Neighbor Hood Hay Ride...

We had our Annual Hay Ride. It was VERY COLD and WINDY...

We went to the Nursing Home and watched the Hay Ride roll in.

Kora did not know what to think about all the candy...

She got a Smartie and a Reese Cup from the first Two people and she wouldn't put them down.

Kora Lily sat on the wagon and then we went home and waited at Grandma Bonnie's for the Hay Ride to show up. We handed out candy and then we walked down the hill.

One of the girls played games with all the kids... Kora was trying to tell her to come play again! She really enjoyed having someone play with her.

Thanks for a wonderful party! We had a great time!

Kora Lily - 19 months

Kora Lily is growing up so fast....

She loves to sit and color and play with crayons.

She broke her pink crayon and gets mad every time she

opens the box and see's it.

She loves when the UPS or FedEx people come with

boxes for her to play in...

But most of all.... she LOVES to play "OUSI"

as most people would call it.... outside...

We have tons of little Caterpillar's all over our property

and she loves to pet them...

We also found this the other day ousi

on her pumpkin.... she was not impressed

A Monarch caterpillar she found...

She plays with her baby all day long and loves to say

Daddy, Momma, Mine, Daddy, Momma, Mine ALL DAY!!!

Fox....

We have seen some foxes at night around our property...

but this Fox was just taking a stroll down the

road one morning... without a care in the world...

Pumpkin...

We thought Kora Lily was tooo lil' to cut a pumpkin with a knife...

So this year she got to finger paint her pumpkin

She didn't know what was going on... but she was excited

that Mommy took her shirt off.....

Her first "Art Work"

Then she thought it was fun to help

Mommy with her pumpkin...

Then she thought it was lotion

and was trying to rub it into her hands...

More painting...

She did pretty good as far as not getting paint everywhere....

Daddy was not sure how this was going to turn out....

but she had fun and didn't make a HUGE mess!
