Her mom sent me these pictures

Peyton and Isaac playing with the washer and dryer.  They loved it.

I called Vikki to come over for left overs.  I knew her hands were hurting so I wanted to spend time with her to cheer her up.  I guess to cheer me up too as I feel so bad for her.  I brought up the toy washer and dryer and Peyton and Isaac played all day with it.  They had so much fun and were so fun to listen too.  I played a song for Vikki and she already had the album on her phone so she played the whole album for me.  My song was "I will Trust You Lord".  All the songs on the album were so good.  She left and dad and I watched a movie.

2/7/16...Super Bowl Sunday...all the kids and families came over

My Sunday School kids made sheep masks and then had fun acting out the parable of the lost sheep.

The boy in the front on the right is Wayne Schram's grandson and he didn't want to come into class.  He wanted to go with his uncle in the 1st grade.  He sat at the table and didn't want to get in our circle for the story so I took the flannel board over by him and all the kids moved there.  Then he decided to come on the floor with us and each child put a character on the flannel board for me.  He had tons of fun after that and was glad he came.  Made me happy!

Someone got a hold my phone and took some selfies ha ha

We went to church.  Drove separate because I had to teach Sunday School.  I came home and started the food.  Bill stayed for the meet and greet at church.  We had doughnuts at church today.  Yum!
The kids came and we ate around 4.  So nice to have everyone here.  The kids had fun playing together.  We enjoyed watching the Super Bowl, especially the commercials, and our team won so that was nice.  (The Denver Broncos and Peyton Manning was playing)  Thanks Vikki for being such a great help even though your hands were hurting.  Nice surprise to have the kitchen all cleaned up.

2/6/16 Went to Officer Training for CMA in Houghton Lake

Bill, Wes, Brian and Gayla at Cops and Doughnuts

Got up, got ready, read the Bible and waited for dad to get ready.  Made him coffee to go and then we headed to Wes and Gayla's to ride with them to our Officer Training for CMA.  Brian met us there to ride with us.  We stopped at Cops and Doughnuts to have coffee and doughnuts on our way.    So yummy.  We left there and headed to Houghton Lake.  There weren't many at the church, so we drove through the town and saw all the ice fishermen out on the Lake.  There were so many.  We went back to the church at 12:45 and there were lots of people there by then.  We had a great meeting.  When we broke off into officer groups.  I went and sat in for Luis in the treasurer group.  At 4 we left and headed to the Ponderosa in West Branch.  Our area reps met us there and ate with us.  We headed home and watched a movie on the Christian Station.

I went to Kimmy's to spend the day.  We had a nice visit and it was fun getting to see the baby lambs and feeding one.  They are adorable.  We checked on the ones expecting every hour, but no new babies while I was there.  I was so happy seeing the momma we prayed for doing great.  Thank you Jesus.  I knitted on my bag and Kimmy knitted some on her blanket.  She made yummy egg salad for us to have for lunch.  It was so good.  We went to get the boys when they got off the bus.  I was so happy to see them.  They were excited to show me the legos they made and Jacob played his clarinet for me and the piano.  So much fun.  I had to leave at 405 to meet Bill, Charlie and Sue at the fish fry in Auburn.  The food was delicious.  There was yummy perch, 3 kinds of potatoes, beans, green beans, tapioca, and great bread.  I went to the store after we got home and got some stuff for Super Bowl Sunday.

2/2/16....Rainy, sleety, lots of lightning and thunder.....

Went to breakfast.  We had a good turnout and good devotion.  Went grocery shopping afterwards to pick up some stuff for Super Bowl Sunday.  Came home and got the house cleaned.  Knitted some.  Prayed for care group people along with my daily prayer list people.  It was yucky out but we still had a great turn out....15 here.  Everyone came except the two couples who are out of state.  Emily did the worship music and everyone entered in.  It was amazing.  We learned about spiritual gifts and how we should be using them for the Lord.  Bill did great leading the group.  Dennis and Amy brought us a bag of huge oranges from Florida.  They are so delicious and my new knife cuts the peels off perfectly.  I took care of his cats while he was gone.  They gave me a 25 gift card for Olive Garden too.  We are going out to eat with them to talk about their upcoming marriage so will buy their lunch at Olive Garden with it when we go.  I told him I didn't want any thing for taking care of his cats because it's right on the same road as our church and I was going by there a lot anyway.  Sure am happy with the oranges though....didn't argue about those.  I can't wait to go see Kimmy Friday.  Missing that girl!

2/3/16....Prayng for Peyton and Isaac as they aren't feeling well

Slept in till 8 this morning.  Spent time worshipping, reading the Bible and praying.  Showered and got ready.  Spent time knitting my bag.  It was sunny and beautiful today for quite a while.  Still pretty windy though.  I talked to Kimmy and she said she had 6 inches of slush from last night.  We only got a little sleet and the rest rain.  We both had lots of lightening and thunder.   Balanced the check book, then did some more knitting.  Made chicken tenders, potatoes and peas for dinner.  We have been having an orange from Florida every night.  They are huge and very delicious.  I left at 6 for my kids care group.  They were very good tonight and loved their surprises from the surprise box.  Can't wait to go to the Freehand Garage sales to get more stuff for my box.  Peyton isn't feeling good and Jack had to have a treatment before my class so we all prayed for them in class.  My kids love to pray.  They were happy to hear about Kimmy's momma sheep doing good after having triplets too.  Love my kiddos!
