Trip back home

We were able to go to Arizona for a visit in September. It was so fun to be with family and spend some time together. Nixon and I were down for a week, and then Jordan joined us the next week. We got to be there for my birthday, so my sisters spoiled me pretty much the entire day, and then that evening us three went to dinner while Jake and Sam watched all the kids. Pretty brave of them, but all the little people were still alive when we got back. It was so nice to spend some time with my sisters. There really isn't anything better than eating chocolate with your best friends! 

We did all sorts of things while we were home. We swam in Heather's pool, and it was the first time that Nixon didn't cry the whole time we were swimming. I think that fact that it was 100 degrees outside made the water feel pretty darn good. We played with all our cousins and it was just great. We miss all of those little people and are sad that we don't get to see them as often as we'd like! 

Once Jordan got into town, we went up to Eagar for a few days and it was perfect. We planned our trip around this time of year because it's about the only time of year that it's actually green, and I felt it was important for Jordan to see how beautiful Eagar can be. It did not disappoint. We were able to go hiking, bugling, driving on the mountain, horse rides with grandpa, and to the high school football game. It was so nice and so fun to be able to spend some time at home with my mom and dad. They spoiled us and we loved every second of it! I think Nixon is a fan of horses. We pretty much had to pry him down, and he had a huge grin on his little face the entire time. He is just the best little buddy. He was quite a hit at the football game and made friends with EVERYONE that was sitting even remotely close to us. He didnt' get much out of the actual game, but he sure was social! It was nice to go back home for a visit and show Jordan and Nixon a little more of where I grew up and let them see some of the reasons that I love that little valley so much.
