baby birds have it figured out

Here are our birds which have become quite the part of our life the last few months. This was the first batch...

One of the girls said "all that mama does is go get food for her babies and feed them and then go get more food..." 

uhhhh, yep

 And they just wait-with their little mouths open. Really makes me feel compassion for their mama. :)

 One of the Rees-isms to take place in the last few months. She had a field day with the garage door opener while I was taking groceries in and somehow welded my van door to the garage door. Nothing the Overhead Door man couldn't fix for a small little asking price. :)

 My own little baby bird.

 2 and 4

 Aunt Ann came to visit...we loved having her!!!!!!

 Second string mama

 First string Dad

 We don't drink beer much-but had gotten some for a party...the leftovers sat on the deck for a long time-(procrastination is one of our strengths)...one day I came out from a shower to find the girls on the deck having a great old pretend frat party. (like my christian liberal arts self even knows about frat parties)

 Double fisting.

 And we wrapped up a fun semester of gymnastics with the world's best teacher...so great that she welcomed all the kids who weren't in gymnastics to participate every week-

 and this cuddle picture is with MORE who weren't even in the class. Three cheers for Ms. Dawn....
