Beach Babe!

We took Hadlie to Destin recently and had so much fun playing on the beach!!!!

The Rust's Take Gatlinburg

The Rust clan took our annual trip to Gatlinburg this past weekend and had a marvelous time!

It all began with Mom and Dad...it took them 3 tries to finally get it right, of course, that would be when I was born! (haha)

The grandkids minus Cameron, who is now 18 - We missed you CAM!!!

JR, the oldest, and his family

Todd with his family

Brad and I with our munchkin

Learning to putt-putt, unfortunately, she should have been taking lessons from Mommy. I showed Daddy up by hitting 2 holes in one - which NEVER happens!

Ian learning to golf. Obviously, he's more interested then Hadlie as he is actually watching the ball!

Hadlie is scared of the giant shrimp and all Daddy could do was laugh..

Cute little cousins - poor things were called 'the babies' all weekend!

The girls - Abigail, Hadlie, and Olivia

Carousel

Ian and those BIG beautiful blue eyes!

Some of the boys - well all of them except Todd and Cam

On a funny note, one day last week Hadlie came up to me, kissed my cheek, shook my hand and informed me, "I go to Target." She then proceeded to saunter over to a big cardboard box lying in the foyer, climbed in, and stated, "I at Target Mommy!"

Independence Weekend 2010

We were fortunate enough to spend 4th of July weekend on the lake at Mom and Dad's. My brother and his family were also there so we had a BLAST!!! I love my family and this GREAT country! Thanks to all of those who gave us the freedom we enjoy today!!!
