Love this picture of Kenzie!

Eli had fun going down the pole at the park.  He was so proud of himself.   Very cute!


Isaac went pretty high all by himself.

Peyton went up but wouldn't go down the slide and was crying as she tried to come back down.  Vikki went up to rescue her and they both went down the slide together.





Three cuties!

Peyton loved running down the big hill!

The three cousins on a walk!


Popsicle time!  Max, Jacob and Adam on Nana's Swing!

It was so cute.  Eli wanted to be in the picture and Jack wanted to show that his teeth are missing in front.

Popsicle time for these two too!


Hailey, Isaac and Peyton on the comfy swing.  Hailey didn't want a popsicle.

Jack, Max and Evan.  They were sitting on the steps watching Max play a game.


Papa giving Peyton and Isaac a ride on the scooter together.

Jacob, Adam and Eli on the trampoline. Oops, a big hole got in it today.  Time to get another one as this one is getting rotten.

Jacob did great on the scooter.  So did Adam but I didn't get a picture.


I walked 2 miles at Sports Zone.  Kimmy was coming so I came home and made chicken salad for us to have for lunch.  Vikki came shortly after Kimmy.  We sat outside for a long time and watched the kids in the trampoline.  We need to replace the netting around it as it is getting big holes now. We came in an had lunch than got ready to go to the park to walk.  My sister Brenda called just as we were getting ready so I talked to her for a while while the girls and kids waited outside.  We went to the park around the corner from us and the kids played on the playground while we ate some asparagus I had baked. We walked around the pond, and then we drove to the other end and went on the hiking trail.  We had a nice time and a nice walk.  It was almost 2 miles.  It started sprinkling but only lightly.  We left because Melissa was dropping Hailey, Max and Jack off while she took Evan to the dr.  He had to get 4 shots.  Came home and spent more time outside.  Bill took Adam and Jacob to Tim Hortons for doughnuts.  They had two each.  They still ate pizza when they got home.  Adam, Jacob and Hailey all rode the scooter by themselves today.  They did great.  After the girls left, Bill grilled salmon the neighbor behind us gave us.  It was the best I have ever had!  Yum!  We watched the news and then I went to Aldi's to get stuff to make spinach salad for Gabe's graduation party tomorrow.  I also went to Applebee's to get their dressing for it.  Watered plants and garden and then we watched a movie.

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!

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.
