Give Thanks!

We stayed in AZ for Thanksgiving this year and it was so nice not to travel, but we did miss seeing all the family! Nana and Papa drove down and spent a week with us. It was so much fun having them here and sharing Thanksgiving with them. Trevi didn't want to say good bye so they took her home with them. We will miss having our little girl with us but we will get her back when we go up for Christmas!

Trevi and Ezra loved Thanksgiving. When we were going around the table saying what were thankful for Trevi said "bread" (that's my girl!) and you only have to see the pictures of Ezra to know what he is thankful for!

I am so thankful for my little family and my extended family. I am grateful that my kids have amazing grandparents who love them more than life and make so much time for them. I am thankful for a husband who works hard and is a great husband and father. I am grateful for healthy and happy kids! I could go on and on... but I won't!

Trevi has only been gone for one day and it is so quiet around here. Ezra is getting more attention then he knows what to do with and he is loving it. Funny how I used to think that one child was so much work and now that I just have one around he seems so easy. Looks like there will be a lot of dejunking going on these 3 weeks so we can move after Christmas!

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving, bring on Christmas baby!

Suggestions Please!!

I need all of your best suggestions for music I need to have on my iPod! I am in a total rut. It seems like everytime I am running I am fast forwarding to the next song. I have some long runs ahead and I might go crazy if I don't get some new songs! So hit me with your best suggestions I want everything from the booty shakin kind to the easy listening.

I know you are out there so don't be shy!!

Best time of day

I was just thinking about the parts of the day that are my favorite with my kids. For sure both mornings and right before bedtime are my favorite part of the day with both but for different reasons. It may just be that I love routine too, but I think that they love it too. No matter what craziness happens through out the day the mornings and bedtime are so predictable and I feel like it is special time to just enjoy each other and their little personalities.



I love morning time with Trevi. She is always so happy and cuddly in the morning. She looks so cute with her messy hair and it always smells so good from the bath the night before. She always gives us big hugs and tells how she slept so good and that she needs her cereal.



I love the bedtime part of the day with Ezra! Usually while he is eating his cereal Trevi will go and turn the bath on. Once he hears the water running he starts getting excited. I strip him down and he is off usually before I can finish. While I go to get the PJs he usually makes his way to the tub and stands there waiting for his tub time. He is just so nice and I love that he gets so excited about his bath time.

Yeah for Friends

Warning--the following is a trip down memory lane that will not be appreciated by all but will be greatly appreciated by some!

This last weekend I was able to catch up with an old friend. Amy
has been a friend of mine for about five years now. We met in Nauvoo while attending BYU's Semester at Nauvoo. I knew the second she got on the bus with her cute little Ann Taylor duds and matching red purse that we would be fast friends, and we were! I was able to see her because she invited me to participate in a boutique her mom and friends were do. I am very grateful to her for inviting me because it turned out to be a very successful weekend for Jonesy Baby. I love that Amy knows who she is and is confident with herself. It always helps to have that in a friend! I am sorry to say that it has just taken me so long to hook up with her but better than than never! Though you might think that Nauvoo would get a bit boring (and it could) we managed to always find great ways to entertain ourselves.

Anyone who is looking for a Christmas card, birth announcement design, etc check out Amy's new venture, Ink'd. From what I hear this is only one of her many ambitions. I am so glad that I got to see you Amy and this time it won't be so long in between visits!






If this picture was not such poor quality you might be able to appreciate what a great shot this is with the temple in the background. The reason why this shot is so good is because we had to get on the roof to get it. Shortly after this picture was taken we got in trouble for being up there, but we just deferred to Amy's mom since she was the "grown-up" of the group. Oops!



Running was so much fun in Nauvoo! We were always up bright and early in our "swooshy" pants and this morning was one of the best runs even though it was pouring.



We never lacked in the having fun area. We always found ways to entertain ourselves. (Don't worry I am sure that Elle had it coming to her whatever it was.)

Halloween 2007

The kids were so fun to take door-to-door. Holidays are so much more fun with kids!! Trevi is still trying to understand how all we talked about was Halloween for weeks and then one day it is over.
