Evan reading us some jokes

 Jared surprised me with a new flavor of coffee this morning.  It was Starbucks vanilla coffee and it was really good.  We took a walk in the woods and then sat on the deck with our coffee.  We called and talk to Grandma.  Saw our hummingbird for the first time.  The orioles were singing loudly and it sounded so pretty.  At 9:30 we watched church online.  After church the boys gave me homemade cards for Mother's Day.  With my new Apple Watch I also got a small rubbermade deck box.  Its made really well and will hold all our bird food stuff.  We added sand to the in the little hole on the bottom to give it some extra weight. I really like it a lot.  Around 11:30 we headed to town to pick up pizza's and went to my parents house.  Kenzie gave me a pretty ring that she made and she gave uncle Jared a pendant with one of our dead honey bees in it. We brought Mom some bergamot to plant between her rose bushes.  Vikki and her family came and we all ate pizza for lunch.  Dad and Jared played 5 games of pingpong.  Jared won 2 of the 5 games.  Chuck and Sue and Melissa and her family arrived.  We all hung out outside. Mom and Dad got me a beautiful hanging flower basket!  Thank you!!  Eli spent a lot of the day on his rollerblades.  Evan read us some funny jokes from his joke book. The kids had fun on Peyton and Isaac's hoverboards.  Mom got a ukulele from Dad and Vikki brought her new one.  She taught me some cords and I had fun playing on it.  Hailey taught Nana some notes on it.  We stayed after everyone had left.  Mom, Dad, Jared and I played 3-13.  Dad won by a lot.  He was in the negatives most of the game.  We all had well over 100 points. Then Jared, Jacob and Dad played.  Jacob won and Papa had the high score.  I taught Mom what Vikki had taught me on the ukulele.  Eli had fun playing on it too.  The boys were hungry when we got home and made popcorn.  We watched Andy Griffith.
