Jones family

January in a nut shell

2012-01-28T08:58:00.000-08:00

Bowling, we took the kids to a big bowling alley in Lehi they liked it but didnt love it. They like the one at trafalga because its smaller.

Trafalga,We usually just go and take the kids bowling and they love it. Tonight we obviously bowled but we took the kids to play laser tag too. The jackets were huge on them but they were in heaven they loved it. I love that Jen and Aaron are back its so nice to be able to hang out with them, love it!

Waiting to go in and play laser tag.

Kangaroo Zoo Ive been trying to be better lately and go out and do things on Jacksons night he has to stay at work. I have to say the kids are at a perfect age I can just sit and watch the kiddos get all of there energy out... Cash, Charley and Ashley joined us. Haus is loving his pumpkin shirt that I bought him for halloween. That is why he is always in it lately.

SNOW finally we got to play in it. I love snow and I think I enjoy almost as much as the kids. The funny thing was this praticular day Warren asked if he could go out before we walked to school. So I told him yes and off Haus and Warren went to play in it. I didnt really think it through because when I came out to tell them 5 more minutes they were both covered in snow. But I couldnt really blame them they were just excited to finally play in it!

Nixons bday party they rented a blow up slide and all the kids had a hay day.

BUddies Warren has the cuttest friends from school. Everytime I go pick him up I have at least one of them asking if they can come home with us. So at least three times a month I have Warren ask all of the boys in his class to come and play for a few hours. He only has 7 boys in his class so we usually have about all of them. Its fun they run around, eat lunch and I make them cookies. Its truely the only way I can get them all to hold still for longer then 5 seconds. I love it to because they always include Haus too!
Kaysen, Warren, Ryder, Carter, Cameron and Haus

Sticker ChartSo I use this chart to keep track of reading, writing etc... But I also keep track of them being good. Any time they do anything that stands out like saying please and thank you, sharing when not asked to, realy just simple acts of kindness they get a sticker. I told them Id buy toys and when they got 100 they each could pick out of the box. Well the day finally came and they were so excited Warren picked out a Spiderman science set and Haus picked out Army guys.

Elmo, were still loving him.

Friends,This is a picture from November of a few of us meeting and going to dinner
Shay, Hayley, Kamille, me and Kira. Cami and Angela came later. We missed Ashley she was out of town and Savannah was out with her family. I cant remeber where the others were at.

Cabin, I will post more picts of this weekend when I get the rest of the picts from Jocelyn. But we finally got to play in snow, sled, snowmobile, clay pigeon shooting, played games and ate yummy food.
Jocelyn and Lafe, Phil and Whitney, Darek and Hayley, me and Jackson, Stacey and Brett all the kids were playing upstairs or were asleep.

Tucanos, We took the kids there and they loved it. There such meat boys so we should of realized they would be in heaven.

RODEO

2012-01-28T08:48:00.000-08:00

Warren has been asking when he gets to ride a sheep again. Spanish Fork has a kid rodeo once a month so we put Warren in and he was stoked. He did awesome he got a 75!!! He stayed on the whole time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This rodeo was the third Saturday in January.

New Years Eve

2012-01-28T08:23:00.000-08:00

Lafe and Jocelyn always have a way fun New Years party. Its nice because there is usually lots of kids so they just play away. Jocelyn always has fun games for the adults to play too.

2012-01-28T08:15:00.000-08:00

Christmas Break
I enjoyed the weather. We went hiking everyday on the break. Jackson takes Doc to the foot hills and for the most part from November to about March I dont attend that ritual. But it was so nice that a few of the times I would end up taking my sweat shirt off and just be in a t-shirt. Took the kids to the park a few times. Then we went on a few bike rides too!!

2012-01-21T13:11:00.000-08:00

Christmas morning

My kids got up at there usual time about 730. We had told them they couldnt go out with out us so they came in our room and seriously waited, only for a second. They were so fun as soon as we walked out in the living room they started jumping up and down, saying he came he came. Warren had asked for a water back pack, camoflauge everything boots, coats etc.. and hunting set. Haus asked for a water back pack, camo everything and a cowboy set. Well they must have been good because they got all of that plus head lamps, hot potato game, play dough sets, sub zero camo boots ( thats what Warren calls them) and few outfits each my kids were in major need of church clothes and shoes.
Jackson spoiled me as usual. We had said we were doing nothing for each other because we just had went to vegas and shopped a little to much. Anyways Jackson had done the 12 days of Christmas to me. Everyday I received a card with a rhyme in it with a present everyday. One of the days I got a gift card to a pedicure, roses, a few packs of my favorite gum, rented my favorite Chrismas movies etc.... I have the most amazing husband ever!!!!! Then to top it off he bought me a MAC computer for Christmas day. I felt like a piece of poop because I stuck to the deal but all I have to say is Im one lucky girl to have him.

I love my cute boys they colored and painted this box for me for Christmas, I love it. They were jumping up and down while I was opening it. It was one of the first things under the tree, too cute.

Grandma and Grandpa Jones came over right after we got home from church. They got to witness the kids opening up the rest of the presents. The kids were happy to get there clothes from them.

Our family received this darling package on Christmas morning from our amazing birth mother and her family. This MARCH we are getting a little GIRL!!!!! The boys were so cute anyone who would come to the house they would run over to the tree and grab this first and tell everyone how they are getting a baby sister!!! Were way way excited!!!!

