Lazy Saturday

I had so much fun with this precious little guy again today. 8.5 months old. Kayla came out at about 1:00 and left at about 7:00. Drew has 6 teeth now! Four top teeth have popped out in just the past week and a half. Poor thing, no wonder he hasn't felt good. He learned how to really drink out of his sippie cup today. His momma gave him some sweet tea! He loved it; and banana pudding.

Summer Pros

Things I love about summer . . . . .

the warmth from the sunshine * breezy summer nights looking at the stars * ice cream * flip flops and pedicures * listening to the frogs, crickets, and katydids on warm summer nights * grilling * fresh cut grass * flowers * a hay field * summer rain showers * ice cold lemonade * waking up to the sound of birds chirping * fresh brewed sweet iced tea * sunglasses * watermelon * lightening bugs. . . .

And that's all for now . . . . . .

Summer Cons

Things I hate about summer . . . .

• Red wasps. . . or all wasps!
• Mosquitoes
• Flies
• Dead grass
• Sweating
• Sunburns
• Dust
• Snakes
• And it coming to an end!

That's all for now.

My Poppa

Yesterday, June 6, was my daddy's birthday. He is 69 years old. I made him some banana pudding and gave his two Wal-Mart gift cards, one for his birthday and the other for Father's day, which is next weekend. He wants a new gas grill and he can use that money to go towards it.
Wow, where has time gone. 69 years old just doesn't seem possible. You know how your parents get to a certain age and that age just sticks in your mind? I always see them in their early 40's. I don't know why that age sticks with me, but Mom is 43 and Dad is 45. I think my father has always been a very good looking man. He is always very well groomed. I remember him talking when I was younger that no matter how poor a person was, a bar of soap and water was very easy to come by and you should always keep yourself clean.

It is just very difficult for me to see and realize that my parents are getting "old" and can't do what they used to be able to do. I so wish I had more time to spend with them and I wish they felt good enough to do some other things. I guess I need to make that more of a priority. I call frequently but don't go visit near often enough. I will do better, starting today!

Tidbits

It's Wednesday and I love getting these pictures from Kayla. Chase was on his way to Bobbi's with Drew. . . they were walking to Bobbi's. Chase has started a different shift at FedEx and doesn't got to work until 1 pm now. He and Drew will get to spend the mornings together. They occasionally text random pictures to me and I LOVE it!
Kristin called me this afternoon. She only has one more day of school this year. She has her room packed up and is ready for it to be over.
