Jaden summer camp field trip

Jaden went on his first field trip with the summer camp program they have at Lifetime Fitness (the gym I work at). I seriously love my job! I get so many perks working there such as an amazing rate on sending Jaden to an ALL DAY field trip summer camp that they do every Wednesday. It is so horribly hot here in Arizona, and am grateful for programs like this for entertainment for Jaden. I just thought he looked so dang adorable in his shirt with his cute little lunch box awwww melt my heart!!

Lake Powell 4th of July Trip

Second trip back to Lake Powell for the 4th of July was a blast. We went with my family and met up with extended family and camped on the beach in our toy hauler trailer. We left late afternoon on Wednesday so that we could get a decent camping spot on the beach early Thursday morning. Such a fun relaxing time of just playing on the beach, going out on my parents boat, swimming, wake boarding and my personal favorite boat day trips!

Eli loves walking my mom's dog Macey, he feels like such a big boy doing it. Eli also behaved quit well on this trip (he got better sleep this time around), so I would say it was a good vacation just on his decent behavior alone haha!

Eli made friends with this little 18 month old named Ryker, they were so cute together playing trucks in the sand!

Jaden the little social butterfly that he is also made friends with this random little girl that was staying in the camp next to us. These two played for pretty much the whole day in that little hole, and just a blast together. That is one of the many things Jaden is good at is making friends instantly! Can't wait for our last trip to Powell in September!

*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.