My mom and James bought the kids the cutest toys. They are jeeps and elephants that come with little people and animals, way fun disney game. The kids love them.

Christmas Eve

2011-12-26T17:48:00.001-08:00

Christmas Eve Night

We had all of Jacksons family and my parents come over for a yummy ham dinner. All of the cousins exchanged presents which was a first for the Jones's and Im so glad we did because it so fun for the kids. I thought it would be fun to make homeade ornaments. We tested it out the Monday before for FHE. The kids loved it and they turned out way cute, both nights. Its become a tradition with my parents and us to watch the GRINCH and then open one present. My kids got there jammies and they were so excited for bed they were having a hard time holding still to get there jammies on. Both of the kids got reindeer food from there school so we set that out on the front porch. The boys insisted on going to bed and told us they didnt want a story, scripture or prayer they wanted to hurry and fall asleep so Santa could come. We still did all the bed night routine and they were so excited they didnt fall asleep until after 930.

Bezzantt Christmas Eve Party

My stepdads family is huge and I love it. They have always been so great and welcoming with us. We dont always make it to this party because we have a Christmas Eve party at our house. This year they had it at noon so it worked out perfectly!

Cousin Christmas Party

2011-12-23T19:42:00.001-08:00

My mom and James always have a yummy dinner. This year they had sub sandwiches and salads. We had it on the 23rd of December. I look forward to this party so much because I think its so fun for the kids. Each kid has one of there cousins names and then they get them a present. We had Adley and Tyra!

Mandy had a really fun game for the kids to play with a present. It was like musical chairs but with a present. All of the kids really got into it.One of the presents had a reindeer nose and crackers in it. The rest of the night the kids had a blast playing with the nose.

Lighting of the PG lights

I have always wanted to go to this and Im glad we did. Our great friends walked down with us. We thought we better take advantage of the nice winter weather. They handed out candy canes and we watched as they turned on the lights to the big Christmas tree in the park, Santa came. Afterwards we went to Sammys for some dinner and yummy shakes.

The Mealey's

Decorating grandma & grandpa's tree

Every year we go to my moms the Sunday after Thanksgiving and decorate there tree. I love love this tradition. The kids love it but Im pretty sure me and my siblings love it probably the most.

Riverwoods Santa

We took the kids to see Santa the day after Thanksgiving at Riverwoods in Provo. My kids refer to this Santa as the "REAL ONE". I love this place its decorated to the hilt and they have so many fun things to add to the spirit of Christmas.

Temple Square

Sunday we took the kids to Temple Square, luckily it wasnt to cold it was cold just not unbearable. The kids were loving seeing all of the lights. The night was great until I locked the keys in the trunk and times like this remind me how calm my husband is. It took him about a half hour to an hour to get them out. He never got upset!! Ugly Sweater party

Last night we went to an ugly sweater party. Jackson got a little into it and talked me into cutting his hair into a mullet and putting steps in it. He loves it, Im a little worried he is going to keep it! The party was way fun there was lots of fun people there and we played games and had a fun night out.

Twilight Party

Seriously one of the greattest parties I've ever been invited to. One of my greattest friends Natalie threw this party and she put so much work into it. She had amazing decorations from name tags, candles, beautiful flowers,wedding cake, wedding video( with all of us in it), treat bag for each of us for the movie, yummy food, amazing friends!!

Playing in the snow, one of the only ones we have had this winter.
My mom took this picture of Haus. She said he hung out like this for quite a while.
Warrens friends from school. They are the cuttest little kids, lately about once a week I have 4 extra 6 year olds at my house. I have to say there all darling and pretty good. This is Kayson, Ryder and Warren
The Petersons gingerbread contest

It was way fun to just hang out with everyone. We went out to Stansbury Park and I have to say we need to do it more often. It was tons of fun!

Yearly PIE MAKING at my moms
We always meet at my moms the night before Thanksgiving and make pies. This year I had my kiddos for the first little bit and they loved this fun tradition.

Elf on the SHELF

This little elf came to us on Thanksgiving morning and brought the kids each two cute ornaments. Every night he changes locations in the house. Sadly sometimes are stays in the same place. So the kids will tell people when they come over that he sometimes likes a place in the house so when he comes back from hanging out with Santat at night he goes to the same place. OK I know me and Jacksons arent so hot at this. The kids still love every second of it and get so excited to find him in the morning. Oh ya they named him HUNTER ELF!

Build a Bear

Camryn and Kate had there 5 bday party here. Each kid got to pick out a stuffed animal, played games and when it was over each kid got to have there own house box. My kids still have there boxes in there beds with them and every night they add them in there prayers. It was a darling party and all of the kids had way fun, Thanks again Eric and Meg

Thanksgiving

We had it at our house this year and it was a hit. We played games, made gingerbread houses, had yummy food!!

Happy 30th Birthday Jackson

We have always talked about going to the NFR in Vegas but its a pain with Jacksons work (UPS) this time of year. But we thought for Jacksons 30 birthday and that Jacksons go the tickets form the rodeo committe we thought the time was right. I went back and forth about taking the kids. I knew they would love it too. After lots of thought we left them with my parents and Jacksons parents. Im pretty sure they didnt even care. My mom took them to fun places and they got to go to a fun Christmas party and see Santa with most of there cousins.

