Relay for LIFE

Well this weekend I participated in Relay for LIFE with my WELLING family. We had a BLAST and I didn't sleep a wink. Here are some pictures...
This is the SURVIVOR walk. Aunt Jill was in the front waving! What an amazing woman. She battle cancer and is now in remission! We love you Jill!

This is Grandpa Welling and our adopted aunt Judy :)

Next was the Luminaries....little bags with names of people who have had cancer.....

This last bag was for a close friend. She was my Young Women's Leader when I was in High School. But she was more than that...she was like a mother to me. She had six awesome sons! but she said I was always the daughter she never had. I saw her just days before the cancer took her life and am so glad that she let me be a part of her life. Not a day passes that I don't remember a lesson she taught or the example of her faith in all trials. I made the bag for her so that maybe one other person who knew her could remember this remarkable woman.

And to end the post we have our soooo sleepy kids....

Happy, Crazy 4th of July!

So the FOURTH of July for us is CRAZY madness! We hit 3 rodeos in 24 HOURS. Friday night was EVANSTON! He made a GOOD effort but no score...he hurt his shoulder SOMEHOW...hmmm. Then we relaxed Saturday morning in PREP for the rest of the day. At 2:00 we were in WOODRUFF...and again no luck. Then we hit the ROAD...again for TOOELE. We got lost---SHOCKING knowing us! but we eventually found it. The arena was huge!!!!!!!!!! and PACKED! The grand enrty was neat; there were FLAGS from every branch of the armed forces, and their grand marshall was a SALUTE to a fellow that was on the committe but had recently died. I felt so PROUD standing there with my hand over my HEART and thanking Heavenly FATHER for the great blessings I have to enjoy this LAND, freedoms, and LIBERTIES. One sour spot was that during this all....this family was just SITTING there!!!!!!!!!! I was soooo MAD...but I guess that is another EXAMPLE of this great country that gives them the LIBERTY to do that. AFTER that rodeo, we headed back up to EVANSTON for some late night FIREWORKS! I missed the really GOOD stuff but it was great to see FAMILY and enjoy some TIME together. HERE are some recent PHOTOS and VIDEOS of Dusty's rodeos.

MORGAN is on the top and EVANSTON is on the bottom (A couple weeks AGO)

Funny STORY about the video on the BOTTOM...it scared the BEGEEBERZ out of me. I was SHAKING for a while after he RODE. Then that NIGHT when he was watching it again, and AGAIN, and AGAIN...I couldn't stop laughing! His FLIP is incredible! haha...he didn't appreciate the LAUGHTER but I think its HILARIOUS!

Now the 4th of July Rodeos!!! Drum ROLL ............

We have EVANSTON, Woodruff and then Tooele...yea for AMERICA!
