"Taco Mac," spelled backwards is camo cat! Haha!

Percy has a pillow pet!

Our catfish are getting almost big enough to eat

Johnny practicing up for the state youth competitions coming up

Man, that raisin bread is just dyin' to get out of that bag!

The cats are killing the us with cuteness!

Shadow piled on to Percy. I guess he didn't mind...?

Chicken infestation! :)

Andy wants me to play emoji chess with him...!

Sitting on a sock... Why??!

Andy's joined a volleyball team. So far, so good!

Johnny getting some practice time for his competition, this weekend

Shadow loves to snuggle down between the couch cushion and Julie's lap

My mom treated us to the Wizard of Oz, last weekend

The intermission sunset was nice too.

Andy's Kendama strikes a pose...

Beautiful view in the back yard!

Now Julie's making things too. What a crafty family

This bead and copper wire jewelry is pretty cool!

Andy and I are working on finishing the final stage of his Kendama. The cups.

Home is where the sunset is...

These stuffed animals are adorable!

And the boys are studying networking and the Internet of Things...

Today's the day.

Johnny's first attempt at a homemade fingerboard turned out pretty well.

Andy's brick took a large jump in size this week...

He assimilated one of his competitor's. Capitalism at work!

Julie found Johnny a giant Peep, this year.

His name is Peepachu... haha.

I came home to find John molding his own fingerboard decks

He's drawing inspiration from his cousins attempts. He's even got a "drip catcher" for errant glue. :)

Now THOSE are carrots I enjoy eating! "dirt" and all!

Thanks Susan. ;)

After several attempts, the uncles had to come to the rescue of the drone...

...and the previous attempts by the nephews...!

Making good progress. Only the cups left to make.

Always such good bad memories here! ;)

This is The life!

Thank you Lord for your blessings...!

Playing games with Johnny

He's found this simple card game, but it actually has some pretty fun and interesting strategy...  I am sure he will win a lot! ;)

At least I am a novice engineer!

Good Friday. Full house

As we closed with "The Power of the Cross", We get just a glimpse of what it will be like to sing, with the ten thousands of heavenly hosts, "Thank you for the cross"!

This old Ford truck pulled up next to me at the street

Check out the reflection, I'm looking back at myself.

Now THAT's a grilled cheese sandwich!

Everyone needs a buddy to help with school notes!

There's something funny about them just sitting there together...

These are crazy. But growing up playing with army men makes me just "have" to have some! ;)

Not looking too bad...

Starting the kendama, phase 2

The steaming of a mower blade.

via IFTTT

The sharpening of the mower blades. A ritual of spring! :)

Nothing like the steaming smell of grass on a beautiful day.

Happy birthday young man!

It's always fun to celebrate with you!
The boys all contributed to the cake decorations.

Isaac got all MY presents last night! ;)

We have similar taste in bags, para-cord, drones, and candy!

Awesome, I've always wanted some!

And then there was light...

...FREEDOM was rising

So darkness made its attempts 

To attack the light

But I have news for darkness:

It shoulda killed you

When it had a chance

You are the resistance

If you're alive and you're breathing today

Your calling is that the world will take notice

That He lives inside of you

It's His Word it's been hidden 

In your heart since the beginning

It's time to finish the race

That was started so long ago

Do you hear the chants?

It's the sound of heaven

Screaming your name

Let us run with endurance, The race 

That has been marked out for us

Keep your eyes on Jesus 

the champion Of the world

Can you hear it?

Freedom Is rising! 

"Rebuild" Lyrics by Worth Dying For, from the album Live Riot

A drone "selfie"

All warm and cuddly!

I re-entered the world of drones.

I've been saving up for a really good one. I decided I better get in practice first, so I bought this toy. It's a good thing... I also Had to replace my clutch this week. No more drone fund! ;)
This one will do for a while.

Andy's babies are growing!

You almost couldn't see them when they were born. Now look how "big" they are!

Name tag brick bonus!

Andy has been "collecting" name tags from church. Last night, the printers were "glitching out", as he put it. What a score.

That's his "name tag brick" under his left arm.

New options at Roosters

We celebrated my mother in-law's birthday this weekend. Of course, I had to try the nuclear option! ;)

Sometimes, you don't feel good and just need a NAP!
