Jaden turns two

Buddies

We talked our friends into moving to Utah with us to start up a business. They moved in with us until they found a place to live and Jaden had a blast playing with their little boy.

They had to do everything alike.

Our friends, the Schaefers. Check out their awesome costumes.
These two boys would get sooooo dirty, numerous times a day. They would be covered in dirt, oil, or anything that you could possibly imagine. It was so fun to just let them play and be boys.

Goodbye Tucson, Hello Logan

Well we had a lot of fun while we were living in Tucson but it was time to say goodbye. After living there for a while we decided we were tired of seeing bugs like this one.

We also learned that we missed this green stuff called grass. So we moved to a house in Logan that has plenty of it. Jaden has to help out when Dave gets too tired.
We also missed the changes in seasons.
The one thing we will miss about Tucson is our friends. 

Paradise in AZ?

If you are looking for an amazing place to visit that doesn't cost too much, this is the place. One minor detail- it requires a 10 mile hike to get there. Or you can take the helicopter if you like. It is well worth the effort to visit here at least once in your lifetime. Please let me know if you are interested in going there. I would love to help you get there. It's amazing!!!

Yes that is me, don't be deceived though. The water isn't as warm as it may look. It does have the beautiful turquoise color though.
We took Jaden with us and at 10 1/2 months old he proved to be such a trooper. Mooney Falls

San Carlos, MX

So we learned that there is a benefit to living way down south and that is beautiful beaches.  We went with some friends on  a 6 hour drive to San Carlos, Mexico. It is beautiful there. One morning we had some dolphins come swim up next to us. 

We learned that the fun doesn't have to end when you have kids.... like everyone told us. We took Jaden out snorkeling with us. He loved it and even took his naps out on the water. 
This kid has been fearless since the day he was born. 

Jaden's 1st B-Day

My little boy turned one and had the coolest birthday party that he will probably ever get. Our good friends had these huge slides and let us borrow them for the party. We probably had around 50 people show up. It's too bad he won't even remember.

Krishelle's wedding

That's right. My little sis got married on one very, very hot summer day in St George. Mike is perfect for her and a great addition to our family.
