4th of July

For the 4th we drove up to Utah to spend some time with family. Ryan was actually able to come with us for at least a few days of the trip. It was really great to have him with us because he really doesn't get to come with us much. He was studying for boards so taking a few days off was a little stressful for him initially but it all worked out just fine! We spent a few days with Ryan's parents and all the Jones grandchildren. We went to Bear Lake, did fireworks in front of the house and of course the Cruise-in.
Ryan's family was so sweet to remember my birthday and in the middle of the Cruise-in Parade they brought out a birthday cake and sang to me! It was fun and so nice of them! Thanks for a great 4th guys!! My parents and Tessa and her family were also there for the festivities. So great having ALL the family around!!
The baby Jones boys having a great time in the sand at Bear Lake.

These little girls are so fun! It is great seeing them grow up and playing together!
All the Jones grandkids!
The Cruise-In Breakfast. I had to include this pic to prove that Ryan was really there!
Ezra LOVED the sand and the water. He was rolling around in it, when we left there wasn't a crevice that didn't have sand in it.
I am so glad that Tessa, Blake and Easton were there. We don't see them enough!
The guy that owned this car was so nice to let the kids get in, they thought it was so GREAT!

Just Like Papa

People are always saying how much Ezra looks like his daddy (and he does) and those that know my dad say he looks like him too. Look at this great picture of my dad below (he is the naked one) and then Ezra. I always wanted to name my first born boy after my dad (Bradley is his middle name) and it looks like Ezra carries more than just his name. They also have the same habit of sticking out their tongue when they are really concentrating. I love it!

Here are some great shots that Heather got of Ezra. I LOVE them!!!

We have a Dancer

Trevi had her very first dance recital this last weekend and she did a great job! We know that she is not one to shy away from the spotlight but WOW she did so good we are so very proud of her. She is 120% girl and she was totally in her element with her hair in curls and a bit of make-up. Way to go Trevi!!

No they are not one bit shy!

Trevi and Addy were so excited backstage!

I love this picture, it is like a flashback of me at this age in my leotard and tights someday I will post a comparison so you know what I mean.

Logan and Lauryn came to support Trevi and Addy and they brought flowers. Thanks guys!!

Trevi and friends from dance class.

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to the two greatest men I know! Marrying Ryan was the best decision I ever made and my father raised me to make good decisions like that.

I love you both so much!

Little Swimmer

Ezra just started swimming lessons this week. Ryan took him on Wednesday and he didn't cry one bit he just kept a straight face. Then we both took him today and look at what happened.

Utah Trip

We headed up to UT last week to spend time with family. We had a busy week and it is always too short. We did get to see most everyone though some visits were much too short (Ezra threw up and sent us bolting for home from Nicole's).

It was Easton's first birthday on the 28th, HAPPY BIRTHDAY baby boy! I wish we could have spent more time he is getting so big and Ezra and Easton are so much fun together.


We were able to spend some time at the cabin and the kids loved it. They caught a fish and Ezra was loving throwing rocks in the pond.

We got to spend one afternoon with Tiff and Aidan. Ezra and Aidan played so well together it was really fun to catch up and see these little guys in action. Look at how well they share.

Ezra got some new boots. Doesn't he look like a handsome cowboy!

We had a bridal shower for Kelsey at Nana's house. It was so great to see her she is a busy girl these days.

We love you all and we will be seeing you again in July!
