Well the morning didn't start out too good today. Kenzie missed the bus (it came early)so I ran her to school. On the way, we realized she didn't have her magazine orders that had to be turned in. It was too late to go home and get them before dropping her off so after I dropped her off at school, I went back to get them and took them to the office for her. Then I was off to grandpa's house. We went to the store and got the groceries he needed and then to the gas station to fill one of his gas cans. He had a cold and now started coughing in the store. I picked up some medicine for him and checked with the pharmacist to make sure he could take it with his medicines at home. Talked to him later and he was doing better. I'm glad of that. Keep him in your prayers. I guess he caught it from Aunt Jody last week.
I ironed, cleaned, baked, made homemade veggie soup, and did my Bible Study lesson. It was a very busy day. Kenzie came home from school and we had no bake cookies and milk. We talked about her day. When papa got home we ate and then got ready for our Bible study. We had a great lesson on love. Terrific!!! I just tucked Kenzie in bed and now I am getting tired myself. Nite Nite!!!

Today I got up and ironed creases in dad's dress pants. Then I did tons of laundry. I was able to hang two loads out on the line which was nice. I went to grandpa's and helped him decide where he wanted to hang another line on the porch.
Took his garbage out for him and headed back home to finish staining the deck. I was working on the deck when I heard Mocha bark. She was in her cage, so I came in to see what she was barking about. I saw somebody at the front door so went to see who it was. It was Rody. He told me he had been to the Christian book store and had bought alot of stuff. Then he showed me the book the Love Dare. We didn't know they actually had that book out. It was from the movie we had just gone to see with the church. Well, he said that copy was for me and handed it to me. I was so happy and it touched my heart so, I cried when he left. That was just so sweet of him to do for me. After we saw the movie we had all commented that it would be nice if they had a book like the one they used in the movie. Such a big blessing that was. Thanks so much Rody. I love you!!! Dad was happy too. I read the first day's dare tonight. Awesome!!!

We went to church and afterward Melissa, Hailey, Max and Jack came over to spend the day. Bruce had to work. We ate pizza and spaghetti and visited. Max loved playing with the new construction trucks I found at the garage sale. I can't believe how he sits there for so long and is so happy playing with them. Hailey liked the new farm set, especially as there are so many animals with it now that I have three sets. She also liked using the coloring stencils I found at the garage sale. Love those garage sale finds. Wes and Gayla called and were going to come over, so I picked up something for dad to eat and then came home right away to visit with them. They were happy to see Melissa and the kids and Melissa and the kiddos were happy to see them. Melissa left at 6:15 as Bruce had something he was fixing in the crock pot for supper. We watched a Dave Roever video and then went out to eat with Wes and Gayla. The picture of Hailey in the cowgirl boots and hat are adorable. They used to be Kenzie's and we have cute pictures of her when she was little in them too. Jack was a good baby and I was happy to hold him lots of course.

Today we had a large group of us that met at church and then went to clean up part of our city. Vikki, Rody and Kenzie came too and worked in our group. We had so much fun
working together. Kenzie really did a great job and worked hard the whole time. We're proud of you Kenzie!!! One business fed us lunch which sure was a big blessing.
We were really hungry by the time we were finished. At 4:00 we had date night at our church. We all met and went to see the movie Fireproof. It was outstanding.
We sat with Vikki and Rody and enjoyed spending most of the day with them. Kenzie did childcare at the church to raise money for her mission trip next year. She loved it! We went out for dinner with Vikki, Rody and another couple. Such a nice fun day it was. When I got home there was a message from grandpa saying Peter Cottontail had come hopping down the bunny trail and got lead poisoning. That was his cute way of telling me he got another rabbit. He's so cute and funny.

Here's a picture of my garage sale find.

Forgot to put the picture of the drawing the thing I found at the garage sale makes...

9/24/08 Fun at the Zoo

We had a wonderful day at the zoo. The weather couldn't have been nicer. The wolf has always been off in the distance, but this time he came really close to the windows. Did you notice the picture of Max with the water behind him. Could you see the alligators? The kangaroos came really close too. They were so neat to watch hopping. Jack was a very good baby for his first visit to the zoo. We all went on the train ride...I was a little disappointed that there was no tunnel now. Boo Hoo. Thanks Melissa and Bruce for inviting me along. I had a great time.

Vikki, do you know who this person is who was working at the zoo? We were so happy to see him there.












This is Bruce using the cell phone after I believe he asked Melissa what she was taking the cell phone for...with expression of course...

Aren't these pictures udderly...adorable. Water actually came out when the kids squeezed and it fell into the bucket. How fun and educational!
