"Come to Arizona they said, it's a dry heat, they said."

This past week we had visitors from the east coast...  Hope and Joy came out for the annual Branding at the Isaacson's ranch.  Moriah, a friend from Indiana, came with them and we all had so much fun together. 

One evening when Justin got home from work we shot skeet.

The shotgun was quite heavy for Joy but she shot it a few times!




Saturday was the Branding at the ranch.  All the kids love to get in the pen and help the guys brand the calves.

Shalom and Hope

There is a small pond there so the boys and Justin took their poles.

It was a beautiful day!

Boaz and Zion getting a ride on the donkey.

Hope, Carol, and Shalom going horseback riding. 

Looks like you got quite the lapful there, Joy! :)

Joy and baby Judah after church on Sunday.

Monday night a bunch of us went down to Sierra Vista to watch the fireworks. 


Justin and Hope tried coyote hunting three different evenings.  Hope shot at one but missed, better luck next time!

One afternoon the girls and I went hiking in the Chiricahuas.

My beautiful sister, Hope



Hiking up the stream bed

We saw a flock of turkeys and quite a few deer on the drive up.

We also hiked Sabino Canyon the day before the girls flew home, 
stay tuned for pictures and the story behind that adventure!! :)
