Today started out with dad getting me a few times for April Fools. I got Bruce once, then Melissa about 3 times. I also got Kenzie really good. Melissa got me really good when I got home from All Stars at church.
She told me Hailey had wanted to call me, but now she had fallen asleep. She had wanted to tell me that Jack kept had learned to say Nana and kept saying it all day.
I was so happy til she told me April Fools. I watched Max and Jack this morning while Melissa went to therapy. Hailey went to school. I also watched Abby Doll.
They were all good as could be. I left there and had to go to take a dish to pass for a funeral. I stopped and asked grandpa if he wanted to ride with me and he was happy to. He wanted to take his car and give it exercise. We had a nice ride and then met dad for lunch. It was yummy and the company was great. Grandpa showed me a picture of him when he was in his 20's and he sure was handsome. I have been keeping ahead of Bill on skiing on the Wii, but while I was at church tonight, he must have been on it steady because I am no longer in 1st place. Tomorrow will be a busy day for me. Ha Ha. Kenzie is spending the night. She went to youth group tonight. We in All Stars went to the nursing home and played bingo with the residents. They were so sweet. They all wanted the kids to win. They had 8 packs of Hershey kit kats for each child. They had smaller candy bars for adults. Everyone had fun and it was nice how everyone was looking out for everyone else. I hardly ever win at bingo, but wouldn't ya know it when I didn't want to be the one to bingo, I was the first to.

Today was fun as Kimmy came over with the boys. I was so excited to see them. I missed them and was going to go to their house to see them, but Kimmy wanted to come to my house so she could go do some shopping. First we picked up grandpa and went to a couple of places looking for honeyrock melons. We didn't find any, but did pick up some seeds for our gardens. We spent some time with grandpa at his house.
The boys liked the toys. Papa surprised us and came over. He had the boys laughing hard. We all got a good laugh at grandpa. He wanted to watch American Idol and Dancing with the Stars, but they came on at the same time. He told us he fixed the problem though. He carried his tv from his bedroom out to the living room and had it next to the big tv. He was going to watch both shows together. Too funny!!!
We left and had lunch at my house. Then Kimmy groomed Mocha while I played with the boys in the basement. We fixed water pipes and put out fires. Jump ropes were our hoses. Such fun those boys are and such good imaginations. They all stayed for dinner. Vikki came to get Kenzie after work, so they stayed too. We had meatloaf, baked potatoes, corn, peas, fruit, and brownies. It was another nice family dinner.
Dad and I had to leave at 6:30 to go to a little boys showing at the funeral home. It was so sad. I could hardly stand being there. I'm glad he is in heaven and don't need to suffer any more. He was only 6. Dad is downstairs right now trying to knock me out of 1st place in skiing. I'll be busy tomorrow trying to knock him out of first place if he makes it. I posted some pictures of Adam when he spent the night at our house. He was such a good boy. He is sure fun to have around. What a sweet personality. My pictures actually go from the bottom up...where Adam has his suitcase and then up to be in the right order. I boo booed.

Picture board the girls did for my birthday party. Great job!!!

He loved playing with papa too. He kept trying to crawl up by papa and then get away.

Papa loves playing with his grandkids and can really get them laughing.

Today I took Grandpa shopping to three stores. He's always fun to be around.
I got home and put my groceries away and then I tried to call Bill. As I was waiting to leave him a message, my home phone rang and it was him calling me. I went with him to visit a family whose dad had just passed away and Bill is doing the memorial service. I volunteer where Bill works so I can go with him to some of his visitations. They were such a sweet family. I have met the nicest people when I go along. We went out for lunch and had a very nice time. I love spending time together. I am puting on some pictures I took of my sweet grandchildren that I didn't get posted right away. I forgot to mention, the other day I called grandpa and instead of going to his speaker phone, he answered the one on the wall. I asked him if he had his hearing aids in because he didn't seem to be understanding what I was saying, and he answered, "No, I don't have a hangover." I had to laugh so hard.
