The girls and I spent Labor Day weekend in Dallas visiting family while Mike was in MI picking up our furniture. There's a place called Stockyards in Fort Worth that has a little historical district (we went b/c Skye gets extra credit in Social Studies for visiting TX landmarks). It turns out, if you pay this cowboy on the street $3, he'll let you sit on his longhorn. Totally worth every dime. Look how huge he is! -Mind you, Nadja, ahem, Skye, is now 5'8".
I just couldn't get over the size of these bulls! Their horns can measure up to 6' from tip to tip!
After visitng with my brother & his girlfriend in NW Dallas, we headed to NE Dallas to visit my aunt & uncle on their mini farm. (we also got to pick up Bishop Bear who has been living with them since we moved to TX last Sept.)
Uncle Ray introduced the girls to the riding lawnmower which was an instant hit!
This was the funniest part-Michaela just ran and ran after Skye while she was driving.
Feeding Dolly the goat.
Dolly was Bishop's best friend. They ran up and down the fence line once or twice, then Dolly would try to butt him with her little horns. It was so cute!

Wait - I'm confused. . . Skye? Nadja? Same person? Is Skye her middle name? Just checking so that I can keep up - both names are beautiful, and either way - Nadja is *5'8"*??? Sheesh! She is taller than me now!! (i think this is the last year I'll be taller than Madison - she is getting dangerously close to me. . .) What fun pictures - looks like a great time. . .
Skye IS Nadja's middle name, and she decided that since she's starting a whole new life in a new neighborhood, school, and ward, that she would also take on a new name. Thus, Skye was born. I'm having a hard time making the change though.
How fun to see pictures of Aunt Mary and Uncle Ray's new place! It looks like the girls had a great time there.
