Sweet!

This year the Larimer County Fair coincided with the 10th anniversary of the opening of the big and beautiful facility known as "The Ranch." They had cupcakes to celebrate!

Mama took a picture of the top of her cupcake before she ate it so you could see what it looked like.

She also took pictures of the horses outside the celebration tent (which she thinks were part of the mounted sheriff's posse.) Mostly these were for Jennifer, with the pinto for Teresa too)

Carnival rides

When we went to the Larimer County Fair I saw the ferris wheel and wanted to ride on it. So Mama purchased ride tickets and we got in line. About halfway up the line, I realized that maybe I didn't want to go on that ride. So Mama let me do some other rides to use up the tickets.

First stop was the train ride.

Next up was the jeep (or dune buggy?) ride. I got "into" the driving part!

Then I got on the flying elephant ride--but the elephant I was in didn't actually go up until the very end.

I finished up on the motorcycle (or dune buggy?) ride. I like the driving rides at this point in my life.

Vaulting horses in my future?

We went to the Larimer County Fair last month and got to see lots of things. One of them was the horses used for vaulting, which is a bit like doing gymnastics on a cantering horse.

I had an opportunity to get on a "dummy" horse and try out a few poses.

What do you think? Am I a natural?

Body art

A couple of weeks ago, Daddy and I spent some time together and I wanted to have a little body art on our toes, and on my face and neck. I think Daddy did a GREAT job with his designs, don't you?

Fourth of July

This is really late, but here are some pictures from the park where we went on Independence Day. We rode our bikes, and then discovered that the playground was closed because of some bees. I was pretty silly that day.

I took a picture of Daddy and Mama who were not looking as silly as me.

Then we rode home. Sorry this is so short, but at least Mama and I are trying to catch things up again.

Adios, Addy

My cousin Addy, with Aunt Becky and Uncle Austin, are going to Japan for four years or so. Mama and I went down to visit Addy and Aunt Becky this weekend. Here's some pictures:

Floor swimmer Addy

Guess who's mobile?

I think she might be looking up to me? Maybe she's just staring at my silliness.

Mama caught me with a smile on my face

A first for Addy--eating off a spoon willingly!

How many pictures?

How many pictures do you have to take of three kids before you get one where they all look OK?

Mama gave up after these (partially because Connor needed to leave.) But here I am with Connor and my cousin Addy!
