Today was fun as Kimmy came over with the boys. I was so excited to see them. I missed them and was going to go to their house to see them, but Kimmy wanted to come to my house so she could go do some shopping. First we picked up grandpa and went to a couple of places looking for honeyrock melons. We didn't find any, but did pick up some seeds for our gardens. We spent some time with grandpa at his house.
The boys liked the toys. Papa surprised us and came over. He had the boys laughing hard. We all got a good laugh at grandpa. He wanted to watch American Idol and Dancing with the Stars, but they came on at the same time. He told us he fixed the problem though. He carried his tv from his bedroom out to the living room and had it next to the big tv. He was going to watch both shows together. Too funny!!!
We left and had lunch at my house. Then Kimmy groomed Mocha while I played with the boys in the basement. We fixed water pipes and put out fires. Jump ropes were our hoses. Such fun those boys are and such good imaginations. They all stayed for dinner. Vikki came to get Kenzie after work, so they stayed too. We had meatloaf, baked potatoes, corn, peas, fruit, and brownies. It was another nice family dinner.
Dad and I had to leave at 6:30 to go to a little boys showing at the funeral home. It was so sad. I could hardly stand being there. I'm glad he is in heaven and don't need to suffer any more. He was only 6. Dad is downstairs right now trying to knock me out of 1st place in skiing. I'll be busy tomorrow trying to knock him out of first place if he makes it. I posted some pictures of Adam when he spent the night at our house. He was such a good boy. He is sure fun to have around. What a sweet personality. My pictures actually go from the bottom up...where Adam has his suitcase and then up to be in the right order. I boo booed.

Picture board the girls did for my birthday party. Great job!!!

He loved playing with papa too. He kept trying to crawl up by papa and then get away.

Papa loves playing with his grandkids and can really get them laughing.

Today I took Grandpa shopping to three stores. He's always fun to be around.
I got home and put my groceries away and then I tried to call Bill. As I was waiting to leave him a message, my home phone rang and it was him calling me. I went with him to visit a family whose dad had just passed away and Bill is doing the memorial service. I volunteer where Bill works so I can go with him to some of his visitations. They were such a sweet family. I have met the nicest people when I go along. We went out for lunch and had a very nice time. I love spending time together. I am puting on some pictures I took of my sweet grandchildren that I didn't get posted right away. I forgot to mention, the other day I called grandpa and instead of going to his speaker phone, he answered the one on the wall. I asked him if he had his hearing aids in because he didn't seem to be understanding what I was saying, and he answered, "No, I don't have a hangover." I had to laugh so hard.

Welcome to the family Abby Doll 3/28/09

I got to watch Jack today while Bruce and Melissa went to pick up their new puppy. Jack was so sweet and such a good baby. I loved how he would just let me hold him and was so content. What a precious baby. He never fussed once. I loved the way he eats his food. No mess. He opens wide and loves his food. Vikki, Kenzie and Rody came over so they could see the new puppy when Bruce and Melissa got back. I made chicken, mashed potatoes, and corn for dinner. Vikki picked up Grandpa for me and he came to eat with us and to see the new puppy too. We all ate and then the puppy and his family arrived. Hailey was so excited to show us all Abby Doll. She is such a cute puppy and seems to have a great personality. Bruce, Melissa and the kids ate before they left. It was a great day.
