Kenzie eating her soup and Mocha begging!

Used my new soup mug from my friend Vikki!  It works great.

Kenzie organized my new box I got at the garage sales.
We went to church this morning.  Vik and her family, Melissa and her family and Stacie and her family were there and we all sat together.  After church we gave Melissa her birthday present in the parking lot.  She opened her mug like the rest of us in the family have.  It's a thermos and keeps things really hot.  Bill and I went to fill both vehicles up with gas at 1.00 off 70 gal. so saved lots of money.  Then we stopped at Mooney's an ice cream cone.  Yum!  Kenzie went to see Wild Crats with Melissa, Bruce and Family at the Dow Event Center.  When she got home she called and I picked her up to come finish her homework on my computer.  While she was here she had a cup of my homemade soup I just finished making and also organized my new container for my charms.  She did a great job.  I filled the bird bath so the birds will be happy.

Woody doing bike blessing!




Bill by all the bike as we were getting ready to leave.

Other bikes getting ready to leave.
Those of us from Faith Riders who rode in the cold today!


We went to the Bay Shore Kick off this evening.  We got there early.  All the tables filled up shortly after.
After we were done at the Harley Dealer, we stopped to visit with Joel.  He was doing an amazing job coloring a picture of a tiger.
We headed out on the motorcycle at 9 a.m.  Went to meet up at Meijer's.  It was pretty cold...in the 30's.  We went to the Harley Davidson Biker blessing on M-20.  They changed the day this year and with the weather cold there weren't too many that came out.  Usually there are so many bikes the parking lot is full.  Missed Kimmy, Jared and the boys who have always came but Adam had a soccer game so they couldn't make it.  Did hear that Adam scored in the game though and were so happy about that.  Way to go Adam!  We rode as a group to the Harley Dealership and had hot dogs and chili.  Then we went to visit Joel with Wes and Gayla before heading home.  The wind picked up and it was pretty cool riding.  Got home and turned my heated throw on and made a hot cup of coffee.  Then an hour later we headed to Colon for another motorcycle event.  We were in the car though as we just stopped there for a little while before going to Bay Shore Camp Kickoff Dinner.  The food at Bay Shore was delicious, appetizers (lots of different cheese balls..poor Bill) and veggies and fruit.  Chicken and tender beef for dinner along with all the fixings and cheese cake for dessert. Poor Bill again.  Jeff and Cindy (camp director and his wife) asked to sit with us at our table and were such a blessing to talk to.  The program was amazing as they honored Kent Fischel and all he has done for the Lord at the camp and else where.  He came to Bay Shore when he was in high school and was kicked out of the camp the first time he came.  The second time, he accepted the Lord and was never the same afterward.  He became the Youth Dean and and evangelist!  We sang worship songs from the different years which was fun.

Eli in Papa's truck.  Bill was watching him and took him to garage sales and bought him a few things  

Looks like Eli is Papa's boy!

Another day of garage sales!  It was beautiful today.  In the 50's and sunny.  We walked 4 and 1/2 miles while we shopped.  Dad watched Eli and took him shopping.  I found a scooter that was in great shape and thought Bill would like it for Outdoor Adv. so called him to come look at it.  He liked it and talked the guy down.Well when Bill came to look at the scooter, he saw Meissa and Bruce.  She called to see if dad would babysit Evan, so dad picked him up at Leaman's.We had run into Bruce and Melissa while they were shopping.  I told her that dad would watch Evan but they didn't want to take him all the way back to our house.  Bill took Vikki, Kimmy and I to our van when he went to get Evan..  I rode in the truck and the girls rode in the back.    Wish I would have gotten pics of Evan too.  He loved riding in Papa's truck and riding on the lawn mower.  We shopped until 3:30 and headed back to the van.  Then shopped more on our way down River Rd.  After I got home, I got ready and Bill and I went to Sports Zone for their fish fry.  It was so busy.  We sat at a table with two other couples.  We were able to share about the Lord with the couple next to us.  We came home and Bill finished the lawn and I dug up around my flowers by the shed.  We also put edging up along the bottom of the shed deck to try to keep critters out.  Came in and watched more of the show about America.

There was light snow on the ground as we headed out to the garage sales during the Walleye festival.  Peyton, Isaac and Eli were all bundled up and ready to shop.
Kody opening his Easter Basket.  He was so excited.

Kody liked his chicken sucker.
Kimmy dropped the boys off at school and then she and Eli came over to go to garage sales.  She brought our new computer back that she stayed up till 5am working on setting up for us.  What a fantastic daughter she is.  Thank you so much Kimmy. Vikki met us and we headed out in the cold.  We started out walking but then the wind picked up and the kids got cold  Pey Pey started crying.  We decided to go back to the car and then drive and leave the kids in the van where we could see them while we shopped.  I found a dry erase board/chalk board easel for $10 that is very nice.  Found other good deals too.  We had our lunch in the van.  Kimmy brought farm fresh boiled eggs for egg salad sandwiches.  They were yummy.  Vikki brought me a big bowl of fruit that was yummy too.  I cut up cheese in to cubes and slices.  We all had our water bottles.  Vikki brought animal crackers to snack on.  After we were done, Bill and I went to Stacie's to take Kody his birthday present and Easter basket.  He loved the suckers in his basket and the light up toy.  He took the puzzle and put the pieces in right away.  We were amazed at how it did it so quickly for only being two.  We came home and watched the story of America on tv.

Hailey is on the right where the three girls are together.They won this game.  


Max

Evan

Hailey in action!

Max's head is in the middle of the 4 boys.  He was playing the I-pod and drew a crowd!
Took Hailey home at 8 a.m. so she could be ready for her soccer game.  She was playing in tournaments today.  I talked to Melissa and we decided to meet at Valley Lutheran at noon to watch Hailey's game.  Her team won the first one.  We watched part of the next one, but then I had to leave.  Got home and took the clothes off the line outside, then Wes, Gayla and Joel came and we went to a silent auction, dinner, and live auction at Pastor Rick Webb's church.  He is Pastor Rex's brother.  The one that plays the piano so amazingly.  They were raising money for their kids church to put on a kid's event as an outreach.  We got some great deals.  Came home and watched a movie on Netflix.

This is where I started my day, reading the Word, worshipping, and praying.  It was so nice out.  Got up to 70 degrees today.

Hailey smelled my Hyacinths and loved the smell, just like her Nana.

Look at that stretch!  Owie

Now she put one foot up on the step and did the splits.  Even more of a stretch!  
Watching old Little House programs on U Tube!
Went and signed up for silver sneakers and walked a couple of miles at Sports Zone.  Went shopping for Kody's birthday gift afterward.  Also went to Michael's and the Dollar Store.  Picked up some things for bags we are filling for the Vets.  Picked up Kenzie from school, took her home and saw her new swing and new toilet.  Bill put it in for her.  Then I went and picked up Hailey.  Bill and I took her to one of her two favorite restaurants, Bob Evan's.  Her other favorite is Chen's.  She pick Bob Evan's though.  We ate, then Papa went home and her and I went shopping at Penney's.  Went home and watched Little House shows.
So much fun with this sweet girl!
