Luke's 30th birthday

It was the BIG "30" for my hubby, Luke.  So of course I had to plan a super big surprise party for the guy!!  He loves superman so I put together a superman themed party which made it soooo much fun to do!!  Here are the pics.

Me and Luke were invited up to our friends parents cabin in Payson for the long weekend.  We loaded up our quads and headed out Fri and came back on Tues.  Fun weekend with friends doing nothing but fishing, quading, and horseback riding!!  Soooo fun!!




After getting some groceries and unloading at the cabin we headed down the street to the camp ground were a lot of our friends from church was camping.  We visited around the campfire and played mafia (my first time playing and I ended up being mafia!!)  
Also, on our way to the campground we ran across 3 different herds of Elk!!
