Spring break

Yesterday Angie came home with us after dinner for her 3 day Sleep Over. That was the good news but the bad news was that she started feeling bad before she went to bed. By this morning she felt a lot worse and had a fever and a nasty cold starting. So we decided that today was going to be a lay low kind of day for our 1st day of our Sleep Over.

Everytime her fever came back I could tell...her eyes got glassy looking and she started layering up with blankets and even my hooded sweatshirts. Then when her fever broke...she start shedding everything. Felt so sorry for her but I asked her if she wanted to go home but she didn't. So we just laid low...
We watched a couple of movies, then her fever broke and she wanted to go outside. She found a bird's nest


 and then when she looked closer and we found that there were 3 little eggs ...she was sooooo excited!

 Oh how I love being around these grandchildren of mine... they truly enjoy just the smallest of things of life. How blessed I feel with Angie, Jenny, Kai and Audrey in my life. Can hardly wait to see what wonderful things Miss Oakely will teach us when she gets here.
Jeff flew out for a business trip this morning, and I was so grateful that Angie was here with me. I am really not much of a loner, so I was grateful for her company.
Then we worked making some doll clothes. Angie and Jenny both are saving up for an American Doll for their birthdays. They are trying to earn half of it before her birthdays. So we decided to look at the patterns that I had and then we worked for a little bit on teaching her how to read patterns and how to cut them out.


 She only lasted for a little bit, then her fever and headache came back.
Her cough is worse tonight so we read our scriptures, said our prayers early and got her to bed. She really wasn't feeling good at all. Sure hope tomorrow she is feeling better.
Tonight I worked on my afghan some, almost ready to crochet the border on it. This one seems to be taking me forever, but Jeff tells me that is has been faster than I realize.
Then I watched a movie on Netflix, it was called Unconditional...it was great. Clean, uplifting, inspiring and based on a true story.

You truly should watch this movie, you will be glad you did, I promise!

Making Memories!

Kids came over today, to visit and for us to celebrate Father's Day with Jeff and John together. We thought we would do it today since the weather was suppose to be better, plus with me and feeling so tired, we thought today would work better than tomorrow after church.  It is such a treat to watch these girls play together, most of the time they really get along... and now Miss Audrey wants to be right in the middle of everything they are doing.
Can I just say that I love Fisher Price Little People Sets. My brother Ty used to play with them for hours each day and so did my kids, and now to see my grand kids have this much fun with them is neat. 3 Generations of a toy that continues to keep the attention of and helps them use their imaginations. Maybe I should write a thank you note to them? :)


While Jeff was working in the yard, the older girls played in our tree out front. Here is what they were so proud of, that they had made. A homemade Bird Nest! Imagination, isn't it the best?


I need this sign ( below ) when the kids come over! That mess is totally worth it!
Good night dear friends!
