Grace and Olivia Visit the Ducks!

 I brought Grace and Olivia back with

me when I returned home and they immediately

wanted to go see their ducks.

 We counted the ducks....

ONE.... TWO..... Oh, No!

We're missing a white one?

We have no clue where it went, but there is

no feather trail indicating that

coyote or fox got it.

And we THOUGHT we were missing

Brilyn's duck, too.... but nope....

It just found a boyfriend and eloped!

It's now on the other side of the pond.

Olivia Riding Popcorn

 Olivia rode Popcorn, too!

She held on tight and kept her balance

just fine.

 Her Momma wanted to walk along beside

her and hold on to her to make sure

she didn't fall off - but Olivia didn't

REALLY need any help!

Just look at her!

She's a BIG girl now!

But, I'm sure she'll always be her

Momma's baby.

We Momma's try so hard to keep them

little.... yet, in the blink of an

eye they seem to grow up over night.

But - Olivia is a little cuddle bug.

No matter how big she gets, I hope

she never outgrows snuggling.

She's the snuggliest little girl I think

I've ever met, and I hope that never

ever changes.

Riding Popcorn!

 While we were at the ranch

both girls got to ride Popcorn!

 Doesn't Gracie look happy up there

on that horse?

I think she needs one!

She rode and she rode and she

rode. I think she and Popcorn

became good friends. She will

probably have to start scheduling

regular visits with him, now.

Two Little Cowgirls!

 I went to Texas to visit a ranch

with Grace and Olivia!

 They met a really nice pony

named Popcorn!

 He was so nice, he actually

tried to give Grace a little kiss!

And Olivia gave him one!

Isn't that the sweetest looking pony?

 

Brilyn and the Ducks!

 I took Brilyn down to the pond

to feed the ducks and we found them

resting on the bank with a few

new little duck friends.

The wood ducks quickly flew away!

 And when Brilyn got too close

for comfort... our ducks

swam away!

But, we poured them some

feed and they had gotten out of

the water and were eating it

by the time we made our

way back to the Razor. 

Pretty Feet

 Grandpa bought us some new nail polish

so the girls were excited to

try it out. It dries faster - but not

quite fast enough to prevent a toddler

from smudging it. However, we got

decent results.

 Gracie's pretty feet!

Olivia's pretty feet!

 

Both girls wanted flowers - which is good, because

flowers are made simply by making dots.

I'm not sure I'm artsy enough for anything

more complicated!

Wildflowers

We've had such crazy

weather this spring that my

garden is not sure what

to make of it.

It's growing - but it's no where

near where it should be.

The WILDFLOWERS are just

now coming out in full strength,

so maybe that's a good sign.

 This is an Indian Paintbrush!

 It grows in single spurts or in

little clusters like this.

They're all over Oklahoma!

And I'm not sure what this is,

but they are all over here, too!

There is a field full of them just down

the road!
