Really a well done wedding and a lot of fun. I quite enjoy learning new camera and editing tricks and trying them out. This was one of my best friends Eliza's cousin's wedding, so I loved spending the day with her and liz, you make an EXCELLENT assistant, just name your price :) just thought i'd share... eventhough you don't know them... they will remind you or inspire you to be awesome and in love.

Oh say, can you see...?
I contributed to save this firework show, and I am pleased. What's Independence Day without them? Jo mama was able to be with all of us Bowen clan for the evening, yahoo!
Watching as they build up....
To the GRAND FINALE (yeah baby):
Glory, Glory Hallelujah.
O'er the land of the FREE, and the home of the BRAVE.

Sunshine and Soft Serve
2 years of marriage for us Bowens, and 3 years for the Foulgers. It was so fun to meet up with our besties in LA and set sail for the land of salsa and very pushy sales people. We ate, and then ate some more. coming home and then going to girl's camp a week later was not good for my summer slimming. memories to remember were made.
We love you porta and meesh, and Mexy... you're not too bad either.

cruisin' & choosin': Girl's Camp
This year I had the privledge of being our ward's young women girl's camp director. :) awesome, no? It was just last week, monday through friday, and we had a blast. we had the privledge of going to Heber Valley Camp, which is incredible... cabins with bunk beds, pavilions, bathrooms, a challenge course (complete with zip line), volleyball tournament, canoing, hiking, skits, games, camfire meals (we ate GOOD), and lots and lots and lots of candy and treats. Heber valley is beautiful. The missionaries there call it the "temple on the mountain" especially because the animals seem to feel the peace and safety. We ran into badger, moose, tons of little four legged feasters and many deer (complete with a sneezing deer who interrupetd a devotional). Our little group was the smallest there, but that makes us extra close. With lots of help from the girls and amazing leaders, we made it a great week. Some highlites in pictorals: (thanks mostly to jen)
"sunset and turtles"
the girls
on skit night (above and below)
girls in canoes, leaders in paddle boats.. yes!!
family portraits on a rock by our cabin: :)
our camp theme was "cruisin and choosin" therefore we had many cruise themed activities. Our group name or "port of call" was "Angel's Landing" (like the hike in zion) amongst all our fun we learned a bunch and hopefully kept those halos shinin' bright.

weekend reunion with college roomies at lake tahoe
I don't know how many years it's been since we've all been together, but it was high time!
We loved the cache valley canyons and had fires so much... it was only normal to do one again!
love these people!
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.
