9 this morning and we packed up the gift bag, made us each a coffee and headed to Gagers. It's always great to be around the Gager family because we just pick up where we left off.  We played some games and then ate brunch.  They had yummy quiche, tiny 50 cent size pancakes 3 in a stack with a tooth pick in it, cinnamon rolls, bacon on kabob sticks, and fruit.  Everything was delicious. Afterwards, Hannah opened her gifts.  She loved Vikki's slippers she made (which we had found out were her favorite color in a game we had played just before).  She loved the dangle and dishcloths too.  She was cute when she opened them.  We had cake and visited for a while before leaving.  When we got back to my house we ate a small portion of spaghetti and then Vikki helped me move the furniture around in the family room.  Thank you Vikki.  It was so nice of you to help me get that done right away.  Vikki left and Bill and I watched a movie on Netflix.

The woods cleaned out and looking good!  I took this picture late so it's kind of dark.

A big thank you Kimmy for all of your help cleaning our woods out with dad.  It looks amazing.  Wish I would have taken a before picture.  Dad even thanked the Lord for all you did to help when he prayed at dinner.  You worked so hard and did such a great job.  Thank you Thank you! 

I went to walk 2 miles at Sports Zone this morning.  Dad had me call Kimmy to see if she would drop Eli off at Sports Zone to see him and Tony.  She said Eli was pretty excited to go there.  After I got home, Kimmy came.  She wanted to see the flowers I planted that she gave me so we walked to the woods.  It wasn't long and she talked me into working on cleaning the woods out.  Vikki and the kids came over too. I worked a little went in to cook chicken for our chicken salads.  I also made the salad up.  Kimmy and dad kept at it.  At lunch time, the kids ate spaghetti while we had our salads.  Then Kimmy and I went back out to work some more.  Bill came out later too.   The girls left for home and I took a nice nap.  Woke up and we had spaghetti for supper.  Bill and I went for a ride and got an ice cream cone.  We got caught in a downpour where Bill could hardly see to drive.  Glad it didn't last long.  Worked on some charm dangles and put one in a bag for Hannah's shower tomorrow.  Also went to Kroger's and got a Target gift card.  Vikki has been working on slippers for her and they are beautiful.  Also have 3 dish cloths for her.  Excited to go to the Gager's house for her shower tomorrow. 

Isaac, Eli and Peyton sure loved jumping on the trampoline. They are pretty good at it now.

Took this picture from Kimmy.  Love this pic of the boys on their last day of school.  Love Jacob's new glasses too.

I got to tuck Isaac in...he was pretty happy!

Jack's field trip

Jack's class field trip.  I was blessed to be able to go and drive some very sweet kids.

Love this cute picture!

Jack loved holding the kitten!

Ben's dad asking Jack questions and videoing him.  He held his little camera in his hand like this.  He said the videos turn out good.  Amazing!

Jack with the little goat

Jack and his class

Jack holding the chick

Now it's the bunny's turn to be held!

So cute the way this baby goat climbed on his mommy.  When he got down he used the other baby goat for a step. Ha Ha....he was pretty silly!

The kids were given a cup of food for the goats.  They were told to hold them down by their tummy.

Here come the goats....there were lots of them as you will see  below!

The kids loved it.

Thought these were so cute!

This is the group the guy opened the gate for so they could run to the food the kids had.

Jack thought and Caleb thought it was pretty funny that this calf was licking Jack.

Time for the hayride.  So much fun!  We adults got to sit on bales of hay in the middle and the kids sat on the floor.

The pigs ran toward the wagon!  They were pretty big.

Our tractor driver stopped to get this mama duck and her babies so we could see them.

These cows were a big hit.  They wanted to milk them again before we left.

When I got done with the field trip I went to Vikki's.  Evan loved the sprinkler.

Peyton, Evan, and Isaac had lots of fun in the sprinkler.

One, Two, Three here they come.

Love the smiles!

Peyton and Evan!  Isaac wouldn't get in the picture because he went down the slide and hurt his bottom.  Poor boy!

After the kids played in the sprinkler, I left and went home. I planted some spinach seeds and some beets in the garden, because I had forgot to get them.  I was pretty tired so took a nap which felt very good.  Then I made spaghetti and we ate dinner.  We headed to Vikki's afterward.  She and the kids rode bikes to visit Matt at SVSU.  They got home a couple of minutes after we got to their house.  Vikki looked pretty tired, Kenzie so so, and Peyton and Isaac looked very refreshed.  I wonder why.  Bill tilled the garden a second time and Vikki and I went and got seeds, plants, a hoe, and stakes while Papa watched the kiddos.  They were smiling and all sitting on the front porch swing when we got back.  I got Peyton and Isaac ready for bed and read their Bible to them.  We prayed and then they brushed their teeth and I tucked them in.  I went out and helped Vikki and Bill plant the garden.  We had fun.  Vikki followed us home to get one more section of fencing for the last side of the garden.  It looks very nice.
