Last week----

After Isaac and Mary's sealing on Monday (last week) Kace got to go home with Grandpa and Grandma Jones to have a sleepover with his cousins. I went up in the morning to spend the day with them. We spent the morning outside in the snow and then got in the hot tub. Just imagine four crazy ladies and five even crazier boys (I guess Ty wasn't quite as crazy as the older boys). They got double dared to go out in the snow and then come back in the hot tub. They loved that! After about an hour, Caitlin, Rainee and I got out with Ty and Evan and went inside. After an hour later we were wondering where Donene and the other boys were and what they were doing, so we checked back in the hot tub. Yes, they were still there! They had put the sleds in the hot tub and were pretending that they were their boats. They would climb on and it would rock them off! There was a lot of laughing and a lot of water! They were out there for another hour after that, they were shriveled like prunes, but all had a great time.

Yes, is their roof at the top of the picture! I couldn't believe they still had that much snow and I am definitely glad that ours is ALMOST gone! hip hip hooray!

This is a blurry picture, but it was so funny I just had to put it on. Caitlin called for us to come downstairs because Ty had climbed up over the bar to the basketball hoop and started climbing up the ramp with the ball so he could make a basket! love it! :)

Nate's childhood stomping ground!

On Monday we traveled to Provo for Nate's bro Isaac's sealing to Mary Salisbury Jones......from those of you from high school Mary is Sarah's sister. Anyway, while we were in Provo we stopped by to visit Nate's house that he lived in until he was four years old. He, as well as his dad and sister were remembering the house and the things they did while they were there.
This is the picket fence Nate used to escape over with his dog, Oggie (sound familiar people, the escaping and the DOG!--not at all like my (our) boys! please catch the sarcasm!)
I forgot to take a picture of my favorite part of Provo, so you will have to picture it in your minds,..............drum roll please.........that's right LaVell Edwards Stadium! Of course I got the familiar rush of adrenaline when we drove by it, it made me very excited for six months from now! I believe I even had a moment of silence! :)
It was a beautiful day with a beautiful event taking place. We have really been looking forward to today

One more week!

It has been another week and I just don't have too much to blog, SORRY HEIDI! I keep forgetting to take my camera places. Today we all went on our first walk of SPRING! (YEA!!) and Ty kept finding all the mud puddles and waddled and splashed from puddle to puddle. I thought to myself, "I wish I had my camera." Also, we went to McDonald's for FHE so the boys could play on the playplace (and I could have a hot fudge sundae!) and I forgot my camera then too. AHHHHH!!! So these pictures are ones that we take at home because that is where my camera is. ................

This picture (above) was last week when I was upstairs reading the vampire books (as I call them-maybe that's why not much has gone on, but at least I am finished with them!) and I hear this screaming coming from Kace. I ran downstairs and found this big mess. Apparently Ty was hungry and didn't want to wait for me, he got the gravy mix and DUMPED it all out. He was pretty proud of himself.

Ty decided he would be a baby and was trying to figure out how the binky used to go in his mouth! He never used binkys all that much as a baby, but always enjoys playing around with it.

This picture was this morning, Ty got finished with his breakfast first and decided to come and beg Kace for some of his. Kace always does such a good job looking out for his brother.

I am almost finished with this year's basketball season. I just have the tournament in Brigham and then it will be over, for another year at least. This is something I really look forward to each year. Don't worry Mel and Kami it was definitely better when I played with you guys in Smithfield. Good times!

PS Kami just reminded me that I forgot to take a picture today when Ty found a bit of cow crap by the back door (off of Nate's boots), the next thing I know he is making this gagging sound, I turn around and there is green stuff that he is spitting out of his mouth. I forgot to take a picture of that as well, thank you dear sister for kindly reminding me.

poor sick baby!

Well, or the past week Ty has been very sick with pneumonia. Everyone (Heidi) wanted me to get a new post for my blog, but we didn't really do anything besides, rock and cry, and yep, that's about it. So that is my excuse, we didn't really have anything too exciting going on!
Finally, on Friday he was feeling a little bit better and we did go to Nate's parents house and introduced Kace to the great show, "THE PRINCESS BRIDE!" And on Sunday we went to my parents for Kami's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SISTER-it's actually tomorrow! Always a fun time.........

It's always fun when grandparents come!

We are very lucky/blessed to have such wonderful grandparents/parents. Our boys are always sooooo excited to have them come over and "play." The first two pictures are of Nate's mom and dad on Ty's birthday. Ty is REALLY happy, isn't he?!

These pictures are of last night when my parents came over. You might notice that in every picture Kace has a weird face. As soon as a camera is present the crazy faces come out and he is no longer normal (I know that was a setup for some sarcastic comment, so hold your tongue Heidi and Kami)
The other day Kace was at his friend Sam's house (Anna Keen Palfreyman's son) and he told Anna that, "my grandpa Jones is WAY WAY OLD. He is 54! But my grandpa Andrew isn't far behind he is 53." He said it so matter of factly like he was 25 or something. Sorry grandpas for disclosing your ages. It was just so funny.

Ooops

Well, this weekend has been a very eventful (I don't really have another word for it) one for our family. Let's start the story, which I will tell, if and only if you promise NOT to make fun of me. On Friday morning Nate went down to play basketball and he called me to tell me he was on his way home and that his eye got cut. He asked if we had any liquid bandage or super glue that we could put on his cut. I said that I had bought some for when Ty cut his nose. So I got the stuff out and prepared for his arrival. Well, when he got home he laid down on the bed and told me to just put a little bit on and to be careful. I was VERY CAREFUL and just let a drop come out, but immediately it went ALL over his eye. He jumped up screaming that his eye was super glued and that he couldn't open it. He was also saying (yelling) that the super glue was on his eyeball. AUGHHHHH!!!! Not a good day at the jones'. He asked me to read the box and find out how to get the stuff off. So I got the box and all I could find was, "don't use on face." "don't use near eyes." Great, that doesn't help now does it. So I called the number on the box and they said to use eye makeup remover and/or canola oil. After about an hour of scrubbing and picking, he could open his eye part way. After awhile longer he could open it fully, but it was very sore and raw and very very red. Later he got an infection in it, but don't worry it is all doing much better now. So just remember not to use liquid bandage and/or super glue on faces and espcially not near EYES! and also a note to self: rachel is NOT a nurse! don't laugh

Oh, and Nate is obviously very happy to have me take this picture :)
