More Randomness From Our Lives

Aspen's in the middle. See explanation below...
We had two days in a row of no rain and took advantage of it by going to the park each afternoon. I included the two pictures above because Aspen just cracks me up at the park. He has no shyness when it comes to groups of kids already playing. As we walked up to the play structure we could hear the kids counting. Still 50 feet way, Aspen loudly joined in causing the whole group to stop and look at him as he approached. He automatically pushed his way into the middle of the group and started playing. He completely asserts himself into any group without hesitation and immediately starts vying for the top dog position.
I just stand back and try not to laugh.

Journey's favorite part of the park are the 'quak quak's'. She is fascinated by the ducks and loves to feed them. The ducks at the Happy Valley Park are some of the most loved ducks I've ever seen. Every time we go there, there's food floating on top of the water while the ducks ignore it.

Journey doesn't go anywhere without her babies!

One of the best purchases I've made this spring are the rubber boots Aspen's wearing. He's discovered that he can now play in the creek that runs through the park and he loves exploring and pretending that he's apart of Dirty Jobs show.

Even a port-a-crib can become a fun toy in the right hands!

I can't believe they were all able to squish in together. Fun times!

Our afternoon snack time has turned into "tea time". Both Aspen and Journey love eating their snacks on pretty plates and drinking milk from the tiny tea cups. It's a fun time for us all to sit down together after naps are done. I'm hoping to find a chapter type book that we can read out loud together during our tea time. The only problem is that I've always hated reading out loud so I don't know if I'll be able to keep up with that idea.

Here are a couple recent pictures of me at 18 weeks pregnant. Definitely got a belly, but enjoying it while I can before I get giant :)

Also, 18 weeks :)
