Silly Saturday

Funny from today:

Setting: Daisy is in her high chair eating a doughnut while I'm doing her hair and we're watching Duck Dynasty. Jep comes on the screen.

Daisy: That's Santa Claus!

Funny Friday

Funny things heard in our house tonight:

Setting: I'm singing All Aboard the Choo Choo Train (thank you Disney Jr) and Daisy is jumping up and down.

Daisy: I can't (unintelligible)
Me: What?
Daisy: I can't fly!
Me: No. You can't. You don't have wings.
Daisy: I know!

Setting: Daisy is running around with one of her babies in the stroller and a play phone in her hand. She runs past her toy chest and sees a small piece of cloth (she calls it a towel). She grabs it and moves to the floor.

Me: What are you cleaning?
Daisy moves and reveals she has covered her phone with the cloth.
Daisy: Phone is sleeping!

NYR: Ride My Horse

Daisy's new year's resolution (NYR) to ride her horse. The first day of the new year we took Daisy riding on Yuma. Every single day since then she has asked to wear her boots and at least once or 100 times during the day asked, "Ride horses?" Apparently she's a fan. We've now ridden 3 out of the 6 days of the year, that's half the current year!

That way Mama, that way!

Mama: Are you having fun? Daisy: Yes!

This is what she does when we tell her to hold on. If she won't hold on to the saddle then the reins will have to do.

How are your new year's resolutions working out?

New Year's Day

This is how we spent our New Year's Day. First day of 2014 and Daisy got to use her saddle for the first time. To say she loved it was an understatement. G-Ma and Roy came out to ride with us. G-Ma has a broken foot but she didn't let that stop her. In spite of all our reminders, Daisy really wanted to let go of the saddle and twist around at every opportunity. My little dare devil she is.

Her little legs don't reach the stirrups, even as high as possible so we pulled out an old trail guide trick and used the inner part of the stirrups to create stirrups.

Daisy is on Yuma, a third generation horse. He was my mom's then he became mine when I was a kid and now he's Daisy's. He probably won't be around for too much longer but he is around just long enough to give her a good positive start.

 Apparently, Rocky is a very gentle horse when it comes to feeding This is good for our two-year old. She didn't much like the slimy lips though. Hopefully when she's older, Rocky will be Daisy's horse.

This picture makes me think she's going to fly off the bales in a karate type move.

Little feet, little boots, little girl. Way more than I ever dreamed.
