Vacation February 2011!

Ben doesn't get much time off work because of all the preporation it takes to get someone down here to work for him. So when he does, we take off to visit family. We hadn't had time off since the first week of November so it was time we took off again. Chris was spending time with his dad for the weekend and was really missed. Here is Peyton, Kierstley, and Grannie Annie cleaning up after making cinnomon rolls.
Aunt Michelle took baby duty of Bentley and Isabelle so that the parents could go shoot targets in the back yard. She could only stand and hold both of them for just a second because they are both getting so big.
Grannnie Annie, Keirstley, Bentley, Michelle, and Isabelle relaxing during the afternoon so that we were prepared for an evening of playing games;)
Hailie and Jocelynn playing with puzzles. Jocelynn is getting so big and so smart, she really liked doing the puzzle. After doing the 100 piece puzzle, she asked if they could do another one.
Peyton, Bentley, and Great Grandpa & Grandma Merrill. We don't always get a chance to go and visit the "Greats" while we're down there so we made a special effort to get there, if only for a few minutes, so that they could meet Bentley and to chat for a bit.
Bentley, Peyton, and Great Grandpa & Grandma Roseborough. It was sure a good to see the grandparents and visit. They were both suprized to have us show up at their doorsteps, but were more then grateful for the visit and getting to see the kiddos'!
Bentley and Isabelle are going to be good pals, but I'll be danged if I could get a picture that portraid that. It was either unfocused, one was crying, one was falling over so this is what I got and it'll have to do! Bentley is 2 months and Isabelle is 4 months:)
Rob and Kenny both had new had guns so we endured the wind the was howling outside to get a chance to have some target practice. Here's Rob shooting.
Here is Kenny, Rob, Derek, Ben, and Kristie. I got my turn, but shot the bottom off the milk jug so it wouldn't hold the dirt that was holding it from blowing away anymore. So we had to find a new target, but we all enjoyed the activity.
We love our family very much and sure love our visits. Hope to be able to do it again soon:)