While we were there we shopped, ate yummy food, went to the Vegas Temple, meet up with some of the greattest friends, NFR!! I have to say this is going to be a tradition it was awesome!

The boys got Jacksons a griddle and a pancake flipper (Haus's words)

. Warren had Polar Express Days while we were gone. These are the jammies he picked out for it
My mom took the kids to a Christmas party and they got to see Santa

Haus's Christmas Program

I love Kids Village and when they put on amazing programs like this it just reminds me how great of a place it is. The kids got to make snowman cocoa, ate amazing food, watched Haus sing with all of his besttest buddies, received a darling Christmas present from Haus of his hand, sat on Santas lap.

Haus's best buddy, I loved this picture of these two!

2011-12-11T13:41:00.000-08:00

Im the room mom for Warrens class and we made these cute turkey hats for there Thanksgiving party. We put up all of the decorations the weekend before Thanksgiving.

Jump On It
A few weeks ago I was watching Ashleys kids and we decided to go to Jump On It. Katie met us there with Nixon. I have to say Monday around 4 is a great time to go it was way empty and they have a new foam pit in the little kid area to play in.

Haus's preschool had a parent day. Where we got to go watch them in action. They talked about shapes and counting. Then we had cookies! I love them in there cute little aprons.

2011-12-11T13:37:00.000-08:00

Haus and Maddix

I took these two up to the mall in Sandy. As soon as these two spotted this there was no saying no.

2011-11-12T11:12:00.000-08:00

Game Day

Warren got tons of fun games for his birthday. I thought it would be fun to make cookies and play a few of his games today. I love Saturday morning when we have no where to go. We ended up playing 4 games total a few of them more then once. So all and all it was a hit!

Feeding the PIGS

My brother has a little farm thats up the street from us. My kids think that feeding the pigs is the funnest thing ever. Seriously we took them left over corn one day after I froze some and since then my kids prowl the house to see what they can take up. When Jackson told them they could take there old pumpkins up they were stoked.

Raking/Playing in the leaves

I always told jackson I would never live in a house with out big trees. I have to say I love every second of them in the spring and summer but the fall I have to question my decision. Other than when the kids are out there playing in the leaves it makes it all worth it! We raked a few diffrent piles and the boys called them there tents. All week they have played in them. So they werent very happy when we put them in the back of the truck and took the green waste place.

Haus's Halloween Program

Kids Village puts on the cutest little programs for the parents. This one was all Halloween songs with cute little actions. We never really seen Haus do any of the actions but the teachers were great at it. Haus goes with his best bud Maddix and I love the pict we got of the tow of them. Oh ya Jacksons parents came to watch too.

Happy 6th Birthday Warren

We seen this exhibit in April or May about reptile bday parties since then thats what Warren wanted for his party. Well after calling three diffrent companies we found this guy and he was AWESOME!! He brought turtles, lizards, triantulas, big and little snakes. Then he would talk about each and everyone of them. We did the party the Friday after Warrens real bday because that was the only time the guy had open. Warren and Cash had a huge turn out got lots of fun presents and Warren has not stopped talking about his party.

Murder Mystery Party

My friends Angela and Kamille hosted a murder mystery party. So we all got assigned a character and what we were supposed to dress up as. I had to be a mummy and Jackson a green swamp man. It was way fun especially when everyone got into it. We had to even do a dance part and I have to say that was my favorite part. Jackson and I had to act out a rain dance well any of you guys who know my amazing dancing skills know that it was pretty eventful to watch that. This will have to be something we do again.

Halloween Night

We started off the night going to a few of our neighbors house. It was so cute to watch the boys go up to the door. Warren was loving it and Haus loved it but didnt understand why everyone kept giving him hand fulls of candy but he wasnt going to argue. Then we walked up to my friends block and let the kids walk around to there houses. The ward truck or treat started at 6 so we took the kids there. Then it was off to visit all of the grandparents house's. My camera died so we only got a picture at my moms and James house. But we visited Grandma and Grandpa Jones and Grandma and Grandpa Pinegar too.

Warrens school party

Its crazy when your kids start doing the same activities at school as you remeber doing. On Halloween Warren had a costume parade. Which consists of all the parents in the gym taking pictures of the kids as the walk through it. I have to say as a mother of one of the kids I LOVED IT. Then he had his class party that I was in charge of we played bingo, pin the face on the pumpkin, story time, make a frankenstein, and color your pumpkin. All and all I think the kids liked it so it was a success.
This is the only picture I got of him in the parade.
Traditions

We started a tradition three years ago that the Sunday before Halloween we have the Christensons come over and eat yummy Hallween food and carve pumpkins. This year Haus wanted a horse on his pumpkin and Warren wanted a snake mouth and snake eyes. Luckily me and Jacksons carving skills payed off. Other than Im getting a little worried soon they wont. Natalie and Jeron are pretty creative so there pumpkins always look awesome.

Halloween party with the cousins at Grandma and Grandpa. The Friday before my mom has a tradition to have all the cousins over and carve pumpkins, eat pizza and watch movies. My kids love this fun tradition. Other than Haus came home and all he wanted to do was stab ALL of the pumpkins with his carving knife.
The boys have been bringing the cuttest projects home lately. Haus brought the bat home and Warren brought the wich bag home.

Reading books at Grandma B's
Aquarium

I love how my boys never get bored of this place. We have had a pass for three years and they still get so excited to go. We got to see the Penguins getting feed which was a new experience for me and was pretty cool to watch.

