Happy Birthday to me! I opened the curtains this morning to find 30-40 lawn flamingo's all over my yard. I thought Joseph did it, since I found ballooons all over the living room when I got up this morning! He said he had nothing to do with it, so I guess for now it's a mystery!
This is exactly what I saw as I opened the curtains... There is even a "Happy Birthday Shawna" poster on our van!

The girls were over joyed to run around with the flamingo's! They think it is the best thing that has ever happened to us! Maddy gives them hugs and Sarah pets them. I think they would rather have all these flamingo's than a swing set!


Maddy had compassion for the poor flamingo all by himself. She was concerned that he was by the van and not with the rest of the flock!



I still don't know who did it, but it is so funny! My neighbors are really confused, and the traffic in front of the house slows down so people can stare and try and figure out why I would have so many flamingo's in my yard! Part of me wonders if my neighbors think I've had the baby, and it is a girl because of all the pink. Joseph's Aunt has decortated our yard with pink bows after each of the girls were born, so they must think we've graduated to flamingo's!

Sarah is having a conversation with this flamingo.... She wants to know why he is in our yard, and why he's not pink.


Not only are they all over the yard, Maddy found some in the tree!!

They even gave me Birthday balloons! They were tied to the porch for all to see!




I know I took a lot of pictures, but none of them do the real thing justice. They are EVERYWHERE!! What a fun Birthday surprise. I feel so loved that someone would take the time to put so many flamingo's all over my yard! Now I guess I get to name them all, if Maddy gets her way!
Things are moving right along! Sarah started walking the last week of April. She is a pro now! She does a pretty good job keeping up with Maddy. She is starting to try and repeat things when asked to, especially names. She's growing up so fast, and not a day to soon! Baby Jennings will be here soon enough. I am due in 7 weeks! I can't believe how fast this pregnancy has gone. We still don't know if the baby is a boy or girl, so we'll keep everyone posted as soon as the big day arrives. Hopefully I don't pass my due date yet again...
