Saying Goodbye!!!

Saturday was a very heart renching day for the Gustafson Family we had to say goodbye to are dear sweet amazing dog Ahli.

Erik and I took her for her last ride in the back of Big Red. She loved it, all by herself head up loving the wind in her face.

We cannot even tell you the sadness we feel.

12 years together.

Ahli we will miss you terribly!

Winter at the Beach

Oh Ya the Beach!!!

We originally were going to go to the Beach in January to watch Kara run a marathon, however the rain flooded the streets so we rescheduled for February. It was so great to take in that salty sea air. We always have to eat at two places--Luigi's(extremely large pizza) and Taco Surf!!

It is always so fun to hang with Kara and Brenden

We took a long walk on Saturday Morning. We stopped at the Bahia Belle to see the Harbor Seals.

Taco Surf

Thank you mom for a nice quick vaca. We loved it!

Arizona Classic

Every February around Valentines Day the Pinal County fair-grounds Puts on an event called Classic. It is an opportunity for the kids to practice showing before fair. It really is a good time.
Hayden showed Kara. Haydens pour back was killing her be the end.

Hayden got 4th Place in Market, which is really good.

This is Ryker showing Ammon.

Ryker got 3rd place in showmanship, which is also awesome.

Our battery on our camera died so no pics of Zoie but her and Roza did great.

We spend a lot of time sitting around so Ilene had me bring our boutique stuff which went very well. The kids loved running it!