Playing with Aunt Brenda

Cornbellys

The Friday night of fall break we went to Cornbellys with some of our friends. It was way fun other than I hate how its always so windy out there. Luckily kids never noticed and they had tons of fun. They love getting there face painted so this was a for sure must.

HEE HAWS

While Warren had fall break we went hear and played with Nixon

Roasting Marshmellows and putting them in Oreo's

We thought it would be fun to have each of the kids pick out there cookie to go with there smore. Well we ended up having pink oreo's and green oreo's. Then we went up to the Anderson park in PG and let the dog run around, kids made smores and threw everything and anything in the irrigation ditch. The best part of it was the kids keep asking when were going back there. Im sure youll see more picts in the future.

HEE HAWS Fieldtrip

Warren had his first fieldtrip. I got to go and help with 5 of the kids. It was fun to watch Warren play with all of the kids in his class. We went on a hay ride, picked out pumpkins, went down a huge slide, played in sand and corn, feed the animals, went through a corn maze. It was fun and exhausting and Im way glad I got to go with him.

Warrens Soccer Team

We had the last game a few weeks ago and it was really fun to watch them get so much better every game. Jackson really liked coaching this team and they were all really cute and pretty sure had lots of fun. The team name was GREEN GATORS

Kid Halloween Party

This is the fourth year having the party and I have to say this was the best one yet. The kids really got into all of the games. Thanks again for everyone helping out with the food and games.

Picking out our PUMPKINS

This was one of my favorite traditions as a kid. My mom would always talk about how fun it would be to own a HUGE pumpkin patch. Well my sister n law and brother n law Kely and Tyler have a HUGE pumpkin patch, well his family does so its pretty much theres to. They decided to sale them at there house so we went down and picked out our pumpkins. Warren picked out a big one and Haus picked out lots of baby size ones.

Itty Bitty Ball

I signed Haus up for this class at AF and he goes and likes it at first and then after about 30 min he just wants to run around and play. He is in the class with his friend Maddix Mealey and Kruz Lynch.

Haus and his friends Maddix and Kruz

I think this is so fun to watch him play with his friends. Maddix and him go to preschool together. Everytime I pick them up they always want to stay at each others house. The best part of it the play so well together. They are both calm tempered and laid back so they have never faught. Then Kruz man is Kiras oldest and so he is in itty bitty ball with Haus and sometimes they come over to play too. He has the same laid back personality too so its great!

Disneyland and the beach

2011-10-06T09:08:00.000-07:00

YEs we went again and we could go back tomorrow we LOVE this place. I feel like my boys are at the BEST age because Haus and Warren can ride everything and we just go go go and when they seen the characters there mouths still drop open because they believe its REALLY them.

I think my boys could stay in this bear place a whole day they love it!

Getting ready to ride Star Tours for the first time its been closed for ever. Haus's face was to funny we didnt know if he liked it or hated it because his eyes were HUGE and his face looked like he was in shock. But he liked it we rode it a few more times.

Jackson had to take a picture of this because he thought it was funny how they surrounded around us in a second flat.

The boys on there all time favorite ride, Toy Story Mania.

This is proof I was the only one LOVING this ride!

I love Haus's face in this he couldnt stop looking at the lego Woody.

Ashley and her family met up with us the third day we were there and so that night we decided to take the kids to the beach. Im not a huge fan of California beaches because there freezing cold. But you would not of been able to tell that from watching the boys they were in heaven! Warren was so excited Cash was there when we told him he was at the hotel. He Said" Mom I bet he is waiting for me because Im his best friend and thats what best friends do" It was so cute.

Charley, Haus Cash and Warren at Disneyland

I love these two!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haus's new trick

2011-10-06T09:01:00.000-07:00

There is this park at the place Warren plays soccer. Usually while Warren is playing Haus and Papa James playing at the park. Well one of the times we got there early Warren and Haus were playing on the playground on Warren asked Jackson to help him to do this fire pole. If you knew my kids Warren is the more daring one and Haus is more questionable about things. Well before Jackson could get over there Haus said I know how to do it and jumped on it. I thought my stomach was going to come out of my head and Jackson almost tripped because he and I thought Haus was going to fall off. I guess what we didnt know is Papa James has been teaching him how to do this and he was so excited to keep doing especially after he got the reaction out of all of us that he did.

Little Gym

2011-10-06T08:57:00.000-07:00

We have the boys in a sport gym class at little gym just the month of September and its so cute they LOVE it. Im still debating to keep them in it. But I love how fun they have.

Haus and his new bike

2011-10-06T08:55:00.000-07:00

This is not a new helmet he just insists on keeping the thing on his helmet. We got him a new bike to see if we could just do no training wheels with him. Nope he was not into it but he loves his new bike.

NO training wheels, GO WARREN

2011-10-06T08:49:00.000-07:00

Warren is so my child if he gets something in his head he does it and wont stop until he gets it done. Well the other day when we were walking to school he asked if he could ride his bike to school and I told him he could but he should learn to ride with out training wheels. So as soon as he got home he asked if he could take them off and go over to the church parking lot. With in a few minutes he had it down. The same day I went to Walmart and picked Haus up a bike too because usually he will do anything his brother is doing. Well he had Jackson take the training wheels off but he has no desire to get on it he just likes to walk with it.

