Feeding the Ducks

This is a little video from when we went to feed the ducks last. I took it on my phone, and I thought it didn't save, but then I found it. I love how into throwing the bread Kaden gets. I love that kid!

Growing too fast

Little man is growing too fast. He's decided the past week that he's determined to use a fork. And he's actually pretty good at it. We were at a restaurant, and I was helping him use a fork. I was impressed at how well he did. 

For dinner I gave him a little fork, and he did really well on his own. I can't believe how fast he's growing up. Fellow mommies, how do we make them slow down???

Football Season

Gig Em Ags!

It's no secret that we're pretty big Aggie fans around here. My buddy Deena & I thought we'd get crafty and make new wreaths for our front doors...in honor of the upcoming A&M football season. I've never been good at taking step-by-step pics. I usually remember sometime around the last step. Plus, I don't even want to get into how many times we changed our minds, went to the store to buy or return items, looked at examples, etc. It's almost comical! But, we love the end result. And we'll definitely be having craft time again soon! :)

Pool & Bubble Time

More pics of our backyard fun in the sun today! We had play time in the pool & with bubbles. Kaden loves the bubbles...and the pool! 

Swinging with Crazy Hair

Kaden informed me that I hadn't taken him outside to swing lately. He made a rather good point, so I caved. At first he wasn't very interested in smiling for the camera. 

 But...I broke him! And got some very cute smiles! Enjoy!

 Love this kid!

Skeeter's Game

Saturday night was "Behind the Badge" night at the Skeeter's game. My dad is not a police officer. (But don't tell him that....he thinks he is!) ;) He is, however, the chaplain of our local police department, and they game him a family pack of tickets for the game. 

 When we got there, there was a really pretty rainbow. It hadn't rained, but we enjoyed it while it was out.

 It was so stinkin hot at the game. There wasn't much of a breeze at first. So, we took Kaden to the splash pad to cool off. 

 Almost the entire length of left & center field is full of playground, carousel, splash pad & swimming pool. It's the perfect family place.

 Dad's get to watch baseball, while moms & kids play in the park/water. Everyone is happy!

 Grammy & Kaden were excited to ride the carousel. 

 Look how he just kicked back and relaxed against Grammy while he rode the horsey. 

We had a great time with family at the game, while we showed our appreciation to all the men & women who help keep us safe! 

The Ducks Like Us!

Last time we went to feed the ducks, Kaden just sat and watched the whole time. This time, however, he knew exactly what to do, and he jumped right in. 

 As soon as we pulled in and parked, the ducks came running. They knew what we were there for.

 He started off in Micah's lap feeding the ducks. Every time Micah handed him a piece of bread, he tried to stick it in his mouth. Apparently he was confused about who's snack time it was.

 He thought it was so funny whenever Micah would throw the bread, and then the ducks would attack it.

 After a few minutes, he decided he wanted down to feed the ducks himself. 

 He would throw the bread and laugh as the ducks ran for it. 

 Every now and then, he would accidentally, hit a duck with a piece of bread, and he thought that was really funny!

 He wasn't scared at all of all the ducks surrounding him.

 In fact, he would talk to them and try to pet them.

 After we were done, he was a little disappointed that all the bread was going. As soon as the food is gone, the ducks take off. They don't stick around to hang out. 

Kaden enjoyed the ducks again. I'm sure this will be one of our regular family outings!
