Radiology Party

This past Saturday Dusty had his Radiology class over for a get together. They hadn't been together for awhile and he thought it would be good to get everyone together again. Not everyone was able to make it but about half did. It was a lot of fun, and it was so good to see how everyone was doing and the new additions to the families. Thanks everyone for coming!

Good times at Old Navy

So Tia and her kids having being staying with us and the other night we took a little trip to Old Navy. And there were some good times trying on matching hats.

I couldn't get them all to look at the same time
Kira decided that she just wanted a pic by herself. Isn't Trae so cute in the background?

Sharlyn and Scott's Wedding

This weekend my best friend's Shayla's little sister Sharlyn got married. We went to Logan for the luncheon and then to Blackfoot to help with the reception. It turned out amazing and Sharlyn looked gorgeous, just like always. Here are a few pics from the wedding.

Eastern Idaho State Fair

This weekend we were in Idaho for Sharlyn's wedding and there was no way that I couldn't make a quick stop at the Eastern Idaho State Fair. I don't know if anyone quite understands unless you grew up in Blackfoot, but the fair is just great! It has the best food, my favs are scone nuggets, funnel cakes, and teriyaki bowls. My sister, Tia was up in Soda Springs and decided that she would also like to make a quick run to the fair, and so we met early that morning ate some good food and left before it got too busy. We had a good time.

Random

So this some random pics that I took the other day. Dusty's brother, Trenton, is going throug POST because he is a member of the SWAT team, and he likes to "practice" with Dusty. They are really hilarious to watch.

Love Auntie YaYa and Uncle Dust

Park City and Family Reunion

This past weekend we had a lot of fun. On Friday night Dusty planned a big birthday party for me up in Park City. We stayed at the Westgate Resort and ate at my fav restaraunt the Baja Cantina. Delicious!!! There was about 12 of us at dinner and then Dusty and I along with our friends Peter and Amber, and Karly and Carlos stayed the night. We stayed up until about 2:30, playing games, talking, and lots of laughing. We had a blast! Thanks everyone for coming, and thanks Dust for planning it.

Then on Saturday we had my mom's side family reunion. (sorry I didn't take any pics) It was so much fun seeing everyone. My mom came up with the game Survivor. We were split into 3 teams and we were trying to win the "family unity" neclace. My team kicked butt!!!! We had an obstacle course, put together a puzzle, quiz, and who could eat certain foods the fastest. I had to eat vienna sausages. I wouldn't do it at first, but then I shoved them down and won that round for my team! It was so much fun, and it helps that we won too! So all in all

we had a fabulous weekend.

I FINISHED!!!!

I finished it last night, and wow!!! was it good. I loved it. So intereting, but so amazing. Stephenie Meyer is such a great writer. If you have read the book, leave me a comment and tell me what you think!!! I don't want to say anything on a post that could spoil it for everyone.

Dusty turns 27 Today

Dusty opening his presents
I made this candy bar poster for my cute husband. I did it in about 15 minutes, so it could look better, but he loved it and that is all that matters.

So my amazing husband turns 27 today. And her are a few reasons he is the best ever

1. He is so understanding of my emotional side. He has learned how to comfort and not fix things. I think it takes a lot of guys many years to learn how to do that.

2. He is so willing to try things that I love. He has been to a few dance concerts, plays, and has even watched a couple of muscials with me.

3. He is hilarious! Whenever I am in a bad mood, he is there to put a smile on my face.

4. He is an amazing primary teacher. We teach the 5-6 year olds and they

ALL love him to pieces.

5. He loves me unconditionally!!!! That is the best thing ever. He even loves me when

I drive him crazy.

He is so amazing and I am so thankful to have him in my life. Happy Birthday Dust!!!!

