Jaden's 1st Lake Powell Trip

Jaden has now officially been to Lake Powell for the first time. Things we learned while we were there:

1. He LOVES the boat and usually falls asleep within 5 to 10 minutes
2. Loves the sand and water
3. Hates sleeping on an air mattress
4. Loves all the attention he gets from the extended family
5. Surprisingly likes his life jacket (the nice head support is nice for taking naps)

Camping with a baby is really hard, and I think at least until he gets a little older we will definitely be getting a hotel. Otherwise Jaden loves it and is now in the Lake Powell club! We will be returning again in the next few weeks for our second and last Lake Powell trip of 2011.

My dad wearing Jaden's hat haha very funny!

Happy Lake Powell baby!

Too much fun in the sun!

Davidson Family Reunion

A few weeks after we went to New York it was the Davidson family reunion (my mother in-law's side of the family) in Lava Hot Springs, Idaho. We had so much fun river rafting, going to the lava hot springs, and playing at the big water park. Here are a few pics from that adventure!

*How We Met*

Josh and I had both been up to BYU-Idaho for our first time in January 2007, but NEVER MET each other while we were there which was weird since you usually know everyone in such a small town like Rexburg. Anyways we both came home in July after our school year was over and got a job. This is where the magic started at a company called Magellan Health Services. It was a brand new company so we all had to go through training, and on our first day of training we had to go around the room and say are names and a little about ourselves. So I stood up first said my name and that I was going to school at BYU-Idaho and I was going back in January. It then came around to Josh's turn and he said his name and that he went to BYU-Idaho too and he was going back in January too. We looked at each other and it was from that point on we were inseparable.
