July 4th...

This year I decided to take the kiddos to the parade.. Braving the crowds and all.. Although it was a bit hot, the kids had a blast. We sat by The Mathesons, and even got to see Mack in the parade. Then it was off to the park to an awesome water slide our friend Rick made.. Ending the night with a barbecue and fireworks.. :) Fun times..

Casey and Jaden at the parade...

Jones Family Reunion...

(June 30, 2012) This year the Jones reunion was up on the old Yellowstone (over near Duchesne).. My Mom grew up going there, so it was fitting that her family have it there. It was really neat to see where they went as kids, where they stayed and what they did. It was really fun. Got to meet new members of the family and reminisce with ones I hadn't seen in forever.. :) Here are some pics..
