4/7/16...Got my hair cut today at Catherine's

Got our tax stuff ready for tomorrow's appointment.  Went to Vikki's and Rody set up our Amazon fire stick.  I left it there while he worked on it.  Loved seeing Peyton and Isaac.  We prayed for Vikki's hip and hands to be healed.  Thanking Jesus for His Word to stand on in faith.  Left to go get my hair cut at Catherine's.  While she was cutting it, Sarah came down with baby Catherine.  She was in a panic because the baby had gotten the shaving cream off the edge of the tub and had some in her mouth and had gotten the little top that dispenses it off.  She found the top but read on the can to keep it away from children and not to let them ingest it.  She went upstairs and called poison control and they said all that was in it was soap and it wasn't dangerous for a small amount.  Of course Catherine and I prayed while she was upstairs calling.  Praising God she was ok.  Left there and went to Jack's to get some meat and other things.  Melissa called while I was in the parking lot to see if I was going to Kroger's.  Said I would meet her there after Jacks.  Tried calling when I was done, but she didn't answer.  Vikki called and when we were talking she mentioned she was heading to Kroger's meet Melissa.  Then I saw a text from Melissa.  Went to Penney's to take a tank top back, but when I gave her the receipt she said it was from Meijer's ha ha.   I looked around a little then left and went to Meijer's.  Came home and made Bill chicken breast, mashed potatoes and corn.  I ate a half of a cantaloupe and planned on having soup, but was too full.  We went to our officer's meeting for Faith Riders at Bill and Sabrina's.  Bill did a great job leading the meeting and Sabrina's was a great hostess.  She made big delicious yummy peanut butter cookies.  Brian brought a huge cinnamon roll he got in Millington.  The box it was in was the size of a big birthday cake box and the cinnamon roll filled the box.  It was huge. I will put a picture on here of it tomorrow.

4/6/16 ...Our fire stick came today

Another beautiful picture Kenzie sent me.  Amazing!!!

Kenzie sent me this picture she's coloring.  Beautiful artist!

Made a big yummy pot of vegetable soup today.  Trying to keep eating healthier.

Alleys wanted me to take a picture of the back of her hair so she could see what it looked like.  She's a cutie

Sweet Aleyiah

Some cute boys in my class working on their coloring sheets

These sweet girls are so much fun!

Got my walking in this morning even though I had to do it at home.  Put my happy praise songs on and then put worship music on.  Ended up on my knees worshipping God a few times while walking.
So blessed to love and be loved by God!
Did some laundry and then made veggie soup.  It only took about 15 minutes to get everything in the pot. Love my veggie cutter. It works great for carrots, potatoes etc.  Did my lesson for class tonight.
Ate soup and then went to class.  The kids were wound up from not having class for 3 weeks.  They sure do settle down for the story though and they love prayer time.  They all want to pray for each other.  Our fire stick came today.  Can't wait for Rody to set it up.  So excited!

4/5/16....Kimmy came to breakfast this morning....so much fun having her there

Kimmy came to breakfast this morning.  We were so happy to have her there.  Wes and Gayla were back from Florida and were there too.  13 of us there today.  Kimmy and I went to Melissa's for a while after breakfast.  We had a nice visit with her and Evan.  I need to get Kimmy's picture of Evan and post it here as I didn't take one.  We came back to my house and Vikki and Peyton came over.
We visited and then ate salad and chicken sandwiches for lunch.

Nana and Peyton with Peyton's finished picture!  

Helping Peyton with the picture she is making

.Love this picture of the kids.  Adam, Jacob and Eli are spending time with their Aunt Vikki.  They are pretty happy kiddos!

Vikki had to leave early because she was going to watch baby Nora.  Kimmy and I listened to Pastor Ken's message on the modern family as we walked in the basement to get some steps.  Kimmy was contacting a girl to see about purchasing her pottery wheel. She and Jared decided to get it so set up to go to Indiana today and pick it up.  Lots comes with it so they are pretty excited.  Can't wait to see what they all make with it.
I made hamburgers, mashed potatoes and corn for supper.  Wes and Gayla stopped in and brought me a beautiful bluebird nightlight and Bill a nice Marine Veteran hat.  They are always so sweet to us.

Had care group. 12 of us were here.  The lesson was so good and lots of good input.  It was on Peace.

Watched the news and weather and then went to bed.  

4/4/16 Went to see the movie God's Not Dead 2

Took a test I had to do and dropped it off at the lab at Covenant.  Went to the bank and then got gas at Kroger's.  Came home and did some cleaning.  Went to pick up Hailey, Max and Jack from school as Evan had a dr. appt.  Took them home and Melissa, Bruce and Evan were back already.  Went home and Bill and I left right away to go see God's Not Dead 2.  It was such a great movie. Definitely will buy that one.  Great ending which brought me to tears.  Thanking God for these amazing movies and praying  He uses them to change hearts and change our nation.  We went to Bob Evans to eat afterwards.  Had breakfast for supper ha ha.

