Nana put an angel in the gift bag.  Hahaha.  He loves to hid them around Nana's house.  

I trimmed mugs and made handles.  Then I worked on downloading pictures to the blog and trying to catch up.  I cleaned the house while pictures were downloading. It takes a long time with our slow wifi. I was washing baseboards on the bathroom and went to stand up and I hit my head hard on the windowsill.  It made me bite my tongue so hard it was bleeding.  Ouch!  When I got home from school with the boys Eli went out to take care of the animals.  Jacob took Wyatt outside. I made some brownies and a cake.  Mom, Dad, Vikki and the kids came over around 5:00.  Today we are celebrating Eli's birthday.  Jared picked up pizza's on the way home and I also made pizza's in the oven.  We had brownies and ice cream for desert.  Eli opened his present from Nana and Papa.  In the gift bag was one of Nana's angels - hahaha!  In his card was money so he could buy MVP+ on hypixel.  Thats the game we love playing together.  Jacob and Adam have MVP+ and Eli is so happy to now have it too.  Eli helped us with the design of his cake and then Jared and I decorated it.  The boys played Minecraft bedwars.

 I did some shopping for Eli's birthday this morning.  Came home and threw some mugs on the wheel.  Jacob had alot of homework this evening.  He ate dinner in his room and didn't come out until late.  We played 3-13 with Adam and I won.  Then we played some bedwars with Adam and Eli.

Lambs in the creep feed.

After church we played some bedwars with the boys.  This afternoon I went grocery shopping and Jared picked up pizza and pops for lunch.  Jacob had a lot of homework to do and then practiced his instrument.  Jared and I played a game of 3-13 and I won.  I ended with -99 and Jared had 47.  Eli and I played a few games of war. We had popcorn, pop and ice cream and watched tv.

 Jacob drove the car to get our Sat goodies.  They also dropped off a package at the post office.  We played some bedwars this morning.  Then Jared and I worked on the loom making a rag rug.  Jacob practiced his instrument.  Eli and Adam played with legos in their rooms.  Jacob drove to Bay city to take his first clarinet lesson with a private instructor.  His lessons are every Saturday from 5:30 - 6:00.  Eli and I finished our game of war.  Eli wanted to quit and I was getting cocky about how many cards I had.  Then Eli won a couple of my A's and a couple of my jokers and the game took a turn.  We sure had fun.  I ended up loosing.  Eli and I went out to take care of the animals.  Eli was carrying in a bag of wood pellets and he fell back on the ice.  I picked up the bag off of him and he got up and took it back.  He fell again hard at the bottom of the steps.   When Jacob got home from practice he went right in his room to practice his instrument.  He really enjoyed his first lesson.

 Eli and Jacob had a scheduled day off school today.  And Adam got the day off for a snow day.  Yay!  Adam and Eli were up early but Jacob slept in until around 10:00.  We watched tv and played some Minecraft.  The boys helped me clean the house.  I trimmed mugs and added handles.  Jacob had a 3:20 eye dr appointment this afternoon.  His eyes haven't changed and the dr said he's doing a good job taking care of them.  We ordered him some new contacts.  Jacob was excited to get his Chosen order in the mail today.  He ordered a sweatshirt, hat and some bracelets.  Adam also ordered some bracelets.  Jacob had pep band this evening and got home around 9pm.

There was a rainbow in the sky on the way to school this morning.  I did some cleaning today and made some mugs on the wheel.  On the drive home from school the trees in the woods were glistening because the sun was shining on them and they are still covered in ice.  Jacob wanted me to turn around so he could get a picture.  Adam and Eli wanted out so they could walk home.  By the time we got back the clouds were covering the sun so Jacob didn't get his picture.  Jacob worked on homework and practiced his clarinet.  Adam and I played some Sequence.  Then Eli and I played war.  The boys had fun playing minecraft.  Jacob and Eli have off school tomorrow.  Adam is hoping for a snow day.

Eva and her lambs.

The boys all had a snow day today because of ice.  Jared went into work around 7:30.  I trimmed mugs and added handles.  Eli went to the barn to give Bo some hay and found Eva had lambed twins.  He dragged them to the stall so Eva would follow.  Then he came inside to get me.  He helped me take care of the new lambs and we tube fed them.  The boy weighs 16 lbs and the girl weighs 10.5 lbs.  The boy lamb had a hemorrhaging umbilical cord so I tied that off.  Eli got some water (without me asking) and I got some hay for Eva.   Adam and I played some games of Sequence.  Later Eli and I played a game of war with a double deck of cards.  Jacob is working on an essay and then practiced his instrument.

 I made mugs on the wheel today.  For dinner I made chicken noodle soup.  Eli said his teacher Mr Henderson said we need to have tacos on this Two's day.  We also made tacos for dinner.

Congrats Jacob!

Adam had the day off of school today.  He wanted me to wake him up before I took Eli to school.  Jared and I had doctor appointments this morning.  Jared's appointment was at 8:30 and mine was at 9:30.  Jared came out while I was checking in.  He sat down and waited to talk to me.  The other lady saw him and asked if she could help him.  He told her he was my husband.  She said, "Oh I swear someone just came in that looked just like you."  Jared told her that was him and we laughed.  Haha.  The appointments went well.  We had physicals, bloodwork, urinalysis and I got a tetanus shot.  From there I went to Tim Hortons to get a cappuccino and also got Adam and I blueberry muffins.  Adam and I played some Minecraft and we played many games of Sequence.  When we got home from school Eli and I went to the barn to feed. We brought Bo into a stall because we're supposed to get freezing rain tonight.  Jacob got a letter in the mail from the Midland concert band saying that he was chosen to receive a $500 music scholarship award!  He was very happy!  He starts private lessons on Saturdays and this money will help with those.  He is also very excited to get to play with the Midland concert band.  He gets to begin practicing with them in April and there will be a concert in June.  Jared and I played a couple games of sequence before dinner.  After dinner Adam Jared and I played a game of 3-13 and I won.  Jacob was in his room all evening doing school work and taking a test.  He ate dinner late.
