3 months later...

After we left Ruidoso we headed down the mountain to Las Cruces! I was down right giddy to be home... we spent the next five days visiting friends, eating ourselves into a chile induced coma (true story), sledding at white sands, and enjoying family time.

Momma went with us to White Sands

Once we convinced her to go down the hills we couldn't get her to stop! 

So much for pictures

The boys enjoying some cupcakes!

I miss my bestie!!!

Goose and his BESTIE

On the way home we detoured slightly and stopped by Farwell, TX... home to my S.I.L and soon to be B.I.L.  Jeroen played tour guide around the dairy and the kids loved it!  I tried to steal a couple calves (literally hours old), seriously, you would have thought I'd never seen a baby ANYTHING before.

I wanted to take him home

He was in hog heaven!!! 

This was his reaction to having to get OFF the tractor

Reed and Traci

I wish we would have had more than a couple hours at Traci and Jeroen's but it was a couple hours of good quality time.  Can't wait to go back. We've already decided that the kids are going to have to go spend summers and be put to work on the dairy! :-D  I might come and steal some of the bull calves.... 

This post doesn't do the trip justice but it's all I can muster up since I've been putting it off so long.
