  Good morning.  We had a pleasant day yesterday.  The beginning of it was a bit amusing.  I ended up leading SS opening (which I've never done in this church) and Rob ended up leading all of church except the sermon.  Neither of these were asked of us, its just what happens in a small church.  So Rob had to lead music, and do communion.   The church of Christ doesn't believe in musical instruments, so that was lead music accapella.  My poor husband for all of his gifts can NOT sing.  So it was umm amusing.      After church we came home ate dinner and then decided to run into Walmart to get a mouse, and then go visit my parents.   The drive was gorgeous.  The roads were clear, but the snow alongside them was incredible.  The above picture is for Zvanzivou.  Its Lake Crescent.  We have to drive around it to get to town.  And it was just so beautiful yesterday.   I bought the mouse, and then we headed to my parents. 

  
  

  

  
  

  We rather forgot about their very long gravel driveway.  It was covered in three inches of glare ice.   We drove the first mile and a bit of it, and then got to the big hill.  My parents had realized what we'd forgotten.  There was absolutely NO way our van would go down that hill.   So they left their 4 wheel drive vehicle for us to get the rest of the way.   Three of the kids ran to grandma's house from there.  (a 1/4 of a mile)  the other three piled into my parents suv.   (After attempting to turn around the white van which in and of itself was a bit of a challenge.)

  
  

  We had a nice visit.  The kids all played outside and "ice-skated"  on this huge puddle.  And my sister had made very nummy cinnamon rolls.   After we'd visited for awhile.  My parents and us all headed back up the hill.   My mom and I sat in the very back of the van...and my dad drove out of the little slump we were in.   With the added weight, and my dad's experience we got out no problem.   We waved good bye and headed home.  It was nice to have a non-reason visit with them. 

  
  

  

  
  

  I thought I should share some pictures of kids and puppies.   This is Zeri, Jer and two of the puppies. 

  
  

  

  
  

  Kaylin and three of them.  The little white one on the left isn't walking yet.  I've never raised puppies before...so I'm not sure if I should be concerned or not.   The brown one couldn't walk until two days ago, so I'm hoping it will figure it out.  It scoots...it just can't get its belly off the ground. 

  
  

  

  
  

  Jamari getting his face checked out.  It's apparently clean.

  
  

  

  
  

  Rainee and the fat little brown puppy.  They are definitely gonna be used to kids.  *snicker*

  
  

  Anyhow school today, and I'm hoping to begin painting the boys bedroom.  Something I've wanted to do since we moved in.  But one has to pace themselves.  ROFL
