Brigden's Third Month, Part 1

This post is all about:

After we left from Peoria, we were went to the ranch that Casey's family has in New Mexico. We spent about two weeks there and it was great! Torie went with us because my mom, dad, and other sisters were going on the Trek. It was fun to have her there with us. She sure makes for an exciting time, you definitely won't stop laughing when she is there, that's for sure!
We decided to drive through St. Johns so we could stop and see Nana, this would be the first time for Brigden to meet her! We had a great visit and Casey's cousin, Brittany, and her new little baby, Addison, met us there. Brigden and Addison are only about a week apart.

We had so much fun while we were at the ranch. Jeniffer and Josh were there for the first half of the time we were there. It was fun to spend time with them, Casey's parents, and Kimberly and her cute boys. Casey was able to help his dad a lot and also helped put in some great wood flooring. It looks awesome! It was such a great experience to be in such a beautiful place with people we love. The ranch is seriously a retreat from the world. When I am there, I am reminded of what is really important. We have such a beautiful world around us. Here are some fun pictures from the time we spent there:


We celebrated my birthday while we were there and went to this cool place called the Catwalk. We swam a little bit but the water was so cold. It is really cool- there is this waterfall that you cannot see from the trail, it's kind of in a cave-like place, and you have to go through the water under a few huge rocks to get to it. Casey, Torie, Mikayla, and I went to it. It was so neat! We also had a great BBQ there when we were done. We love adventures!

The rest of my family came after they were done with the Trek to get Torie and stayed a night. We did some fun things while they were there like digging for pottery and riding the four wheelers.

There is a hummingbird feeder on the back porch that attracts tons of hummingbirds. My dad renamed the ranch the "Hummingbird Ranch." He started acting like a hummingbird, buzzing all around with his arms out and Brigden LOVED it. He also recruited Torie to help him with his hummingbird exercises. So fun...
We had so much fun while we were there and wish that we didn't have to leave! Hopefully we can make it back soon!
