Happy Birthday Grandma! Friday is my Grandma Yoder's 80th Birthday! She is still as spry as ever too. You definitely can't slow her down:) Hope you have a great birthday Grandma!

So Wednesday I had to go to work a little in the morning. Dr. Parker and his family are on vacation this week so I went in to help out a little bit. I took Chase to Ricky's mom's house and he cried when I left. I was so sad. He usually loves staying with "Me-Maw". I faxed her when I got to the clinic and she said he only cried for a minute after I left and then he was fine. I felt bad though. In the afternoon I took Joanna to the Doctor and she weighs 11 pounds and 11 ounces. I wasn't able to get her to sleep until 11:00pm last night though! Yikes.

This morning I did a 30 minute workout on the re bounder. I was happy I finally was able to exercise but boy I'm out of shape. I'm excited to get back into it. Chase was "exercising" with me too:) He has a little one pound weight that Aiden gave him that he uses. After I was done working out we went upstairs and ate breakfast. I was sitting at the table drinking my coffee and reading the paper and thought Chase was being especially quite. This usually means that he's getting into trouble, so I got up to see what he was up to and this is what he was doing.


He had taken off his diaper and put his seat on the toilet and was just sitting there. He didn't go to the bathroom but maybe he's ready soon! I made a big deal about telling him how good that was and taking his picture, etc. Anyway, later in the morning we went to work again for a little bit. I didn't have to stay for very long this time so I took both kids with me and then stopped at Walmart on my way home. I got the tiniest little collar for our new little puppy. It's the smallest collar ever! We still can't decide on a name! We have it between two I think. Either "Nickel" (we have one dog named Penny) and then we'll call her Nicky, or "Coffee".

I was able to clean my house again this afternoon. It always makes me so happy when I can vacuum and mop. It looks so nice afterwards I just wish it lasted longer.

Ricky's parents stopped by this evening and were going to pick some more corn for us to cream tomorrow but Ricky's dad had cut his finger badly at work today. He had to get two stitches inside the finger and three on the outside. He said he could see the bone! Eww. Anyway I was supposed to go pick the corn tonight but it's raining now. Maybe I can tomorrow morning. I think that's the news for now. I've been really busy but it doesn't seem like I did much now that I wrote it down. Here are some pictures of Ricky helping Chase hold Joanna and singing to her.

What a nice blog again. I love the pictures of the two little ones with their Daddy. Of course the picture of Chase on my lap is one of my favorites too. I love the B card you sent me. Thank you for remembering. I had my cataract surgery today and it went well. Thanks to all who were praying for me.

I'm Glad your surgery went well. I was wondering how you were doing.
