Happy Birthday Paige!

Today Paige turns the big S-I-X!!! We took her to Chase's farm to ride the horses again. This is the third time we have done it and I always tell her its a surprise, maybe next year she will catch on. The girls love to go to Chase's farm. I'm not sure if they love the chihuahua or the horses more. We actually went to the farm yesterday. Today we went to the children's museum, got a smoothie for lunch then came home to bake the cupcakes for the party at McDonalds. Below are the pics from the farm. Today's pics will hopefully be posted within the next 2 days....

Ruger the chihuahua.


Kimber the yorkie. I could not get him to stay still long enough to take a good pic. He was SOOO cute!


Hi-Ho Paiger!


Paige got brave and took Soph around the lake herself. She is trying to prove to me that she is ready for horseback lessons. Unfortuneately my wallet is not ready to support two kids taking lessons!!


Soph holding on for her life.


I was leading the horse because it was being a little lazy by this point! The girls ran those horses in circles!


Another shot of us walking around.


Em takes time to hold Ruger. He hates to walk apparently so he loved being carried like a baby.


Does she look ready for lessons?


Howdy partner.


Paige started with Em in the lead, until she got brave enough to go on her own.


Cheese alert! The girls wanted me to get up there and I was terrified! I sat on the horse last year, but I never made it move! Once we started to walk I thought I would fall off. Then I got brave as well and made it trot! That really made me giggle. Dont' worry, there's a video that I'll try to post later!


Katie the nurse was very nervous watching us. She did not want to have to "work" on her day off!


Em, at the start of our morning ride. She was thrilled to be the "experienced" one.


Aunt Stef came along for the ride and impressed us all with her skills.


Biscuit, Soph and Fenway. Biscuit lives on the farm with the yorkie and chihuahua. He looks smallish from this angle but I think he must weigh around 120 pounds! He really liked Soph.


Paige was nervous at first.


But slowly loosened her grip.


Ready to ride.


Chase and the girls bribed the horses with some chow before we saddled them up.


Chase's cows. There was one cow that was penned away all by himself. We asked Chase why....he was dinner!


Thanks Chase for a great day! You really made the girls' day...again!
