The Spirit of Optimism

"Cultivate an attitude of happiness. Cultivate a spirit of optimism. Walk with faith, rejoicing in the beauties of nature, in the goodness of those you love, in the testimony which you carry in your heart concerning things divine."

2.5 Weeks Old

Sparkles took the kittens out of the box I had prepared a week or so after they were born.  She moved them to Jacob's bed.  Top bunk.  Then she moved them to the bottom of the book case that is hidden behind Austins bed.  I am glad she moved them down.



I brought the kittens out.  Sparkles was ok for just a minute.  The kittens especially the black tabby cried.  This one has always been noisy.  The buff tabby was more into being curious and looking around. 

It was hard to get up close ones without them being blurry because they kept moving.  But I kept this one because it show the black one mewing.


Sparkles was getting worried and came up.  She was cute because when she way they were ok she layed down and watched.



I moved the kittens back because mommy was looking worried.




Three minutes were up.  Sparkles started to look down in the 'hole'.  Time to go back.

Gradiation

  ps - yes I know how to spell...it is just what we called it.  ;-)  Funny times.

I spent the morning with Amanda buying her a dress, shoes, jewelry and everything else for her graduation outfit.....and I didn't get a picture of it.

Amanda had fun taking pictures of herself in the car.



I wish my more dressy shades hadn't gotten broken...This out in the barn with the horses look, just doesn't match.






So proud of you for sticking it out and all the work you are doing to go to the next step!


Not sure why the fingers are up, but it was fun making the kids laugh.






Choir singing before.


Jazz band.  They were really good.


We were 4 rows up from the floor.  No matter how much we yelled we couldn't get here attention.  She told me after it was over she would hear us, but just couldn't find where we were.




Amanda and her principle.




Oh dang it...the hair.  LOL


                             

New Kitties

Sparkels who is only 10 months old is expecting.  I was too busy with everything else to get her spayed....
:-/
Should have been more of a priority. 

She spend most of the day laying on my lap.  I made her up a box the night before.

Someday Over the Rainbow

I thought maybe today I could get out and train the horses....

I don't mind the rain,(I actually love riding in it), but the mud and the lightning are another matter. I was told that it is not normally this wet and the cold is usually not this late in the season...I am sure glad of that. I love the cool summers, but weather that I can train in for more than 3 months would be nice!!
