A Cow Lick

Reeve's Mohawk got a real cowlick! We visited our neighbors down the hill and around a bend and their steer Ricky is VERY friendly.

 I was laughing so hard and then running around to the other side because I was facing the sun that I missed capturing the actual lick to the back of Reeve's head!

Reeve preferred feeding Lady, their 20 year old mare. They just got her, so we had never met her before. She is very smart and gentle...someday in the near future...once Lady gets settled in...Reeve and Kyle will get to ride her!

They have 2 steers...Ricky (the licker) and Hank...Hank is a tad more reserved, but still very friendly. Meet Hank:

Kyle spent his time running around with their dogs. Zeus is the German Shepard and Angel is the Doberman. Kyle was playing "keep-away" under the picnic table. Fear not...Kyle was giving a fearful look in this pic for dramatic effect. Zeus and Angel could not be nicer dogs!

Stella was SQUEALING with JOY at every turn where we greeted a new animal. She LOVES dogs and I can honestly say I've never seen a baby get more excited to see a dog! We saw rabbits, but I had to keep Stella at a distance...they were worried that her excited squealing might give the rabbits a heart attack! Reeve got to go into the chicken coop and gather 5 fresh eggs. All in all it was a great play date!

At home Stella has been enjoying her toy car. She's hard to capture in pictures because as soon as she sees the camera she goes on a mission to get it.

In this pic above you can see her saying "Hey there's that gal with the camera...I want it!" The hat I knit her still fits!

Kyle still fits in the car and had fun with the static electricity!

In addition to playing in cars Stella LOVES to talk on the phone. We have a corded phone...so no worries about radiation around her developing brain :-)
