Well, this first pic is of Batman the baby robin we found in the backyard. He was hopping around and couldn't fly yet. Nathan was worried about him so he brought him in and was feeding him yesterday. Poor guy made it through the night but bit the dust late morning.

Nathan's dad flew out last week to help Nathan with a project. They built a new gate for the backyard. It turned out super good and you can actually open it, unlike our old one:) We had a really good time while he was out. It was good to catch up and watch some movies and eat some tasty meals! Good bonding time for the men especially:) I think Nathan learned a few things. Now he can fix our fence that is about to be blown over. lol!

We just got our tree in the front yard trimmed this morning. We've been meaning to get to it for over a year now. It looks so much better and isn't hanging on our roof anymore, which was the big problem.

Here are my marigolds. They're all blooming! Can't believe I could actually grow flowers from seeds. It's amazing! We'll see if the other flowers bloom. I think something has been chewing on them.

Addison feeding her baby with the boppy. So cute! She had watched me feeding little Ethan earlier and wanted to try it out:)

Oh, the pic of me is my highlights I did this morning.

Alex's birthday was on the tenth, but I'm just now getting these pics up. Our big four year old! Mom, Dad, Jillian, and Josh came out on the ninth to celebrate Alex's bday, mother's day, and Dad's bday. We had a really good time. I made a batch of Monna's(Nathan's grandma) turkey tacos. Super yummy! We gave him his big birthday present, his bike, on that day. The picture of him looking at it was the first time he saw it:) Grandma and Pappa gave him the Cars cars box.

We wanted to make his actual birthday special too so we planned a few things for the next day. Alex and I went out to Dillons so he could pick out the stuff to make and decorate his cake with. I had him help out and he told me later that that was his favorite part of his birthday. After that, I took him out to see his first movie How to Train your Dragon. He was so cute with his popcorn and drink and he was soooo into the movie. Then, we went and got him a happy meal and he blew out the candles on his cake and then opened other presents. I think it was a good day. Can't believe it's been four years!
