| Our sweet adorable 6th month old Rehvyn! We all love him so much! |
 |
| His grammy’s new car seat! He is pretty happy in it, but then he’s always happy |
 |
| Vikki, Kimmy and Eli working on staining the deck today. They are such hard workers! |
 |
| Finished in two days....our wrap around deck and our pool deck! Amazing! |
I got up early and fed the birds. Bill took the garbage and recycling out. He went to get stain while I sat on the deck and ate my bowl of cereal and drank my coffee. I gave Kit Kat attention too, hoping she wouldn’t come on the deck while we were staining if she already had attention. She did pretty good today. Rehvyn is 6 months old today. He is such a blessing and gift from the Lord. What a happy and content baby who makes us all so happy. He is just what we needed in the family.
Vikki and Isaac came over. Kimmy, Adam, Eli, and Evan got here a few minutes later. We moved things off the deck, then Kimmy and I blew the part we were staining today off. Kimmy instructed Evan and Isaac on how to stain and they did it for a little while. Then we let them enjoy their time and go in the house and play ping pong and also hang out together outside. In three years when we do the deck again, they will be helping the whole time probably. We were thankful for their help.
Adam did the pool deck by himself and Kimmy, Vikki, Eli and I split up the sections of the deck and worked together getting that done. They are all amazing workers. I love how joyful they are and how the kids think it is fun. Kimmy, Vikki and I think it is work that we make fun by laughing and talking together. It is just amazing to me that we got all of that done in a day and a half. We actually didn’t get to start yesterday until around 1. Vikki, Eli and Isaac left around 4 to go to Kenzie’s to see Rehvyn on his 6 month old birthday. She took the great pictures on my blog today. Bill took Adam to his soccer practice with his school team. Kimmy and I did the gate to the pool, the hand rail and the last 10 short boards in the center of the pool deck. We got really hot because we were in the sun. (We realized how hot Adam must have been doing all the rest of the deck). We decided to wait til it was more shaded, so we sat on the swings and drank our water and had frozen strawberry popsicles I made. They were so good and it sure felt good to relax. We were both pretty sore from yesterday’s staining. After we got done, it was pretty shaded by the steps so we did those, and the deck around the steps. Lastly, we did the two posts that the solar cover to the pool is on. Then we took care of our brushes and Kimmy had to leave to go pick up Adam. I put the sprinkler on the garden, then picked up the small stuff that could be put away or thrown away. When I came in the house, Bill and I had a piece of the rhubarb pie, Carol sent home with Bill after he took her to a dentist. She sent two pieces for us to have because she was finishing another piece tonight too and ate a half a pie in two days. That was sweet of her to want us to have some too. I have to say, it did taste pretty good with ice cream on it. YUM!
Pool Jacob isn’t feeling good. He has a really sore throat. Jared is trying to get a doctor appt. for him for tomorrow. We prayed for him today and are continuing to pray. He had to go practice with the Eddy band tonight. On his way home, Kimmy said he hit a fawn on the highway. He didn’t get hurt, but there is some damage to the bumper. He missed the mom deer praise God. Hailey totaled her mom and dad’s car hitting a deer when she first started driving. Thankful Kimmy and Jared don’t have to go through that.
It was a busy, but a fun family work day. I appreciate everyone’s help and love so much. We are so blessed with a close and loving family. I thank God for each one! God is so good to us! Our family is so good to us too. I’m thankful for the love God has put in our hearts.
