The Ranch!

Here are all my pictures of us at the Ranch this past weekend. We had so much fun being with family, and doing all the fun things that we do at the ranch.


Cute Britt relaxing and reading in the sun

Shooting is one of our favorite past times at the ranch. Kyle was so excited to shoot because he just bought himself a new gun. He got a 20 gauge shotgun! That thing has a BIG kick! Bigger than the 12 gauge! Left me bruises!

Cute Porter found a salamander in the pond and kept it as his pet for the remainder of the trip, yuck!


We all went to the Grey's Lake rodeo Saturday. (the whole reason the whole fam went to the ranch in the first place) Here are the rodeo pictures...


Here we are eating the rodeo lunch before it started


This cowgirl had pink wranglers on! MY kind of cowgirl!


This was the "Empty Saddle" ride they did in honor of my cute Grampa Gary who passed last November. He was definatley there with all of us at the ranch that weekend.


My cute cousins


Hudson fell asleep, so I put him in the stroller... when he woke up, he was relaxed as could be!


This was the kids event thing where they chase the cow and have to pull a tie off his butt! It was hilarious!


The bull riding was my favorite!! Man, its so much more intense when your actually there!





After the Rodeo, my dad, Brandon, Kyle, Hudson and I went on a ride up to the Carabou Pond. My memory never serves it justice. It is so beautiful up there in the mountain.




I have the cutest baby in the whole world. Sorry guys!


When we got up there, we turned the machines off and just relaxed, and listened. Nature is so amazing... Hudson loved playing in the tall weeds, and watching all the grasshoppers jump!




Brandon and Kyle making a bridge so that we didnt get all muddy crossing the creek.


Hudson loved the four wheelers


Grampa put a grasshopper in his hand... he didnt seem to mind



On the way back down the mountain Hudson actually fell asleep in my arms. It was so bumpy, and windy. He was smashed in between Brandon and I, and he still managed to do it. I had to take this picture with one hand and aim as good as I could. I thought it was pretty funny.



He was still asleep when we got back and stopped.

I'm so glad you left a comment. I just barely came across your blog and it's fun to see how Hudson is changing and growing! And congrats on baby #2!! I can't wait to see another cute baby of yours! It's always fun to see how different/similiar they look. Mine are SO different! :) Oh and loved the ranch pictures! I have good memories there too! :)

Looks like you guys had fun up at the ranch! Remember when we all went...so long ago! The saddle ride for your grandpa must have been pretty special for your family.
