The Cannons Visit the Farm!

 Back in May I got a Mother's Day gift from the Cannon's; a home cooked dinner from Bailey, and a farm project from Mason. In June, Mark got a similar Father's Day gift; a homemade dessert from Bailey, and a farm project from Mason. They came out to the farm after Charlie was born so we could redeem those gifts. We got our yummy meal from Bailey and Mason helped with an awesome farm project, but the highlight was hanging out with Nora on the farm. She is such a fun age to have around, and even the animals love having a little person around! It was Charlie's first time on the farm, and she loved chilling out on the back porch. So fun!

The afternoon that they arrived, we headed into Idaho Falls for the Walsh company picnic. Nora had a blast, and it was fun to show Charlie off for the first time.

Cutest little Charlie Belle!

The next morning, Nora got right to work on a bracelet craft. She made all of us girl's the cutest matching bracelets.

She had to pause from the bracelet making to give Floof a ride to the gym. 😂 Floof absolutely loves when Nora comes to visit.

All finished!

She is the cutest little thing EVER!

Charlie was pretty easy going. She mostly just chilled.

Not a bad spot to hang out.

Mason and Mark went into work for most of the day, and Bailey had Charlie, so Nora got to hang out with me and help me around the farm.

Clover and Willow adored her!

Cuteness overload!

Here is a fun series of pictures of Clover having no personal boundaries and getting right in Nora's face for a little kiss.

Nora was giving Clover the side eye because she wasn't quite sure why Clover kept coming closer and closer. 😆

Nora was gonna get a smooch whether she wanted one or not.

It didn't take Nora long to realize Clover was just being affectionate. The donkeys followed her all over the place.😊

Nora loved hanging out and watching the chickens.

She sat and watched them play in their splash pad for a long time.

Then it was craft time again! We made pinecone bird feeders from these huge pinecones I collected when I was at Lake Tahoe.

First we spread peanut butter all over our pinecones.

Next we rolled the pinecones in wild bird seed.

Please enjoy this video of Nora telling Bailey that she can't come out to watch, just Pops can. 😂

All finished!

We hung them in the trees by my bird area.

Nora loved helping me refill all the bird feeders each morning.

Floof and Michem watched everything Nora did while she was outside. 😁

A selfie with Freda!

Bailey is not a huge chicken fan (it's bird's in general). The next couple of videos are of her trying to have Freda jump on her arm. 😆

Feeding treats to the goats.

I love reading with my Nora Rae! She could spend hours listening to books.

Once Sawyer and Amanda arrived, Nora wanted Uncle Squiggy to read to her.

She loves when he reads her the Butt or Face book.

Amanda got lots of Charlie snuggles.

So sweet!

Clover and Willow meeting Charlie for the first time. 💖

Mason usually brings Nora's kites when they come visit. We have plenty of wind, and a good area to fly them.

Nora helped me refill all the hummingbird feeders.

We have the best bike riding driveway!

Back out visiting the chickens!

Sweet Opal loved hanging out with Nora.

😊😊😊

Charlie Belle!

Mark, Mason, Sawyer, Amanda, and Nora worked on a paver path for me. I was wearing a trail in the grass from the house to the barn, so I wanted a little path. They finished it in one afternoon, and it turned out so good!

I love it!

A storm was blowing in, but it was still pretty hot, so we set up the sprinkler for Nora. She mostly ran around it without getting wet. 😆

I love when they come and visit, and wish they could do it more often. Better yet, I wish they would just move back! It's so fun to have little people on the farm.
