Corben's 1st FISH!!

Daddy surprised Corben this morning with his 1st fish!

Corben is so happy and loves to put his hand up to the bowl.

He also saw the fish food and instantly wanted to feed the fish....several times!

Corben admiring his fish...we are calling him 'Orange', which Corben can now say!

and Mommy got to talk to her girl friend too!

These little boys played pretty good together.

Corben is going through a "mine" stage, so definitely good for him to share!

Feeding the ducks!

Corben so excited!

He was a good bread tosser (notice the bread piece in the air)

Such a happy boy.   He insisted on wearing these shoes!!

A few ducks came up close to the water's edge and instead of throwing them some bread, Corben bent down and said "here" as he stretched his hand out to the ducks!

Meme & her only grand-daughter!

Big smiles, Meme & Mason

Mommy & Mason

Such a happy baby girl!

After he gave the ducks all the bread,

Corben was chasing the ducks to make sure they got back into the water.

Here he is "herding" the ducks back into the water.
