Hailey, Brielle and I in church this morning

Brielle was just the cutest waving like this most of the time during church.  We sure loved watching her do this

Eli, Jacob and Adam

Eli...ha ha he realized he had Jack's stick.  Looks like it has an angel on the end.

The boys having fun

It was so nice I sat on the front porch and read the He gets us book pastor gave to Bill and the elders to read.

Jared and Max watching the dog's Easter egg hunt

The dogs all really got into it because they put peanut butter on the eggs so the dogs would go to them and find the treat inside.  

Bruce on the swing, Jared and Max by the doggie pool party.  Looks like Abby, Vader and Wyatt had a fun time in that pool

Kimmy took this picture of what we thought was a house burning down the road then a ways down another road.

Bill and I walked down to see it later.  There were still fire trucks there, so we couldn't drive.  It was a pole barn that burned, not a house.  We were happy about that.

 We went to church early because of it being Resurrection Day.  We put things down to save our seats, a seat for Hailey, and 4 seats for Vikki and family.  After prayer, we went in for amazing worship.  It was sure a celebration of Jesus being alive and risen indeed.  Pastor gave an amazing message from the Word too.  I got to hold Brielle for most of the service.  She was so sweet, so good and so funny.  She would look at Hailey, Peyton, and Vikki, smile a big smile and gave them the cutest wave.  She did this over and over. We all sure thought it was the cutest!.  After church, we prayed for our friend, Linda, for healing.  She couldn't walk up front, so we prayed with her in the back of the church for her healing.  We had parked at the fire station next door so others could park closer in the church parking lot.  We were the last ones to get on the shuttle back to the fire station.  Dr. John G. told us they would make room and they scooted over so I could fit next to Owen.  Bill sat in the front of the van.  Another guy came out and wanted to ride, so John moved over to make room to squeeze him in.  What a kind and fun bunch of people.  

Vikki, Rody and the kids came over and we had leftovers from yesterday's roast.  YUM!

After they left, we took a little nap.  When I woke up it was 63 degrees and sunny out, so I went outside and put the cushions on the swings, moved small round tables from the garage to the deck, and washed off tables.  I was happy to see Kimmy as I had been hearing lots of sirens and didn't know if it was an accident close by or what it was.  She wasn't answering her phone.  I was about to text Eli, when they got to my house.  I was very thankful.  She told me there was a fire down the road close by and showed me a video of it.  So sad!   Melissa and Bruce dropped Jack off so he could spend the night at our house with Eli.  They left to go have a pool party/egg hunt for their dogs, their foster dogs and Wyatt.  She sent me some pictures.

Vikki was happy to have Evan stay at her house and posted some nice pictures.  Bill and I drove close to where the fire was, and walked to see it.  The firemen were still there but it was just smoldering a little.  It was a pole barn.   

The boys played outside, climbed the tree, played ping pong, and watched a movie.  They wanted me to make small pizza's for their dinner.  Didn't want yummy roast.  

Bill and I watched a movie called "A Wing and a Prayer."
