Play day with 2nd cousins

Mabel LOVES to give hugs... the person receiving the hug usually doesn't appreciate it...
More hugs...

Mabel loves playing in this box! She fits just perfectly :)
This is Lucas. Mabel's CUTE 2nd cousin who is 4 months old, and bigger than her!!!!

Mabel and Kara playing in the box. Kara didn't like it as much since she didn't fit as well as Mabel. But she insisted on joining her! :)

Training horses with Dad...









Mabel loves to go visit her Dad at the round pen. She likes to see the horses, but not too close. Today she was standing at the fence, and a horse put his face right up to hers... she started to shake uncontrollably. It was sooo sad. I have never seen her react like that.
I couldn't pick her up quick enough... After that happened, Collin carried her into the round pen so that she could see some of the other horses. If they got too close, she panicked, and would climb up Collin's chest and over his shoulder. Let's hope she grows out of this... :)

A fun Spring day...


Can you see her teeth? :)


Mabel and Kara




Mabel is 13 months now!! She is just starting to take her first steps, get her first teeth, and her first sprouts of hair! She is getting such a silly personality... always giggling and looking for an audience! She's a big eater now, and eats just about EVERYTHING... including paper, which seems to be her favorite food. She TALKS all of the time... nothing you can understand, but she is always, always talking. She can say, "yeah" but I don't think she knows what it means, or how to use it. She will also sing, "la, la, la" which is an Elmo song she learned from her cousins Mack and Marlee. Her friend Laurie has taught her how to shake her head "no." Not necessarily to say "no," but just to shake it back and forth!

Here she is at a friends house swimming and having fun!!
