Video: Feeding the Ducks

I took Hallie to the pond across the street from us to feed the ducks and she thought it was the coolest thing ever! She kept doing this fake laugh (which you'll see in the video) because she was just so excited. It was so crazy how close the ducks got to us. After a couple times of throwing bread to the ducks, we noticed that the bread would disappear into the water before the ducks could get to the bread and I finally realized that these big fish were eating the bread as well. At one point, a fish actually jumped out of the water to get the bread before the ducks did!! Of course that happened after I stopped recording!

It's the best when Hallie appreciates the little things in life... it makes my day when I give her something to tell Daddy about over and over again when he gets home! That means I did something right as a mom that day!! Enjoy the movie and the pics below!

Duck Crossing

There is a little pond across the street from our house and we discovered ducks swimming in it a couple of weeks ago so I took the girls over there the other day with some bread to feed the ducks. Hallie was just beside herself because the ducks rushed after each piece of bread that she would throw to them! And after throwing a piece of bread, she would do this fake hysterical laugh because she was so excited. She kept saying,"Ducks are really hungry mama!" Hallie had a lot of fun until one of the baby ducks came right up to her and tried to eat the bread right out of her hand... she obviously wasn't throwing it fast enough!

Three Months on Earth and Life is Good

Sydnee is three months old now! Wow, has time flown by! Sydnee has kept the past three months quite eventful with a trip to the ER, a couple illnesses, and a heart murmur... just to name a few! Sydnee (and her parents who were a nervous wreck!) are doing just fine and Sydnee is a normal and healthy baby again! (No more heart murmur or sicknesses!) Sydnee learned to roll over last week, and she loves to smile at everyone. All in all... life is pretty sweet with her in it.

Dirty Diapers: A Foreign Object For Some...

Cam always finds the funniest videos on the internet and I just had to share this one. I'm sure all you dads can relate!

Craft Time!

Hallie LOVES doing crafts, so I'm always on the lookout for cheap crafts that she and I can do every week. I found this foamie princess crown at the craft store for a buck and then I let Hallie pick out some fun decorations for her crown. She had a lot of fun decorating it and now she wears it when she dresses up in her dress-up clothes. What a pretty princess!
