This weeks travels

I had A LOT of fun this week.  I got to do a lot of traveling.  I think I'm going to start posting my travel pictures once a week, and if I find any time between travels I'll post about what I have been up to.  So without further adieu:

The Wells Fargo Bank crew that has been helping us with the shirts

This is Diane Wilson, She took me Madrid Spain

This is the second time I got to run the Wasatch Back Ragnar race.  This time I did it with Janiel

I got to go to a couple of places with the Allen Family.  Here I am in Jamestown CA.

Here we are in Reno, NV

I went of the "Wild Hogs" ride with grandpa and his friends.  He I am in Vernal Utah

Here I am with the whole wild hogs crew in Carbondale Colorado

 Trek... A long hard re-enactment of the pioneers trek across the plains.  I was out here for several days with Shannon and Greg Boseman as well as their "family" for the trip.  Man that was hard... Poor pioneers

I got to hang out with my friends the Neslens.  Then we went home and build some Lego's. Awesome

I went to my first Museum, the Treehouse museum, with the Reid girls

Rock climbing in San Francisco with aunt and uncle Chad and Christy

And I hiked 10+ miles through the wind rivers in Wyoming with Kathy J

Thank you SOOOOOO MUCH to everyone that is thinking of me.  I am having so much fun seeing where I get to travel to.  I have already done so much more in this life that anyone thought was possible.

Now just a quick update on me.  I spent a couple of days in the hospital this week.  We don't go to the hospital very often because my house is pretty much set up like a hospital, and my mommy is the BESTEST nurse ever.  But this time I was feeling crummy enough that M&D thought we should go hang out there.  I have been having a lot of "seizures" lately, plus sometimes I randomly wake up in huge amounts of pain and nothing helps me feel better.  I spent 3 days in the hospital, had a lot of tests done, met with a lot of doctors, caught up on my sleep, and enjoyed the view from my bed.  Unfortunately none of the doctors really know what is going on.  My condition is rare enough that you run in to a lot of unknowns, and these issues apparently fall under that category.  Anyway, I am feeling better and I love being back home.  Thanks for everyone's concern.

Lastly, I want to introduce you to another angel baby friend of mine.  Her name is Presley.  She has a condition called SMA-RD, which similar to me, will take her from this world sooner than she should go. I know that she has angels all around her because I can see them helping her fight.  I haven't ever met Presley in person but she has an amazing story with some amazing parents.  Check out their story here

Let the travels begin…wahoo!

Service With My Friend

Most of my travels, as you will see, are just for fun.  Sometimes, though, I like to work hard and help those in need. It gives me warm fuzzies and helps me forget about the challenges that I face each day.  This past week, my friend, Brad Mitchell, took me along to do some service projects.  He wrote me a special letter afterward and I want to share it with you all!

Dear Jett:

I wanted to take a moment and write you a small letter to express my appreciation for the wonderful little boy that you are.  I wore you shirt today and I believe that I had an opportunity to get to know you by doing so.  After I pulled your shirt on I thought to myself, “what a great day to wear this for Jett, it will be a day full of service and doing good things for good people.”  I did not realize how much this decision would impact my life.  I feel that I got to know you today.  It seemed to me that you had an opportunity to live vicariously through me for the day and that we could do anything that you wanted.  Little did I know that you would keep me so busy.  We traveled from service project to service project.  I was amazed at how many people needed our help today.  We cleaned the church, moved the Rushforth family, fed the missionaries lunch, moved water totes for the Sherman family, picked up furniture and delivered it for the Rushforth family, found and caught up with an old friend that helped us move the furniture, and cooked and made dinner for the missionaries.  In all we stared about 8:30 this morning and finished at 8:30 this evening.  It was a fantastic day and I am very grateful that I had an opportunity to share it with you.  I believe that you have a heart overflowing with love for others, hands skilled for service, and legs that carry a burning desire to share it with everyone you meet.  I know this because I felt it all day long.  I felt it more that I ever have in my life.  And now I have a new favorite shirt with the name of my friend that I have never met, but one that I am grateful and proud to wear on my chest.  I have a shirt that I never want to take off because I had experiences sent from our Heavenly Father and I know, that if I keep wearing it, more will come.  I feel like I have a purpose with your shirt and that is to help you experience all the good life has to offer.  Today was service to others and I look forward to seeing what tomorrow has in store.  All this has taught me a great lesson.  I have learned today, that work and school (“life”) can wait while we tend the Lords vineyard and somehow it will be just fine.  Jett, I want to share with you my greatest appreciation and admiration.  I believe that you have touched more lives in a few months than many of us could in 10 lifetimes.  Thank you, my friend; for all that you have shared with me.  I look forward to greater tomorrows and a hopeful opportunity to meet you in person.  Till then, God speed, and Adieu.

Your Friend,

Brad Mitchell

My flight plan is stopping in unexpected places

Most people have probably heard of my new buddy Glenn Beck… he is a pretty big deal!!!  He hosts a radio talk show as well as a TV show.  Over the weekend he heard about my awesome T-shirt and he wanted one of his own.  You can see him talk about the shirt HERE

What an awesome friend!!!  We are all sooooo excited for Glenn and his staff to be sporting my shirt.  Who would have ever known that a cute little 10 pound hunk of sweetness (me, duh!) could catch the attention of someone like Glenn Beck.  

G'Day Mate!

I have been soooo busy lately.  My mommy and daddy have been moving all of our stuff to a new house in Omaha, Nebraska.  They have put me to work unpacking boxes and fixing up the place…I needed a break, so I went with my Aunt Tiffany to Brisbane, Australia. It was just a short jaunt across a couple oceans!  Isn't is so pretty?  It is winter down there right now so we had to bundle up.  It sure was a nice break from this hot Nebraska weather!  Thanks Aunt Tiffany…I will be your travel buddy anytime.

I have now been to Chicago!  The Bradys (Heather, Kevin, Liv, and Rowan) took me with them in a water taxi to see the Willis Tower…it was SO tall.  Thanks so much for taking me guys. You are the best!

I also got to go to Lagoon this weekend with my cousins Laural and Jason and B'elana and Deanna.  Thanks so much for taking me.  I really loved the views you gave me while I was on the ferris wheel.  You guys are GREAT!!!

Yesterday I got to go to my very first concert.  Jimmy Kimmel hosts a mini concert series in the summer, and Gavin Degraw was performing at it.  I got to go with 2 beautiful ladies, Laura Lambson and Mollie Salazar.

They also gave Gavin and Jimmy some of my t-shirts, which I thought was super awesome.  Word is that the stage manager personally gave the shirts to Gavin and he saw them and thought the were pretty cool.

Thanks sooooooo much for taking me with you Laura and Mollie.  I've now been to a concert and hung out with 2 awesome chikas… who would have ever thought!!!

Daddy stopped at the original Cabela's in Sidney Ne, to model my shirt with all the animals.  Thanks daddy.  I hope to go hunting some day and see them all myself.
