Turning out ok.........

I am feeling so extremely proud of my son! He is working 20-25 hours a week, taking a college level course in his junior year and pulling in some great grades. He is finding it hard at times, especially when he was playing tennis also. His life was school, tennis, work (until 10:00 pm), and studying until past midnight some nights! He was overwhelmed at times, but kept plugging away!

He had some free time Saturday afternoon and made his old Mom pretty happy by spending the day together taking pictures of nature and each other. I love this one I captured of him. He looks so grown up! Oh, I find myself wishing he was small again. Time goes so fast!

Just wanting to freeze frame life for a while :)

Gentle strength..........

I just love capturing my husband as he affectionately interacts with one of the cats! There is just something about the gentleness he shows! Makes me fall in love with him over and over again!

Below he is with Jade. She use to get most of his attention, but Colby swoops in and takes over, such a jealous little guy! So, I loved when I noticed he took her outside for some one on one time! She loves the outdoors! Oh, and that gentle kiss!

I adore this, Colby ran to greet him the other day when he came home for lunch! This one I love, with his big strong hands gently petting Colby's tiny face!

I can only imagine how I will feel when I catch him interact with our grandchildren one day! Can you ever love someone too much??

Senior year is almost here.......

Colton picked this as his class ring. I think he did a great job. He picked two stones, one actually his birthstone (Ruby), the other to make it have his school colors (Topaz) and diamonds on the side.......cool idea!!

School grad year and tennis.

His name and golf on the other

I love his design!

But, the one thing I don't like is........his last year of high school is coming soon. Exciting and bittersweet at the same time, I want him to go onto college to learn, branch out and face the world on his own....but, that means an empty nest.

Don't know if I am ready for that yet!

Now, that is true frienship........

These two are always grooming each other. But, I will have to say, when it comes to the ears, I'd have to draw the line. Colby doesn't seem to mind though........

Well, maybe on second thought..........yuck!
