Feeding, Chasing, and Hugging the Ducks

Feeding the ducks sounds like such a fun activity but all in all I was not prepared for the experience. My flip flop clad feed were covered in duck poop by the end of our short trip.

Not only that... but I don't really like birds, they freak me out. Damon however, was not freaked out at all. He loved to chase them and hug them and try to pick them up. But the topper on the cake was that as he chased them he kept slipping in the poop. Not only was he covered with bird feces but he came up chewing more than once. YUCK!

That just may have been a one and only experience for us. At least Damon had fun :)

Parade Party

We went to the Cedar Homecoming Parade and as you can tell the kiddies loved the suckers they scored.

The whole sucker thing was new to Damon, Cooper, and Kennedy... but it was certainly not Kayden's first; the kid was pro!

Bath time for babies...

I know these are blurry... but they still made the cut.

Dad went out of town for a whole month (yes, you read that right... 4 LONG WEEKS). So, after a week of loneliness on our own we headed down to Aunt Andi's for some good company.

Cute lil' Cupcakes

Have I told you I'm totally into cupcakes these days? Well here are some cooky little owls I made in the spirit of Halloween.

What's better than playing with your toys?

Being one yourself of course!

Girls Hang Out

Kori came to visit from Chicago so we got to have a little girls hang out.

Buddy Lee

Darren laughed at Damon's outfit the other day and told me he looked like Buddy Lee (the old Lee Jeans advertisement doll). I laughed and said no he doesn't.

After pulling up a picture online I was quickly proven wrong.

How does your garden grow...?

Ours grows with cantaloupe :) Darren and I were quite ambitious when buying all the seeds for our garden. Most of them are still sitting in cute little packets in the garage.

However, we did get our cantaloupe in the ground and look what sprouted up?

Even better, it actually tasted GREAT!

Damon loves a good seat just his size... no matter how unconventional it is.

'Girls' Lake Trip

Due to the lack of a baby sitter Damon got to sneak in on our girls lake trip :)
