Keep It Simple

Whitney and Russell married! Which means Anna and I got to spend a WHOLE weekend together.   The guys had some much needed dirt bike-bonding time.  And for the sweetest part... we were blessed with a whole week with our nieces!  And the rest of the Buck family  Lovie and Sadie "Higher, Higher".  Happy Anniversary... 65 years!    Wild B's Birthday.  We had a great trip and we will truly miss family and friends {especially, our nieces}. However, living in Az is a great adventure.  "I think I'm quite ready for another adventure" - Bilbo Baggins Thanks for reading!
