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 :)

Tydon's FIRST birthday

We celebrated Tydon's birthday on three different days. First, we went to Trenton on Sunday where we celebrated Heidi, Clayton and Ty's birthday (much to heidi's dismay that we might steal some of her thunder-she already feels picked on for having a birthday in January!) So we had a nice dinner (thanks mom) and then played outside-not too much fun for Ty because he was tired and went to sleep, which made it more fun for the rest of us! So we played on the four-wheelers and sleds (aka tarps tied with twine to the four-wheeler). It was a great time. Then we came inside and had a little family DDR. Kace insists that he is the best dancer of us all. Then on Monday Nate's parents came over and we had some hamburgers and cupcakes and discovered Ty's love of pickles. He ate a TON of them. Then on Tuesday we had a quiet day at home and sang a lot of "happy birthday." Kace was so excited for this day that he could hardly stand it. They even sang to Ty at Kace's preschool. That evening our good friend Shirleen came over for cupcakes and more singing. He had a great THREE days and is one spoiled kid!!

the day at the ER

On Dec 20 we were at the picture store developing some pics for a Christmas card (which after this day became a New Year's or Holiday card........sorry everyone! :) ) Anyway, Ty and Kace were playing and Ty fell into the corner of a platform and split the bridge of his nose open. This first picture was just about an hour before the accident. I came downstairs and found him in the empty cupboard and was just so happy!

We went to the dr. and he didn't want to touch it because of how it was in the middle of his face so he said to go to the ER and he would call a plastic surgeon over from Logan. So we waited and waited and waited. Finally (after a few broken Christmas tree ornaments- sorry hospital, he really is a DESTROYER!), they told us to go home and they would call us when he got there and was ready for us.
