Back from the Ranch

We spent the week after Christmas visiting Cory's family in New Mexico. Ranch life is so much different than our every-day life, so going is quite the adventure for the kids. Riley had such a great time playing with her cousins...she also thought it was great to ride horses, go on motorcycle rides with her dad, and shoot the .22 for the first time (she actually hit the target...with a little assistance from Dad). It was pretty funny to watch her get ready to target shoot with her dad. She has been told over and over again to NEVER touch a gun, and if she does she is grounded for the rest of her life. She had to make sure she wasn't going to get into trouble before she would put one finger on that gun. At least she is listening, right??

Bailey was recuperating from being sick most of the time we were at the ranch. She spent a lot of time begging to go to sleep, and I spent a lot of time fighting to keep her from taking her afternoon nap at 10:00 in the morning! Thank goodness for the portable DVD player that she snuggled up with in her portable crib! She did feel better towards the end of the trip, and had fun jumping on the trampoline and just being outside.





It was fun to see Grandma and Grandpa Bluth, as well as aunts, uncles, and cousins we don't get to see too often. Here are few more random pictures of the trip:
