Babies All Around!

Birds and bunnies, oh my!

Early this spring, Patty and I noticed some Robin eggs in the tree next to the house. We weren't sure if they would be okay because they were kind of exposed. Sure enough, they were! I snapped a couple of pictures of their fuzzy little heads before the flew the nest. They're so cute but you have to look close!

Then I was working at the Taste and got a text from Josh with lots of !!!'s...unusual for him, but I was running around like a crazy lady so I didn't have time to check it till later. He was texting to tell me that 5 baby bunnies had made their home in our garden! We were so excited!! I told them they could eat all the green beans if they wanted! (You can see some of the damage they did to the leaves but I think they left the beans alone.) The next day, 4 of them were gone (or at least we couldn't find them in there) and there was one lone little guy. Now he's gone, too. :( But they all left just in time for us to start picking the garden. Can you even handle their cuteness?? (This is just 4, the other little guy was off on his own.) Birds, bunnies...even a wasps nest! Looks like there might be some fertile air floating around the Wright house!! Let's hope that carries to the inside of the house, too! (The air, not the wasps of course!)

Josh & Lincoln's Birthdays: @ the Zoo and such

Since Josh and Linc have birthdays just a few days apart, we had a lot of celebrating all packed in! First, here are some pictures from Lincoln's birthday party. What kids party is complete without a pinata?! Here are some pics of J opening his presents on his birthday:

We told Linc he could choose anything he wanted and we would make a special day for just him. He could pick the park or the Children's Museum, the Indy Zoo, the pool...whatever he wanted. He chose the Indianapolis Zoo (yay!). That was our first choice, too.

Here are Linc and Josh while I sing Happy Birthday to them. We got some so-so cupcakes from a new cupcake shop in town. When you've had More Cupcakes and Sprinkles Cupcakes, these left a little to be desired. But they were fun either way! Josh had the Pooh one (with honey), Linc had a Chocolatey Chocolate one and mine in the bottom there is an Elvis one.Blowing out the candles!
Alright! Birthday Buddies!

This picture melts my heart! I love that they have on their matching plaid shorts and brown shirts! We didn't even plan it!! Linc loves his Uncle Josh so much.
We all loved the giraffes!
Waving to the giraffes! We stood and watched the one at the trees for the longest time. He was licking the tree and Lincoln loved it!
Me and Dinks at the rhinos

I can't believe how big he is!

We had such a great time! He is such a good boy and loved the time with us without having to split the attention with Griff. We'll do the same for Griff in July for his birthday. Wish we could do it more often!

Lukey's Birthday

WOW! It's been a while! I have lots to catch up on after downloading hundreds of pictures the other night!

First up is Lukey's birthday! Our little man is 3 (aka 21)!! We had a doggie beer for him but forgot to give it to him. Last year it scared both of them because of the fizz so I doubt they would have drank it anyway. Instead, we had cupcakes...
