1/31/16 We went to church today

Vikki took this picture of Peyton, Nana and Isaac with our umbrellas.  She got my better side!

We went to church.  Vikki, Rody, Peyton, and Isaac came.  Kenzie and Cole came in late.  Kenzie asked me why all the people were there.   I told her we were growing.  The worship was amazing and the message was great.  Kenzie wants me to come visit the church she is going to in Midland.  I told her I could come in two weeks.  I have teach Sunday School this coming week.  After church, we went out to Chili's with Bill and Gail Mallory.  They came to our church and we haven't seen them in a long time.  They are long time friends.  Our girls used to play with their daughter, Jackie.  We spent much time together back in the day.  We came home and I changed and headed to Vikki's.  We went shopping.  Peyton and Isaac were excited that we could use our umbrellas because it was raining.  They sure are good little shoppers.  They know what everything is and they think they need everything.  They sure were cute and made me smile.  We had fun.

2/1/16 Vikki and the kids came over to watch a movie

We had a visitor today!

Isaac loved helping Papa get the ice off the deck using their feet.  He's a great worker

Hailey's DNA she had to make with Bruce for a school project.  It had to be free standing.  Evan wasn't too happy about his bucket being used and a hole put in it though

Glad I didn't have to come up with everything written on the bucket

Papa and Isaac

Peyton smiled a little even though she didn't feel good.

 Vikki and the kids came to eat spaghetti and watch a movie.  She brought some delicious fruit so we made a fruit bowl.  I added bananas, oranges, blueberries and she had strawberries and grapes so it was very yummy.  Thanks Vikki.  We watched the movie, Old Fashioned.  Peyton wasn't feeling good and just layed around most of the time.  She had a fever.  We prayed for her and her fever went down for a while.  She played for a few minutes then.  Isaac and her were coughing.  Poor sweeties.  Isaac had fun playing and picked up all the toys by himself and put them away when it was time for them to leave.  Vikki and I knitted during the movie        

1/30/16

Max and Jack loved building things with the legos.  Evan loved playing with the ones I have already put together.

Look at all those sticks they picked up

Jack hauling the sticks away in the wagon

The boys slept in after staying up late watching movies last night.  They played with legos a lot and watched a movie.  Right after breakfast they wanted to go out and pick up sticks, but I had them wait till papa got up so he could get the stuff out for them.  Bruce, Melissa and Hailey came to pick them up and visited for a little while.  At 5:30, we met Wes,Gayla, and Joel at Bob Evans.  The hostess took us back to a corner with a round table and right back in the corner with us was a small table really close. My brother, John and his wife Rose were sitting at it.  We hugged and visited with them for a while.  I am so happy they are living for the Lord now and serving him.  It would have been pretty awkward if this had happened before they received Jesus.  Thank You Lord.  They are at their church every day,  working in the cafe/donut shop and John also does projection on Sundays.  Rose went out of her way to talk to Joel and was very kind to him.  Wes and Gayla insisted on buying our meal.  Afterwards, we went to their house to play cards.  I won the card game and then we switched and played Rumicube.  Wes won that.  It was lots of fun.

1/27/16 Celebrated Hailey's Birthday at her party for her 12th Birthday

Happy that I finished my bag.  Thanks for your help Kimmy

Melissa, Hailey and Bruce

Max and Jack loved looking at the deer across the street through the binoculars.

Hailey wearing her Stormy Kromer hat Sue and Charlie got her.  It's just like her papa's and also grandpa had one like it and loved it.  The flaps fold down over her ears if she gets cold.  She kept it on for a long time.

Hailey, Abby and her birthday figurine!  I remember when she was just 2 and opened one of these girls and wanted to play with that and not open anything else.  She was so precious!

Hailey's beautiful and yummy Birthday Cookie that matched her Birthday Decor!

As you can see it turned the girls tongues black and blue

Singing happy birthday to the Birthday Girl!  12 candles really lit up the cookie

Got up and did my hair as I was supposed to go to lunch with dear friend Vikki today.  I got a text from her saying Terry was taking her to the hospital because she had pain in her left arm and a prickly feeling.  Ended up being diagnosed with Myofascial Pain Syndrome.  Keeping her in my prayers for healing in Jesus Name.  I was busy finishing knitting her bag I am making and did get it finished.  Picked Hailey, Jack and Evan up from school.  Melissa picked Max up from school early as he was pale and felt like he was going to pass out.  He was doing better once he got home and she had him put his feet up.  I took the kids home and then took Max and Jack to my house until time to go to the party.  Bill had to go to Detroit for a followup appt. for his knee.  He is doing well, but the dr. said he would probably have pain since he had to put a long bone graft in his knee.  We are praying against that and believing the report of the Lord, By the Stripes of Jesus he is healed!!!

The boys played with legos for a while and watched the deer and the birds through the binoculars.  Then Bill called and said he was almost home so we waited for him and then went to Hailey's Party.   

We had pizza, breadsticks, Cookie, and ice cream.  Took the three boys home with us so the girls could enjoy their party time.  Watched the Movie Beethovan's Treasure Hunt when we got home.  Played with legos too.

1/28/16 Melissa came over

Melissa came over after she dropped the kids off at school to get something out of her camper.  We visited while we drank our coffee and then went to Meijer's so she could look for stuff for Hailey's party that she found at the other Meijer's.  We found some stuff but not the things she was looking for.  We both got a package of really nice socks.  Went back to my house and then she went home to get the house cleaned for the party.  I knitted on my bag, made spaghetti, we ate and then it was time to go to Victorious Believer's Church for a Saginaw City Revival.  It was so nice and the Holy Spirit moved amazingly.  Wes, Gayla, Elaine, Matt and Lupe, and Luis went too.  DeMistro was there and a couple of other people Bill worked with.