Ali had a Birthday

So this past Saturday I turned the big 22! Really nothing exciting happens when you turn 22, but I had a great day. I was pretty spoiled. Here are some highlights: I got to sleep in, but Trae my wonderful nephew called me around 8 and woke me up to see a wonderful song "Happy Birthday". He calls me YaYa, and he is adorable. Then we went to breakfast at the Craker Barrel. I had some awesome french toast. Then I got to torture Dusty and go see Mama Mia with him. (come to find out he didn't mind it as much as he thought he would. Who can resist ABBA!!!) Then I got a pedicure. It was a great way to top off the day. I have an amazing husband who thinks of everything. Thanks sweetie! Love you!

Enjoy!

Mount Timpanogos Cave

This morning Dusty and I went with our friends, Aaron and Jen from Texas, and hiked up to the Timpanogos Cave. It was pretty intense. I am so out of shape and that hike was steep! The caves were awesome, and I guess they were worth the hike. Thanks Aaron and Jen for the awesome idea.

This is after we finished the hike. My face is BRIGHT RED!!!! I don't sweat, I just have the reddest face ever.

The Heart of the Cave

There is some legend that this is the heart of 2 Indians who died
Dusty and I after we got out of the cave. It was absolutely gorgeous! I little scary for someone who is afraid of heights but beautiful just the same.

Anniversary Weekend

So I decided that I wanted to carry out Dusty and I's anniversary to the weekend. We went and stayed at the Armstrong Mansion, a bed and breakfast in Salt Lake. I would not recommend this place. It was so noisy because it was close to the street, and you could hear when anyone used any sort of water. Plus, the breakfast was not very good. Dusty and I have stayed at a couple bed and breakfasts, and I normally love them, but we will not be going back here. But it was a bonus that they upgraded our room. If you ever want to go to a good bed and breakfast go to the Castle Creek Inn (www.castleutah.com) So Friday night we didn't get any sleep and Saturday we thought that we would try something fun and new, so we went up to Snowbird. They had an Alpine Slide, a tram to ride to the top of the mountain, a zip line, and a bunch of other things to do. I was so proud of myself for going on the zip line. It was pretty scary and intense, but I did it. So Dusty and I had a great anniversary weekend and got to do something things that we normally don't get to do.

We were upgraded to the June Bridal Suite because the innkeeper was using

the room that we booked. Nice upgrade!

This the biggest tub that I have ever seen. You really can't tell by the picture, but it is huge! But also really slick. I about fell on my face!
Dusty riding the bull. He rocked and looked really hot doing it!
On the VERY top of the mountain. I had to use the zoom big time with camera because I couldn't get that close to look down.

3 Year Anniversary

Us at the Melting Pot
The Cheese Course
The Meat Course
(I forgot to take the pic when we first got it)
The Delicious Chocolate!!!

Dusty was being a really good cook. He was all over it!
My favorite was the dessert. Those chocoloate dipped strawberries were to die for!

We got the chocolate and carmel fondue. Amazing!

So on Tuesday, July 8, it was Dusty and I's 3 year anniversary. I couldn't believe it! It seems like we have been together forever, but at the same time I can't believe how fast the 3 years have gone. We have been through a lot, 3 different surgeries, building a house, finishing school and numerous jobs. I have loved almost every minute of it. (I'll be honest the surgeries were not fun) I am so blessed to have such an amazing husband. He is so patient, always makes me laugh and I don't know what I would do without him.

He spoils me too much!! For our anniversary this year, Dusty decided to take me to the Melting Pot.

I had been wanting to go for a long time, and we finally did it. It was so good.

The food was great, and it was very fun and romantic at the same time. Very good choice.

New Hair!

The Side View
The Front
The Back

So, I have cut my hair! It has not been this short since the 8th grade. Crazy! So the pics aren't the greatest it was being out of control today, so sorry. But I decided to cut it because the back had started to really grow from where the doctor shaved it, so I wanted it to all start growing together. It turned out pretty good. It is just taking some getting used to! And I am pretty sure that I look soooo tired in the middle pic. Oh well.
