Eden's First Birthday Party

Happy Birthday, Sweetie Pie

What is it about Ducks and Kids?

I found the same duck that Mary has at a Hallmark store.  Remember how they loved hers.  First Eden opened it, then Emma had to join in on the fun and thirdly here comes Cousin Jake to see what it was all about.  They all loved it...Even Robert and Eden were playing the Chicken Dance at breakfast the next morning.

Bowling

Emma beat us all.  With a little help from her dad.

The Conservatory

The conservatory is next door to the zoo.  It's so pretty in there. I took the shot of the building itself and Jean took the close ups among the flowers.  I didn't last long before the flowers got to me.  

Afterwards we went to lunch and back to the Kendrick's for naps.  I was tired but happy.   It was a lovely day. 

The next morning it was hugs & kisses and off a local zoo and conservatory.  The weather was beautiful.  And so were the girls. 

Spring Visitor

  
Here he is in all his beauty.  This oriole has stopped by in the spring for about 3 years now to enjoy the hummingbird feeder.  He used to hang upside down to get his beak in the feeder.  So I took one of the tabs off so he can get his beak in easier. He comes by several times day & night for a week or so.   What a treat!

The prettiest flower of them all

Can this girl get any cuter?

Osceola Here We Come

Austin & I left on April 15th and came home on the 20th.  The flight went smoothly and Austin is fun to travel with so we had a time for nice visits.  He's helpful too, seasoned traveler that he is.  Robert picked us up at the airport.  He's in a management training program with a big Home Depot type chain.  He's also taking accounting through The University of Phoenix on line program.  A busy man.  It was great to see him!
