The eve of her birthday: just get her to bed and Jed calls me to come down the road and help get some cows in. Afraid she would come downstairs while I was gone....she comes along!
Thumbs up for birthday number FOUR!
She had a preschool "field trip", walk to the library on her birthday, so she was super excited!
And here is what a harvest birthday looks like. You make some supper, pack all the goodies, get the birthday cake, candles, and present, and you head to the field.
And you let your 7-year old brother light the candles...
On the pet carrier that the new puppy, who we have now named Pepper, rode in to the field because she had to come with us.
The puppy that tried to eat the cake while we sang happy birthday.....
And there she is....the birthday girl.
Connor was so excited about her birthday present of Crayola paper, markers, crayons, neon crayons, metallic crayons, and stamper markers, she had to get right to work!
And....the birthday girl even got to bring Pepper inside to watch a little tv on her birthday...lucky Pepper!
Connor's real birthday present was horse riding lessons! She wasn't too excited when we told her about it because she had new markers to play with! But, the day of her first lesson Connor was beyond excited! And they got right to it! Connor got to ride Cheezy. A 21-year old gentle fella.
They got right to it! Connor had to help get Cheezy ready--brushing, picking hooves, helping carry the saddle pad, and even leading him into the ring. Then it was time to get to work! First learning how to just sit and ride, then working up to holding both arms out to learn how to balance!
Connor LOVED it. Can't wait until the next time.
And even though I got a flat tire when we got there because I drove over a piece of rebar that was sticking out of the driveway...we can't wait to go back.
