Just Because

Oak Glen

Sunday we went to Oak Glen with our friends the Flemings, Roginas, and Cornetts. We picked fresh apples, got lost in the corn maze, and had a picnic lunch. Gavin and Lincoln loved playing outside with their friends and of course Dusty and I did too!

Our Trip to the Bahamas

We went to the Bahamas to celebrate Dusty and Laci's 30th Birthdays. We stayed at the RIU on Paradise Island. Our hotel was right next to Atlantis, which is an amazing hotel. So we spent a lot of time there. We had 5 wonderful days with our friends. We swam in the beautiful turquoise water, walked on the white sandy beaches, soaked in the pool, played games, ate, drank, danced, laughed, and my favorite part, sleeping in!

The tropical depression hit the islands on the 3rd day of our trip. We didn't let let stop us from having a good time. We took a taxi to Bay Street for some shopping. Then we took a walk down the beach to a local fish fry. We were SOAKED but it was super fun!

Dusty climbed this tree and picked coconuts for all the guys to open. It took them quite some time!

This is one of my favorite pictures from our trip. We bought one of these conch shells to bring home with us.

Most of all...I LOVED spending some quality time with my husband!!

Beach Bums

We just can't get enough of the beach these days. Dusty loves to surf and the little ones love playing on the beach. Some of their favorite thing include: playing in a giant hole that Daddy digs, build sand castles, and run from the waves!

Happy 30th Birthday Dusty

We turned Dusty's 30th birthday into a birthday month. It was filled with tons of fun days spent with allour favorite people. We celebrated in Huntington Beach with many of his friends. We BBQ'd, sang happy birthday and ate some yummy cake. It was really windy with put a little damper on the day but we didn't let that stop us from having fun. We moved the party on into the parking lot!






Next we celebrated at our house with just our family. I made Dusty's favorite dinner parmesan chicken, artichoke, and caesar salad. The kids had fun wearing party hats and making their own cards for daddy with construction paper and crayons.






We also spent one evening at BJ's with Dusty's parents. They invited a few of Dusty's friends to join us. He got an underwater camera that he's had his eye on for some time.

We spent an afternoon at my parents house out by the pool to celebrate with my family as well.

Lastly, we headed to the Bahamas, Paradise Island, with some wonderful friends. More on that to come!

What a lucky guy!
