Wishing

 Have you ever found yourself wishing that you could do whatever you wanted instead of having to do what is expected of you? 
The weekend was much to short, but enjoyable. We celebrated Jake's 13th birthday on Saturday late afternoon and evening. Of course, Ethan had to ride before he could go home. Jake went and got Cleo and led him around the yard. He thought he was big stuff. He had to bring his boots and jeans. He always want to ride.
We had beefburgers, pasta salad, chips and homemade salsa, broccoli salad,veggie tray, mac and cheese, triple berry cobbler made in the dutch oven.

That was the menu from the birthday boy. Of course, you had to have ice cream. Oh I forgot Ethan helped mommy make cookies for us to have too. 

Every time he would go by us he would wave at us. He was probably asleep before they reach the corner because of being so tired. They played really hard, but had a great time. Jake was waiting for his turn at the gate, Mommy is holding Cleo with Matt in the blue helmet. The photographer M A Donaldson does a wonderful job taking pictures of the kids. You never know what she is going to take and you can be surprised

I thought I would show you one of the latest things that I have done. I have one in the works in John Deere Colors. This one is in my etsy shop. It is a single pillow case. My boys liked it, but mommy would like it on a different color pillowcase. I got to see what I can find so many now days already has a design on them.

 I don't usually post a picture of me, but Matt was taking pictures and he took this one of me. I didn't realize how gray my hair was getting, but I think I will just leave it that way. If I color it, which is expensive and you have to have it done every little bit. I don't have the time nor patience.

 Would you believe he is thirteen? I remember the day he was born. I spent a lot of time with his mommy when she was in labor. I use to spend time rocking and reading to him. He is modeling his new belt buckle for everybody.

He was so proud of his belt buckle with a long horn steer on it. His mom and dad got him a pair of spurs with fancy work on them.

I will miss seeing them ride this coming Saturday. I am going to a baby shower for my great niece. She is officially graduated and now has the MD behind her name. She is starting her residency which will be three years. I haven't seen them since her sister's wedding. Will enjoy visiting with family.

Hope you all have a good week. We had some rain, but need more. Sorry about the long post.
