2/9/17...Walked 3 miles, worked on my list for Florida, went to Faith Rider's meeting

Took this picture of Bill at four CMA meeting because I became the Webmaster and have to have a picture of all the officers on the website for our group.  Bill is president (and I am first lady ha ha)

Shane sent me this picture of Claire opening her card from us!  She's so cute!

Went to the Sportszone and walked 3 miles at high speed.  Came home and ran off copies of the Newsletter to take to the meeting tonight.  Started making my list of what to take to Florida with us.    

Went to Pizza Hut for our Faith Rider's meeting.  26 of us were there.  The Beemer family was there and sound like they will be joining CMA.  That makes us happy.  Luis gave a really good message on perseverance.  He had me and three others stand and read scriptures he had printed on index cards for us.  I took pictures of all the officers and the girl who sends out cards for our CMA page online.

2/8/17...Picked Peyton and Isaac up from school....went to McDonalds,...had kids care groups

Isaac and Peyton at McDonalds playing.  We had lots of fun!

Evan, Logan, Jacob and Jack

Bill and I went and put gas in the car and truck.  Only saved 40 cents per gallon this month.  Next month we will have $1.00 off per gallon for 35 gallons.  Kroger finally had gift cards quadrupled!

I picked Peyton and Isaac up from school.  We went to McDonalds and met Papa there.  The kids ate really good and then played with a couple of girls.  They were having lots of fun.  A lady came up to me and asked if I was a nana there with my grandkids too.  I told her yes.  She said her granddaughters were twins.  I told her mine were twins too.  She said their mom did in vitro.  I said Peyton and Isaac's mom did too.  I asked her how old hers were and she said 5 yrs.  I told her Peyton and Isaac were 5.  I told her their birthday was in Sept. and asked her when their birthday was.  She said Sept. 30 and the same year.  Then we talked about birth weight and found out all four of them were in the NICU together.  The kids sure had fun together.  She said maybe we would see each other at Mcdonald's again and the kids could play together.  After that, we came to our house and the kids played really good and had a snack.  We went to church at 6 and had class.  It was a fun but busy night.   Evan, Logan, Jacob and Jack got $5 gift certificates because they did their devotions for the month.  They were pretty happy.  

2/7/17...Went to breakfast, cleaned the house some more, Finished the book

We went to breakfast.  Only 5 of us there today.  It was rainy and foggy out.  After breakfast, Bill let me run into Kroger's so I could pick up a Tim Horton Gift card.  The gift cards are 4x gas points right now.  I picked up the ones I needed, but they were out of Tim Horton cards at the one store, so went to the other.  Came home and cleaned the bathroom.  Finished reading Christian's Hope.  It was the best book out of the three and a tear jerker.  We had ten come for care group.  Ron brought lots of yummy fruit and also some cookies for snack.  It was such a good lesson and the movie that goes with it is amazing.

2/6/17....Cleaned some and then read...These books are keeping me busy.

Isaac and Peyton

Finished reading Joseph's Dilemma.  Took it over to Vikki's so she could read it and then pass it to Kimmy to give to Jared next time we are there.  Melissa dropped Peyton and Isaac off and visited for a few minutes.  Went home and started reading Christian's Hope.  

2/5/17...SuperBowl Sunday....We went to church and then came home, got food ready and went to Kimmy's

We went to church.  Stacie and Kody were there.  Kody wanted to come in the church and sing and sit by us instead of going back to his class right away.  Vikki, Rody and the kids were there.  Isaac sure was worshipping the Lord.  He was dancing and lifting his hands.  So precious.  The message was so good today.  Melissa, Bruce and kids went to Bethlehem to church.  We got home, changed, I made the cheesy potatoes, wiener dogs, rolls, chicken and chicken wings.  Vikki, Rody and the kiddos came over and when everything was ready, they loaded it in the car.  We all headed to Kimmy's then.  We ate and had a very good time.  The game was a good one.  Atlanta was ahead until the 4th quarter and then the Patriots pulled ahead and won it.  Unbelievable!  It was sure fun to listen to Jared and Bill who were for opposite teams.  The commercials weren't very good this year.

2/4/17...Saturday....Quiet day at home for once. We read more on our books

Cute picture Melissa took of Hailey when they had girl time!

Hailey got this book at Barnes and Nobles.  She loves to read

We slept in today which we haven't done in a very long time.  We didn't have anything planned so it was a nice relaxing day.  We spent a lot of time reading our books which was nice.  

2/3/17....Went with Melissa and Vikki to Kimmy's. Had a nice time and yummy lunch. Checked on the sheep regularly but no babies today.

Hailey, Abby and Jeffrey Peanut

Vikki came over and we waited for Melissa to get here so we could head to Kimmy's to spend the day.  We went there so she could keep an eye on the sheep and be there if a lamb was born.  We got to Kimmy's and were excited to see her new lamb.  It is so cute.  It's mommy is sure protective of her baby.  We had to watch her so she wouldn't butt us.  Glad she's such a good mom though.  Kimmy made egg salad sandwiches and salad for lunch.  She always makes it the best!
Nothing like farm fresh eggs.  We had fun visiting!  So nice to be close and spend time together each week.  Kimmy gave their guinea pig to Melissa to take home to the kids after Melissa got approval from Bruce.  Came home so the girls could go pick up the kids from school.  Melissa's kiddos all loved the hamster.  They named him Jeffrey Peanut instead of plain peanut.  Bill and I took dinner to Karen and Rob at 5:30.  We had a nice visit with them and then we came home and read our books.  I finished reading the Shack and Bill read Christian's Hope.
