Our hummingbirds

 
Late one night Ryan discovered an hummingbird in our tree sitting on a nest. We had one guess for why....
 
 
BABIES!
 
 
We made some home made necter for our hummingbird. The kids names her Honey!
 
 
She was such a dedicated mommy. We just loved her. She was very protective as well. If you got too close she came zoomping around you to scare you off.
 
 
Whenever she would fly away to get food we took the chance and would go in and take some pictures.
 
 
 
But she didn't go too far, she always came back to protect her babies.
 
 
Finally one day they were born. They were the cutest things ever. They didn't look like hummingbirds at all. It was the craziest thing. We weren't sure if they were a boy and girl or two girls or two boys, but since one was a little bigger Brooklynn thought it was a boy. She named the babies Pebbles and BamBam.
 
 
See their cute little beaks sticking out under Honey? So adorable.
 
 
As they got bigger they started to look more like hummingbirds.
 
 
They got bigger and braver and started to fly. Eventually one day they flew away and never came back. We were really sad, but we enjoyed them for the month that we had them. We will never forget our little bird babies and mommy. Honey, Pebbles and BamBam, We love you!