Happy 29th BDAY to me

2011-10-06T08:39:00.000-07:00

I turned 29 on the 14 th of September. My last year in my 20's WOW Im getting old! The Sunday before we had dinner at my moms and celebrated me and my sisters bdays. Then on my bday we went to dinner with my parents. I have to say I had a great week I have a great husband and kids that make sure I have a great day and I have amazing friends that wished me happy bday all day!

Irrigation

Happy 8th Anniversary to Me and Jackson

We went up to the Zermant in Midway and it was beautiful. We shopped at the Park City outlets, took a carriage ride in Midway, fell more in love with Wallsburg and we did lots of laying out and swimming

Warren finding out who his teacher is. Miss Nichola's

Fishing

One night we went up to Tibblefork to fish. We didnt catch anything but the boys had a blast getting covered in mud and playing with the fish food.

I love how these guys have bunkbeds but they still sleep with one another. I love there cute bond they have.

Kiwanna's/Battlecreek Falls

On Labor Day we hiked up to the waterfalls. Warren calls this hike the "Pleasant Grove Falls"

Preschool

Haus started preschool at Kids Village on August 23 2011. He was so excited until he went he went three times in Miss Raya's class and know he is in Miss. Jessie's class he loves it when he gets there but he is having a really hard time going. I think its because I dont really leave him ever. So I think were going to hold him back so he isnt the youngest in his class. So he will have three years of preschool but as of know we dont know for sure. He is really smart he can count and he knows all of his colors and to sing his abc's we just dont want him the youngest especially because he is a boy. But on thursday he went into Miss Jessie's class with the 2 1/2 to 3 year old class so he is know the oldest and were going to see if thats better. He LOVES Miss Jessie and she is darling and cheesey but were going to see how this week goes. If not will just start next year. So far he has loved his painting class and his music class though. He is in class with his buddies Cohen Vohs and Maddix Mealey.

KinDerGartEn

Warren started school this week on August 30th at Central school he goes in the morning and he loves it. His teacher is right out of school so will see how it goes. He is way excited to have his friends that are from our ward in his class to Emmie Griffin and Cameron Merryweather. Seriously the last few weeks he has been counting down the days. The week before they test all of the kids going into kindergarten and he was tested by Mrs. Rigby and he did AMAZING!! She said he answered mathematical questions that kids havent even got right yet. So yes I was so proud. The questions they asked are the same ones they ask at the end of the year. So pretty much Warren is smart and Im bragging because I want him to read this and know how proud of him we were. Then on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon he got into a KE program at Learning Dynamics. Its a program for kids who attend public school but can come to this twice a week and get a private school Kindergarten education on a fast track. They have to already know how to read. All I have to say is its amazing. Warren brought home three books on Thursday and every time they go they get 15 min with the teacher of private reading time. I was worried it would be a little to much for Warren but as of know he LOVES it too. Oh ya not that my kids will be shocked when they read this when they're older but I balled my eyes out when I dropped you off. The night before when I found out you went in the morning and not in the afternoon. I called the receptionist at the school and tryed to switch you so I would have a kid home with me at all times. Because Haus is going twice a week to preschool. Obviously I lost the battle she told me that I would be fine. But

I love this picture of him he was so excited!!

Finding his cubby for the first time. His teacher Miss Nicolas

This was the first time he acted nervous. I had given him a little piece of cotton to put in his pocket and he was rubbig it like no other.

Boating

We went up to Deer Creek and went boating with Jamie and Cam Davis. It was an awesome night the water was so calm and a great temp. Well after Jackson wakeboarded I kind of joked with Jackson and said that I was going to go not really thinking he would say ya ( im not supposed to wakeboard or really do anything that could make my neck pop in any way because my artery could re disect) so when he said ya. I jumped on it. What my neurologist doesnt wont hurt him. I have to say I havent wakeboarded for three years and I did awesome I went back and forth through the wake and kept changing my right and legs in front. Okay it might not sound awesome but it was to me. Obviously no comperison to Jamie who wakeboarded for ever and her hair didnt even get wet. Or Jackson and Cam who kept jumping the whole wake. But non the less it was a way fun trip and the kids all had fun on the tube too.

Island Park, Idaho August 4-7
Jones family went to Island Park and it was so relaxing. On the way up we stopped at Bear World and I recommend it to everyone it was cool. We had a bear rub his nose on my window. The kids all were in heaven it was by far my favorite part of the trip. We went into Yellowstone and didnt really see any cool animals because I think Bear World spoiled us but we all went to Old Faithful which is always cool to see. Friday night we went fishing and the water was like luke warm it was weird. I was in ahhh the whole time because it was so beautiful we were there when the sun went down and it was truely breath taking. Saturday we went tubing down the river and it was fun to go down and laugh and talk with everyone, Jacksons family is so fun. I was being smart and trying not to put my but to far in the tube because it was cold. So Brian and Cody kept joking with me if I didnt get in the tube right they were going to come throw me in. The kids had fun at the end of the river catching or trying to catch baby fish. Later that night we went to the Big Springs and it was awesome its were the water comes out of the ground and makes the river. The water was so clean looking I guess enough that Jacksons and the kids had to take a sip. Will see if they have the poops all week. The place had a cute cabin on it thats a historical site and then all the kids feed the birds and ducks. Then me and Jackson went into West Yellowstone and they were having a rendevoue. My boys loved it they were loving all of the cowboys, mountain men and Indians. Oh ya we tried to go on a four wheel ride at nights I didnt go everytime but that was way fun too. Then on Sunday we had a sacrament and then headed home.

