Some of our summer....

Branson & Forest

Our poor Branson Boy has been teething & just wanted to be cuddled the other night

24th of July
For the 24th of July we headed out to the Gila Valley Celebration here in Safford
Getting ready for the fireworks

We had my nieces Lillie, Kenedy & Kate with us that night and went to Burger King for dinner and Forest and the girls said we had to wear our crowns for the entire night. So here we are at Walmart

HAWLEY LAKE
Every year around the 24th of July we attend the Busby Family Reunion up at Hawley Lake (well we actually rent out Cyclone Lake) but we've been doing it ever since I can remember so here are some of the pictures.

MY FAVORITE QUARTER RIDE
This is mine and Lindsays favorite quarter ride. It goes up and around in a full circle so when I found this one in Showlow I had to ride it

PAYSON AND ROAD TRIP HOME
A few months back we headed to Payson to meet my mom and the grandkids up at our family friends cabin and we brought back Tera's kids and this is exactly how the road trip went - except we didn't happen to catch Rhett throwing up into a cup about 4 times in the car.

CANAL SKIING
One thing that we love to do is to go wakeboarding. Since our closest skiing lake is an hour away we have to compromise sometimes with skiing in the canal behind the Ranger.

My cousin Meagan getting ready to go

I took so many pictures of this because it was Bransons first time in the water - we took him swimming in the canal and he loved it

TABITHA'S BABY SHOWER
My friend Tabitha had her Baby Shower so I put her together a basket of goodies including this flower bow board for her baby's head- To say the least, it is more fun to put together a baby girls gift basket than for a boy.

ME, FOREST, BRANSON + 5
WE headed up to Springerville a few months ago to babysit for Forest's brother Erick and their 5 kids while they attended a pioneer trek.
Branson

There was a fly in at the Springerville airport and they had these skydivers that happened to land right by us on the runway. One of the guys actually had smoke coming from his shoes to slow himself down. It was really awesome.

Forest and Ericks kids on his plane at the airport. Luckily for us it only takes like 35 minutes to fly there as apposed to the 4 hour drive

FINALLY A CRIB
We finally got Branson's crib set up and I love it and it is also super roomy - So roomy that there is room for me

MY FIRST ZUCCHINI
I do have to say that I have had some proud moments with my first garden. We had an abundance of Zucchini's and squash with which I made tons of bread and fried zucchini with and now I am overwhelmed with tomatoes that are delicious

It's Official - We're for Eternity

Well we are so excited to have had the opportunity to be the 1st ones to be sealed in the Gila Valley AZ Temple on My 25th. It was such an amazing experience, especially since me and Forest were able to be sealed to our sweet Branson boy. The Spirit was so sweet and we feel so blessed by this experience and for all of our close friends and family that took part in supporting us. So here are some pictures along with some random pictures that I will label.


After we were sealed me and Forest decided to take kind of a 2nd honeymoon and took a quick trip to Las Vegas (again) and it was a blast as always.

We went to see a Cirque de Soleil show LA REVE and it was really cool

In front of THE WYNN hotel (super nice hotel)

FREMONT STREET - if any of you ever go to Vegas I definately recommend going here - it was so amazing and 1 of my favorite parts of this trip

The Conservatory at The Belagio

Our room at Bally's- usually we stay at Monte Carlo but this was in the middle of the strip so we decided to try something new.

Does this picture not totally capture who I am? Note the Diet Dr. Pepper

Here is my nephew Wyatt playing with Branson. He is totally attached to his blankets and he thinks it is so hilarious when you dangle it over his face then yank it off

My Ganny and Poppy (my mom's parents) had their 50th wedding anniversary party this last weekend and it was such a blast. They had a famous Old Opry Singer there performing all night Leona Williams and me and all of my cousins had the best time dancing and hanging out all night along with enjoying some good old Busby BBQ

Here is Branson in his STUD outfit with his little tie and cute airwalk shoes with Forest

For the anniversary party I was asked to make my salsa recipe- for a TON of people so here it is like 4 hours later and in a 5 gallon bucket - OH it was yummy