4/3/16.....taught Sunday School today

Bill and Paul Nelson at lunch with Malachi

We got snow but not as much as they said.  Beautiful cardinal on the feeder!

I taught Sunday School.  Had eight sweet kids and taught them about the ascension of Jesus into heaven.  Doughnuts after church was a nice surprise.  YUM.  Bill and I bought New Life t'shirts.

Bill and Melissa said it was an amazing message on the modern family.  It is on our church website so I will listen to it asap.  Bill wants Kimmy and Vikki to listen to it too because it was so good. 

Malachi took Bill out to eat with him and his dad.  They went to Applebee's.  So thankful that Bill has so many godly friends in his life.  Thankful for all mine too.  Poor Vikki isn't feeling good today.  She must have caught what Peyton and Isaac had.  Sure am praying for her.  Bill and I watched the movie Dolphin Tale.  It was very good. 

4/2/16 Went to the National Cemetery in Holly where they honored Vietnam veterans

Driving into the National Cemetery in Holly

They moved it inside because it was cold and snowy outside.  

Bill looking a the only Coast Guard Veteran there..(in the leather coat)

Bill with the flags and many gravesite in the background.  There is a lake in front of him.  It is absolutely beautiful there.  We will be buried her when our time comes unless the rapture happens!

On our ride home

Cute egg basked we found for Kimmy.  It was almost time for them to pack up so they took about any price offered.  Got this for a couple dollars and got the shoes below for a couple of dollars too.  They are new and were priced at $20....$2 sure is a better deal.  Really soft leather too.

We stopped at Tony's on Center for a Hamburg and we split some fries.  Bill wanted a shake, but the machine was broken.  We both just got waters then.  I told him to smile for the pic and this is what I got.  Must have been too disappointed about the shake machine!

The snow on the pine trees in the background is beautiful!

We got ready and left for Holly to go to the National Cemetery.  It was a very moving service with many speakers.  I sat next to a 90 year old lady who was as sweet as could be.  Her great niece was standing behind her and had brought her.  The lady's husband had passed away.  He was a marine and so were his 3 brothers.  Her son was also a marine, but was a policeman now and had to be somewhere else.  I told her niece that we belonged to CMA and she wanted to know if there was a chapter in Flint.  I had Bill write the info down for her and she was very happy.  After the service was over a man played Amazing Grace on the bagpipes.  It was beautiful.  I asked this nice lady if she knew Jesus as her Lord and Savior and she took my hand and said yes.  We said we would see each other in heaven some day then.  Made my day!  We left and Bill asked if I wanted to go to the Garage Sales at the Expo in Birch Run.  Of course I said yes.  We had fun walking through and looking at all the stuff and getting a few deals.  I got the stuff in the pics and also some cheap cars for my surprise bag at church.  We left there and when we got back, we decided to go get a burger at Tony's and then get gift card and go to Best Buy and get an Amazon firestick.  They were out so we had them order one.  Sure am looking forward to getting it.   We came home and watched a really good movie on Netflix called Jump In.  I did some walking as I needed to get my 10,000 steps in for the day.  Glad to go to bed after that.

Went to an 8 o'clock appt for my mammogram.  After that I had to go get a blood test.  Had to fast for 12 hours...nothing to eat or drink.  Picked up some lunch meat, cheese, and fruit from Meijer's.   Headed home and Kimmy came right after I got there.  They surprised me and got me a 6 foot sturdy charging cord for my phone!  Love it.  They sure made me happy.  Thank you Kimmy, Jacob, Adam and Eli.  So happy the boys are off school and could come too.  Vikki, Peyton and Isaac came shortly after.  Papa took Jacob and Adam to Tim Horton's.  The rest of us visited and had lunch.  Then they got back and we all watched a super hero movie.  Melissa called and was at the Henry Ford Museum and asked if I would go let Abby outside.  We finished our popcorn and Kimmy and I went.  Abby got scared and peed when we got there.  Poor Melissa forgot her fitbit and she is getting tons of steps.  Papa reminded Jacob and Adam that they said they would pick up sticks in the yard for him taking them to Tim Hortons.  We all went out and everybody worked hard picking up sticks.  The yard looks great and we are so thankful for all that wonderful help.  Adam wanted to spend the night which is a big thing for him.  I was so happy he did.  We were supposed to go to Detroit for a motorcycle bikeorama so couldn't but will get him soon to.  Bikeorama ended up being cancelled boo hoo.   Supposed to get a 3" snow storm tomorrow.  Wish that was April's Fools!
