A little Out of Order
So these last posts are a little mixed up, but I saw these later and didn't want my kids to think that I wasn't a great mother and forgot their birthdays!!!!
New Favorite Birthday Presents, Mario stuff!!
What was old becomes new again. I would not of guessed that my kids would be playing the games that I played. But I guess that is great marketing...you want your kids to have the same childhood memories that you had. If I had a girl you bet I would be buying My Little Pony and Strawberry Short Cake stuff. But it is fun watching my kids play Super Mario Bros. on the Wii.
Happy 6th Birthday James
Yet another Party at good ol' Chuck E Cheese! James' birthday falls on Dec 30th, poor kid. So lots of family was in town so we had a great big cousin party.
MInute to Win It Birthday Party
After Stewart's indoor soccer game we all came back to celebrate Stewart's birthday. We had pizza and then played Minute to Win It games. The boys had a blast trying to do each game in a minute.
Happy 5th Birthday Jacob
Chuck E Cheese...A typical birthday place for the Rust Boys!!! I wish that they wanted to go somewhere else, but this is the favorite. Can't say these are great pictures but no one wanted to smile for the camera.
Grammy and Grandpa's Setting Apart
One of the coolest experiences is to go to the church office building and get to go into one of the Apostles offices. I went the first time when my parent were set apart as Mission Presidents in Argentina, and Elder Hales set them apart. Now this time was for Jeff's parents setting apart. They will be Mission Presidents in Russia. So we had the opportunity to sit with Elder Anderson, an Apostle of the Lord. It was absolutely amazing. You had to be age 8 or over to come, so Stewart and his cousin Kaden had the special opportunity to come.
Stewart's Baptism Day, April 9, 2011
As it was our first child getting baptized I was all excited to make the most of it. I wanted some special items to give Stewart so he could keep them forever. So I decided on a book I made off of Shutterfly that had some of the main events that happened in his life up til his 8th birthday, then I had each one of his Grandparents add their testimony and then at the baptism I had those that were there sign it and write a little note. It worked out beautifully. Then I also had a quilt made for him by my friend Amber Johnson. She put his name and baptism date on it. It was amazing. But just as always the most special thing that day was that when he was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints the most powerful spirit filled the room. You could fill that our Heavenly Father was very pleased that Stewart had chosen to be baptized. It was very sweet. But then the funny moment of the day was when Stewart was going into the water Jacob yells, "Stewart bend your knees!" You couldn't help but laugh. Then as Paige Browning (Jessica's sister) was giving her talk she asked who was going to follow the Holy Ghost and Jacob again yells, "I'm Not", he is such a character!
Jeff and Stewart Jefferson Rust
What a great opportunity it is to see your oldest son Baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The Spirit was so powerful, it was a moment to take in and remember.
Stewart and Jessica
These two cousins were able to be baptized in the same place, on the same day and time. It was really cool for these two to share their special day together. We are so proud of you Stewart and Jessica.

A Rare Trip to the Beautiful Hawaiian Island of Kauai
The Utah Jazz each year takes their sponsors (Jeff's company is a sponsor) on a trip, this year it was to Hawaii. This year was our first year going, my brother Jared and his wife have been the ones that have gone before. The Jazz know how to do a trip right. Amazing accommodations, great food, and really fun gifts. We were completely spoiled and had the time of our lives. So a big Thank You to the Jazz. Hope that we get to see them play this year...
Having A Ton of Fun!!!
