Mule Days!

For those of you who don't know.....memorial weekend in Bishop is Mule Days. We have a week long festival for mules. Yep Bishop is officially the jack ass capitol of the world and proud of it! Austin got to see his first mule days parade, wait make that his first parade ever! today. He loved it! I didn't want to wake him up from his nap, so he only caught the last 30 min. or so of it but that was perfect. He just sat there with his mouth open pointing and talking to the mules and horses prancing by. He didn't get bored at all and was fascinated the whole time we were there. After the parade we walked over to the fair grounds and got to see some amazing Percheron horses that stood over 6 feet tall and weigh about 2200 pounds! Wow!! They were beautiful and Austin and me were both in awe of them. But the camera battery was dead, UUGGHHHH so I didn't get a picture but I might just have to go back tomorrow....if I get a chance. Austin is turning into quite the little walker. He hasn't taken his official "first steps" by himself yet but all he wants to do is stand up and walk along furniture and walk around holding momma or dada's hands. And boy, don't make him sit down again and crawl after he has been walking around cause he gets sooooo mad. It wouldn't surprise me if he was walking by his first birthday or very soon after. Speaking of birthday its 2 weeks from today!! Oh my goodness I can't believe its almost here! I can't believe this time last year I was still pregnant and miserably swollen with pitting edema and here he is almost a year already! I am so excited for his party! He is going to have an "under the sea" party with his cousin Taylie. We thought we might as well combine it this year because after the first one we will probably want to do their own parties. So yep its double baby party time!! We have all kinds of cute decorations and I'm praying the weather cooperates because the party is outside and at my house! Ekkk! I'm sure everything will turn out perfect! Hope everyone is starting to enjoy this beautiful spring!!!
