Awww....mommy wanted to catch these jean-clad cuties before we headed out to a horse-ridin' b-day party we enjoyed on Saturday. No, it's not cool enough for jeans quite yet, darn, but we had to pull them out nonetheless.
Such a classic "Lia look" that I had to post it. 'Don't wook at me' :)
So here's Aurie during part of the party...lovin' the warm and cozy day :)
And Ellie, was on cloud nine... it was so interesting to watch our little girl so interested in something that obviously didn't come from us. We've known she's liked horses, but this really showed us, it's a genuine interest. She was so eager, we were worried that she'd dehydrate (it was darn hot, and she would get off the horse, only to get back in line for another turn, waiting in the hot sun). We'd bring drinks over to her, and make her sip, but nothing could get her to get back under the tent with us. She rode, (even saddlin' up on her own by the third round!) then led, and groomed. Apparently, she even walked the horse with the owner over to the barn when they were done grooming him. She came over to us and asked for "Ellie's mommy" and told me how interested Ellie was. I'm so glad she had so much fun! I guess we'd better look into some riding lessons!
Our li'l wrangler...
Lia had no interest in riding the horse...not sure if it truly was that, or just that it would require standing out in the sun ;) Just the same, she hung out in the shade, munchin' on goldfishies and watermelon.
When there was no option for riding anymore, Ellie took in some birthday treats :)
This is Aurie this morning, taking a nap on our bed. She has recently started to suck her thumb, and I think it's so darned cute. She does still take a soother, but it falls out, and personally, I think she was tired of waiting for one of us to come put it back in...presto! discovery of a useful appendage! :) Ellie and Lia never took a soother for long, and never used their thumbs, so it just is a new thing to see. I hope it helps for her to be able to sooth herself when I can't get to her right away...not that my cutie waits long, mind you. The girls have certainly become accustomed to hearing ' just a minute, mommy has to feed/change/get Aurie. Maybe it'll result in longer naps? One can wish...
This was some fun on mommy's birthday, feeding ducks and geese at the pond before heading over for lunch with friends at school. These birds were really aggressive...you can see Lia upset with them- "Get back in that water, ducks! (they were all ducks).
