Rylie spent the night, so the
boys were hard at play all day. They were outside, even though it was only
22 degrees. They played video games and farmed with the toys. In the afternoon Rylie stayed with Karen and Orrie so our family could go visit Peepaw (Dad) in the hospital. It had snowed quite a bit and the roads were not very good. We saw several cars in the ditch driving to Ames. Wade and his family were already at the hospital and I was suprised to see Dad up walking the hallways. He already looked so much better to me. Sure he was still tired, but he sure looked better! The kids and I visited awhile with Dad and gave him more cards. I know Dad can't wait to get out of there and now he is one step closer. We also had plans for Jacob's birthday in the evening. Anderlik's, Ferrari's, and Spillman's called to say they wouldn't make the party due to the roads. Obviously Mom, Dad, and Alice would not be there so our party was small. We ate pizza at the Pizza Ranch in Boone and opened gift. Karen and Orrie brought Rylie and Wade's family ate with us before heading home. Jake got some very cool gifts. Everyone seems to know what he likes. He got an old style Gleanor combine, an old A Tracks player, some converse tennis shoes, and a vintage jeep. He was one happy boy. The birthday party ended with skating in Ogden. Jake had been wanting to skate and talked about it for months. Although the roads were bad, we made it skating. There was quite a crowd skating, most kids were age 10-14. It was just our family and Rylie, but it was fun for them. Luke made a few laps on his own too.
