Holiday Magic

Christmas time is here and we are enjoying every minute. We are taking in all of the fun festivites. Brady is extremley jazzed about all the lights. He freaks out when ever we see a tree or house with lights, and goes crazy when he see's any type of train. We have been to two of our local tree lighting ceremonies and it has been so fun watching Brady enjoy himself. What a fun age he is at. We were lucky to go enjoy the holiday magic of Disneyland yesterday. Daddy played hooky from work(which he has never done), but we were in need of some fun family time. Disneyland is so fun this time of year. The castle looks beautiful all covered in snow and lights, it snows on main street in the evening, and whats better than small world at Christmas time? It was such a fun day! We hope you are all enjoying the season as much as we are. Love you all!

A long time coming

After much anticipation I am returning to update our blog. I am aware that many of you have made requests for my return to the blogger world (Janelle). So here I am. Go to the bathroom and grab a beverage beacause you may be here a while.

Brady is the cutest thing ever, which you all know. Since he is numero uno our lives revolve around him. So most everything I have to say is about him. He is talking all the time now. Favorite words are: Dada (in a whispering voice only), cuck (truck), uh-oh (when the phone rings), and his most used word is ohh!, when ever he sees something cool. Brady's favorite thing's to do: watch Disney's Car's (he laughs and dances through the whole thing), play with his favorite truck that Nanny bought him at Disneyland ( freaks out if it's not glued to him), and of course go on walks and to the park with Mommy.

It seems like every week we are out and about on a new adventure. We spend lots of time with Grammy and Nanny (Brady's Grandmas). Every time we get off the freeway at either of their houses he starts to clap and then says his famous word "Ohh." He definitely has them wrapped around his little finger. Brady had his first experience at Chuckie Cheese. He was terrified of Chuckie, but who wouldn't be scared of a 6 foot gray mouse walking towards you? He did love playing one of the basketball games though. Wes and I also took Brady to the pumpkin patch and that was so much fun. He picked out a great pumpkin and had fun looking at the animals in the petting zoo.

Wes has been quite busy lately. Most of you know that he is probably the biggest college football fan ever. He starts gearing up for the season in March. He's nuts, but my nut and that's why I love him. He is actually in Las Vegas right now for the BYU game. His favorite team is BYU and he has been lucky to be able to catch 3 of their games already. It is fun bonding time for he and the guys. As for me not much to report. I am enjoying my favorite time of year, and trying to make this time special for my family. As a little girl I always loved this time of year because my Mom always had the house decorated spooky for Halloween and festive for Thanksgivnig. She always made it special and I hope to do the same for my family.

I don't know how to make a slide show, so until I figure it our sorry there is a long line of pics.

It's been a while...

Well, it's been a while since I've updated the blog. As our summer comes to an end I get sad that there are only a few beach days left. Wes has labeled Brady and I as official "Beach Bums." We would be there everyday if we could. We have been able to do lots of fun things this summer. Most recently we were in Utah for a a family reunion on Wes's side. It's always fun to be together with family. We've all heard the phrase "The more the merrier." Well this surely is the case for the Jones'. What a fun time we all have when we are together. We were able to do lots of fun things while we were there. When we got back we were so lucky to have Janelle(sister-in-law) and Brooklyn(niece) visit. I got to go to wicked (yes, again) with them and to Disneyland. The one good thing with summer ending is that our annual passes to Disneyland begin to work again. Brady LOVES disneyland, so does his Mommy. We live 30 minutes away and like to visit often. Wes and I just celebrated our 4th wedding anniversay and can't believe where the time has gone. Time flies when your having fun. I hope all of you have had as great of summer as we have!

Beach Time

What a fun week we have had. Brady went on his first camping trip. He was in Heaven being at the beach with his Nanny and Papa all week. His favorite places to be were in the driver seat of the RV and out on the beach. Brady kept Mommy running from sun up to sun down. She couldn't keep him out of the water. He wanted to do everything his big cousins did. We all had such a fun and relaxing time. We did a lot of laughing, swimming, eating, and chasing kids. We are so grateful for the fun times we have together as family.

Family Reunion

This is Brady's twin. Can you believe how much Brady and Coleman look alike? Coleman is Jen and Kimball's little boy. Jen and I were freaking out about how much they look alike. Well I'm sure you have all heard there was a Jones gathering on Friday night. It's always fun to get together with the very entertainig Jones clan. Kids were swimming and screaming and adults were eating and chatting. We are blessed to be a part of such a wonderful family.

Family Vacation

These pictures were taken in San Luis Obispo. Wes had a business trip so Brady and I tagged along. We had a great time. We went to Morro Bay and Pismo Beach. When we went to Morro Bay Brady looked out at the ocean and said "water." These kinds of things are exciting to us first time parents. We also got to ride a surry bike in Santa Barbara on our way home. As you can see Brady definitely has a "Jones" head.

"What's that?"

Brady keeps us running 24/7. He loves running around the house with his golf clubs or his favorite plastic spoon. "What's that?" is Brady's most recent vocabulary. Everything he sees he asks us "what's that?". Brady has quite the personality these days. He is very independent and has a mind of his own. We have a feeling that he will be a lot like his Mommy. How lucky we all are :)

Happy Birthday!

Our little guy turned one on June 1! He had a fun time at his baseball party with all his family and friends. His Grammy made him a really yummy baseball cake. Brady was disappointed that his God Father Mike Barber was unable to show, but Uncle Justin took time off from the set to make a special appearance.
