2/25/18...Went to church, Had pancakes and sausage at church afterward, Checked on Mocha, went to Camper show and then for a hot fudge brownie at Tony's in Birch Run,

Pastor put a huge back pack on!  His message was on carrying our burden of sin!  Pastor Jeff kept putting big rocks in the back pack when Pastor Ken asked him to.  His sin was really weighing him down

What a heavy load, but what joy when he dropped his burden, confessed and gave it to Jesus.  What a great message

Kimmy and Jared had another lamb born

We really liked this 5th wheel

Bill and I shared a hot fudge brownie at Tony's after going to the camper show

 We went to church and pastor gave an amazing message.  Mocha was doing a little better today.  She ate green beens, mashed bananas and then wen we came home from church she ate some soft dog food.  We went back down to the camper show.  We really liked the camper I put pics on of.  We sure enjoyed our big hot fudge brownie dessert at Tony's.  We stopped at Rody's mom's on our way home to take Peyton and Isaac their balloons from the camper show.  Isaac forgot his the other night and today we picked one up for Peyton.  We went in and had a nice time visiting,  and then prayed for Rody's Aunt Ann who just got out of the hospital.  Came home and watched Hallmark Movies and then When Calls the heart

2/24/18...Went to Aldi's, Went to Katelyn and Rocco's Baby open house for the twins, Went to Vikki's, Kimmy, Jared and the boys came over, Watched Hallmark Mysteries

Mocha got a nice haircut from Kimmy

Peyton with her doll's hair fixed really cute!  She told Vikki, "This can be her church hair"

Went to Aldi's and picked up a pizza, some bread and lunchmeat.  Met Gayla, Elaine and Lupe at the Fire Station.  They do things different now we heard.  They have open houses where you congratulate the mommy and daddy to be.  It's like a graduation open house where you come anytime between certain hours and the food is out all the time.  Katelyn opened our gifts right away as we were the only 4 there..  I felt bad for her because she has a cold on top of being pregnant with twins.  She stayed behind the table and didn't get near anyone.  I prayed for her before we sat down, but did keep my distance.  We ate after that.  The food was great and so were the decorations.  I still  like the old way showers were done.  We were there for an hour and no one came until we were leaving.  Two ladies came then.   After the shower, I went to Vikki's and got the DVD, Wonder, so I could send it with Kimmy to watch.  I got home and put pizzas in before they got there. They were in town getting the boys pictures taken.  They also were bringing a yarn bowl I ordered for a gift for our pastor's wife.   Kimmy, Bill and I had subs an the rest ate pizza.  We had a nice time and the boys were so sweet and fun.  Kimmy groomed Mocha for me.  Mocha was matted really bad and it was a huge job.  She was weird, whiny and nippy at times.  She sure looked great when she was done.  Kimmy showed me the boys pictures on line and they turned out so nice.  What handsome grandsons!  After they left, Mocha started acting weird.  She laid in her cage, but wouldn't put her head down.  If I got within an inch of her mouth she would yelp.  I had gotten a half aspirin down her with peanut butter but when I found out she could have another half from Melissa, she would have nothing to do with it.  Finally I had Melissa pray too and I hung up.  I tried to give it to her and she kind of nipped and it stuck to her tongue so she swallowed it.  Answered prayer!  I talked to Kimmy and she was reassuring.  I had found a rotted tooth Mocha lost in the hallway and she thought that's probably her problem.  

Finally after I talked to her, Mocha laid in the chair by me and put her head down.

Peyton with her American Girl Doll. It was Hailey's.   Hailey and Melissa were so sweet to give it to Peyton.  The doll's leg was off so I sent it to the American Girl Hospital to be fixed.  We were all so happy to see Peyton and how much she loves her doll she named Olivia

Peyton made a hospital bed for her!  The American girl doll came back with a hospital gown, hospital bracelet, Certificate of Health, and some socks

Peyton brought her lots of visitors

Vikki got a picture today of her puppy.  Isn't she cute and such a cute color.  Love her white paws too!

I went through my summer stuff to get things ready to be packed for our Florida Trip.  At 1:30 I met Melissa at the kids school to watch Hailey in the Spelling Bee.  She did good, but I could tell she was nervous.  So was Ally.  Felt bad when they spelled a word wrong.  So happy they made it in the Spelling Bee though.  I was happy that I got to see Max and see him with his braces in person too.  He's so cute.   We told Hailey goodbye, got our hug and went to Tim Horton's for a muffin and capacinno. (Melissa had a Mocha and a donut)  We spent time there until it was time for Melissa to take me back to my car and her to pick the kids up.  I went to Vikki's to take her the DVD "Wonder".  Left and came home, so Bill and I could get ready to go to the Camper Show in Birch Run.  I saw a box on the table and was happy that Peyton's American Girl Doll came.  On our way to the Camper Show, we stopped at Vikki's and took Peyton her doll.  She was excited to open it.  She loved her and started playing with her right away.  She made a bed up and brought all of her other dolls out.  We left and then I called Vikki to see if Isaac could come to the camper show with us since Peyton got the doll.  He was so excited to go with us.  We stopped at Old Town Drive in and Bill and I got coney dogs, Isaac wanted a hot dog with catsup and we had fries and their famous root beer.  YUM!  We were a little disappointed with the camper show because there weren't many 5th wheels, but finally we did see one we really liked.  Isaac loved going in the campers and always points out the details to me.  He is sure a sweetie.  We dropped Isaac off.  He wanted to give his mommy his left over cotton candy.  We went home and watched a movie.

2/22/18...Max got his braces on and so did Molly Jo, I Walked at Sportszone, Got twin baby gifts from Gayla and I wrapped and ready for Sat., Went to Rustic Inn

My handsome, sweet grandson, Max, got his braces on this morning.  This picture makes him look so much older.  

When I was at Kimmy's the other day, a lamb was laying on its moms back.  Kimmy and I didn't have our phones, so we couldn't take a picture.  Kimmy sent me this today and I was so happy to get it.  Love this picture so much

Got the present wrapped for the twins who will be born soon.  Saturday is the Open House for babies at the fire station.  

Joanna, Bob, Ronny, Gayla, Wes, Marsha, and Jim

Bill, Charlie, Matt, Don, Bob, Joyce, Gordon, Sue, Elaine and Cheryl at the Rustic Inn

Max got his braces on today.  It went great!  He looks so handsome!  We found out on Facebook that our great niece Molly got her bottom braces on today too.  I walked three fast miles at SportsZone.  I went in the afternoon and it was great as there weren't many there at that time.  I picked up a big gift bag for the gift for twins that will arrive soon.  Gayla and I went in together.  We got two red clamp on chairs, two books and two toys.  I remember the girls loved their clamp on chairs for camping, etc.  Came home and got the gift ready.  The bag was big enough for everything so that was good.  Cleaned and vacuumed the car out.  Bill showed someone our fireplace insert we took out and he bought it for $80.  Glad to have that out of the garage.  Bill told him he would need to get insulation for around the edges to keep cold air out when not in use.  

We picked up Charlie and Sue and took them to the Rustic in with us.  Faith Riders were meeting there for dinner.  There were 19 of us there.  I had salmon and a baked potato and Bill had ground steak.  We had a great time together!  Came home and watched Olympic skating.
