Father's Day and Ryan's "Homecoming" :)

Cami and I @ Ryan's "Homecoming" or whatever it is called these days. . . :)
Ryan and Uncle Bruce-so good to see family it has been almost a year and a half since I have seen my aunts and uncles. :)
The Ladies! Mom, Grandma Durfee and Ahlstrom, Aunt Sheryl, and Aunt Stephanie! :)
Silly little Nathan!
@ Ben's parents for Father's Day! Ben is the youngest of 17-so we come from very opposite ends of the family, with me being the oldest of 10 kids. I met my neice Niki and her 4 children-my great neices and nephews!-so crazy going from being the oldest of ten kids and the oldest grandchild, to being younger than my nieces and nephews! Never was an aunt before I got married...now I am an aunt 40 some odd times over and a GREAT aunt about 20 times over! So Crazy!!! :)
Ben's dog chico-he is almost 14 and is still as young and playful as can be! That is like 98 in dog years-nuts I tell ya! :)
Chilling with family in Ben's Parents gorgeous yard! So nice to chill and get to know new family-hope to see them all again soon!
Love this pic of Ben and I with the mountains behind Ben's parent's house in the background! :)

Yummy New Food & Fun!

Beautiful!
SO excited! It has been a long time since I have had scones!
Making scones for our first time-that grease is a bit scary! :) We had navajo tacos for dinner and scones with honey butter for dessert-so so so good! :)
Bon Apetit!
Yum!!! :P
Ben working his magic on the bbq! So good sweetie! Thank you!
Loving being together!!! :) I just love this boy! ;)
I don't quite rock the grill like Ben does. :)

Ben's School Suprise! :)

Ben just started online schooling with Stevens Henager. He is studying accounting and business. I am so poroud of him! I decided to get him a little starting school kit with the money I won from the Nordstrom Talent show. He is always so supportive of my hopes and dreams and I just wanted to let him know I am just as supportive of his-even if it is hard and now I barely ever see him! In the end it will pay off! :) Love you babe!;*

Gotta have some snacks to help you stay awake while studying! :)

SO so so proud of my man!
He does so much to make our lives so much better!!! :)

"This is the Place!"

Love the view the monument overlooks!
The "This is the Place" Monument!
Love Hogle Zoo!
It was so hot! We wanted to jump in! :)

Gotta love water!
Old indian writings!
Peek-a-boo!!!
Ben makes such a handsome turtle!!! ;)
Duckies!
The Train!
It was pretty crazy-the train went right through the buffalo pen!
All Aboard!
Ben found his long lost brother-he hopes to be just like him one day...:)
How do I measure up? :)
So funny! I was blowing kisses to this camel and it lifted its head and puckered its lips-hilarious!
Ben felt honored to find a statue of himself in the zoo. ;)
I think it was waiting for us to crawl into its mouth! Yikes!
Ben was too scared but I had fun making faces with the snake-it was cool to have him interact with me-Ben just thought it was creepy!:)
Polly, want a cracker?
Talk about a big kitty!
Probably the closest I will ever be to a tiger....maybe :)


Dippin' Dots! Yummy!!!
Carousel ride-we were the biggest kids on this thing! :) ...and we loved every minute of it!


Baby Elephant Zuri! Too bad it was nap time!
Love this drinking fountain-sad, but it is what I think of every time I think of Hogle Zoo! :)

So Happy Together!
