family in town

When they travel as far as Tokyo, (and Omaha) it's only worth it if you stay for a good while... still, it's never enough.



Way to go Lani... ya sistas couldn't be more proud to have another true aggie in the family.





Cam never walked, so Lani was kind enough to lend her outfit and dipoma for the good of the people... or just cam. Somehow, it made it feel legit. so, cheers to you to, my dear. Another true aggie in the family. (in the other sense of the word, I really did make him a real... true aggie. Not as cute of a story as you'd think)




my lil' dude, the beckster. He's my pal.





makes me swell with pride.

And, celebrating mother's day with BOTH moms was a rare treat. (all the 2 mother's days we have had together, but still, I know this won't happen often)





we put together a book for mom-jo this time with memories showing a characterisitc of her that us daughters hope to have when we are moms... mine was: as a little one (and still has a bigger one) my imagination was grandiose.. and one night, I SWORE I saw a UFO fly over our house, twinkling lights and all. I bolted downstairs and took my mom out side with me to search the sky. She not only let me have my fun, but seemed just as invested to look everywhere for it. Her response to my pages, was "Well, who was I to tell you that you hadn't seen a UFO? maybe you did." someone who encourages imagination :) I love my family, Bowens and Scoffields.

anniversary

We are headed on a celebratory CRUISE BABY in June.. 7 nights with our lovers Porter and Michelle (their anniversary is one year earlier, but within the same week) So that will be an awesome event. but here we have a Last min. decision to head up to the homestead resort in midway, UT for some celebrating country style. Of course eating fried chicken, steak, mashed potatoes, and fudge were just some of the yummy delights to fit in with our "down-home" theme. Most of our pictures didn't turn out too well because, well... self-timer set-ups never turn out as perfectly as you'd hope. We did our best:

the "honeymoon suite" with a complimentary bunny rabbit to enjoy whilst staying here.





We couldn't not go on a hunt. What can I say, it's in my blood. annnnd, sure, I'm pretty good at it. I've got the "eye"... cam ain't too bad himself. :)


25 golf balls later, it was getting too dark to stay much longer. It was no Beau Chene, but it did alright by us.




It's not hard for us to have a good time.

This past year has been some old and lots of new. Bought our first HOME, became official home-owners, when saturdays turn in to work days. Travelled to Japan, Thailand, California (tahoe x 2, monterey, san fran... thanks foulgers), washington D.C., Virginia, Omaha, and fun places around Utah... am I forgetting any? Had some big scares... mom, glad you're ok! and some new entries into the big fam.... welcome Beckham and Merika!! Threw limitations and fears aside and started a new, promising, exciting business. Loved being with family and friends. What a 2nd year! Can't sum it up all here, because I'm sure the 3 of you who read this would be bored. This year, my goal is to take more pictures. I've been lazy, and I regret it.

So, Cheers Love... you've been good to us.

2 years ago...

so..time is flyin' and here we are TWO years since we tied the knot. i LOVE our wedding pictures, almost as much as I love april 26, 2008. It's hard to pick just a few, so indulge me and enjoy the re-cap:

To make my mom smile...

As most of you know, our mom had a heart attack 2 weeks ago... all the way over in Japan. There were ups and downs, some serious complications and scares for a time, but things seem to be looking up. So this is a video "Get Well" card to our JoJo. Growing up our mom would wake us up by saying, "Up and adam, adam ant!" (from an old cartoon she watched growing up starring a super hero ant.... that was his take-off cry...) So now it is our turn to say it back to her, as she has been asleep for a week. Jeez, lazy :) We mixed together some favorite family tunes, for that old familiar good time. She finally got to watch it for the first time today... and had to stop half way through because she was laughing so hard it hurt her heart too much. I guess it did what we wanted... made her smile. Although, the pain was neither intended or preferred. So Daughters orders, Mom, Don't watch until your heart can take it.

So motha dearest, here is what happened... While You Were Sleeping:

Mr. Brad Paisley

Cam got me tickets for my birthday to Brad Paisley and Dierks Bentley. Absolutely Incredible. Teigan, sorry you couldn't be there, but Alaina and I did some poses and a dance for you, you can view it at the end. We were trying to get the whole crowd joined in... Alas, we were loaners. But they really put on a good show. Brad is a classy guy. An excellent birthday gift, thanks Cam!!

"Cowboys like us, sure do have fun..."

After being rained out last time we attempted this trip, we couldn't have asked for a better day the second try. Grandpa stopped us after about an hour into the journey to White Pine lake, and pointed out the view, "See, what man made you can see from a car. What God made, well, you can only see from horse-back."







amen, gramps.
