Jaden's 1st Birthday Party

Jaden's actual birthday is not till the 18th of this month, however, I wanted family to be there for his birthday party so we celebrated it early in Arizona. Well his 1st birthday party was a perfect success, and it's crazy that my little baby is almost 1 years old. It seems like yesterday I was just holding him in my arms for the first time and now he is almost a toddler. The last year has been the best year and hard at the same time but would not trade it for anything. I am so blessed to have such a little angel sent to me from my Father in Heaven and feel privileged to be his mommy.

Here is Jaden's birthday invitation..simple but cute!

This is Jaden waiting by the front door for everyone to show up to his party...people were late so he was getting discouraged hahaha

This is the whole set up including the delicious cake! I chose a doggy on the cake because that is currently Jaden's favorite animal. Hopefully once we settle into a house we can get him a puppy!

Jaden eating cake was probably what I was looking forward to the most! However, he doesn't really know the concept of eating on his own yet (this is my fault because I baby him and always feed him myself)so he really just smashed the cake around and threw it on the floor haha it was cute!

The Presents! Jaden got so many fun presents that will entertain him for a long time so thank you sooooooooo much to his grandparents and aunty Aubrey it is very much appreciated!

*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.
