This morning I got up and the kids were already up. We got ready for church. We left early because I had to pick up Matthew. We got to church and the kids wanted to go in the Sunday school right away.

After church Rody took the kids over to Melissas and Matthew and I met my mom and dad at Buffalo Wild Wings. I was just going to get a chicken salad but Matthew really wanted me to get some boneless chicken wings so I did. They were really good! I also had mango lemonade which was really good too. It was so fun hanging out with Matthew, he is such a sweet kid! We saw some people from church there so we talked to them for a while too when we were done eating. 

Here's Matthew in deep phone thought haha

Then we left and took Matthew home.

My mom and dad were going to Sam's Club so they asked if I wanted to come walk around with them, of course I did. It was fun!

When we were done there I headed over to Melissa's to pick up the kids. And then went home. Here are some pics I stole from Mel's Facebook ;)

We walked around the neighborhood and then stopped at Grammys on the way home.

We came home and played outside but it was so cold, so we went inside and watched Clifford. Then we ate 

dinner. After dinner the kids played and showed us tricks and then we did a quiz. I found this quiz on a friends Facebook page and I thought it was cute so I decided to ask my kids the questions. Here's how it went:

This morning I got up and got ready and headed over to my moms because we were going to Hannah Gager's wedding shower. We got there by 10am. It was so nice to see all our friends again. They had breakfast to eat, tiny pancakes on toothpicks, cinnamon rolls in the shape of hearts, bacon on sticks, quiche, fruit, and some other stuff. 

We played some cute games, and visited for a while and then we left. 

We decided to stop at our old school and then Krauses on the way home which was really nice! Cathy, Tim, and Kyle were there. We had a few laughs...it was so nice seeing them again! Then we decided to see if Greg was home, but he wasn't. So I snapped a pic of our old house and then I got out and took a pic of our old tree we used to climb.

Then we headed down the road to our other house

Then we headed down the road to Krauses old house, we lived in this barn when we were little 

So many memories

Then we went to my moms and are some spaghetti for lunch. Then moved around her living room.

I headed home and I was so tired! I gave the kids each a ring from Nana from the shower they were very excited then I got in bed and fell asleep from 3:00 til 7:00pm. I guess I was more tired than I thought!

I woke up and Rody was making tacos. They were good! We ate and then the 

kids played and watched tv before 

bed. I started watching a new show on Netflix directed by Michael Landon Jr which was really good. Then I went to bed.

I This morning we got up got ready and I got some stuff done and then we headed over to my mom and dads house. Kimmy and Eli were there. My dad and Kimmy were clearing a path in their woods and my mom was making lunch. After I went out and checked things out, I came in and knitted on Hannah's slippers. Then we ate lunch. My mom makes the best grilled chicken salad around! 

We hung out some more and I knitted some more. Then we went outside and Kimmy dug me up some lilac shoots to replant. 

When I got home, I planted and watered the lilacs right away. Then the kids played outside til dinner while I cleaned up around my garden. My neighbors talked to me a little bit and they were so nice! Then the kids are dinner and then Rody and I ate dinner. It was raining hard so me and Peyton sat on the front porch. Isaac was scared because there was some thunder so he stayed inside with Daddy.

Melissa called and asked if I would give Jack a buzz cut, he's never had one before but he has a friend who has one so he wanted one. It turned out so cute! Then we walked around my yard and then we watched Jack okay a little basketball! He's very good at it!

After they left I did some laundry and finished knitting the slippers for Hannah. They turned out cute. I made a big mistake on the first one I made, so I had to fix it but when I was done they were cute! 

Now I am going to bed! 

Here are some pics from today:

Eli writing his name for me...he's good!

Playing in puddles 

Peyton filled this tic tac container with water and put a couple helicopters in it and said they were her goldfish haha

Jacks haircut before and after...I was so mad that I got a pic with his eyes looking all crazy...oh well.

I had such a great day! First mom came over, then Melissa and Evan. The kids played in the sprinkler and pool and swing set and I had great visitors to talk to. They had a picnic lunch outside. Then played in the water some more. Then we came in the front yard and they all rode bikes til Mel had to leave to pick up the kids from school. 

After Kenzie got home from school, Me Her and the kids went on a 12.2 mile bike ride to SVSU to visit my cousin. On the way we stopped at yogurt yeti and Kenzie treated us all to a yummy treat! Then after visiting with Matthew for a little while we headed back home and my mom and dad were there. My dad tilled my garden. Then my dad said he would watch the kids while me and my mom went to get all my garden stuff. We had fun! When we got back my dad got all the rows lined up and then we planted while my mom got the kids in bed. Then she came out and planted with us. 🌱🌱🌱Then my dad put the fence around it to keep the nibblers out. 🐰🐻 

I had to go borrow some fence from them because I didn't have enough. Then I came home and put it up in the dark, took me a while but I got it! I'm so happy and so excited to see it grow and then even more happy to eat it! Haha thank you mom and dad for all your help! I love you more than you can even imagine!!!

I took this pic while on our bike ride 

After I came in I worked on Hannah's slippers, I got one done.

Then I went to bed
