I've been drawing pictures for Riley to color. I swear, I have lopsided vision. It doesn't matter if I use a ruler or not, the line still comes out crooked. Lol. This is my drawing of a rocket.
Nathan will be going in to the 9th grade this September. Last week he started Freshmen Spring Football practice. Yep, my son will be playing football. I pray that he does some growing this summer. No matter what though, I think I'll be a bit nervous each game. There are some big freshmen in football. Yikes! I pray that he doesn't get too beat up.
Last week we had such fresh and springkly weather. We had a few errands to run then we stopped by the library. Riley has taken over in returning our library books. He sure likes that machine.
Last Tuesday was the last day to have cloudy, cool, sprinkle weather for a while. We were set to have several days of pure sun and weather into the 80's. But for this last day of comfortable weather -I made sure to take it all in and savor it.
Weather in the 80's may not sound even close to hot but believe me it is when one doesn't have a/c in their home. Hardly any homes here have a/c because in reality we don't need it but only for several warm to hot days here and there during the summer months. Still, it doesn't change the fact that it gets hot inside the house in 80 degree weather. Thankfully, one can definitely feel the cool breeze beginning to come in around 8:00 pm ... making the nights comfortable.
After the library Riley and I had Mod Pizza for lunch. As soon as I got out of my truck I felt sprinkles on my face. It felt cold and the cool wind was blowing. Ohmygosh! It was awesome!
Always making faces. I'm pretty sure he takes after my side of the family. His silliness reminds me so much of my sister Claudia. She's a goof.
This cat. The older she gets the more trouble she gets herself into. Growing up she never jumped on the counters but now whenever she smells and sees food we'll find her on there. She is not allowed to get on the counters so as soon as she hears us or sees us coming she takes off.
Libby was downstairs. I had cooked chicken cooling off on the counter but it was time to pick up Sydna from college. I didn't want to put it away but I was worried that Libby might eat a piece so I had to put her inside Riley's playroom and close the door.
Here she is waiting for Riley to let her out once we got back. Gosh! Pets are cool but they can sure be an inconvenience sometimes.
Thankfully he doesn't suffer from separation anxiety when we go places like church or the park but when it's just the two of us at home he is always sitting right next to me or within arms reach. Even when we sit down to eat and he finishes his food first he'll go to the living room but keeps coming back and gives me hugs the entire time I'm eating ... telling me how much he loves me.
In this picture I'm sitting next to him reading and all of a sudden he stretches his arm to grab hold of my pant leg. I think it's sweet.
He he! and here's Libby looking all annoyed because Riley was getting closer to her. She really tries hard to avoid him because he stresses her out. You know little kids are loud and constantly moving ... well, she doesn't like any of that. She's old but then again she's always been a skittish cat. The ears and the look on her face, probably thinking, oh great! it's him again. Lol.
Nathan had his last band concert of the year and forever. He chose not to continue to play the trumpet in high school. He's more interested in football and sometimes band would have gotten in the way of practice and probably some concerts. He had fun those two years he was in band but I knew he wasn't going to be in it for the long run because he's just not musically inspired. He's really into sports.

Whenever the opportunity presents itself during the day I either choose to read, crochet or blog. After my life changing experience I quickly discovered that keeping myself busy aside from mothering my three kids and chores is that it is essential that I engulf myself in books that will increase my faith. Having these things {hobbies if you will} to keep my mind busy has made me a happier person.
Seriously. Before I committed myself to these hobbies I would get bored at home and often complain about senseless things. Not anymore. Like that one verse says: Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: the old has gone, the new is here! THAT is me! My life and my marriage is becoming fuller by the day. No one to praise and thank but Christ.
I think your rocket looks really good.
