the RANCH and more

Sorry I have not been posting, my laptop has pretty much crashed on me and so I pulled out my old lap top and it is a lot slower than what I am use to.  So I have not been patient enough to blog.  But my sister has pretty much blogged about everything we have been up to so you can click

HERE the ranch

HERE Seven Peaks

HERE Rocky Mountain Raceway

and

HERE Rodeo

to see what we have been up to.  Also here are a few of my favorite pictures that I took...

At the Ranch

Paxton loved playing in the creek and would always come out soaking wet, but he didn't even care.  The boys like catching frogs and snakes and looking for fish.

Love these people!

Our 2 1/2 hour drive to the nearest vet for Lilo to get 3 stitches!  Poor dog, but it was bound to happen she loved those four wheelers a little too much!  She is doing just fine, she was running on it when we got back.

Rem and I enjoyed taking a nap in the shade near the boise river while waiting for Lilo.

I loved taking Paxton for four-wheeler rides.  He was so talkative on the whole ride and loved the bumps!

Cute cousins

Buzz and Woody!  Paxton would not sit still for a picture, he just kept saying "Two Infinity and Beyond"!

Falling asleep on the ride, it must have been way past his nap time!

We didn't have horses this year, so we had to make do with sitting on their saddles and pretending.

Getting locked in the old town jail.

The cute Kimballs on the canoe.  (Rem's sister)  It was so much fun having them there and being able to share this wonderful place with them.  They LOVED it!

Rocky Mountain Races

Rodeo

Too bad my eyes are closed, my boys are looking good in this picture!

Our little cowboy!

happy FOURTH

In the morning we went to my parents ward breakfast.  It was fun to see some of the old ward members.  There were even some asking if Paxton was the kid on the Chuck-a-rama commercial, he's getting famous ;) haha

Then we were invited to go swimming with Rem's family.  Paxton is not huge fan of the swimming pool.  He likes to play on the stairs, but when you take him deeper he holds on for dear life and the second he feels you loosening your grip he starts to FREAK out!!  I don't know how to make this kid realize that he can float by himself. 

His cousin Tyson that is younger than him LOVES the pool!!  He was jumping off the diving board and swimming around every where like a pro.  These guys are coming to the Ranch with us tomorrow, so hopefully after a week of swimming we can get Paxton to overcome his fear.

Then later we called up some friends and met them over by Jordan High School and watched the Sandy City fireworks.

Paxton had a blast playing with the other kids, they ran all over the hill.  He didn't want to sit very long to watch the fireworks though.

Cute Kid, I can't believe how big he is looking.
