Spring Time is here!

Spring time is officially here. The weather in Oklahoma has been great, babies are coming out of the woodworks, and everything is turning green!

Recently, we have definitely been taking advantage of the beautiful weather. 2 weeks ago, our good friends the Smith's (who are probably the most fun loving people I have ever met- it's not unusual to go to their house for dinner, and end up playing a few riveting rounds of hide and seek in their large house with all of the lights off.) decided to have a large slip and slide in the park near their house complete with baby shampoo (To help with the sliding). It was some good clean fun, and such a good time that made us feel like kids again! Here are a few pictures of the event.

Also as of late, we have had some neighbors move in. In the backyard. Specifically in our satellite dish. When I got back from Houston, I noticed some little finches that kept hanging around. 2 of them. I thought they just liked us until I spotted this:

I was pretty excited, and have been watching the nest every week. Finally! About 4 weeks later, these little dudes arrived:

And after a week, they look like this:

SO ADORABLE! They all just look so cozy in their nest sleeping, and their eyes have opened!

I think I might have been a little too interested, though. Sometimes at lunch, while the dogs are in the backyard playing, I want to check up on the little guys.

Well, apparently mother birds are very protective of their young. Who knew? I was standing on a chair, on my tip toes,peeking in to the nest, and I start to hear loud chirping. I didn't think too much of it, since my backyard has turned in to a bird sanctuary of sorts since I got a bird feeder (a purchase I thought of after I saw the nest). The next thing I know, there are feathers flapping in my face, and I almost fell off the chair.

I now take extreme caution now when checking in on the new neighbors. Caution like having to have at least one person watching for Mommy Bird, while Dallas puts me on his shoulders to get a good view and take pictures. :)

I may or may not need help with my undying curiosity.

Ahem.

This past weekend was busy and great! Friday night was spent watching THE LAST ASSIGNMENT NIGHT before ours! Afterwards, Susan and I were baking fools to prepare everything for the baby shower we were throwing on Saturday. The baby shower went great, and Sunday was spent cleaning, grocery shopping, working out and grilling with our friends!

Such a great weekend. :)

This week, we have lots of check rides, tests, and work going on.

That is all for now, so go and enjoy this great Spring time weather! (If you are lucky enough!)

Cheers,

Megan and Dallas
