 We went to Frankenmuth bible church today for Matthew's baptism.  The music was great and the message was great.  We were all tears for Matthew's baptism.  We are so proud of him!!  Aunt Debbie and Uncle Tom treated us to Tim Horton's afterward.  We stopped at Best Buy because Adam wanted to buy a monitor and keyboard to set up a gaming computer.  We also stopped at the store for groceries.  We got a bunch of rain this evening.  We watched Rise of Gru and had pop popcorn and ice cream.  Played some bedwars with the boys.

Old vs new tractor

I threw mugs this morning before taking the boys to school.  I dropped Jacob and Eli off at school and then headed to my parents house.  I stopped at McDonalds to get coffee.  Vikki and I met at my parents house because we wanted to surprise them with coffee and donuts for their 49th anniversary.  We parked in the back and I called Mom.  I wished them a Happy anniversary on the phone as we were walking to the house.  I asked her where she was and she said they were on their way to Frankenmuth!  We didn't expect that haha.  They turned around and came home to enjoy their coffee and donuts.  We sat on the swing under the gazebo and Mom started the fireplace.  We had a nice visit.  At around 10:30 we left and headed to Vikki's.  We worked in the back yard to finish the job we'd started the other day.  We dug up plants and did alot of weeding and replanting.  We raked the dirt around the tree and took out alot of roots.  Vikki went to the store for grass seed and brought back slurpies.  We took a break and enjoyed the cold slurpie.  We worked until it was time to leave to get the kids.  Vikki drove me to the van at Mom's.  Eli took care of Bo and collected eggs.  He was really hungry so had some scrambled eggs and bacon.  Jacob had practice with the Midland concert band from 7:15-9:30.  Jared got the new part for the tractor put on.  He did some scraping in the driveway and also took some scoops of manure out of the lean-to.  We played some bedwars with Adam.

Jacob took the air conditioner out of the window in the pottery room and packed it away.  I scrubbed the windows in there because they were really dirty.  I worked on trimming mugs and adding handles.  I cleaned the fish tank.  Took Jacob to school at 1:30.  Finished putting knobs on my handles when I got home.  Jared got home early.  I made popcorn to take to the soccer game.  I also put some burgers on the grill for the boys to have while were gone.  The varsity team played at 4:30.  We didn't find out until too late that the team we are playing doesn't have a jv team.  Mom got here before I could tell her.  Our varsity team won 8-0 with a mercy game just after the second half had started.  Adam's team did scrimmage with our varsity team for a little while.  Mom took us out to Culvers after.  Thanks Mom!!  Jared took Wyatt outside and he ran to the neighbors house.  We played some bedwars with Adam.  

9/6/22

I made Eli some scrambled eggs for breakfast.  Today I threw mugs on the wheel.  Jacob woke up around 9:00.  I dropped him off at school around 10:00 and headed to Vikki's house.  I stopped at the gas station to pick up Peyton and Isaac's a birthday treat.  Vikki and I sat on the deck for a few minutes and drank some coffee.  Then we went outside and took apart the raised bed around her maple tree.  We dug up some plants and replanted them.  Then we worked on emptying all the big flower pots around her house.  There were a bunch of them.  I set up her raised flower garden and filled it with the dirt from the pots.  We stopped to have lunch.  Vikki had made yummy roast carrots, potatoes, and biscuits.  She also made fruit salad.  After lunch we went back out to work in the yard.  We had to stop when it was time to leave and get our kids from school.  Jared got the new tractor tire today.  He picked Adam up from soccer at 5:30.  Eli had to be to soccer practice from 6:00-7:15.  Jacob had band practice from 6:30-8:30.  We grilled chicken legs for dinner.  I got to drive the new tractor this evening.  Its so nice!
