Born to Ride

Justin's grandparents have a ranch at the base of the Big Cottonwood mountain range. His uncle, Jared, now runs the ranch. Out there they have a massive herd of goats, the mustangs, pigs, and the chickens. Holly even got to hold a kidd that was a couple days old. Below are a few pictures of the ranch with the mustangs out grazing.

Holly has always loved to ride on 4-wheelers since she was still in her mommy's tummy. Now look at her. She was born to ride.

This is the view from Justin's parents' house to where we would go riding.
Beautiful riding country. See those bright green leaves peaking out? That was actually a drop off down into the gorge. Holly was so worried we would fall, but her daddy was experienced in the terrain and made it an adventure.
Justin's mom and dad hit a huge mud hole and luckily we were behind them and were able to miss it. As you can see they didn't quit get out of the hole so easily.

Initially, we all had a blast. Justin and I rode each 4 wheeler back into town while Holly and her Grandma and Grandpa took the trailer back to a friends. It was a lot of fun.

No More Monkeys Jumping on the Bed

Holly sure had fun playing with Grandpa Mitton. Little did I know when things got quiet in the house they were up to trouble. This is what I found.

Weekend in Utah

We got to go home to Idaho over Mother's Day weekend and as a special treat we got to spend time with Tiffany's grandma. We spent the night and went shopping together too. Holly and her dad went to the Teddy Bear Workshop and made a bear to remind her of her daddy. His name is Hercules after the plane that Justin works on and he's decked out in camoflauge , just like Justin's uniform.