Rendezvoue

Tubing down the river

So its Idaho law that you have to have a life jacket with you. We had enough little ones for the kids but not enough big ones for the adults.

We had dinner and picts on Sunday and everyone came over because Marva and Nate came down from North Dakota. While they were here Porter got ordained a deacon.

I had my TEN year reunion on July 29. It was fun to hang out with my friends and there husbands. Afterward we went and got icecream.

BBQ for Ashley and Kiras BDAY
All of my friends came over to celebrate Kira and Ashleys bday. It was fun its always fun I love hanging out with these guys we have all been friends since 7th grade so were pretty much family.

Cooking Class

Katy Perry

A few of us went to Katy Perry and I have to say I didnt know all of her music but she put on an AMAZING show. It was by far the BEST concert I have ever been to. Im pretty sure she went threw 30 outfits, sprayed whip cream at audience, had tons of wigs, had huge beach balls in the audience and had amazing people to hang out with= Awesome concert.

It was Ashley's 28th bday to so it was fun to celebrate that too. We went to the DODO in Sugar house before.

Cami and James

Cory and Ashley

WOW the outfits were entertaining

Hayley and Darek

Seven Peaks

This is some of the picts of a few days at Seven Peaks. I love this place and we havent used it until the last few weeks but boy we have been going alot lately. All of the kids have tons of fun. Except one of the days Haus decided to pull his pants down at the wave pool and pee it was funny but I was pretty emberrased.

Making Cookies

Everytime I make cookies my kids insist on eating the batter of the beaters.

Yard Work

We have been doing lots and lots of stuff to are yard we have put in a huge patio in back with a awning and pretty big flower beds around it. Then not shocking to anyone who knows me but we planted a few more trees too.

Splash Pad at the Riverwoods

Scouting for deer with Papa Jones

Family Home Evening with the Jones

I am pretty sure I have the best of the best in laws EVER! It was our turn to have family home evening at our house. I love getting together with all of them and even though Im a in law I never feel like Im not part of the family and they always include us in everything. Im pretty sure they are the most laid back non confrontational family I have ever met and Im glad I married into them.

Scofield Cabin July 15-17

We went with the Blackhursts, Lynchs and Petersons to a cabin in Scofield and it was beautiful!Shay and Aaron brought there boat and so one of the days we went boating and it was way fun. I grew up boating and everytime I get on a boat I want to go buy one because its so fun. The kids were funny everytime we would stop the boat the kids would hurry and lean over the boat to dip there hands in it. Jackson did awesome at surfing! We had a picnic at the doc and then all of the men fished for a while.

Then later that evening everyone went on a fourwheel ride. I think Scofield is one of the prettiest places in Utah.

Im pretty sure everyone had so much fun we ate lots, laughed tons ( Aaron had some way funny stories) ate more and laughed. The kids all had to much fun with each other. I have to say there wasnt even one fight between the kids they all just ran around like loons. My boys loved playing with all of them!

Haus, Kruz, Scout,Bridger, Warren and Bronco

It was cold to say the least.

These three had so much fun together

Aaron had a minor truck problem but luckily we got it fixed on the way up. His mechanic at his company didnt tighten something so it ended bad but fixable.

Swimming

Katie's gradparents have a pool so we have had tons of fun hainging out there while the kids play.

Me, Katie and Cami

Science Projects

Warren is at a really fun age because he loves anything to do with learning. I bought this lab kit and Warren couldnt get it open fast enough. Haus takes about a 3 hr nap every day so this summer its given me and Warren some great one on one time.

Playing with uncle Cody

2011-07-21T22:06:00.000-07:00

I think my boys are pretty lucky when it comes to there aunts and uncles. Especially uncle Cody in a boys eyes. On the 4th he kept pooping out a golf ball but the kids had to first bonk him on the head and then he would proceed to wiggle and jump until it fell out. So on Max's bday my kids kept telling him to do that amazing trick again and Uncle Cody did not disappoint.

Your date with Grandma

2011-07-21T22:02:00.000-07:00

My mom takes all of the kids where ever they want for there bdays to pick out there present. My mom had a present in mind but Haus had every other toy in the store in mind. At one point the WHOLE cart was full of every truck and tractor that made any form of noise. After sometime he picked out a tractor with a trailor, horses, little truck and a basketball outfit.

Haus's 3 year old stats

2011-07-21T21:58:00.000-07:00

So Haus loves the nurses but not so much Dr. Glade. Which is so funny because Warren talks Dr.Glades ear off when he comes in. Haus was loving the nurse telling her all these stories and as soon as the doc walked in he would freak if I put him down.

The annual July 4th BBQ

2011-07-21T21:44:00.001-07:00

I love July 4th because we have such a fun time. This year I was all excited to buy fireworks especially because of the new ones you could buy. Well I thought I bought the amazing ones that go up in the air. So during the whole bbq I kept telling everyone we should just light them. But everyone made me wait until dark. The best part is I kept telling Aunt Brenda how cool the lady told me the ones I bought were. Lets just say it was no diffrent then any other year other than the price and were lucky for the annual city ones and all of the neighbors cool BIG ones.

We put are water slide up and the kids had a blast with that. We ate yummy food and had lots of fun!!

Lighting fireworks at my parents waiting for the PG fireworks.

