Saying Good Bye to Jaden for two years...

Saturday, August 15, 2009
Dear Max,
Today was a busy day! We got up bright and early this morning (6 am!), and along with your Auntie Andrea we headed up to St. George. We went up to St. George to spend our last bit of time with Jaden before he leaves for his mission to Portland, Oregon. We are so proud of him, but will miss him a ton while he is away. It's hard to believe that you will be almost 3 years old when he gets home. We had a fun and busy day planned!
As soon as we arrived in St. George we went swimming! You still love the water. We met Grammie, Grampie, Jaden, Auntie Julie, Janice Rogers, Richard Rogers, Teri Leavitt with Austin and Kamryn, and lot's of Jaden's cousins. It was a bunch of fun!

This is Auntie Julie's Daddy, and you two sure do have a special bond. You
are so lucky to be loved by such amazing people. Papa Roger's is another example of
your sweet spirit not only being a blessing for your daddy and I, but to so many people
around us. You and your sweet spirit give us all faith, that our Heavenly Father hears our prayers. We love you Max!

After swimming we all got cleaned up and went to the opening of Brick Oven Pizza. It was super yummy! We were able to meet Auntie Julie's "special" new friend and enjoy yummy pizza. As soon as we were done eating we were off to Auntie Emilie's bridal shower. Well, all the girls were off to the shower (since your still a little guy - you go with the girls!). We had so much fun laughing and celebrating Auntie Emilie and Brian's upcoming wedding.

After Auntie Emilie's wedding shower we headed back over to Auntie Julie's house to say our final good-bye's to Jaden. I am so proud of him and his decision to serve a mission. I'm grateful for his example to you and hope that you will some day serve a mission as well. I'm looking forward to supporting Jaden on his mission and hopefully you will have some memories along the way.


We love you Jaden!
See you in two years. We can't wait to take a
picture in two years and compare how the two of you have grown!
Lot's of love and Good Luck!!
