I am missing these sweet boys so much.  So happy Kimmy is putting pictures on Facebook.

Dad put my odometer on my bike today.  I put my bag and water bottle holder on yesterday.  Took it for a test drive a couple of miles today and it was so nice.  Had my music playing on my speaker in my  bag.  Thanks for the idea Vikki.

I have so much fun with these two sweeties!

Dad napping after walking 5 miles and power washing stuff.  He deserves a good rest

I picked lots of beets today and got them ready for the freezer.  Got 12 bags and some for supper too  Mocha tried them and loved them.  Weird dog.  I was really happy when Kimmy and the boys called today.  Loved hearing their voices.  So thankful for cell phones.  That made my day.  Vikki, Peyton, Isaac, Mykenzie, and Maddie met me at the Bike trail to walk at 7:45.  We walked 2 miles. Peyton and Isaac were pretty tired from swimming at Aunt Debbies, but still did pretty good.

This is the route we took today on the bike trail.

Bill and I in our matching colors and matching foot positions!

Vikki is so cute and so much fun!  

Bill was usually in the lead.  I tried his bike at the end and I hardly had to peddle so found out why.

Vikki's good with a camera even while riding a bike.

Thought I would be funny and wave like Bill did.

Bill and Vikki riding ahead of me....It was really windy!  I really have to go slow to take a picture.

Went to breakfast this morning.  Chuck, Sue, Loraine Don, Louise, Bill and I were the only ones there.  Wes and Gayla are at the Shack for their anniversary, so we put my phone on speaker and wished them a Happy Anniversary.  Rubbed it in that they had their banana split last night.  

Bill set it up yesterday to have our Faith Rider's meeting at Sullivan's since the Texan closed last Tues.  We are going there for our officer's meeting Thurs. too.  I paid the AAA ins. bill on my way home and met Kenzie at Planet Fitness to get her set up to go there.  When I got home Vikki called to say Rody's mom was having Peyton and Isaac so we decided to go for a bike ride.  Asked dad and he ended up coming too which was so nice.  We rode 8 miles according to Vikki's phone and 11 according to dad's odometer.  I going with dad's since it was so windy I figure that counts for extra miles ha ha.  We went as far as it goes behind Walmart on Bay and then turned around and rode it to Tittabawassee.  Saw Aunt Debbie on Bay Rd. by Walmart.  She honked at us.  It was hard going against the wind but what a BREEZE riding with the wind.  So nice to ride with these two.  Vikki had to encourage me a couple of times when I felt like turning back.  Thanks Vikki.

Kenzie and Bryce

Kenzie was sleeping here last night on the couch and ended up moving to the floor in the family room to stretch out.  She stretched alright and knocked the tv trays and one fell on her head.  Ouch!
When she got up I asked if she wanted to get ready and go out to breakfast.  She asked if Bryce could just go to breakfast with us so I thought it would be a good opportunity to talk to them about the Lord and getting in His Word every day.  They listened and Kenzie said she does read every day.  Praying for this sweet girl that I love so much.  Praying for Bryce too.  We saw Sherry Starke in Bob Evans.  She was in the booth across from us and one back with her two grandsons, Jonathan and Garrett.  Had a nice visit with her.   Came home and we all were tired so we all took a nap.  Kenzie left for work at 4:40 p.m.  I made sirloin burgers on the grill, baked potatoes on the grill and peas for dinner.  Also had tomatoes and cucumbers from the garden.  At around 7, Vikki and I met at the rail trail to ride our  bikes.  Peyton and Isaac did great for 3 yr. olds.  They had a few moments, but we went 4 miles and that's pretty far for them.  Had a good time and happy to get exercise.

Bruce put this on after it had just hailed today.  Wow!

Love this picture Kimmy put on Facebook!  Such a beautiful family.  I am missing them so much.

Looks like a storm coming.  It got very windy!

Clouds are rolling,

We went to church.  The principal from Bethlehem was there to speak about the school.  Bruce, Chrystal and the principal all did an excellent job talking about the school and what a blessing it is.  Hopefully families will respond and put there children in school there.  It is a wonderful school.  After church we went to the Olive Garden with Chris, Tina, Jeff and Debbie.  All of us had soup and salad except Bill and Debbie had spaghetti.  It started pouring when we were in the restaurant and I got drenched going to the car even though Bill pulled up close for me.  Came home and took a nap and then went for a short walk.  Kenzie called and asked if she could come stay here as it was hailing as she was going to leave work.  Glad to have her with us.

I went to pick up Mocha from Vikki's and 5 minutes later Melissa came to pick up Abby.  Nice to all get to visit.

Went to Purtells in Pinconning on our motorcycles.

I'm glad we decided to split ours as it was way too  big for just one.

Our campsite

Hailey and papa

Went to classes.  Had coffe and cookies as usual between classes.  Today we had prayer time. We prayed for a tiny baby who is a miracle because last year the parents asked for prayer at camp because the couldn't conceive and here they are with  this miracle. Che isn't eating good now or gaining weight like he should so that's why they anointed him and prayed.  Went to water arobics again, then swam.  Melissa and I worked in the nursery tonight and the baby we had all prayed for was in there and ate his whole bottle in 15 minutes.  Praise God.  Prayed more for him while I held him.  Pony's who has 10 children had her oldest daughter helping.  She is best friends with Jenna Englehart and she has been to our youth group and knows Emily Nelson.  Also was in dance with Micah.  She just got back from being in Rome helping missionary friends for 7 weeks. Hailey is spending the night.  Kenzie just went out to her tent at midnight but Hailey went in the bunkhouse to sleep.
