I picked these peonies and they sure look and smell beautiful!

Vikki picked these daisies for Kenzie on our walk yesterday.  Kenzie accidentally left them on my dresser out of water and they were really wilted.  I threw them away and then Kenzie called and wanted me to keep them any way.  I put them in water and this is what they look like now.  Amazing!

Yikes, this is what I found when I went out to check to see if the poison ivy was killed.  Mocha was going up to it to smell it and got really close when I saw it and screamed at her.

I got up to find that Kenzie's daisies were revived and beautiful after being so wilted.  We got ready and left for Jack's graduation from kindergarten.  They showed cute pictures of the year,  the kids got their diplomas, they sang a song for us  and then they showed a cute video about learning all you need in Kindergarten.  Jack was so cute.  We went in to the gym afterwards and they sang more songs for us that were really cute and then we had cake and punch.  
After we left there, I came home and got creamer and cleaning supplies.  I was going to help Kimmy clean, but when I got there she told me she had it all done.  We just got to enjoy the day, the kids, our walks, and the deck.  We did get to pick some rhubarb and cut it up together.  Fun working together.  We walked a couple of times through their woods.  The boys were really cute and sweet and gave me super big hugs.  I left because I thought we had an officer's meeting for Faith Riders but it was cancelled because only 1 other person could make it.  We decided to go to Outback and eat as we had 8 dollars off and a gift card.  It was delicious and we had a very nice time. Walked out in the woods and saw a snake that Mocha was about to sniff.  Yikes! Glad I saw it first and screamed at her. Talked to my sister, Jody for a long time and caught up on her and her family.  Balanced the checkbook and read a Bird's and Bloom magazine they sent me for free.  Than watched some of a series about America.  Very interesting.

This is the blanket my daughter, Kimmy knitted.  She and Jared even spun the wool.  The white is from their favorite sheep, Maude, who passed away.  It is absolutely beautiful!  Great job Kimmy!

We went for a walk on the rail trail today.  All these sweet kiddos went with us.


Eli, Adam, Peyton, Jacob, and Isaac.  Wonderful grandkids.  I am blessed!


The first thing we did at fun night at the kids school was the cake walk.

Jack was pretty happy because he won a cake!  Yay!  So did Amy's daughter.  At the end, Melissa, Bill, all the kids and I did the cake walk because there were lots of cakes left and hardly anyone was doing it.  Hailey won cupcakes and gave them to her Papa.  He was pretty happy.

The kids get to spend their points earned at the store.  So much fun! 

Washed 2 batches of clothes and hung them outside to dry.  Sat on the deck reading the Bible and drinking my morning coffee.  Vikki called so I met her, Kimmy and the kids at the Rail Trail to go for a walk.  We walked almost 2 miles, the kids were getting tired and thirsty.  Came back to our house.  We prayed over our sweetie Adam.  Nice to have family that prays together.  The kids had snacks.  Jared called the dr. and they got Adam in for a check up right away.  Bill and I had to leave for Hailey, Max, and Jack's school for the fun night.  We ate hot dogs and had homemade donuts.  Then we watched the kids have fun playing all the games.  Max was really good at hitting the target and sending bob into the bucket.  I was fun watching them pick out stuff to buy at the end.  We came home and watched more episodes of our series.

Evan right before he smeared hydracortizone cream on the bricks of the deck. Ha Ha...we only left him for a minute too.

Melissa and I doing a selfie!  Love this girl!

Evan learned how to pump on the swing.  He can go pretty high all by himself now.

Evan going high!

Peyton and Isaac having fun on the trampoline!

Fun with the lego train on my newly cleaned carpet!


Peyton and Isaac trying out the bed in the camper.


Went to our Tuesday breakfast.  Wes, Gayla, Kenny, Charlie, Phyllis, Andy, Bill and I were the only ones there.  We had a nice devotion and prayer and fun visiting.  I stopped at Melissa's afterward and visited with her and Evan.  We sat out on her swing in the sun for a while and watched Evan pump on the swings and go high.  He was so happy.  Melissa had me try some hydracortizone cream on my poison ivy.  We left it on the swing while we went in to look at the pictures Vikki put on her blog of their old school, etc. and came back out and Evan had smeared the hydracortizone cream all over the bricks on the deck, got it on his shoe and tracked it on the grass.  Amazing what a little one can do in a couple of minutes.  I left to go to the post office to mail some dangles for Brenda, Sara Jo, and Sara Ann and rsvp's for Carrie's Wedding and Andrea's wedding.  Came home and spent some time on the deck listening to worship music.  Then I sprayed the poison ivy in the woods with roundup.  I covered all my skin so I wouldn't get anymore.  Vikki, Peyton and Isaac came when I was just finishing.  Bill wanted to set up the motorcycle camper and check it out so we did that.  Peyton and Isaac were excited to go in it and get on the bed.  Vikki left to go meet Misty and we got to watch Peyton and Isaac.  They jumped on the trampoline and then we went in to eat dinner.  Afterwards they played with the Fisher Price farm.  They picked that up because they wanted to play with the lego train set.  Then we went outside and set up the screen room of the camper.  We had to watch a video online to figure it out.  Didn't take long after that.  Watched some episodes of "When Calls the Heart" on Netflix.

Went to church.  Vikki and Rody picked up Matthew so he could go today.  Afterwards Matt, Vikki, Bill and I went to Buffalo Wild Wings which is Matt's favorite place.  We picked up a gift card and have been wanting to take Matt out so it worked out today.  It was windy and cool outside.  We had a 15 minute wait. Vikki noticed John Galsterer and family and the Cronin's from church in the corner so we went and visited with them for a few minutes.  The kids were so cute and excited to see me.  Even little Declan, 2 yrs., was waving and saying It's Miss Penny over and over.  It made my day.
We had a nice visit with Matt and really good food.  We saw Lisa Starke before we left so went to her table and talked to her and Luke.  It was nice seeing her.  Vikki, Bill and I walked through Sam's club and I got a few things.  We got some steps in too.  We came home and I got a call later from Kenzie asking if I was going to be home.  She had bought a surprise for me and wanted to bring it to me.  It was her new favorite thing she said.  She came after work and brought me yogurt covered pretzels.  They were yummy and it sure was sweet of her.  She was excited because she could use her debit card now.  So glad they have this for kids so they can get used to managing money.  We had a nice visit and she was pretty funny trying to get Mocha to play.  Mocha actually did for a few minutes.  Then Kenzie put a sock over Mocha's eyes and Mocha just left it there for a long time.  Finally she tipped her head and it fell off.  Such a silly dog and a silly girl too.  So much fun.  Dad and I realized it was the last day to get our $1.80 off gas, so we loaded cans and headed to get gas at Kroger's.  Afterward, we came home and I hooked up the computer to the TV and we watched the KLove fan awards.  They had a lot of good artists on it and some good worship music.


We had so much fun with Matt today at his favorite restaurant, BWW!!!

Matt, Bill and Vikki

Kenzie came over after work.  Below is the surprise she brought me.  Yummy!  She got Mocha to play with her than put this blue sock on Mocha and Mocha just sat there.  Too funny!
