Book of Leakes

Our house - According to Cadence:

Tiff and Rob came in for Christmas! The first week they were here, over Christmas, they stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Johnson, then just before Rob had to go home, They came to our house and stayed. After Rob went home, Tiff and Cadence stayed with us for another week. This is a picture story of our favorite memories.

Every morning, Kevin, aka. PaPa. left early to go to work, Cadence got up pretty early to start her day. Most mornings she wanted to come outside and help me feed.

I loved having her follow me around the yard and say good morning to the critters.

Cadence took Skittles an apple one morning, but this was as close as she wanted to get to Skittles. The apple didn't quite make it to her and Cadence was trying to get Skittles to come and get the apple. The horses were big and little scary! Cadence called them "neigh neigh's."

But goats aren't so scary! She didn't mind climbing in the pen and helping throw a little hay! These are the "baa baa's".

The "bauck bauck's" however, were her favorite!

She shooed them out of the chicken coop.

Tried to pick them up!

And told them "down", when they were walking along their roosts.

Cadence turned her back on the roost one time and a chicken jumped on her shoulder.

She bent her knees and waited for her to get off, then continued with her chicken rounds.

It didn't matter how cold it was, she wanted to go outside, multiple times during the day and see the "bauck bauck's".

Ohno was her buddy and she made sure he got a good morning pat every morning.

Ohno is the only one she called by name!

Great Grandma and Grandpa Leake have two kitties. This soon became "Grandma meow, meow". Here Cadence is giving Milly a hug. Grandma says she hasn't seen Milly let any of the other little kids hug her. Milly must like Cadence.

Cadence is telling Milly a story!

These are some of my favorite pictures of the silly things Cadence did. She knows how to make us smile. I have a white ceramic garbage can next to the toilet. Cadence would sit in the garbage can, like she was sitting on the toilet, and then smile.

Here she tried on some big boots! Have you ever seen a tongue that long on a little girl!

The weather was very nice so we loaded the horses up and went to Dimple Dell for a ride. Cadence did great. She did get a little restless when we were about half way back and kept telling us that she wanted to walk.
