Jones Christmas Party

This year Jon decided that he was too old to sit on Santa's lap. He was SO not excited for this photo opportunity. My kids are growing up way too fast. Bennett was SOOOO stinkin' excited.

Payson's Chef Birthday Party!

Payson's Birthday was December 18th. She wanted a huge extravagant party. We were able to come to a compromise and do a cooking party. I made chef hats and aprons. The girls made personal pan pizzas and gingerbread houses. The houses didn't quite turn out, but they had fun decorating the cookies nonetheless. All in all it turned out great. While the girls were eating their pizzas they decided to smash their FACES into their pizzas, covering their faces with grease. GROSS!!! We has a blast and it was by far the easiest party ever!!!

King Wyatt

my King Wyatt. Wyatt was the Burgar King this year. So I made the blue velvet tunic and he used his nacho libre cape.

Halloween parade at school

At the kids school they had a parade, we lined up down the halls and saw all of the kids walk by. I wasn't able to get Jon's pict (my camera was freaking out). The girls looked so cute. Syd looked so spooky, as a prom vampire; and Payson was a cute witch.

park city

These are just a few of the highlights of our trip to park city. We swam and swam and swam. The water was really warm so I went swimming too. It was SOOO nice to get away from life.

Halloween 2009

Jonny and the raingutter regala

I have never been so proud of my son as I was tonight. Jon's boat was not good at all. It was a great design it was just too wide for the rain gutter. Jon would blow and blow to get it accross the finish line. He came in LAST place every time, but he was such a good sport. He didn't give up once. We rewarded him by going out for red mango yogurt after the race.

me trying to be a good mom...

So the other day the girls had been begging me to let them do crafts w/ paint. I finally gave in and got out butcher paper and paint and set them up in the front yard. It got windy so they went into the garage. While in the garage I went into the backyard to mow the grass. I came back into the garage to find it covered in paint and their bodies covered in paint. After screaming a few obscenities I just laughed and took pictures. So I understand someday I will miss these messes, but right now I REALLY could live without these types of messes.

Wyatt's new LOVE

Wyatt has been coaching football with a buddy of his. They coach up in South Jordan for Bingham high School. It is their little league or pop warner teams. They are undefeated now with their 4th game this Sat the 19th. This makes Wyatt so happy and he is such a good coach. I am so glad he is able to do this, he LOVES it. I am sure the boys love him too. Maybe BYU will want him to be a coach, THEN Wyatt would be in HEAVEN!!!

first day of school

The girls were so excited to be wearing clothes from JUSTICE. Jon really played it cool for the first day but he was nervous. I CAN'T believe how grown up my babies are getting...:(

Jon's new haircut....WHAT?????

My friend Steff cut Jon's hair for me. He needed a trim and that's what I thought we were going to do BUT Jon wanted it all chopped off. He looks SO different w/ short hair. We thought we could stick w/ the mullit but decided not.
