4/1/18...Happy Easter! Jesus is risen! He is Alive. Great service and awesome worship at church today. It was packed. Melissa and her family didn't come because they have the flu

Kenzie climbed up here right away.  I knew she would!

We went to church and the worship was awesome and the message was great.  Church was packed and it was so nice to see Marty and Sophie there and Kyle and Ellen.  I was worshipping in the morning before we went and the song Your name is Victory was playing.  I thought how nice it would be if they would play that at our church.  Well that was one of the songs they played.  I was so happy. Bill helped baptize people today. They used a trough because we had both worship teams playing this morning and our build in tank had lots of cords running over it.  Melissa and her family couldn't be there because all but Hailey and Evan had the flu.  After church, Roy and Marie came over to see the camper.  We all went to Olive Garden for dinner than.  We had to cancel our Easter Celebration Dinner and Egg Hunt until everyone is healthy.  We had a nice dinner and great time visiting.  They brought us home afterwards.  After they left, Kenzie and Travis came to visit.  They looked at the camper and really liked it.  We came in the house and Bill stayed in the camper looking some stuff up.  They wanted to play 3-13, so we went back out to the camper and the four of us played.  I was the winner.  We had lots of fun.   They left and Bill and I got out things together and spent the night in the camper. He turned the furnace on so we were toasty.  We slept good except Bill started coughing some.  

3/31/18...Melissa sounded better this morning, but now Bruce, Jack and Max have the fever and are going to med Express, Went to see God's Not Dead, A Light in Darkness. with Wes, Gayla and Joel, Went to Pizza Hut afterward,

We had fun at Pizza Hut with Gayla, Wes and Joel after the movie

Wes and Gayla got us this beautiful cross from Costa Rica when they went on their cruise.  It will be going in our new camper.

 

Loved this artwork of Adam's.  Such a great job for just beginning art. I showed it to Kenzie because I remember her doing this.  She messaged me one she had done when she was around 13.  

Kenzie's

We slept in until 8.  Got up and had our oatmeal with raisins and nuts and then Bill left to go get a cord for our camper and I got ready.  I talked to Melissa and She sounded so much better, but now Bruce, Jack and Max have a fever.  YUK! They all went to Med Express.  All got Tamaflu.  Jack had an ear infection so they put him on an antibiotic.  He also is having asthma problems so they gave him a steroid.  please continue to pray for all of them.  I called to see when he was going to be getting home because Wes and Gayla were coming over and he told me he was sitting by the fireplace out in the camper.  I went out and we sat out there for a while.  Wes and Gayla came so we went to the show with them.  We saw God's Not Dead, A Light in Darkness.  It was really good, but I like the first two better.
Love that there are three Christian movies playing at the theatre right now.  Praising God.
We went to Pizza Hut afterward for pizza and had a great time visiting.  We took naps and watched the Michigan game.  Didn't get much done.  Cold, rainy and very windy outside, so we didn't do anything in the camper yet.  Can't wait to start though.

3/30/18...Kimmy and the boys came over, Vikki, Peyton and puppy Lucy came over. Bruce took Melissa to Med Express and then ER. No pneumonia, but she does have Influenza B. The grandkids decorated Easter Eggs, We picked up our new Sabre Camper.

The guy at the Camper place took this picture for their facebook page

Pretty relaxing

Adam, Jack, Evan, Peyton, Eli, Max and Jacob decorating Easter Eggs

So happy these kiddos decorated our Easter Eggs and did such a beautiful job.

Silly Jacob!  I didn't realize he gave Peyton bunny ears.  He takes after his Papa!

I couldn't wait to call Melissa and find out how she was doing.  She had to wait to see how she was after she was up for a while.  Then when she called later, she needed to go into Med Express.  They sent her to ER.  Vikki picked up Max, Jack and Evan and brought them to our house.   All the kids that were here colored Easter Eggs.  At three, Kimmy watched all the kids and Vikki, Bill and I went to pick up our new beautiful camper.  It took a while for the guy to show us everything on it.  It is amazing.  Bruce kept us updated on Melissa.  They ended up diagnosing Melissa with Influenza B.  Sent her home and said she would have to wait it out.  Poor Melissa sure isn't feeling good.  Adam sure was excited about seeing the camper.  He is so cute and sweet.  All the kids were excited, but Adam sure shows it.  I ordered pizza and Kimmy, and Vikki went with me to pick it up.  We all ate and then Vikki, Kimmy, me and Bill went out and had some quiet time in the camper.  Vikki took Melissa's boys home with her to spend the night so Melissa could rest.  We were going to spend the night in the camper, but Bill needs to get a cord so couldn't.  Kimmy and the boys saw lots of deer on their way home.  Sure am glad none ran out in front of her.  Melissa called and still sounds terrible.  Praying Hard and believing God.   

3/29/17..Read on my book, Praying for Melissa as she called for prayer and isn't sounding good

Got groceries for Easter.  Was happy to get a 23 lb. Butterball turkey for $11.  Also got a ham.  Sure hope we all feel better so we can get together.  Bill and I went to Church for a very touching service.  The message was so moving and it was just quiet worship with meditating on the words.  So thankful for all Jesus went through to pay the price for us.  Sure do love HIM!  In the evening, Melissa called asking for prayer.  She sounds awful.  Bill and I told her she needs to go to Med Express or ER.  We didn't convince her.  Sure am praying hard for my sweet Missy.  God is faithful!

3/28/18 Isaac came and spent the day with us. Took him to McDonald's and Peyton and Kaitlyn surprised him by coming there to play.

Isaac came in the morning to spend the day with us.  Peyton was having a friend spend the day with her.  He loved playing marbles and really has a good imagination with them.  We went to McDonalds and he was so happy when Peyton, Katelyn and Vikki came there to play.  Vikki got them all hot fudge sundaes.  

3/27/18 Travis dropped Kenzie off and we spent the afternoon together. Went to the bank and then went to Chen's for dinner.

Kenzie and I spent the afternoon together.  I took her to the bank and  prayed before we went.  They ended up getting all of her medical bills from her accident cancelled.  She was so happy she was crying!

Peyton (her American Girl Doll, Olivia) and Isaac

Cute picture of Vikki and her puppy

Lucy looks so cute with her bow

I walked 2 miles at SportsZone in the morning.  Shampooed Family Room carpet.  I was happy when Vikki and the kids came over for a visit.  Lucy came too and is such a cute and sweet puppy.  She is doing much better with her leg now.  The kids helped papa pick pup sticks and played outside most of the time.  Vikki tried my shampooer out upstairs in the hall.  We sat outside for a while.  It was 53 degrees and sunny.  So nice outside.  Bill got the snowblower off from his tractor.  He had an Elder's Meeting in the evening.
