2/18/17...Went to Kyle and Ellen's Wedding, Bill helped do the service

                            Loved going to Kyle Krause's wedding today.  

Not the clearest picture, but I love the way Kyle and his mom are looking at each other.  So cute!

Bill doing part of the wedding but I was at an angle where I couldn't get him in the picture

I borrowed these pictures someone on the other side of the church took of Bill doing his part of the wedding.

Cute picture.  It reminded Vikki and I of the video of Kyle as a baby a few months old where he would stick his lips out when they told him to and then stop and then do it again over and over.  It was so funny.  Guess he was practicing for this day!

Mr. and Mrs. Kyle Krause

Bill took me to I Hop for breakfast this morning.  Great breakfast!  Stopped to get a card for the wedding afterwards.  We went to Kyle's wedding today.  Bruce didn't go because he took their kids to the Hockey game.  Hailey was singing the American National Anthem and the Canadian National Anthem at the Dow Event Center with the choir from her school.  They sounded amazing on the video.  The wedding was very nice and Bill did a great job.  We have always been very close with Krause's and the kids call us Aunt and Uncle.  It was such an honor for Bill to be asked to do part of the wedding.  

We had a nice time at our family table at the reception.  Pastor Joliff sat with us too. The food was yummy and so was the cake.  I am so proud of my girls and their husbands.  They are always so sweet and are great examples for the Lord.  

How blessed we are!  Kimmy and Jared got lots of calls from Adam.  Papa and I were happy to get to talk to him too.  Happy no lambs came while they were at the wedding or reception.  

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.

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

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!
