Crunchy Leaves!

Last week I took my first "official" lesson on Prince at Tami's arena and LOVED it!  Prince kicked a big yoga ball around while I rode him between the goal posts.  I even trotted around the whole arena by myself a couple of times.  Today was a perfect fall day to practice around the neighborhood...lots of deep leaves to crunch through!

Happy Halloween!

Baby Buns

About a month ago, naughty Chino destroyed a bunny nest so we took the babies inside to raise.  One survived to be released back into our woods – it was fun to nurse a baby bunny!

 

 

 

 

We even got to take it camping over the 4th of July!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ready to go!

Port-a-pot with a view…

Last weekend we got to cruise around a local lake (Panther) in Dad’s boat…I had fun casting my pretend fishing pole and using the potty in the middle of the lake!

Spring Chickens!

Right on schedule, the chicks started hatching this morning!  I hurried outside so that I could see them as they were coming out of their eggs.  So far three are out, and there are six more to go.  We could see the little “pips” on the unhatched eggs where the chicks were starting to peck their way out.  So cool!

Spring is here!

Today was beautiful – no rain, lots of sun!  Mom, Dad and I all spent the day working hard outside.  I collected eggs, fed the old apples and bananas to the goats and horses and dug for worms.  Mom and I have been building a nice house for Siddle and Diddle to live in…hopefully it will be done soon so I can post some photos of it!

By the way, Diddle is one of the ducks from two blog entries ago…scroll down to see how tiny he was less than two months ago!  Siddle is a little smaller, but she didn’t want to be in the picture today .

On their way home…

Grammie and Grampie are on the road again…wonder how long it will take them to get back?

Snack Quackers

Last week another chicken hatched out two ducklings so we brought them inside the house to live in a cage until they get a little bigger.  They’ve adopted me as their mom and like to follow me around!  Mom says they must be pretty tough because they don’t seem to mind all of my handling…this morning I even stuffed both of them into a ziploc sandwich baggy when Mom wasn’t looking.

I love swimming!

Today was my third class without Mama in the water with me – I don’t miss her at all!  She’s pretty happy about not having to get into the water with me too…she’d rather be on the outside taking pictures.

They Made It!

After 10 days, 10 states and 4000 miles, Grammie and Grampie made it to Florida...check out their new digs!

Grammie and Grampie McMahon are on a road trip to Florida…follow their progress on my fancy map!more...

Garden Planning…

We woke up to a thunder/snow storm this morning…hopefully it will be spring by the time these seedlings are ready to transplant!

Chomp Chomp

Mama took me to the Seattle Kids Museum to see the Clifford exhibit on Thursday.  Clifford was cool, but my favorite part of the visit was playing with scissors in the Art Room.  This was only my second time using scissors, and I found that I was pretty good at it!  Mama said that watching me was better than watching TV…she noticed that my mouth moved in sync with the scissors!
