2/17/17...Went to Kimmy's, went to Kyle and Ellen's Rehearsal and Rehearsal Dinner

Love this plaque that Jacob made me.  Thanks so much Jacob.  I will treasure this always!

This sheep looks guilty.  That's because she butted me today!

Me and my wonderful grandsons! (Adam, Jacob and Eli)

Peyton, Jacob, Isaac, Eli and Adam in the back

Such a nice day! In the 40's.  The sheep looked so nice out grazing.  Little Star is enjoying it too

Had a fun day with Kimmy and the boys.  Jacob made me an amazing carved board with Jacob (heart) Nana on it.  It is so nice.  What an amazing job he did.  We checked on the sheep but no action.  Only action was when Kimmy was weighing the triplets.  She would weight one and then I would take a picture of the weight so we would remember it.  I turned to take a picture of the last weight and momma sheep decided to butt me.  Surprise Surprise!  Vikki was on her way after she picked Peyton and Isaac up from school.  They only had a half day too.  Vikki went to the thrift store and found a nice chair.  She called to see if Kimmy wanted it.  It was only 4.99.  Kimmy and I went to pick it up.  We got Ice caps for Vikki and I and a French Vanilla Cap for Kimmy.  Tim Bits for kids.  I left at 3:30 because I had to get home to get ready for Kyle and Ellen's Rehearsal Dinner.  It was very nice.  Joan coordinated everything and all went well for such a big wedding party.  Everyone was so sweet and we all had a great time.  Cathy was doing really well.  She said she has been doing better and continuing to stand on the Word and believing for her healing of Parkinson's.  

Nice seeing Tim's sister, Jeannie and Cory.  Breanna will be at the wedding tomorrow.

2/16/17...Went to Jack's school and drove him and two friends to his field trip. Melissa drove for Evan's class

 

Jack and his two friends that rode with me to their field trip.  Hayden wouldn't smile in about 3 pictures I took.  Then I told him Jack had some bunny ears and see t he picture below for his smile!

He smiled in every picture after that.  So funny!

The Temple Theatre is beautiful!

That's Melissa and her group on the left a few rows up from us

Headed to the school for Jack's field trip.  Saw Melissa's Van at Vikki's so I stopped there.  Melissa had been there a while, but Vikki hadn't answered her call.  I asked her if she checked the garage for her car.  She had left for a few minutes to go to McDonald's to use the restroom.  When she checked the garage when I got there Vikki car was in it.  We decided not to knock on the door in case she went back to bed as we only had 5 minutes before we had to leave.  We got to the school and I waited by Jack's class and Melissa went to Evan's class.  Ginny and Tasha were waiting with me to drive too, so I visited with them.  Jack was super excited when he saw me.  He gave me a big hug.  We headed to our cars and Melissa and I were the last ones to leave because she had to put a big carseat for one of the kids in her van.  I waited for them.  We got to the Temple Theatre and drove through the parking lot behind it, but it was full.  Then we drove to the parking lot by the Dow Event Center.  It said $5 parking, but no one was there.  We followed another mom and parked there.  We were the only 3 cars.  We saw "Pete the Cat" which was a cute musical.  He's an author of kids books.  The kids really enjoyed it and cheered at the end.  When we got back to the parking lot it was pretty full.  Still no one there to collect money.  There were school buses parked from The Temple around the corner and all the way over the bridge.  Never seen so many buses.  They were lined up to pick kids up.  We took the kids back to school and then Melissa and I went and had lunch and a donut at Tim Horton's.  In the evening, we went with some others from Faith Rider's and did Bingo for the residents at Community Village.  They were so sweet and it was so much fun helping them and giving them their prizes.  

2/15/17...Kids Care group tonight

Kids in my class making a person out of legos.  They worked in pairs.

Evan and Isaac had to repair theirs.  Peyton was happy hers was sturdy.

Having lots of fun

Isaac and Evan in action

Read on my book Charlie lent me.  Went to the show with Charlie and Sue.  They picked us up.
After we got home, I made mashed potatoes to go with the round steak I had cooking in the slow cooker.  Made corn too.  Yum!  Everything tasted good.  After supper I went to teach my class.
They learned to share and to care about others.  They made lego people and then each pair of kids would line up across from each other.  They could hand it to them the first time and then had to each take a step back and had to toss it to each other.  If it broke, they would have to fix it.  The two that got the farthest away from the center first won.  It was Aleiyah and Morgan.  Their person was so sturdy it only broke once.  They sure had fun doing this.  They learned that sometimes people are hurting and feel broken and we can help to fix them by giving them hugs, giving something to them, just listening, praying for them etc.  We also played a game where they were in pairs and had to blow ping pong boats (balls) across a blue poster board (stormy water).  What ever team blue their ship to the person across from them and the other person blew it back the quickest won.  Peyton and Sienna won two times in a row and they played all the other teams.  They were pretty happy.  We played a game with our memory verse on cups where they had to find the first word and one of the kids had to throw a ping pong ball into the cup.  Once they did, they would go put the cup with the first word in a line across the room. We said that and someone had to figure out what the second word was and put the ball in that cup.  Evan was pretty good at getting the ball in.  They did really good and know the verse pretty well now.  I think all but one could say it when Joan had them go out in the hall.  Pretty proud of those kids.  Evan, Peyton and Isaac sure knew it good. The kids decorated bags to give to someone who they see that needs cheering up or is sick.  They are supposed to put something in it to give.

