Family Reunion in Soda Springs

We headed up to Soda Springs for a family reunion. It was a great way to end our summer, and a nice little break for Dusty as he starts school again! We had such a great time, playing games, eating good food, and amazing people to hang out with. Thanks everyone for such a great time!

Cousin Zeke, my mom and Dusty doing a kick line - looks pretty good

Dusty playing softball before he got hurt
(he torn his fingernail and there was a lot of blood - it made me sick, so I am not putting a picture up of it)

My cousin Elaine's little girl, Lorna, turned 4 while we were up there. Elaine did a party for her. It was so cute, and Lorna had a great time!

Before the Jump

For Dusty's birthday this year I, along with my mother got him a skydiving experience. Dusty along with Jeff, his mom and her cousin went skydiving. They had a blast!

Signing their lives away - but looking happy doing it

Matt and Travis (my bosses) were there jumping as well. If it wasn't for Travis, Dusty wouldn't have ever been able to go. Travis is the one that convinced me it was "safe"

Getting his harness on - very important It was very uncomfortable to walk in

Dusty was ready to go!

Having the time of his life

After the Jump

Dusty made it safely to the ground. I wasn't super worried, but maybe just a little bit. As he was falling he was screaming my name. What a cute husband I have! He was so excited. He was ready to go again.

Dusty and I went to the Thanksgiving Point Gardens for a date last night. It probably wasn't Dusty's first choice, but he was a good sport. Thanksgiving Point has $2 Tuesdays so we decided to take advantage. They have such gorgeous flowers there, and it was fun to just take a relaxing walk around. We finished the night off at Texas Roadhouse, so Dusty can't complain too much.

Fairview with the Schlappi's

Monday night Dusty and I went down to Fairview to see our friends Tyler and Tilly. It was so good to see them, and have a good night out. Their kids are getting so big! We had a campfire and got to ride some horses. It is gorgeous up there! Thanks for a fun night Schlappi's!

McKay - he is so cute!
