The Rodeo and more

Alianna loves horses. This first photo is of the horses that are near our house. Almost every day we go on a walk by the horse (most of the time only one horse is there). She loves to say hi to the horse. One day he was talking to Alianna and now the horse noise is one of her favorites (along with the lion grrrrr). She woke up this morning doing the horse.
So every year there is a rodeo here and since Alianna love horses, we decided to bring her. She loved it! She stood on my lap watching the bucking broncos, the bulls, the sheep, and the other cool horse tricks. She was so excited!




Alianna and papa (Mark's dad).
Alianna's first braid! It stayed in quite a while even without a tie.
Mark is reading one of Alianna's favorite books about the puppies. She loves to read a lot lately--the puppies, and jungle books with lions and elephants (she does all the noises).
Lately Alianna loves to help us get ready. If the closet is open she brings me my sweater and my shoes. She know that she has to bring 2 of the same shoe, and she knows which ones are mine and which are Marks. Sometimes she will even lift our foot and put it on the shoe! She tries to feed us, and give us drinks, and help me up if I am laying down. It's so cute!
The other day I was making a big bag of popcorn for an activity. Alianna was watching from her highchair where I was giving her popcorn without the sharp bits. When I let her down she found the bag and, not worrying about the shells, she started shoveling popcorn in her mouth, then pulling the bag behind her and stopping for more. She loves popcorn.



Isn't she cute!
