You know you live with boys when...

All in a day with boys. Today was just one of those funny days when I realize how much of a boys world I live in, We were out at the Ranch and Matt needed to go potty, I told him he would have to us the old wooden outhouse and with out missing a step he said ok went in not only once but twice (so wouldn't happen with girls I remember wanting to cry when I had to use one), Matt comes in with a gash on his head from having hit the concrete, Scott is tucking them in and they have the newspaper adds "The Gun Section" and said there were their newspapers to look at, and then I found a rubber lizzard on the floor in the living room and another one taking a bath in the bathroom sink. They all just made me smile. What a boring life I would have without all my boys.

The Boys had a busy and fun weekend

Jake's School has a "Wall of Fame" that the students teachers can recommended them to receive a "Brick". There were only 4 kids from Jake's class that received a brick this year, I was so proud of Jake for doing so well at School this year. His award was for "Personal Skills" this includes being prepared and ready to learn, helpful and kind to the other students, and being successful with his learning.


Then the boys got to go spend the weekend with their Granny & Papa. They had a great time. They loved getting to swim and thought the shakes and Johnny Rockets were the best.

Can you say slacker...

Ok so I know it's been since before Christmas since I've posted, I am so sorry. We are still alive and are doing well. I will try to give more details of the last few months later but for now here are a few pics for all you deprived Jones Family followers.

D-Backs Game

Thanks Dad G., For mom's birthday we went to a D-Backs Game, we had a great time it was very fun to get away! Also a HUGE thanks to Mom & Dad J who kept both of the boys for us so that we could go down and have a little time away!

4th of July

We had such a good time over the 4th. Yep we were at the Ranch again, we sure love that place, especially the people that usually come with it. It is so fun to get to spend time with so much of our family while we are there. The Brinton's let us crash with them again, and we are sure greatful, the boys have even taken to them as an extra set of Grandparents :-). My kids are sure lucky to have so much family that spoil them and love them. We had some strage weather while we were there some sun, rain, snow, & even hail. But it was all worth it to get to be out enjoying good company.

Gone Fishing

Scott had Monday off and we decided to take the boys Fishing. We got to the lake and got set up and it was so beautiful it reminds me why I am so lucky to live here. Jake had a great time casting and reeling his line back in, my reel broke about 20min into our adventure which is ok as I got to take more pictures that way. We say the coolest birds I'm not sure if it was a pelican or something like that but it was very neat to see it so close up. At one point Matt was so excited to see what Scott was doing and started to run down the little hill to be with him and of course tripped and fell head first into the lake (so sad I didn't have my camera for that..) Once we got him changed he was good for the moment. With no luck we went to the next lake and atleast saw fish in the lake even though we got no bites!!! The bugs were horrible and they were bitting plenty. I guess we'll have to try for earlier in the morning or closer to dusk if we want any bites from the fish. The boys had a good time but by the time we left the 2nd lake I think they had hat it. Hope it goes better next time.

The Making of a Contortionist???

Alright so lately Jake has been going through what I am hoping is a "stage" but he likes to fit into strange things and small things for that matter. A few weeks ago we were outside and I couldn't find him and was looking around and next thing I know the lid on the Ice Chest pops open and out he comes. Then last weekend I got a bag to carry my scrap booking stuff around when I need to take it somewhere and he was so excited and asked me if he could play with the box, I said sure (why again to we buy them toys?) Anyhow my mom came in and asked where my camera was and this was the pictures she got. It was so funny this box was really not very big maybe 8" wide 12" tall & 18" long at the most. Aren't kids fun!!! :-) Maybe someone will pay him for this talent one day and he can take good care of good old mom & dad!

Fun at the Park

Today was such a pretty day. The boys and I went to the park to play and have a picnic. We had a great time, even though you can't tell from Matt's pics he didi have a great time at the park he just doesn't really like the cammera lately, unless he is helping take the pics. The boys didn't even want to come home, oh the life of these kids I would love to not have to ever leave the park too.
