Chase is getting so grown up. I am having a hard time with this. He wants to do big boy things mainly ride his bike to school...ALONE. He has never been one for me to be around. His first day of Kindergarten he thought I was ruining his life because I wanted to walk him to class instead of him riding the bus. In second grade he told me it was not "cool" for me to wait outside with him while he catches the bus. This left me inside glued to the window every morning. Now riding his bike. We only live a 1/2 mile from the school...in fact that is why we liked our house so much. The kids could ride their bikes. The problem is that people drive WAY TO FAST on the cross roads. That and he is the only kid in the neighborhood that rides to school. I love that he is so independent. I truly think that is such a wonderful quality about him. However I just cant let go. I mean when will he ever be old enough to be out of my sight and when will I be ok with that? I think the answer is never. So I guess we just put our faith in God that they will be okay when our heads are turned? OR My great idea follow behind him as he rides to school! I follow behind him in the car and watch to make sure he crosses the roads ok then I drive Brock to school. Then we meet him after school on our bikes. He knows I do this but the rule is I am not allowed to let anyone else around him know what I am doing. I cant wait for him to have kids then maybe he wont think I am totally insane...which I already know I am. I often wonder what I look like doing this? A kidnapper or a crazy controlling mother? Here are some fun pictures of our busy days lately! Enjoy!
Four year old meltdown right in the middle of scout rocket launching!
This picture gives me the full on belly laughs. They are just so stinking cute! Or is it that I know Brock had his underwear on backwards and was having "issues" in which he loudly explained to everyone with in ear shot!
So happy!
Wow they play together!
Building rockets with Dad. The great thing is that Brock sat at that table the ENITRE hour it took to build them. I thought for sure he was getting sick. It may have also been that it was way to hot!
They cuddle together!
For some reason this was the hardest 29th birthday I have had thus far. Could it be that I feel old because the kids are getting so much older or the fact that I was sick as a dog...not sure. Oh and yes Mom Brock does have plenty of clothes. I don't know why he is always in his underwear! Hopefully (I PRAY) he will out grow this.
Brock's May Day hat! I'm so in love with the sparkles in his eyes!
