We have 2 mama ducks at the pond this spring. One has 5 ducklings and this busy mom has 13!

I morphed two photos together for this pic. It was the boys' first field day and they were both very proud of their ribbon!

Fun in the sun! Riley running through the dolphin sprinkler!

We took a field trip to the museum and planetarium today!

Here is a squirrel that discovered my bird feeder and won't leave it alone. I know he probably has a family to feed, too but....I'm going to have to block him from the bird food and I don't think he'll be happy about it.

Memorial day! I wanted both boys to hold the flag but Hunter didn't want to be in the picture so Riley had to hold it by himself and it's heavy!

Today was a big day for Hunter. We replaced his 5-point harness carseat with a booster seat. He can now use a regular seatbelt and he's thrilled! He has more legroom and doesn't feel so confined. He hated to ride in the car because he was so uncomfortable and now he loves it :). Riley got to move into Hunter's old carseat which he loves because it's bigger than the one he had. Now we need a road trip :)

I've just recently started watching UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) and I have to admit I love it! Greg usually goes to the Sports bar to watch it with a friend or two. Then we ordered it on Pay-per-view a couple of times. Tonight was going to be a good one so we planned a babysitter and met couple other people at the bar to watch the fight on the big screens! It was a great night and exciting fight!

Today was my nephew's 22nd birthday. We went to Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant to celebrate! His mom had this awesome balloon bouquet delivered to him :) Happy Birthday Sean!

I found another House Finch nest in a pine bush in my front yard. That makes 3 now!

May 20, 2009

We had a fun afternoon! First the boys went bowling for the first time then we headed to this famous Colorado restaurant, Casa Bonita! (not the best tasting food but a fun place for kids with lots of caves, cliff divers, puppet shows, arcade games and gift shop).

My new birdbath! This is one of the mama House Finches living in my yard!

May 18, 2009

The boys painting rocks on the deck! We had a science experiment and art day today!

May 17, 2009

Just playing around with my 200mm lens! You never want to get too close to a busy bee! I was several feet away and then I cropped the photo quite a bit to give the appearance of using a macro lens.

This is one of the male House Finches living in my yard. I bought a new bird feeder and all the finches seem to be enjoying it.

May 15, 2009

New sneakers for Hunter and Riley...just in time for field day next week :)

The boys at the dental office for a teeth cleaning! No cavities!

May 13, 2009

Science experiments can be fun when you make stuff like this!

I saw a little bird with nesting material and noticed she was making a nest in my downspout. I don't think it will fair well during our next rainstorm but we'll see. You can see her tucked nicely in it and I just happen to catch a bee flying close-by.
