On September 1st, Nathan Rock is 13 years old - YIKES - how did that happen so fast!! Way to go Nathan - here are some pics that I thought you might like! Hope you have a terrific day. Grandpa Dennis and I sure love you. Once when you were a little kid you climbed up on his lap and called him, "Grandpa Dentist".
I was remembering how much fun you have always been. You used to like riding in the car with the window down. One time I thought I had strapped you into your car seat pretty tight, but when I looked back in the rear view mirror you had climbed out, lowered the window and were learning out so far all I could see of you was the bottom of your left shoe - I reached back and grabbed your leg and pulled you back in. You were laughing your head off and I had a heart attack.
You look great in your scout uniform!
This is a pic that your Mom sent me from the last trip you and the Atkinson's took to Lake Shasta.
This was from your 2002 Birthday Party. I've got to attend a lot of your parties. There is always a ton of presents, good food, dogs and kids.
You like dogs and they seem to like you. Luke looks happy to have you snuggling him - he growls when Brooke and Hannah squeeze him too hard.
You are destined to play basketball. It's a good thing you like it because your Mother will probably send you to every basketball camp and make you join every league there is - so we're all looking forward to watching you play with the Lakers someday.
You are a star with your cousins!
Speaking of dogs - remember this trip to the Ohlsen's in CO when all you guys decided to walk the dogs and you got stuck with Stubby?!
And remember the time we went to see the butterflys in Palm Desert - you were all good sports about being there in the 110 degree heat.
Well it's a good thing you like to read - because - guess what - you get the same gift again this year. You're awesome Nathan and I sure feel lucky that I get to be in your family. Best wishes forever, Grandma Lynn
