We went to the ranch last weekend and were only there for one night but it was well worth the drive. We went to the ranch to meet its newest addition. This baby dove is only one week old when this picture was taken. I had to lift the mother off it and take the pictures fast. The daddy was even being very protective. It was soooo cute.

Laina's Teeth?

Scary! Ain't it?

You think thats funny? You should see her eat.

Haley being cute?

If you listen very carefully you can hear the sound of “the wind”.

New Year's

For the week of New Years we decided to take a trip to The Arivaca Ranch. We stayed there for 5 days and had a great time hanging with Daddy.

By far the girl’s favorite part was the chickens.
We spent many long hours harassing... er petting them.

But, what would a trip to the Ranch be without some horseback riding?

This is Bailey. We all took turns riding her. It was a lot of fun.

I love this picture. Daddy with his girls.

Tis the Season to make fun of our Government

Here is the story about our trip to Disney Land.

As you can see (by the snow on the Castle) It had just snowed the day before. :)

Christmas was in the air.

With us we brought My sister Jessica, and my brother Chris.

Most of the rides we very fun.

Some were a little scary.

Some were a lot scary.

But we were all together and had fun.

The lines weren't all bad.

And of course we got to meet Mickey Mouse.

In the end it was a great Holiday Trip to Disney Land.

Glenn's New Job

Glenn has been offered his dream job. On Friday October 17th Glenn accepted the position of Lead Clinical Therapist for the Arivaca Boys Ranch in Tucson Arizona. He is so excited. The Arivaca Ranch is a working ranch with 250 head of cattle and 20 Arabian horses. The ranch is home to the therapeutic boarding school that helps young boys age 13 -17 years old. Glenn will be in charge of all the one-on-one counseling, the group therapy, and writing the program that will be the back bone of the program. This job is perfect for him and we recognize Heavenly Fathers hand in making conditions right for Glenn to get this job. We will not have to move to Tucson. Instead Glenn will work three days on and four days off. Once a month I will bring the girls to Tucson and spend the weekend with Glenn on the ranch. We are so excited and feel blessed to be able to accept this great opportunity.
