Happy Birthday!

Today I'm 44 years young!  Woo Hoo!  I will be spending the day with my two favorite guys.  Later in the evening we will be with family and pigging out on pizza & hot wings!  Hopefully there will be a chocolate cake...yum!

Happy Birthday to Andy, Chatty Crone's GS!  
We share the same birthday!

Happy Friday to all my friends in blog land!  I'll catch up soon!  
Enjoy some more pics of Mama Mallard and her babies. :)

Good Mama.

Mom, you're embarrassing us! lol

I love this...

Seven Spring Ducklings

Mama Mallard's eggs started hatching Monday afternoon on April Fools Day.  But, she wasn't fooling us, it was the real deal!  And around 7 a.m. this Tuesday morning I had the pleasure of escorting Mama to the lake with her 7 precious ducklings.  I was really hoping they would hatch this Friday, on my birthday.  This was close enough. :)
This is our second year having Mama nest in our yard.  Last year she waddled her babies to the lake on Memorial Day.  
Needless to say my day started off great!
All these photos were taken as the sun was rising so, the lighting is a bit tricky.  
But, I think you can feel the sweetness. :)

She was doing a lot of talking!  A proud Mama for sure. :)

Mama Mallard is Back

Depending on how long you've known me, you may or may not remember our Mama Mallard.  Mama Mallard made her nest in our front yard last year.  What a fun experience it was!  We escorted this proud Mama and her three ducklings down to the lake on Memorial Day where they started their adventure. :)
  
Well, Mama is back!  Seeing that we gave her a bath tub, food and even sprayed her with the water hose, oh how she loved that, it's no surprise that she has returned to the same nest. :)  And we're happy to see her!

Happy Friday everyone!  I will be picking up my mom and grabbing coffee and doing a little shopping.  Hopefully I'll find a treasure at the thrift store. 

I'm pretty and I know it!  lol

Mama is wondering why her tub is so small...
I do need to get her a larger tub. LOL  This is smaller than the one she had last year.

I know I haven't put on this much weight!  This can't be my tub!
