A small taste of the Gustin Clan and our recent doings :)

The Gustin Family is QUITE the group. Let me try and explain. My mom and dad were both married before to other people--the marriages didn't work out...and then they met one another a few years later at a church dance of all places. My mom had a son (Kyle) from the previous marriage, and my dad had four kids (Monica, John, Amberli, and Cody) from his previous marriage. After my parents married each other they had my sister(Julie) and I. 20+ years later--there are 22 grand kids and endless memories. I forgot to mention the "kicker"--my parents are sixteen years apart. :) How's that for a shock? I love my family very much and wouldn't have it any other way. I am truly blessed. Here is a little spotlight for each family--as a sort of introduction to my "roots" :)

The "Borah Lion"(listed above): This is a great way to end this array of  beautiful pictures, if I must say so myself. This figurine has attended all Borah High Basketball Games since 1984 and is said to have brought good luck. Well, I took a picture of this because....moments prior to seeing the lion, I was thinking to myself.. "boy, I sure have seen a lot of ball games in my short nineteen years." (Today for example, and then three more tomorrow)..My niece Jessie told me about the "Borah Lion" and I decided that I hadn't seen as much basketball after all...maybe I'll catch up to him someday..Hopefully NOT :) and that's coming from a girl who loves the sport with all her heart.
