Old Pictures

I was going through some REALLY old pictures today that I found on my computer. I love going through old pictures of the kids, but it gets sad too. They grow up so fast. It doesn't feel like this was 2 1/2 years ago. Sophie was a year old. She still makes that same face now! I LOVE this picture of Sophie! No idea why she looked sooo sad, but I love the paci phase and everything!

I think this picture is soooo funny, because Brody looks so different than he does now! His big old bald head and skinny arms. He was about 4 weeks old here, and Sophie was 20 months old.

New clothes

Sophie's Easter outfit that I got for her this year. She loves it! Sophie playing dress up, as she does every day. She makes the craziest outfits!

We got Brody new cowboy boots for the Rodeo and for Rodeo Sunday at church.

Discovery Green Park

Every Tuesday morning from 10:30-11:30, they have storytime at Discovery Green Park downtown. Each Tuesday is a different theme. The Tuesday we went they had Buzz and Woody there from Toy Story! They read the book then the characters came out to dance and take pictures with the kids. They also have a great playground there, and two different water/splashpad things there for when it gets hot. They also have picnic tables there for a great lunch spot!

Patiently waiting for Buzz and Woody to come out!!!

Sophie doesn't like to get too close to the characters, so she opted out of the picture.

Rodeo

We took the kids to the Rodeo, the very last day it was open. We usually manage to make more time to go once or twice, but this March was VERY busy! The kids loved the petting zoo, as usual, and wanted to stay there forever. They also really liked the birthing center and the farming area. This year though, Sophie was scared to death of the rides! She rode them last year with me, and this year apparently they had different guys running the rides, because they said she had to go by herself. We tried that a couple times till she realized she wanted nothing to do with the rides! Poor Brody wanted to ride the rides sooo bad, but he couldn't since his sister wouldn't ride them with him! Sophie loved those baby goats!

She wanted her picture with "Bambi" =)

They kept feeding the goats, hay...I guess they eat literally anything!

Our new baby ducklings

We have been watching a duck recently, having her babies in our front yard! It has been the coolest thing, especially for the kids to watch. Everyday we'd go outside and just see the duck sitting there on her eggs. It was a couple weeks that she did that, then they finally hatched! Unfortunately they hatched then headed off to the lake in the neighborhood before we could even really see them. My mom did get a great picture of the babies though, so the kids could see them.


She made her nest of feathers and sat on her eggs for a long time!


There you can see one egg next to her that has already hatched. After they hatched, she still sat on them, and it was hard to see them under her wings.


A closer look at her and the eggs

All of her babies....sooo cute!!!

This is how her nesting spot looks now...so sad not to have babies there anymore.
