Beautiful Nature...

Awhile ago I discovered this beautiful Robins nest filled with 4 blue eggs in it.  I was surprised at how low this nest was and right smack in the middle of my sand pile in the back.  So, lucky me got to take progression pictures of these baby birds hatching and growing at such a rapid speed!  I thought it was sooo beautiful, then I took a look around my house and kind of fell in love with nature all over again and decided to take some pictures of a few of my favorite things in my yard!

I'm such a slacker at my family blog lately.  It's sad but true, but my food blog usually comes first!!  How bad is that!!?!?!  Any ways, here is my sweet sister Brenda who turned 36 this year!  We love her and she had a great!

 Chris and I enjoyng the party!

 Then my Dad turned 56 this year!  Look at all those cute grand kids eager to help Grandpa blow out all his candles!  The kids sure love Grandpa, and LOVE going to see him, hang out at the property with him, and watch movies with him.  And I can't say enough about my Dad!  He is such a wonderful father and Grandfather!  I love him soo much and love spending time with him!

 And here is little RISA  (Marisa).  She turned 2, and got her very own mini Trampoline with balls to  throw everywhere!  Her and Hudson love it!

 And look at that cute cake Abbie made.  Of course she found it on Pinterest!!!
