Bill and I got ready, read our Bibles, then met Wes and Gayla at Riverside at 8:30.  They bought our breakfast for Bill’s birthday and gave Bill a huge bag of cashews and also some fruit life savers.  So nice of them.  We had a very nice visit while we ate our breakfasts.  
They are such great friends and have been for a very long time. 

We stopped at Pat’s Food Center and I got 3 cake mixes.  One angel food and 2 white cakes.
We came home and Kimmy and Vikki were here waiting for us.  Kimmy brought Arnie too.  They took me down to the basement and showed me this huge cage Vikki found for $4 for Arnie when he’s here and me for my dog when I get it.  It is such a nice looking cage too.
I made the angel food cake first, then made the other two.  I called Sue to see if she was going to come over, but she had someone coming over to put up a satellite for her tv, so she had to wait for him to come and finish.

Kenzie and Rehvyn came over.  Kimmy, Bill and I had a piece of Hailey’s banana bread.  Kenzie tried a piece of mine I shared with her and she loved it too.  We were down to the last piece.  Hailey and Melissa came and brought Wookie.  Hailey brought Rehvyn the cutest stuffed cow and Melissa brought him some cool wooden big trucks and a car hauler that attaches to one and a horse trailer that attaches to the other.  They were her boys when they were little, than she let Jessie’s kids have them to play with, then Bruce’s dad gave them back to Melissa and now Rehvyn gets them to play with.  He sure loved them.  He wanted to put them in Vikki’s car so he didn’t forget to take them when they left.   

Kenzie left to go do some errands and pick up cool whip for me and a gift card for her mom.  She picked Peyton up afterward and brought her to my house.  I called Sue again and she had fallen asleep after the guy got finished with the Satellite work.  She said she was going to drive over.  We were all very happy.  She is driving again and this is the first time she’s been over in a couple of years.  She really enjoyed seeing Rehvyn and thought he was so cute and such a good boy.  

Melissa and Hailey had to leave, then Kimmy had to leave to go pick up Eli from school.  When Jared got out of work, they all came here for chicken salad sandwiches and cake and ice cream.  Melissa and Hailey came back too.  Then Bruce and Max got here.  Adam came after he got out of work.  Rody came after he got out of work too.  Then Stacie, DJ and Kody came.  We all visited, than ate (it was a last minute get together so I didn’t fix a big meal like I should have), but we all had fun together and celebrated Bill’s birthday and that’s what was so nice.  Just being together.  Most of us had cake and ice cream and enjoyed that.  Bill had everyone’s share that didn’t take any.  

After Jack got out of work, he came over and ate and had cake and ice cream.  He picked up Evan and Lydia from her house.  Lydia’s mom had Evan over for a big delicious meal, so they weren’t hungry for anything, but it sure was nice having them here too.  We had so much fun and Bill was so happy that everyone came.  We are blessed with a close family. 
Sue stayed till the sun was almost set, then left to get home before dark.  She had a really nice time talking to everyone and we sure were happy she came and we all loved having her here to visit with.  What a great day!  Kimmy had made 2 batches of rolls for Sue for me since I didn’t have time and I sent them home with Sue today.  She loves to have them in her freezer.
