"It's not about where you go in life. It's about who's by your side that makes it all worthwhile"

We had a super fun week this past week! First, Dad
come into last friday.  I spent the night with him because Christopher was working so much he stayed our in Driggs.  Then Saturday we went to the temple with my cousin and his family to be with them as they were sealed for time and all eternity! It was so beautiful! I just loved being able to see their dreams come true as Gary and Niki were told that they were now going to be a family forever and always.  I had to rush off after the ceremony because Huntsman's Springs was having their big Celebrate America Event and I'd hardly seen Christopher all week so I was eager to get there and see him at least a bit.  We also had a bunch of friends come with us so it was a blast. Then on top of that my cousin Brandi and her little family joined us! It was so great! The kids LOVED the big firework show that they do at night and I loved watching it with them! Here are the few pictures I was able to get.

My cousin's cute little family!

AMAZING Fireworks!

Finally got to spend five minutes together

So after the LONG day at Huntsman's we went back to the Dustin's to see our adorable little niece and nephew (oh and their parents :p).  Haha we spent the next two days with Tyson and Maddie, Sophie and Kaleb.  It was great to just chill together and spend time with them. Here are the pictures from that! (all Iphone pictures again because I forgot my camera for everything!)

Kaleb just loves to grab his toes!

We went to the park at Huntsman's and  rode a little three way teeter toter!

Fun with mommy and daddy!

Christopher found a little swing under the playset in the shade cuz it was HOT!

Christopher had some fun with Kaleb and the baby doll...

Isn't he just the cutest!

Sooo... the next day Christopher called me up after work and suggested I get our friends and meet him out in Driggs to camp and then float the river the next day for the fourth of July.  We ended up leaving a few hours later and spontaneously headed out.  We got a gorgeous little camping spot that Christopher is obsessed with and spent the night there.  Christopher headed out to work early the next morning and Dave, Kelsey and I just hung out till he got back.  Then we went to grab some lunch in town, took a little hike, played in the creek and cleaned up camp before heading back to the river to meet up with our other friends Tyson and Angela.  It was about 4:30 at this point and Christopher said that the trip would take us about 3 or 4 hours but it took 6.... It got late... and dark... and the mosquitos were literally like fog! It was super fun until that point but after the mosquitos it was MISERABLE it a some what hysterical way haha I can't even describe it so I'm not even going to try other than to say I was surprised that I only got 45 bites... Yes i said only! Pictures!

I know the flash ruined it a bit but I love this picture! And this couple! They are some of our best friends and so much fun!

My cute husband keeping the fire going

Just chilling by the fire... trying to get better at remembering to take pictures.

Our awesome campsite

That husband of mine picked me wildflowers on our hike.

Anyways... you're now caught up on the Dustin's! We had a great week! It ended with dinner at Ole's (our favorite burger joint) and games for David's birthday! I'm looking forward to more times like these during our few weeks off before getting back to the grind and completing my student teaching! Crazy!
