The last couple of weeks we have had some beautiful weather. One day we hiked Mt. Rose & got a good work out. Another day it was so nice and Russ was off work so we decided to drive the two hour drive each way to Mt. Saint Helens. The wild flowers were just starting to come out. We had lots of good views of the mountain on our drive up there.

On our way home we stopped at this cute little restaurant along the river and had dinner.
Last week Russ had a four day weekend so we decided to take a quick road trip to Lindsey's house in Blackfoot, Idaho. Russ had never seen her house & hadn't seen them since Thanksgiving. Jared drove up and spent a night with us also. It was a fast, but really fun trip!!
I love all their boots lined up in their "mud" room.
In Blackfoot there's a park with a nice trail around a reservoir that's close to two miles long. It was a great place for Tytyn to practice riding his bike & let the kids run around.
Is this a CUTE face or what?
Halter just starting walking a couple of weeks ago & Tytyn was so cute helping him.
We went to Rigby one afternoon to the Family Fun Center.

One morning the crop duster was out and it was so fun to watch them spray the fields. Its amazing how low they go and how close they come to the house and telephone lines.

One evening we went out and tried to get some family photos of the family.

I love to see fathers be affectionate with their kids!
Cute couple!
On our way home we decided to take Hwy 93, a two lane highway. It was definitely longer, but was beautiful! We had fun stopping in some of the small towns & found a few treasures along the way. By the time we got home it had taken us 16 hours!! What a GREAT four day weekend.
So glad you guys made the effort to come, it was so fun to have you for the weekend!!! We sure love you both!
