Today I woke up and took Kenzie to school. Rodys mom stayed with the kids. My car was undrivable so I took Rodys moms car. When I got back home, all 3 kids were up. I was so tired I told them we were going to lay down for a little longer. I made Peyton and Evan a bed on the floor and Isaac slept in my bed. Everyone fell asleep right away, and we didnt wake up til almost 10am. I actually had to wake them all up. We got up and had breakfast, then I got the kids clothes on. Evans pullup was completely dry. He is so potty trained! He has been using the same pullup since he got here…3 days ago. IMPRESSIVE! We watched a cartoon and they bounced in the jump-o-lene all day haha 

We ate lunch and then they played some more, then took a nap. I got caught up on my shows and knitted while they took a nap. Then Rody took my car into the shop to be fixed. His mom came and stayed with the kids when we went and picked it up. Peyton and Isaac were awake when she got here but Evan slept til I got back. Rody ordered pizza for dinner and the kids ate a ton of it. Then Mom and Hailey came over, they picked up Kenzie from school on their way. I knitted and my mom crocheted until we had to leave to take Hailey to Gymnastics. Evan came with us. He was so excited to see his sister in action. Mom taught me how to crochet while I was there, but I didnt really have patience to learn it. But I did a whole row haha. I like knitting better. Then we just sat and watched Hailey. She has gotten so much better just since 3 weeks ago when I took her. I sure love watching her! She messed with me the whole time about the time during the summer when I did a cartwheel. Haha It was bad! and she lets me know haha So I pushed her into a mat lol.

Then we came home and got Evan ready for bed. Peyton and Isaac were already in bed. I made Evan a spider-man bed on the floor which he was so excited about.

Then Mom and Melissa got back here and Melissa’s appointment went very well…Praise Jesus!!! Just what we asked for…a good report!

We all hung out until Mel had to get Jack from school and Kenzie got out at 11:35 again this morning because of exams.

Then Kimmy called and said her sheep, Maude, who is 15 years old, passed away today. We sure loved that old girl. She was such a beautiful sheep…it was sad news, that’s for sure! :( But I sure am glad she isn’t suffering. Jared sheered her, so they could have her last wool…which is really cool! They have a rug someone made for them, from her first wool. And now they have her last. :) Cant wait to see what it becomes ;)

The kids took an early nap, since they woke up so early…they were so crabby. I wanted them to get a little nap before Kimmy got here. Jacob had a Doctor appointment at 3pm, which is only a few minutes from me. 

Rody got home from work early, which was really nice. Then mom and Hailey stopped over. I decided to take Hailey to gymnastics tonight, since her mom and dad couldn’t make it. So Nana took her home to get her gymnastic clothes. Then they came back. Kimmy and the kids got here before they made it back. It was so fun to just sit and visit with Kimmy, while knitting some more to my blanket. The boys just sat and watched a show on Netflix…they were so quiet you barely noticed they were even here lol. And of course, I forgot to take any pictures of them! Boo! I even said out loud, “I cant forget to get some pics!” And what do you know…not one picture of those cutie pies! I am so freakin mad!

Rody and Isaac playing legos

They stayed til a little after 6pm and they left at the same time I did to get Kenzie from wrestling practice.

When I got back home, I got Peyton ready to go with Hailey and I to gymnastics. We got to the gymnastics place and saw a lady who used to go to our church, so I said “Hi” and then Peyton said “Hi!” really loud and then said “I said Hi mom!” haha the lady said “wow shes brave!” haha it was cute!

It was so fun watching Hailey do her gymnastics, she is very flexible! I remember when I was flexible…a loooooooong time ago! Haha

Peyton loved watching her do all her stuff…she kept trying to imitate what Hailey did. Everyone who walked by would tell her good job, or she was cute, or something like that, and she even asked a lady to clap for her haha

She acted so goofy the whole time we were there. And there was a gym for the little kids, so she kept saying “I wanna show daddy the playland!” (facetime). Here it is

She just thought it was so cool! She kept walking away from me, just to go look at it.

Here is Peyton jumping high…just like Hailey! haha looks like she has baby legs

Here is a video link of some of the things Hailey did…and this goofball Peyton.

The guy teaching her is tough but very sweet! 

On the way home we stopped at McDonalds for a hot fudge sunday…I think Hailey loves our little tradition we are making. :) I hope so! She was so sweet! When I dropped her off, she was thanking me for everything. Haha, I just wanted to get out of the car and give her a big hug…but I didnt know if she would think I was weird haha. She was just so cute!

ON the way home Peyton was talking alot, about who knows what! My favorite thing about her talking is how she adds ing to any “en” word. Like

Chicken - she says Chicking

Bacon - she says Baking

Kitchen - she says Kitching

Frozen - she says Frozing

these are just some of her funny words hahaha

 We got home, Peyton got right in bed, and I knitted some more on my blanket. Now I am going to take a quick shower and go to bed! I am exhausted!  It was such a fun day!!!

This morning my sister Melissa called and asked if her and my mom and Evan could come over until they got Jack from school (which is right down the road from my house). I was like, heck ya!!! When they got here,

Melissa wasnt feeling too well. She decided to go to the ER so I ended up watching Jack, Evan, and 2 kids she babysits. Their dad came and picked them up after about an hour. But I still had Jack and Evan. Peyton, Isaac, and Evan all took a nap. And at some point, not sure what time, my brother in law Bruce brought over Max and Hailey and went to the hospital with Melissa. We watched Wild Kratts, and then the American Girl movie. And the kids played with the duplo legos all day. Mel and Bruce came and picked them up around 6pm Then we ate dinner.

I knitted another pair of slippers throughout the day so Isaac, Peyton, and I all have the same pair now. I need to get some more yarn, then I am going to knit Rody and Kenzie each a matching pair too :)

Then Hailey wanted me to take her to gymnastics tonight so I had Bruce drop her and her stuff off and we went, Kenzie came with us. The kids and Rody stayed home.

It was fun watching Hailey do all her stuff. I went on the gymnastic floor cuz I wanted to see what it was like, it was really bouncy haha. I think Hailey was embarrassed haha. Me and Kenzie knitted while watching Hailey. I knitted a dishcloth, which I am giving to Rodys mom tomorrow, and Kenzie worked on her surprise for Nana.

After gymnastics we got hot fudge sundays from McDonalds…yum! Then I dropped Hailey off at her house.

When we got home, Rody had gotten the kids in bed, and cleaned up the whole house…what a surprise! Made me so so so so happy! I needed this little break! I finished the dishcloth for Rodys mom, and wrapped it up with a little note inside. I though it looked really cute so, yep, I took a pic of it!

 

Well its been a long day and I am definitely ready for bed.

Night Night!
