The Latest...

So I know I haven't updated my blog in a long while, so I thought that I would do it all at once. 

Andrew's birthday party went really well. My good friend Melissa made a Veggie Tales cake for him, which he absolutely loved. It turned out awesome as you can see.

For Thanksgiving, we had my parents over and I cooked a really yummy turkey and some potatoes, stuffing, and some jello with mandarin oranges, apples, pineapple, and walnuts, yum!!!! Mom made some pies and brought veggies as well. It was a much needed day of rest.

Ryan is actually finishing up this semester tonight! He has his Organic Chemistry final left to do and then we get a few weeks off for Christmas break. I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!  We are just waiting on one transcript to arrive for two of our applications to pharmacy school. We should hear soon if he will get an interview and then hopefully an acceptance letter. We have worked so hard and I can't wait until the next chapter to begin:)

 

Pumpkin Time!

Today we went to my good friend Sara Glock's house for a halloween party with the kids. Andrew was one of the younger ones there so he mostly just ate some yummy food and snacks and then wandered around finding toys. Ethan did a really good job and just people watched the whole time. We had a wonderful time and I thought the boys were just too cute in their little costumes. Drew was a Knight and Ethan was a Bumble Bee. We carved a pumpkin later on after dinner as well. Ryan was at class so we decided to take some pics so that he could see. The boys really didn't find it too fun, Andrew thought the insides were, "eeeeew, gross." All in all, it was a fun day!

A long time coming...

I know, I know. I haven't "blogged" in quite a while. I guess between not having my camera handy to put my new pics on the computer and my pretty crazy, busy days lately, I just could not find the time. I have finally sat down to add lots of things to my blog. So here ya go! I have pics of Drew and Kinsley having a blast in the "more fun than toys" box.  A trip to the zoo on the crazy "free" day. Oh, and of course one of my favorites- the day at May Farms- the yearly "fall festival". 

ENJOY!!!

Jones Family Camping Trip

So Ryan and I decided that it would be a good idea to take the boys on their first camping trip. Some may say "kind of silly to take a four month old camping, aye?" Ok, so it was kind of hard trying to keep the boys asleep and wondering if that was a bear we heard or some other scary creature outside our tent all night, but we really did have a great time. I think we will wait a little while longer until we try this again. Maybe we'll go in a camper next time. A few more minutes to try to scare a bear or mountain lion off, when there are hard sides to your makeshift wilderness home would be nice:) We went across to the other side of Colorado to Rifle Falls. It was just beautiful there. We had a camp spot next to some really nice people and the Falls were just a 3-4 minute walk from our sight. This will definitely be a trip to remember.
