This past Friday and Saturday, Becky had the opportunity to judge at the Western National’s Dance Competition at Lagoon. SO.... 18 month old Rory, and I, had two play days at my house.
She is nuts about horses, so I brought out three horsies that I have here. One is a Beautiful solid oak rocking horse made by the Amish. My cousin, Darlene, found it for me when they were camped right by an Amish community while on vacation. The big furry one is one I spotted on a shelf behind the counter at Kid To Kid. Poor thing had come in with open seams and looking pretty bad. I asked how much for it “as is”. I got him for practically nothing, brought him home and stitched him up and he is like new. He’s a great photo prop. He is also Rory’s favorite. She doesn’t understand why he doesn’t whinny and make galloping sounds or rock like the one her grandpa Shober gave her for Christmas last year. But, because he is fat and comfy, soft and loveable....He is her favorite. Last but not least, is the horse that my little children had when they were young. He has wheels and actually can move along when the child bounces on him but Rory is not strong enough for that trick yet. These are not all....we also have a horse tire swing that we found at the State Fair a few years back. He hangs from a big tree in the backyard. He is a favorite with all of the grandchildren , but Rory simply will not get off without weeping and wailing and knashing of teeth! Following are some cute photos I took while she was here.

Rory is fascinated with busses presently. She loves this Little People school bus....all of you get in your seats now, we will leave soon!
"Ohhhhh" This little girl fell out the door, here let me kiss you and hug you
Bye bye!
Hat on! Pony saddled up....All ready for the Wild Wild Westadventure with Elmo. It's a good thing Grandma is here to move me
from horse to horse about every 2 minutes!
What fun! I'm riding with my good friendsBear and doggie
It's been a long hard day riding the range!
It's enough to wear a cowgirl out!
Maybe a "nack" (snack) would be good. Yum! Graham Crackers,apples, and Slim Fast in whole milk. These adults are always
trying to fatten me up.
Surprise! My Grandma Burge dropped in at Grandma Hubrich's house.I am so happy that she is in town. We played and had a great time.
Do you like the cute dress she bought for me?
Here I am showing my Grandma's how fast I can go on my new car!Thank you Aunt Heidi for handing it down to me. Grandma H and me gave the car a bath in the bathtub. It was so funny! I learned to drive really fast, because I am so smart! Really........she was backing up the incline in the driveway and lifting her feet up and bumping into the fence at the bottom over and over again. Great fun and a good excuse to stay outside!
Grandma Hubrich had fun doing my hair.She says my curls are "to die for"

Those pics are adorable!! I'll have to get copies of some of those. I'm glad that she had so much fun with you! It's nice to have a babysitter that she adores so much.
She really is so cute- I especially love the last picture with all those dark curls! I only had blond one's at my house so I love to see the darker curls. Sounds like a fun couple of days for Cowgirl Rory!
Very cute pictures! You are welcome for the new car, Rory. :-)
I was hoping for pictures of the new countertops & kitchen remodel progress...
