Kenzie's new puppy, Jasper

Adam was up early and I woke up Jacob and Eli.   I was busy packing this morning.  The boys took care of their sheep and then we headed to Nana and Papa's.  We stopped at the post office on the way to ship a fleece that sold.  We got to Nana's around 10:30.  Kenzie and Travis came over and Vikki and the kids came too.  Kenzie and Travis brought their new blood hound, Jasper.  He's so cute!!  We brought Thor and he is going home with Kenzie for a couple weeks.  This afternoon we went to Melissa's house because it's Jack's birthday.  Nana brought donuts and muffins.  We sang to the birthday boy and ate.   I gave Jack a haircut and then Vikki, Kenzie and I gave Travis a haircut.  We went to the Saginaw library to look for books for the boys because our library is still limited due to the flood.  The boys really wanted new Garfield books but they didn't have any.  We got some Tom and Jerry dvd's.  Later we went to Barnes and Noble and Adam picked out a couple big Garfield books.  This evening Eli went to a birthday party for Jack at Kokomo's.  He had such a great time visiting, riding go carts, bumper boats, and eating pizza and cake.  While he was at the party we went to Vikki's house.  Mom picked up pizza's and breadsticks for dinner.  The kids had a ton of fun jumping on the trampoline.  We got home around 8:30.  Jared and taken down the canoe and put the kayak on top of the van.  He said he was very careful with his back and used a ladder.  We aren't going to be able to take the canoe this year.   The van has a hard time getting up to speed with it sitting the way it was.  I emptied the water tanks and let them refill with fresh water.  We filled the hay for the 4H lambs and their grain feeder.  I bedded the stalls with lots of straw.  I filled the cat food bin.  Jared picked me up a new bike seat and put it on.  My old seat was falling apart.  We tried a new seat on Eli's bike but he didn't like it so we put the old one back on.  Jared went to bed around 10:30.  The boys stayed up late helping me load the van.  We are all so excited about our trip to Copper Harbor!!!
