2/22/17...65 degrees out and beautiful! Had Hailey come spend girl time with me.

I was happy to see Peyton and Isaac (and Lenny) got out of the house after being sick

Cute picture of Shani and James

It was so nice out, Mocha and I sat out.  She enjoyed the sun and I read my Bible and enjoyed my time with the Lord!

Hailey had fun on the trampoline

She sure is good at flips

Went to sports zone and walked 3 miles.  A young guy that walks super fast and reminds me of Louise's grandson, Nick, always passes me really fast (and I think I am walking pretty fast).  Today he slowed down when he got next to me and told me he liked my shirt.  I wore my shirt that says "Living free to worship Him" on it that I got at a ladies church retreat.  Love when someone comments on my tee shirts with Christian Sayings on them.   I came home and made vegetable soup.  Took some to Vikki for when they are better.  Wore my face mask and washed my hands really good when I dropped it off.  Came home and decided to check and see if Hailey could come over if she didn't have too much homework.  Got a call that she wanted to come so I went to pick her up.  Took her to Taco Bell and then we came home and she jumped on the trampoline.  After that we watched the movie, Do You Believe.  Went to Aldi's and Walmart to walk around before I took her home.  Sure had fun with that sweetie.  Was happy to hear Vikki, Rody and the kids got out today and were feeling better.  Then I got messages saying Vikki and Peyton weren't feeling good again.  Praying.

2/21/17 Went to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned.

Went to breakfast, had devotions and took prayer requests.  Left there and stopped at Melissa's to drop Hailey shirt off.  Went to get some groceries at Kroger's after that.  Went to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned.  My hygienist told me the dentist stayed home sick today.  She cleaned my teeth, talking constantly.  She lives on our road.  She said she wants to come to our church sometime.  It was raining, but was warm out still.  The sun came out in the afternoon which was nice.  Finished doing the newsletter for Faith Riders and got it sent out.  Bill went to an officer's meeting, but I am staying home to get some packing for Florida done.

2/20/17....Peyton, Isaac and Vikki are sick today. So nice out that I hung our sheets out on the line.

Isaac with his bucket and Peyton laying around.  Poor sweeties are sick along with their mommy today.  

Love having sheets on the line.  They smell so good when they go back on the bed.

I was shopping today and found this cute shirt for Hailey for $3.  Couldn't pass that up.

Mikayla, Hailey, Alli and Kelly at Bavarian Lodge for Mikayla's 13th Birthday Celebration
Was sad to see that Vikki, Peyton and Isaac are real sick.  Praying for them to feel better fast.  Got ready and did laundry.  Beautiful out so I hung it out on the line to dry.  I went shopping after that.  I was trying to find a cover up for swimming.  I went to Walmart, Target, Gordmans, Burlingtons, TJ Max's, Kohls, and then Meijer's.  Found one at Kohls but it was $40 and no way was I going to pay that.  I left to go to my last store, Meijer's and found one and it was on sale for $17.  It's pretty much like the one Vikki had gotten me which I loved.  I also found a $5 top I liked for me and a $3 for Hailey.  Borrowed this picture of the girls at Mikayla's birthday party.  What a great group of girls who love the Lord!  Thankful Hailey has such nice friends.

2/19/17... Went to church, went for a mile walk, went for a motorcycle ride

Shani's little guy is crawling all over and pulling himself up to stuff now.
Beautiful weather in the high 50's.  Nice day for a ride!!!

Going down River Rd.

Loved seeing this eagle's nest with two eagles sitting in the tree by it


Melissa and Bruce's family room turned out beautiful.  What a difference with the wallpaper and chair rail down and newly painted walls.  Bruce did a great job!
We went to church.  Stacie and Kody were there today.  Isaac was worshipping so cute.  Came home and got a text that Peyton was sick and crying because her legs hurt. Started praying right away.
I went for a walk because it was so nice outside.  Got about a mile down the road and heard a motorcycle coming.  Bill told me to hop on and we rode home to get dressed for a longer motorcycle ride.  We went 30 miles.  It was so nice and I didn't get cold at all.  When we were going down River Rd., I saw an eagle's nest with two eagles sitting in the tree by it.  This is the fourth next close by around here that I know of.  Love seeing them.  We turned around so I could take a picture.

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


Pretty excited couple

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.
