Thursday, 9/25/25, Kody came over do work for us, He was a great helper, went to Culver’s, worked more,

Kody had lots of big branches to haul to the fire pit for Papa.  He worked hard and had such a joyful; attitude.  Thanks so much Kody!

 

Bill worked really hard cutting branches down off of the trees in our yard

He cut the branches that were on the roof of the garage

He did a great job

We went to /evan’s first football game.  He played a lot and did great.  Has only been practicing for 2 weeks.  It was so much fun watching him play.  He’s Number !.

Stacie texted us last night to see if we had any chores for Kody to do.  He didn’t want money, just wanted to help.  Bill cut down branches that were hanging over the garage from the trees and also trimmed low hanging big branches off the trees.  Kody hauled them to the fire pit for papa.  After they were done with that big job, we went to Culver’s for lunch and concrete mixers.  It was fun talking to Kody and hearing about his summer.and camping trips, soccer games,   We rode in the Jeep there and I let him ride in the front.  Papa put the screen top on and they rolled their windows down halfway (I was in the backseat so didn’t want to blow away lol)  

While Bill and Kody were working this morning, I used my Stihl and cut down plants and trimmed bushes.  When we got home from lunch, Kody picked up all of the stuff I had cut off.  He really is a great worker and is quick and cheerful.  I sure love this boy!  I told him what a great job he did.  Bill had more for him to haul to the fire pit after that.  They sure worked hard.  He took a break and played basketball for a while.

Bill and I got a nice nap in.  Then we got ready and went to Evan’s first football game.  They played Michigan Lutheran Seminary.  They got a touchdown first, then Evan’s team got a touchdown next and then made the 2 points.  In the 4th quarter, the other team got another touchdown and 2 points.  Our team tried hard and did great, but time ran out and they didn’t make another touchdown.  It was so much fun watching Evan play and hanging out with Bruce and Melissa.  We left and Melissa waited to see if she could get a picture.  We didn’t think we would see him, but when we got to the end of the field, they all came across from the other end of the field and by the time Bill got out of the Port a John, Evan came by me and we were able to talk to him and get pictures.  We were really happy about that.
