Nate and Emily had a git-together last week so we went up and got to play and hang out for a while. This is a picture of Grandpa Barnes with Linkon, Matthew, Samuel and Jaxon up at Emily's house. I just love the sunset from her house.
On Friday we went up to Emily's to plant flowers in her back yard.

After we finished at Em's we went down to my Dad's and he was fixin fence out in the pasture so we went and hung out with him. Jaxon had so much fun throwing rocks in the canal, riding the four wheeler and "helping" Grandpa. He also got to ride 2 horses. I set him on my dad's horse Reno but Reno was NOT happy so he kicked and bucked a little then took off. Of course I was holding on to Jax so I just lifted him off. Jaxon thought it was pretty cool though and kept telling me all about how he rode a "buckin bronco." He still wanted to ride a horse so we walked over to the Smith's and he got to ride on one of their horses for a bit.
On Saturday we went up to Swan Valley. Tyler's Grandma's house is there in Swan and it is sitting empty right now. There is a possibility that we might live there if our house sells any time soon so I went up see what was all there and what would need to be done before we moved in. It was a bit chilly and rained a little but we still had a picnic and Jaxon had fun running around the property. It was gorgeous up there and it makes me want to live there SO bad! We also drove up to the old ranch up the hill a ways. It is the most beautiful place EVER! From the top of the hill you can see the entire valley, the Palisades dam and on the other side is the mountains. Its breathtaking! When Tyler and I were engaged we went up there and planned our dream house. Unfortunately the property got sold a few years ago and so did the possibility of our dream house on the hill. Oh well, right?
The two pictures above are of the view from the house in Swan Valley.

Jaxon is really obsessed with horses right now so on the way home from Swan we stopped in Rigby and went to the Rodeo. I didn't get any pictures but Jaxon had so much fun! He REALLY wanted to ride a sheep and while the mutton bustin was going on he kept yelling that he wanted to ride. So I told him he could ride one next year.
Anyway, I just realized that this a pretty long post for having "not been up to much lately."