2/14/18 Happy Valentine's Day

My sweet surprises from my sweetie Bill.  Roses, chocolate covered strawberries and an I Hop gift card

Evan lost his first tooth today

The flowers look beautiful on the table

Care group tonight!  Marie, Roy and Vicki weren't here.  

A friend of ours (Al Leonhart) took this at Walmart.  So funny, especially how all of the men are standing way back from the cards like one will jump out at them.

Melissa's family Valentine Dinner

Love this cute picture of Bruce and Melissa

Evan with his heart he decorated

Max decorating his heart (It's their tradition)

Jack with his heart all decorated

Went to breakfast.  Afterward, went to Melissa's and used my key to go in and get my clothes basked I left there.  Went to Kroger to get a Tim Horton Card for Bill for Valentine's Day.  Got home and when walking through the house saw roses, a card, chocolate covered strawberries and a gift card on the table in the hallway.  The flowers were beautiful and smell so good.  Gave Bill a Tim Horton's gift card and Hershey miniature bars. Also found a big marshmallow heart for him.  We had care group so, got things set up.  Twelve of us here tonight which was wonderful since it's Valentine's Day.  The DVD was really moving.  This was the best Bible study I have done.  The discussion was so good tonight.  It's our last night for this study.  Next will be Galations!

Very nice day today!  

2/13/17....Happy Anniversary to Vikki and Rody!!! Went to Kimmys and spent time with her. Saw the new triplets which are very cute. Picked the boys up from school and took them to McDonalds

Happy Anniversary Vikki and Rody

Loved seeing the adorable triplet lambs and getting to hold all three together.  Kimmy said I am good with multiples....she's so funny

Fixed the kids Valentine bags and put stickers with their names on them on the bags.  Kimmy called and said they called her to come in early for her dentist appt., so she was out and heading home.  She couldn't stop here because she needed to check on the triplets.  I told her I would just come to her house before I picked the boys up from school.  Went there and took the boys Valentine's surprises and also Jared's Birthday Card.  Kimmy and I went out right away to see the triplets.  So cute and so big for triplets.  So glad their momma loves them and is taking such good care of them.  We went in the house and visited and then went back out to check on the sheep again.  Adam's sheep, Han, is sure getting heavy.  He is so cute.  So is Jacob's lamb.  I left at 2:35 to go pick up Jacob.  After I got him, we picked up Adam and then waited for Eli to come out.  When Eli came out he had glasses on, and had a cane.  (He dressed like a hundred year old man today).  He was saying Nana, Nana. and I looked around and asked if anyone had seen Eli.  It was funny because he took his glasses off right away and said look, it's me, I just dressed like an old man today.  He is was so cute and funny.  We were going to McDonald's and Kimmy was going to meet us there.  The boys got so excited when they noticed their mom was right behind us.  We made it through the light, but Kimmy got caught by it.  Then the boys were praying that we would get caught by every light.  We kept making them, until the last light.  We had to stop for it.  We got to McDonald's just ahead of Kimmy.  We all ordered and found a place to sit in the play area.  After the boys ate, they had fun playing.  They were all really hot when they were done so I asked them if they wanted McFlurries to cool them off.  Adam did, but Jacob and Eli wanted shakes.  We got them for them to eat on the way home.  I stopped to pick up no cheese tacos at Taco Bell for Bill.

2/12/17...Went to Church, taught Sunday School, had Max and Jack come spend time with us

Kimmy's Sheep had triplets....sooo cute!  8 lb., 9 lb. and 10 lb.,  nice sized lambs

Max, Jack and Mocha

Jack and Max

Jack, Max and Papa at McDonalds

Taught Sunday School today.  Had 10 kids in my class.  Sienna is funny.  When I go into the room where all the classes meet with Joan, she is always on my chair and then she either sits on my lap or shares the chair with me.  Then the kids all try to be first to hold my hand while we walk to class.  This week it was Sienna and Peyton who beat.  Gigi held on to the back of my shirt while we walked.  Such sweet kiddos.  We had fun in class and they are sure learning their memory verse quickly, even though it is a long one.  After church, we came home and ate dinner.  Then I called Melissa to see if Max and Jack wanted to come over for a while.  They did and were really excited.

They played Indiana Jones for a while and played with legos for a long time.  At 6:00 we went to McDonalds and they ate than played.  They had lots of fun with some other kids that were there.  They wanted shakes.  Jack started playing and forgot about getting a shake, but Max wanted his.  I got it for him and he ate it right away.  Jack came to the table after they were done playing and asked if he could still get a shake.  When we left, they got their free little ice cream cones (which Papa ate).  I ordered Jack's shake and also one to take home for Hailey and Evan.  Hailey and Evan were really happy when we brought them the shakes.  Bruce has the family room all primed and it looks great.  Can't wait to see it painted.  Bill and I played "Words with Friends" on our phones.  

2/11/17...Bill and I walked around Art Vans, Sam's and then went to Culver's

Me, Peyton and Papa at Culvers

Sara Jo had her baby, Mallory Emma, at 1:31 pm, 8 lbs. 5 oz. 21" long.

Got some things done around the house in the morning.  Later Bill and I walked around Menards, Home Depot, Art Van, Sam's, and Aldi's.  Called Vikki to see if she wanted to meet us at Culver's.  She and Peyton came there and we all had concrete mixers.  They sure tasted yummy.  I had a coupon which was nice.  Peyton was sure neat.  She didn't slop on herself at all.  We got home and watched a movie called Impossible.  It was about the thsunami (spelling wrong).  It was pretty good.
