Horse Vs Harley

The Chicken And The Horse

On the farm lived a chicken and a horse, both of whom loved to play together. One day the two were playing, when the horse fell into a bog and began to sink. Scared for his life, the horse whinnied for the chicken to go get the farmer for help! Off the chicken ran, back to the farm. Arriving at the farm, he searched and searched for the farmer, but to no avail, for he had gone to town with the only tractor. Running around, the chicken spied the farmer's new Harley.

Finding the keys in the ignition, the chicken sped off with a length Of rope hoping he still had time to save his friend's life. Back at The bog, the horse was surprised, but happy, to see the chicken arrive on the shiny Harley, and he managed to get a hold of the loop of rope the chicken tossed to him. After tying the other end to the rear bumper of the farmer's bike, the chicken then drove slowly forward and, with the aid of the powerful bike, rescued the horse! Happy and proud, the chicken rode the Harley back to the farmhouse, And the farmer was none the wiser when he returned. The friendship between the two animals was cemented: Best Buddies, Best Pals.

A few weeks later, the chicken fell into a mud pit, and soon, he too, began to sink and cried out to the horse to save his life! The horse thought a moment, walked over, and straddled the large puddle. Looking underneath, he told the chicken to grab his hangy-down thing And he would then lift him out of the pit. The chicken got a good grip, And the horse pulled him up and out, saving his life.

The moral of the story? (yep, there's a moral)!
"When You're Hung Like A Horse, You Don't Need A Harley To Pick Up Chicks."

We ended up taking Madison to the doctor yesterday and she has and cold and double ear infection again. The second time in 1 month. They put her on some medicine and she is doing better today. Daddy took this picture the other night when she went to bed. She loves her cow and her pink teddy bear. Oh and she wieghed 16 pounds 7 ounces.  

Lets just hope we never see this big a jack rabbit in Oklahoma alive..Andrew can't wait to take Madison to the zoo with him next time. We got a map of the zoo that day and when you see him ask him about his map he loves to show that to everyone and tell them where he was and what animals we saw that day. 

Andrew's class has been working on the computer the last week. His teacher sent us the link for him to work on and he stays glued to the computer learning his ABC's sounds and words that start with the letters. He wanted me to take a picture of him learning his ABC's this night. On this site as well are programs for beginning readers and advanced readers and much much more. The site is www.starfall.com We are very excited to watch him we have found out that he knows more letters then he is willing to let us know and he knows how to move the mouse around and where to go.. 

Andrew likes to take pictures as well so he got the camera the other night and took this picture of sister she wanted to get her hands on the camera as well.. 

We did not see the bears a couple of years ago so we were excited to get to see them this year. They were really friendly too one came down under the fence and stood up on the wall to get a closer look at his lunch (Andrew). Andrew loved these things.... 

Andrew wanted to pose for the camera on the gorilla sign only not the big statues. He told me to wait until he had his pose ready with his hand under his chin. The picture people will love him this year at daycare with his little sister he will want to pose her before they take her picture, can't wait to see those ;) 

We got to see a whole bunch of seahorses that day as well there was this big one and then lots and lots of smaller ones so Andrew wanted a picture of them. 

Finding Nemo...We found him at the zoo with his Dad as Andrew will tell you. 

We took this picture for Aunt Rowena we know how much she loves these animals. The baby that we saw a couple of years ago had grown really big this year. 

They had a spot for toys that they give the orangatangs to play on so Andrew wanted to show us that he could climb like they did and he did great worried me a little but he did not fall..guess it is the monkey in him. 

I love to see the big turtles and we saw a lot of them that day. Andrew took his picture with this one with a little convincing to get on it, it was not real. 

Here is Andrew reading about what elephants eat and where they live. He is learning to use his finger to point to words and trying to sound out words even though he does not know where the words are on the page. We were both so proud to watch this. 

Andrew loves the elephants so he wanted his picture taken on this one. Aunt Rowena will like this picture and he told us that when we took this.. 

Andrew did not want to sit on the gorillas so Daddy did. Okay which is the bigger monkey? Andrew, Maddie and I think Daddy is ;) 

Here is a picture from our zoo trip last Tuesday with Andrew. He loved these frogs and even has the I am cute pose to go with the pictures. 

Here is Granpa and his girl last Sunday. I love this picture ;)
