We've Been Busy!

We have had a busy month...and I like to use that as my excuse for not posting more pictures. Early in March we took a trip down to New Mexico to visit Cory's parents. It was a rough trip for little Zane (three days before we left he was diagnosed with a double ear infection and RSV). Not a fun little guy to travel with! While at the ranch we visited both of Cory's brothers that live down there, the girls played with and helped feed a few different orphaned baby lambs (all but one died before we left), and Riley even got to watch the men-folk butcher a cow (from beginning to end). It was pretty cold and windy most of the time we were there, so we didn't get outside as much as the kids would have liked. It was still a fun trip, though.

Bailey jumping on the tramp...love her face in this picture!

Zane in one of the rare moments on our trip he wasn't crying or whining. Poor kid was miserable.

One of the best parts of trips to the ranch...rides with Dad on the four-wheeler. Cory even was able to show them a dead coyote. So Awesome.

One of the only nice days while we were there.

A baby lamb attached itself to Bailey...we couldn't find it's mom and so Grandma and the girls started bottle-feeding it. Bailey named the lamb Black Ears (see, it has black ears). The girls were both kind of sad when Black Ears got sick and eventually died.

Riley and her cousins checking on the baby lambs.

It was freezing cold most of the time we were there...Zane didn't get outside too much because he was so sick.

Riley and Clayton being silly.

Kinda gross, but here is Cory and his dad working on the cow. Riley wanted me to take this picture so she could show her friends at school.
