Vacation continued....


Elise with cousins Dani, & Reed /////Baby Zane

Jordis feeding a calf///// Elise & Uncle Ray, Cousin Reed

Well for the second half of our trip we went to Carey, ID to see Ryan's brother Ray, his wife Jennifer and kids Dani, Reed, and Zane. We haven't seen them since July of last year and Zane is already 5 months old so we needed to go see them. Ray works on a ranch that they do what you would call "Buckaroo style" ranching. They do everything from horse back. Ryan spent tues and wed working with Ray and loved it. But he didn't ride a horse, it hurts his knees to bad so he rode the 4 wheeler. Jennifer and I took the kids to Twin Falls to do a little shopping and then went out to the ranch. The girls were able to help feed the bottle fed calves. Elise was too scared to be down in the pen so she didn't get to hold a bottle but Jordis was so excited that she fed a calf by herself and went up to one to pet it. She almost got kicked by another calf but luckily was too far away. I had a really relaxing time with Jennifer and the kids at their house. We have been sister-in-laws for 3 1/2 years but haven't really had any one on one time so this was nice getting to know her better. They are also going to be moving into a brand new house that was built for them by Ray's company that he works for. They aren't quit done but it looks so nice and big.(They live in a small 2 bedroom house right now) We are home and settled back in now, Ryan is off to a bow shoot tomorrow while the girls and I spend some time with my mom. If it is warm enough I am hoping to work in my garden tomorrow.

So glad to have you guys home. By Tuesday Duane was asking " When is Ryan coming home?" Poor guy I think he is missing Ryan's sweet phone calls. I'm hoping for good weather to so I can work in the yard. What do you think about a BBQ Sunday night?? Talk to ya later. Give the girls a kiss!!
