My little Entomologist, Horticulturist, Artist and Cowgirl

Danae loves bugs...selectively. We were out pruning the roses the other day and she sees some bees on a bush, she holds her arm out (like she does when we put a ladybug on her) and says "bug on". Of course that didn't happen. Fortunately a few minutes later we found a lady bug for her and she absolutely wanted it to crawl on her. She walks around so carefully when one is on her. Then, when she see ants crawling around she will hold her arm out, regardless of the previous biting incident, and say "bug on", then when we tell her yucky she starts stomping on them. Precious isn't it.

She loves flowers, she will usually pick them and give them to guests before she gives them to mommy, what a little hostess. Its a good thing we have a lot of flowers coming in.


She got upset when she brought Daddy's boots to him and he tried to help her stand in them, she was happy when she could just sit on the floor and put her legs in his almost knee-high boots.

Michael made this chalk board for my self-defense classes (to direct people where the class was), Danae loves it and she uses a box of sidewalk chalk to practice her art skills.

Beautiful Cousins

Heather and Rylee came for the day to do a photo shoot of Heather's Sugar Plum Cowgirl dress-up tutus and my Lil' Wrangler Denim Sunhats.

...of course T-Bone wouldn't stand to be left out...such a ham!

Danae LOVED wearing Rylee's red boots, she wore them all day and whined for them when they were packed up.

Rylee was such a big help with Danae and Danae just wanted to pick flowers for everyone.

We got a lot of really cute photos!

Danae loves all the animals and is certainly my little cowgirl!