Brenda and Haus were the best of buddies that day. She had all the kids pretending they were on a ship.

Color Me Mine, Splash Pad and lunch with DADDY

2011-07-21T21:32:00.001-07:00

Last week we meet Jackson down at Color Me Mine so Warren could make another piggy bank. Well after a good 15 min of picking out what he wanted he picked at frog bank and Haus picked out a dragon. Warrens last piggy bank fell off the shelf and we told him after they got 100 stickers on there chart they could go down and make one. Well we ended up making a fun day out of it. The kids colored there pottery then I had no idea the Riverwoods had a splash pad but we found out. So the kids ran around that for ever. Then we heard that the pizza place there is really yummy so we thought we would try it out and it was quite tasty!! It was nice day the kids came home exhausted and took good naps!

Steel Days float

2011-07-21T21:29:00.000-07:00

We are on the board for the adoption agency and we are the ones who help with all of the activites, so that put us over making a float for the parade. I got in my head to do balloon arches to spruce up the trailor. After 300 hundred balloons and 5 hours of tying and blowing up balloons it turned out GREAT! The kids had a blast and we had lots of turn out.

Camping at Strawberry over the 4th July weekend

2011-07-21T21:20:00.000-07:00

K, so I suck at using my phone so I have no idea how to make these picts bigger. But I only had my phone while we were at Strawberry so this is my only proof of the weekend. Well it started out great we left Friday morning and found a spot on the side of the road. The kids had a blast playing in EVERY mud puddle they found. Warren would cover his face in mud and fake like he was Bear Grill off the TV show. They loved roasting there own hot dogs they didnt really eat them but the roasted a whole pack full. We did lots of hiking, mtn biking and relaxing. Jackson even made each of the boys there own bow that was made out of rope and sticks. The only down fall of the trip is someone stole Haus cowboy boots and are truck broke down as soon as we pulled into PG. But hey at least we made it almost home.

Pictures off my phone

2011-07-21T21:07:00.000-07:00

So this is such a random post but Jackson got me a new phone and her is just truely random picts of us through out the days.

Warren and Haus love watching the parade go by are house in the mornings.

After one of the rain storms we went out and played in all of the puddles.

Breakfeast with the Jones's

2011-07-21T20:59:00.001-07:00

We went down to Codi and Brians for breakfeast on the 4th. Luckily for my sake they didnt do it at the butt crack of dawn like usual they did it at 8 ( yes still early in my book) but least it wasnt at 7AM. So we made it there not at 8 but by 9!! We couldnt pass up Craigs yummy breakfeast and Warren and Haus didnt want to miss playing with there cousins.

Susan, Me, Kelli and Codi

2011-07-18T15:35:00.001-07:00

We are on the adoption board for LDS services and we are the ones that are over the activites and so we had to do a float or something for the Steel Days parade. So I thought it would be fun and way cute to do balloon arches on the flat bed trailor. Well after 400 ballons, 5 hours of tying and

Haus's 3rd BDAY we had a CARS theme

2011-07-14T19:05:00.000-07:00

Haus is way into cars, trucks, tractors really anything with wheels. So I thought it would be fun to do a Cars theme, especailly because the 2nd Cars movie was coming out ON his bday. We had a friend party in the morning where we had a pinata, cars themed food, and had each kid there very own car and had a race and everyone received a medal. It turned out way fun and Im always so happy how many come and support us. Then that night we had all of our families over for dounghnuts and ice cream.

Fathers Day

I love Fathers Day because I love celebrating my amazing husband who is an amazing dad. I love my step dad and how he loves us so unconditionaly. My father n law how he is always so willing to help and give to people with out every complaining. They all are such great examples to me and Im so grateful for them in my life.

Warren playing with his IV doll he got from primary childrens.

RODEO

2011-07-03T11:57:00.001-07:00

This year Haus decided he wanted to ride a sheep and let me tell ya he was so excited. For weeks before he would tell us how he was going to hold on and Warren was going to fall off and cry. Well the night of he couldnt get his vest and helmet on fast enough. One of Jacksons job at the rodeo is to help the kids on the sheep he put Haus on before they started. Haus was loving it until the sheep rolled and Haus fell off and hit his head. So low and behold Haus never ended up riding sheep at the rodeo. But Warren did great other than he got a crappy sheep who went out a step then went back in the shute. They said he could have another ride but Warren thought he did awesome so that was that for the riding sheep. Lots of there buddies rode and Tyra there cousin rode too.
The same night Jackson and his friends James Fontaine an Darek Giles did the wild cow milking they got milk in the jug but they were the 4th. But better luck next year. I love how most of my family comes and watches with us. The boys have lots of fun going every night and they loved the fireworks after the rodoe too. The last night when they were cleaing up they had tons of extra boxes of Strawberries so Jackson grabbed me 13 boxes so I ened up doing tons of jam and giving lots away too.

Carnival

2011-07-03T11:47:00.000-07:00

So this is the tree that is in front of the home the my great grandpa built and its become a tradition to get a pict of the kids in front of it when we all go to the carnival. I love to look back at all of the picts and see how much everyone has grown. I even have picts of me and my dad in front of the tree when I was little little.
Taynes bday was the same day so we went to his house for a fun water party and cake and ice cream. After we headed over to the carnival it was really crazy because it was one ticket per ride. All of the kids had so much fun with there cousins. Warren and Haus love Max and he is always so great to play with them and include them. So the boys rode most of the rides with them. Jackson was at the rodeo helping and so I was playing solo so it was fun for the kids but a little to crazy for me. But the kids had tons of fun.

