• ~6th Birthday and Valentines Day~

     Saturday evening we were invited to Sean Miller's birthday party....can't believe he is 6 already! He was so little when we moved down here!
   He requested a Wall*E cake for his birthday! I think his mom does a great job at decorating cakes!! And it was SO yummy....layered with creamy icing in the middle, and covered with peanut butter icing!! MMMMM!!
  
  
  
  Heidi (cousin of the parents), Carol (the Grandma), Naomi (the Great-Grandma) and Alma (the former Sunday School teacher) visit while preparing the food.....
  
  
  
  Sean requested that the children come dressed up. Danny & Tamara wanted to by cowboy/cowgirl. Neither of them have boots anymore, and Tamara's cowgirl hat is too small, and Danny couldn't find his. (We found it laying in plain sight after we got home!! How does that happen, when 4 people are searching for it?? ) So they wore what they could!
  
  
  
  *Happy Birthday to Y-O-U!!!*
  
  
  
  Time to blow out the candles and make a wish!!

  Saturday night, I woke up at midnight and felt a wave of nausea come over me. For the next 3 hours, I went from the bathroom to the bed, to the bathroom, to the living room, to the bathroom.....thinking I must surely feel better soon! I had uncontrollable shaking, which made me wonder if I was having seizures...wondering if I should write my family a note telling them I loved them and that I want to meet them all in heaven someday! Seriously, why do things look so bad during the night!?? I was sure I was going to pass out! But about 3 AM, I finally felt a little better and was able to lay back in bed and go to sleep!
   Woke up Sunday morning feeling drained, but not nearly so bad! The kids and I stayed home from church....I had NO idea what I had and sure didn't want to spread it to anyone else! Thanks to Heidi for teaching my class again!
   Dan was on schedule to preach at the prison yesterday, which was kind of a bummer beings it was Valentine's Day. Earlier in the week I planned to make a nice supper for us, but with the way I was feeling I just wasn't sure if I felt up to cooking. By 1 PM I was feeling much better and food didn't turn my stomach anymore, so I proceeded with the planned meal.
  
   Dan came home with these..... He also gave me a box of chocolates and a soft little teddy the day before!
  
  
  
  Our family
  
  
  
  I made breadsticks, Olive Garden salad, and Chicken Divan for supper. We also had Blueberry Danish and coffee later in the evening!
   Pic taken after my salad was half eaten! LOL!

   Got to watch a little of the Winter Olympics in the evening....and then Extreme Home Makeover!! That has got to be one of the best shows around!! Tamara told me, "This show makes me so emotional!" Me, too, sweetie, me too!!
  
  ~Be a blessing and be blessed~
  
  Proverbs 15:4 The tongue that brings healing is a tree of life, but a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.
   Let's use our tongues for the glory of God this week!!
