Walked at Sportszone 3 miles.  Vikki and Isaac came over and ate hot dogs and cheesy potatoes with me.  We sat outside and Vikki and I both sat our chairs up straight while we ate.  We were really sitting straight and at the same time we both lifted our handles of our chairs and went back a notch.  The timing was perfect and it was so funny we laughed till we cried.  Did some yard work.  Didn't like missing the grandkid's concerts tonight, but had our fun night at kid's care groups.  We roasted marshmallows and hotdogs on sticks and the kids learned about campfire safety.  The kids did a scavenger hunt also.  They had so much fun.  It was our last night of care groups.  Bill picked Vikki up and went to Hailey, Max, and Jack's concerts.  Vikki took great videos and posted them so I could see them.  They all did so great.  Max amazed me with doing all the motions.  I was so blessed when I saw him!  Jacob had his concert tonight to.  This was Melissa's kids only concert.  Happy Jacob has more so we could go to his other ones.  They all play excellent.

Went to breakfast.  Picked up a pecan coffee cake for Wes to celebrate his birthday.  Mike Vargas came and brought a friend.  There were 11 of us there.  Bill and Charlie didn't come because they went to a free Veterans breakfast with Jeff Eagle.  I stopped at Melissa's after breakfast and we sat outside for a few minutes.  Picked some lilies of the valley's.  Went to Kroger's.  Came home and cleaned and got ready for the potluck.  Vikki Eddy came over at 2 and stayed till 3.  We had a nice visit.  She took the decorated bags we did home. She dropped off baby formula and clothes from Shannon for me to give to Old Town.  Had our potluck at 6.  Great fun and some very special friends.

5/8/17 Kenzie took her GED tests and thinks she did great. She passed both of them so that was great news to get.

Hailey with her ribbons she got at the music festival.  She got 1's (which is the best you can get)

for her trumpet trio and double duet.  Great job Hailey!  This girl has talent!

Went to Younkers in Bay City.  Called Kenzie to see if she wanted me to pick her up early to go to lunch before her tests at Delta.  She did so I headed to get her.  We went to Tim Horton's and had sandwiches.  We went to Delta to make sure we knew where the testing center was.  Then we went to Walmart and spent time there.  Kenzie found a really cute kitten shirt.  Headed back to Delta.  She finished her two tests in about 1 and 1/2 hours.  Passed both of them.  Came over to my house and Vikki met us there.  We picked up Taco Bell food for dinner.  Kenzie showed us all her hula hoop routine.  Peyton and Isaac loved it. Peyton tried it afterward.  We dropped Vikki and Lenny off at the dog park and I took her car to take Kenzie home.  Peyton and Isaac rode with me.  Kenzie went in and brought them out a treat when we got to her place.  We picked Vikki up and she had me come see this cute little dog.  Looked like Lenny only small.  Same exact color and very curly hair. 

5/7/17...Went to church, went to Carols, went to Melissa and Bruce's for Evan's Birthday

Not such a clear picture, but it's the only one we took.  Uncle Fred did a selfie of us.  He warned us he wasn't good at it

Bill got right at helping Carol get the food all set out and ready

His reward was eating a roll early

We went to Melissa and Bruce's and celebrated Evan's 6th Birthday!  Lots of fun!

Evan walking in and seeing his cake for the first time

Love how excited and happy he was when he saw it

Daniel and Evan having a blowing contest.  Melissa thought she was getting a better deal on these and didn't realize they were the noisy ones.  The kids sure loved them...not so us adults

Evan with his cool cake!  We were singing and before we got done, he had the candles blown out

Evan, Max and Jack (Bruce in the background)

Melissa painted this car piggy bank a couple of years ago.  Evan loved it!

They were pretty excited to see what was in this big bag

Evan loved this!

Nana, Evan and Papa

Two happy boys!  Daniel made wrote such a cute note on his gift.  He said they were best friends forever!

             The kids sure had fun with Evan's birthday present!

We went to church.  There was a motivations speaker for youth there.  He had a great message and was funny at the same time.  His ministry goes into many schools and many lives are touched.
After church, we went to Bill's sister, Carol's house.  Shani was there already.  Fred, Debbie, Tom, and Matthew got there shortly after.  Fred had picked up chicken, mashed potatoes, dressing, rolls and veggies from Zehnder's for us all.  The food was so good!  Bill was pretty hungry so he helped set everything out.   We didn't have dessert and Matthew wanted to know where it was.  After that, we headed to Melissa and Bruce's to celebrate Evan's 6th birthday.  He was pretty excited.  Bill and I got our dessert there!  It was really good cake and ice cream.  He loved all of his presents and held them up after he opened them and said thank you.  I dug up some raspberries that had spread at Bruce and Melissa's and brought them home and planted them.  I dug up around the shed and got the weeds out.  Bill tilled the garden.
