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..

What a great reunion. Had fun learning more about my

Mom's childhood memories.

Basketball... FOR COLE...

I usually post basketball and it's always Stockton, not this time.. I have been begging Cole to play for some time now and he just refused.. So I signed him up, thinking if he doesn't do it I guess I am just out the fifty bucks.. He was really nervous the first practice, and the first game.. But then something happened and this kid who suffers from major anxiety, actually was a different kid on the court. They made him the point guard, and he was so excited about that. He scored points every game, and was so happy.. Most days Stockton played at the same time (boo,) so Troy's parents took Stockton and I took Cole, and he would be so excited to tell Stockton all about his game.  I am happy he gave it a try and hope he signs up again. It did something for him, something GOOD.. Love this kiddo.. Here are some pics of some of his games. He missed a few with reunions and vacations, but loved everyone he went too.



My little number 2...

He was doing something wrong and he didn't quite understand what it was he was doing, so the ref pulled him aside and explained it to him.. Too cute..

My Birthday...

Wow so much has happened since I last updated... Courtnee bugs me everyday to update and I want too, I just don't. So I am finally going to update.. From the end of June until now.. Whew... So for my birthday this year, my sister and brother in law invited us to go boating... Heck yes I will. Although it was too windy to take the boat out, we still had lots of fun playing in the sand. :) Just a few pictures from our sand playing..

Levi decided to make everyone a mermaid.. Silly Levi..

Where is Jaden?
