Hub-a-lub, Madi Poo, and Little Miss Rayni Lou.: Today was fun, today is done, tomorrow is another one!

Fun Fun Fun! That is how I can describe our lives lately. Rayni is turning into a rambunctious little thing that we are trying to find more and more things to do to keep up with her thirst for Fun! We used to just be able to get away with walks and nights sitting out on the grass. But she is getting antsy and is constantly on the go. I love that we provide her whole world. I love providing those memories and seeing her reaction to new adventures. I love seeing the world through her eyes. She brings a smile to my face with every squeal, with every smile, with every point, with her little run, and her laughter. She is my Joy and I can't wait to have many more "fun" days with my baby!
Here are some of our big adventures:
Mother's day is makes me so grateful for being a mother. I feel like I am constantly keeping a little prayer in my heart all day thanking my Father in Heaven for giving me the opportunity to be a mama. I wanted nothing more than to spend my day with the man that helped me become a mama and the little one that calls me mama. I also got to spend it with the lovely lady that I get the privilege of calling mama and my amazing daddy. A day at the Zoo seemed like just the thing!

Rayni Lou and Grammy too!

Our next big adventure didn't go according to plan... I have been wanting to take my little lou up to the duck pond by Weber State. But every time I was going to do it it would rain. So it took a couple of weeks but we finally got there. I bought some rolls to take to feed the ducks. But when we got there there was a sign that said "Please don't feed the ducks. It attracts seagulls and seagulls kill baby ducklings" Well... I decided that we were still going to feed them. I know I know, how horrible of me! But I thought that if I just put the bread in their mouth and not on the ground no seagulls would come. So we continued the path towards the rally big ducks and geese. As soon as they saw us they were headed right towards us. There was quite a few and they were BIG! We put Rayni down and littlerally they were as tall as her. She L.O.V.E.S. ducks. But after seeing the height on these things she was not too excited. We tried to do some coaxing. She did warm up sometimes but was still really worried. Well mama decided to pull out the bread. BAD IDEA!

I pulled out a roll. And they were on me like white on rice. I couldn't feed them fast enough

One actually bit me. Can't believe Zach got it on his camera.

We didn't even get through half a roll before we were done. They were not only scaring Rayni at this point but they were also freaking me out.

We moved along to find some smaller nicer duckies. or "gawk gawks" as Rayni calls them.

I think that we ruined it for her though. She was still pretty frightened.

We made some distance between us and the ducks. Daddy and Rayni sat on a pier and made duck noises.

This melts me Heart! She is a stinker when it comes to her daddy so catching little sweet moments like this just makes us so happy!

Eventaully she was done with the walking and just wanted to run. And whispering while she ran "hurry hurry hurry!"

We had a little picnic on the other side of the pond with no ducks around.

Until a mama and a dada duck decided to join us. Rayni got braver and got semi close to it. We would hand her a piece of bread. But instead of throwing it to the duck she would just quickly drop it at her feet then run away when it got close to it.

"Mama Gawk Gawk!"

Perfect end to a... well sorda... perfect day:)

Rayni loves anything that has to do with water. So we decided to pull out her pool for the very first time and she had a blast! When I told her it was time to go inside she started throwing a fit. The only way I got her inside was to tell her, "let's go get in the tubbie!" from one water activity to another. She's my little fish

Could that smile get any bigger!?

To start off our memorial day weekend we decided to take Rayni to the splash pad. I have taken Rayni there once before. But daddy has never been with us. So we got our suits on and headed out. We had such a blast and Rayni L.O.V.E.D it!!!

Can't believe a year has gone by so fast... Last time I take my little Lou she could barley crawl. Now she is running around trying to keep up with the big kids.
