Peyton and Isaac eating their snack.  Showing us what's in their mouth too!

Punishment is hugging.  They didn't want to at first but were so cute once they did!  The joy of twins.

My sweet Russell boys!

Eli was pretty good at this!

Isaac was amazing for his little age!

Walked two miles and rode the bike a mile at Sportszone.  Came home and washed sheets and hung them out.  Put clean sheets on the beds in the 5th wheel.  Vikki called and said she was going to the splash pool around 12:30 so I said I would meet them there.  Kimmy called to see if I wanted her to pick me up as she was going too, but I wasn't by my phone so when I called to see what she wanted, it was too late.  Went back to Vikki's and hung out till around 5.  Rody made me the best cup of coffee ever!  So good.  I came home and we decided to go for a ride and go out to eat.  We went to check out the how the new Outdoor Adventures Campground is coming.  They have a lot of trees cleared out and nice spots with septic hook up (looked like maybe they will all be).  Not much else done yet.  Dad said this is supposed to be the biggest and best one...better than Davidson.  My sister, Brenda, called me to tell me my sister Jody had a TSI (mini stroke) on Monday.  Her whole left side is affected and she has to be off work for 12 weeks and have therapy.  She doesn't like anyone fussing over her so doesn't really want to talk to anyone.  I talked to her last Friday and she seemed pretty stressed.  Praying for her and got Bill and my girls praying for her.  When we got home, we put clean sheets on our bed.  They smell so good after being hung in the fresh air.  We watched the news and went to bed.

Max getting a ride on the scooter.

Love Max's smile!!!

Beautiful Hailey!

This was a little blurry, but Melissa and I both loved it.

Evan and Hailey!

Hailey's turn to ride the scooter.  She is becoming a pro.

Four cute kids and their dog!

Bill is happy to have his tractor fixed.  The lawn looks great again!  He had cut some with a push lawn mower with no power but his.

This will probably be the last bouquet of peonies till next year.  

My poison ivy was much better today.  Didn't itch while I slept last night and only had to take 1 benedryl tablet 3 times today.  Thank You Jesus!  We went to breakfast.  There were 10 of us there.   Stopped at Melissa's afterward to take some stuff for her garage sale.  Stopped at Salvation army on the way home as I am trying to find small stuffed animals for the roadkill bike game where they have to scoop them up with nets while riding on a motorcycle.  Then went to the Dollar Store to get stuff for the prize bags for the kids games.  Got all the games organized when I got home.  Packed some more stuff in the motorcycle camper and started cleaning the 5th wheel.  Put the air on and played my worship music while I worked.   Washing the sheets for the beds so they are nice and fresh.  Melissa, Bruce and the kids came over.  The kids jumped in the trampoline and swung on the swings, then went and rode the scooter and drove cars.  They didn't stay very long as they have to get ready for their garage sale.  Bill and I played 3-13 and he beat me!  Not by too much though.

Silly girl took papa's hat

Peyton and Isaac hugging!

Look who has papa's hat now!

Isaac's getting so big!

Vikki took this picture of Peyton and I had her send it to me because it was so cute!

Peyton is getting so big too!

Adorable twins!

Cutie Peyton!

Love looking at the beautiful flowers around the shed this time of year!

Last night I took two benedryl tablets and then took a hot oatmeal bath to help my poison ivy because it was itching so badly.  The bath made it itch all the more.  When I got out, the itching went away and I went to bed and didn't get up until 830 a.m.  No itching during the night.  Poor little Eli had to go to the dr. today for his because it's spreading, there's swelling and he has a fever.  The dr. started him on steroids.  I started getting games organized for Saturday's Faith Rider Picnic and also did some cleaning in the camper.  We packed sleeping bags, a fan, and a lantern from the camper into the small motorcycle camper we will be using.  Than Bill and I took the small camper down.  I did laundry and hung it outside and did some hoeing around the house.  Called Sue and Vikki Eagle to wish them both happy birthday.  After we ate Walleye for dinner, we went to Vikki's so Bill could try to fix her treadmill.  He couldn't.  Boo Hoo.  We looked at her garden and it is doing great and looks so nice.  Had fun with the kids.  Kenzie came home before we left so we got to see her too.  Bill and I rearranged some stuff in our room.  Watched the news and went night night.

Kenzie had to do this picture with the pen in her mouth.  No wonder she wrote this is hard! Ha Ha

So cool what she does on the pages of her journal!

                                           

Love this and so does Mocha!

Went to church this morning.  Drove separate as I am meeting with Joan and other volunteers for our VBS training.  Kenzie wanted me to go to Michaels with her afterwards so she came home and waited with Papa.  The VBS meeting went well an was only an hour.  After I got home, Kenzie drove us to Michaels, than Teppanyakki's Grill, than Walmart, than Joann's and finally to Barnes and Nobles.  We finally found this wrecking journal she wanted to buy.  She also bought herself some art supplies.  Nice that she is a working girl now. She asked me to get her an envelope so she could tithe at church too.   One of the best things she will ever do!  We had a great lunch at Teppanyaki's.  She had her sushi so she was happy.  I had a stir fry, egg rolls, sweet and sour chicken and other things.  We both had ice cream.  We had fun talking and reminiscing.  When we were done going to stores, we came home and she worked on her book.  She had so much fun and I loved watching her do it.

Adam and his friend!

We headed to Adam's game this morning.  It was cool and windy so I put a couple of blankets in the car besides dressing warm.  Jared's parents were there so it was nice seeing them.  Lela had two layers on but still was cool so I gave her one of the blankets and I used the other.  I held Eli for a while and he kept me warm and then Lela held Jacob for a while so I'm sure he gave off heat too.  One nice thing about loving grandchildren who like to sit on our laps.  Adam played very well and almost scored once.  After the game we headed home and had just a short time before we had to leave for Gabe Nelson's Graduation Party.  Bill cut some of our grass with the hand mower because our tractor won't start.  We got to the graduation party,  and I went in the house and mixed dressing on the salad I brought.  Talked to Emily about her recent adventures to Europe.  She leaves tomorrow for Colorado to do her grad. school for 2 years.  Talked to Gabe and congratulated him.  Then we ate yummy nachos, fruit, salad etc.  It was fun seeing all of my Sunday School kids there and having them run up to me excitedly calling my name.  I am so blessed by these sweeties.  We left and got home  to get ready for our motorcycle ride to get ice cream.  There were 4 bikes and Gayla and Joel came in the van.  When we got to the Merrill Dairy, Two other couples met us.  They were camping at the campground in Breckenridge and came to have ice cream.  After we left there, Bill and I went to Wes and Gayla's to plan our trip and we also learned a new game....Rummikub.  We had lots of fun playing it.  Joel kept reminding us that it was only a game. Ha Ha.