Strawberry Days Parade

2011-07-03T11:37:00.000-07:00

I love love this time of year. We have always sat on main street to watch the parade at my grandparents home even though it sold a few years ago we still make sure we put out blankets and chairs to keep the tradition going. None of my extended family comes anymore but anyone who knows me knows its still the greattest thing to me. All of my family and some of there families come, its soooo fun. My kids had lots of fun dancing around and picking up candy with all of there best little buds.

Warren, Cash and Haus after they got hats from the fireman.

Camping at Current Creek June 10,11 2011

2011-07-03T11:21:00.000-07:00

We went for the weekend camping with my aunt Lora, cousin Ariel, her boyfriend Thomas and his family and we had a blast. I have never been to Current Creek and it was beautiful. Warren and Haus found to great buddies up there, Peyton and Chloe. They had a blast finding every bug in the whole camp area. We were right by the lake and went fishing didnt catch anything but the kids had a blast. I have to say camping with Thomas is the greatest he can cook the greatest camp food EVER!

Kids Village

2011-06-25T21:00:00.000-07:00

The boys go to a fun camp at kids village on Tuesdays for a few hours while I work. Haus has never been anywhere really without me, Jackson or one of our parents so this was a new experience for the both of us. He has been liking it Warren has been loving it. The first week they had a reptile exhibit and learned about animals and made animal cookies. Then the next week they learned about camping and so they had smores on got flash lights. Then this past week was wild wild west and Warren learned all about people back in the western days and Haus made his own vest.

Cooking Class

2011-06-25T20:56:00.000-07:00

We go to a cooking class at the rec center once a week and its really fun. They really get to make fun stuff and the boys love it. They have tons of there little friends in there class too. This day they made bread sticks and coconut banana bread. June 2011

Sidewalk Paint

2011-06-25T20:41:00.000-07:00

This doesnt even do justice to the way they looked when I was spraying them off with the hose. For some reason I love this stuff and my kids obviously love it more. They have so much fun when they play with it. I bought tons of it last year in October when it was all on clearance and I just found it in the garage. So it was a fun entertainer for the kids for a few hours June 23 2011

Fishing and Swimming

2011-06-25T20:36:00.000-07:00

Today we went fishing at the new little pond by the temple and we had no luck in the fish department. But the swimming was way fun Im pretty sure anything with Papa James is fun. They were faking like they were alligators and they were chasing each other. June 25 2011

Vail, Colorado

2011-06-25T20:02:00.001-07:00

We went to Colorado the first weekend in June with some of our friends the Davis. I have to say it was so nice to get away and everyone had tons of fun. They were having this huge Teva games that included bike races, fly fishing, rock climbing, kayaking and lots more outdoor stuff. My boys favorite was surely riding there own kayaks and the dog jumping thing. The only crapper of the whole trip is are car decided to leak gas on the way home so luckily Cam and Jamie were great to follow us all the way home.

Sports
Warren is playing Tball and loving every minute. The only thing is he would rather hit a ball that you throw to him then off a T. So other than that he is loving it. Some of his buddies are on the team, Cash Laycock, Dylan Story, Bridger Blackhurst.
Jackson is still playing on a soccer league he is only on one team right know. His other team ended a few weeks ago. But then he decided to pick another one and he is playing softball and I love taking the boys and watching. I think Jackson just loves being really busy.

Kiwanis Hike
I have been taking the boys on this hike its about 2.5 miles and they going espcially because they throw rocks in the stream the whole time we are walking up.

Memorial Day Weekend
We had a way fun weekend we started with the FIREMANS BREAKFEAST, which is always a must in are household and it did not disapoint. Then we went over and weeded my moms yard for her bday and Warren was lucky enough to have Papa James catch him a snake. He named it Blue Kaa and sadly in Warren and Haus's eyes it died 5 days later. Then later that night we had friends over for a bbq but it ended up being inside because shocker shocker the weather did not listen and it was raining. On Sunday Me, Haus, my mom and my brother Cody went and decorated the graves. Haus was entertaining all of us he is so funny. Jackson and Warren went bear hunting. In the afternoon we had a bbq at my moms for her bday. Oh ya and we started digging a downstairs entrance.

Jackson and Kelli's GRADUATION dinner

Today we had Jackson and Kelli a dinner for recieving there masters degree, Kelli's was in special Ed and Jackson's in Educational Administration. They both are so amazing and so smart it blows my mind the things they know. I love how both of them think its not a big deal to receive there masters. But I guess in some ways its expected in there family most of them have masters. So yes there parents are very proud of there kids but have always had education as something you just do. I love that my kids have this to look up to. I come from a great family but no one has a degree Im the closest and I am a semester away from an associates.

Jacksons dad brought his camera up so I could take some of the picts off it from Warrens graduation. I found these ones of some of our family in November 2010. When we had Jacksons family over to open presents and have cake and ice cream for Warrens 5th bday. Because on his bday we were going to be in Disneyland.
Warrens preschool graduation May 18 2011. These are the picts off of Craigs camera.

They sang songs and did sign language with most of them. Warren is not a lover of being up in front of people but he did awesome.

They had a slide show of the kids through the whole year.
