Melissa putting chapstick on the Valentines the kids did for their teachers

Kimmy called to see if I was going to be home as she wanted to come today instead of tomorrow.  I had just called Melissa to see if she wanted to go to Tim Horton's and she said yes.  I told Kimmy to come and she could go with us.  When she got here, we called Melissa and we all headed to meet at Tim Horton's.  We had a nice visit. Melissa, Evan and I enjoyed our doughnuts and we all had drinks.  Afterwards, Melissa went to Walmart before coming to our house and Kimmy and I went to my credit union, Best Buy, (I picked up Mocha's dog license while Kimmy was at Best Buy) I went to Best Buy after, then Sam's Club, then Walmart (picked up two Star Wars Valentine Boxes of Candy for Melissa as they only had one at the Walmart she went to.  They only had two at ours)
Went to Staples after that.  Kimmy was looking for a Bluetooth Mouse for Jared.  She was excited to get all these steps as she was wearing her new fitbit.  Pretty exciting.  I love mine.  We came home and I warmed up cheesy potatoes for Kimmy and Melissa and I had round steak and gravy with a baked potato.  Bill had 2 sloppy joes.  Evan had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Melissa worked on putting chapstick and bows on the kids valentines for their teachers.  Kimmy set up fitbit on my computer for me.  Thanks Kimmy.  Vikki wasn't feeling good so that's why she didn't come.  We are praying she feels better fast.  After the girls left, I went to Sports Zone and walked two miles.  Came home and got ready to go to Faith Rider's Meeting.  Vikki called and said Kenzie came over and gave her a big hug and cried.  God is working. Thank You Lord!  Vikki, Kenzie, Cole, Peyton and Isaac went to Chen's and then to the mall and had a great time together.  So thankful.  It's what they both needed.  Answered prayer for sure.  

1/10/16 No school today because of snowstorm.

No school today because of snow so Melissa put on some cute pics of the kids playing in the snow

Hailey and Abby.  Love this picture!

Love Max's expression




I finished my bag I knitted today!  FINALLY!!

No school today so the kids were happy to have a snow day.  It's the first one in Saginaw this year.  Kimmy's kids have had one day but didn't get a snow day today.  I didn't feel too good.  Head is stuffy so just stayed home, rested, napped and knitted.  One of Vikki's hands is starting to get better.  Thank You Jesus!  Cried when I heard this.  Makes me so happy.

2/9/16 Snow storm

We got a nice snow storm.  Everything is so beautiful!


Lots of Birds out today


Three cardinals in this tree

Didn't go to breakfast as my head is stuffed up.  Don't feel too bad though.  Don't want anyone catching anything.  Phyllis sent my plastic dishes back and had a CD she bought us in it and a really nice card.  The CD set had 3 CD's of great worship music.  Spent the day resting.  Charlie made turkey soup and brought us some.  It was delicious.  Such nice friends.  Bill took care of the snow here and also at His Restoration  He is such a blessing and servant.  Kenzie and Cole came to visit in the evening and stayed quite a while.  She isn't feeling good so praying for her to get better fast. She is going to the dr. tomorrow.  Having bronchial spasms she was told by the dr. last time she went.
Had a nice talk about choices we make.  Cole is so caring toward her.  She needs to get a car so she can work at Culver's in Midland.  Lots of prayer going for my Mykenzie! 

2/8/16....Peyton and Isaac playing with washer and dryer

Shannon's Birthday Celebration
Her mom sent me these pictures



Kelly, Shane, Ava and Claire

Peyton and Isaac with Kenzie's Build a Bear Dog.

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!

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.
