Going Home!!!

Well it is official I am flying home on July 15! My brother is getting married on the 19th so it's the perfect excuse to go home! My brother Robert has finally found a girl crazy enough to marry him! Woohoo! No I'm just kidding he's a great kid and so is she. Since plane tickets are CRAZY expensive I am flying home with the kids and we are staying in Idaho with family until Kevin is done working for the summer ( about 7 weeks!) it's a really long time but we don't want to pay $1500 dollars on plane tickets! But this means that I get to go to the wedding and I get to go to Kevin's family reunion! And last but not least I get to read Breaking Dawn with my sisters and sister in-laws!!! I don't know if you guys have noticed but I have a little count down on my page and it's in the 30's now!! I can't wait! I am really excited but it will be really hard to be away from Kevin for that long.

Rolling Over

Eyan has been rolling over ever since he was 1 week old. Cahin rolled over when he was 2 weeks old. My kids arch their backs a lot and it just makes me them roll over! Cahlin only did it once or twice when he was really little but I can't keep Eyan on his tummy. He will be hanging out for about 1 minute and then he has rolled over! I hope he keeps it up! Now we just need to show him how to go back onto his tummy!

3 Months


Tomorrow Eyan will officially be 3 months old! Where does the time go? Anyways I don't know how much he weighs we are taking him to the doctor later this week so i will update you then but here is a scrapblog so everyone can see how much bigger he is!

Daddy and Son

Kevin and Cahlin had a pretty fun weekend. They love to wrestle and run around being silly. This first video is so them being silly.


This video is of Cahlin doing pushups because he has seen dad doing them a lot lately. I was in the kitchen and Kevin saw him doing it and we had to hurry and get it on camera so Eyan is crying in the background. I don't want anyone to think that I neglect my child, I picked him up right after this video was done!


Goof Ball

Cahlin is my favorite little 2 year old! He is so crazy he is always doing the weirdest things. At church on Sunday his nursery leader brought him to Sunday School because he was stinky ( Kevin go the honor of cleaning him up) :) and when Kevin got out to the hall Cahlin says " Dad I'm not stinky it's just gas! Do you have gas in your tummy?" I don't know how Kevin answered and I don't know why Cahlin would decide to say that we don't usually talk about gas! The day before I put gas in the car, maybe that is what he was referring to! No one will ever know.
The growth on Cahlin here is his stuffed giraffe, Jeffery! He loves to stuff him down his shirt it drives me nuts half of the necks on his shirts are stretched out because of it!

Cahlin and Mason were playing the game Elefun and they don't ever really play the game they just put the nets on their heads and chase the butterflies around. At least they have fun! That's all I ask for!
A couple Sundays ago we had a BBQ at a park and it started to rain. There was tons of mud and my son was drawn to it! He had mud all over his face his hair was wet and he was covered in sweat from running around AND he stepped in a huge pile of mud and his shoes were covered in mud! Oh the joys!

Steak


I made Kevin a mans meal for dinner on father's day. Steak and Potatoes. I NEVER make steak I don't like to eat it and I don't like to make it. I hate the bones and the fat! And I won't eat it if it is pink at all! But I figured I could make it for him once a year! Here he is eating his lovely dinner and I know I am a dork using wine glasses but I think they look cool! And of course Kevin HAD to have milk! He is a Jones through and through!:) Cahlin and I had gatorade in ours!

FaThErS DaY

I am so excited for Father's day this year! It's probably because I am actually putting a little bit more effort into it! Here are a couple of scrapblogs for the wonderful dad's in my life! I love them all very much and I am so grateful for all that they have done for us! Happy Father's day!!


Kevin is the best dad that I could ever ask for, for our kids. He never hesitates to help me out. He loves to wrestle and cuddle. He is kind and gentle and tough at the same time. I know that Cahlin absolutely adores his dad! They are great pals. The party always starts when dad is home! Eyan loves to stare at his daddy and he never hesitates to give Kevin a big grunt or huge smile when dad is watching!

The big picture is of Kevin's parents. We love our Grandpa Jones so much! Cahlin always has a GREAT time wrestling with Grandpa. We can't wait till we get to play with him again! We love you! The picture with the heart is of my dad Grandpa Hughes. Happy father's day dad! We love you.We hope that you have a great summer! The last picture is of the boys' Great Grandparents. Grandpa Bowles and Grandpa Bowman. It's so fun that they have 2 sets of Great Grandpas that they can develop relationships with! We love you! I also have a step dad but I don't have any pictures of him! Happy Father's day to you too Grandpa Giles! We love you!

Cahlin prepared a little musical for the great dad's in our life...

Who wants the money?!?!

Kevin's office had an incentive this last week called " rolling in the dough". The guys earned tickets all week long for varies things and then at the end of the week who ever had the most tickets got to roll in the dough! It is pretty fun to watch. Here are just a couple pictures of the guys winnings!

Nolan, Rufus, Jaime and Sean. ( They think they are so tough.) They don't act so tough when they are getting "looks" in the ghetto! :)

Rufus rollin in the dough!!!

This is Kevin's prize pupil! Kevin trained Jaime when he first got here and he has done an amazing job! We are so excited for his success!

Hopeless Case


I haven't been able to get on the computer all week because our power cord decided to quit working and we had to order a new one. I pretty much went crazy all week long not being able to get on the internet. And it wasn't just not being able to blog I was really upset that I couldn't even look at my bank account! I am going to have to go to AA for computer freaks. This is the last post that I will do today! Cahlin got new church clothes and I am very in love with that little boy and he looks sooo handsome in them. He is my little missionary in-training! I just want to kiss his checks all the time!!!

Swim Time!


It's finally warm! I am so excited! The swimming pool has been so warm! Cahlin just loves it! He thinks that we must go swimming everyday! Which is fine we don't have anywhere else to go! Eyan has a good time dipping his toes in and sleeping by the pool!

Dance Dance

When we walked out of Central Park this group of dancers were doing a little show. Cahlin loved it and now he dances all the time! I guess he is like his mom we LOVE to dance!! Also when we were on the subway 3 boys probably all younger then 13 got on the subway with a stereo and they danced on the subway while it was going! It was crazy! It made me sad to think what their family life at home was like for them to be out doing that at such a young age.




Kisses



Kevin and I were just messing around one night. And I love the look on Kevin's face for like all of the pictures! Eyan looks pretty into it too! Oh yeah... Look how well Kevin's hair is growing back! It's almost long enough to do!

New York


We finally ventured out as a family and went to New York City!! It was a very long day and we had fun but I think it will be a while before we go again! We took the train into the City and then we took the subways to get around. We pretty much spent about 3 hours on trains and subways because people kept giving us the wrong directions! But eventually we made it and we had a great time together as a family! Cahlin got to ride on his first carousel which was in Central Park.We also got to enjoy a New York hot dog! We ventured down to Time Square and saw Madison Square Garden and the HUGE Toys "R" us. It has a ferris wheel inside!

Charmer

This is just a funny story that I thought would be fun to share...

We took the boys down stairs to go swimming today and there really weren't any people down at the pool. There was just one other little girl who was Cahlin's age and her dad. When Cahlin had his floaties on he went over to her to say hi and ask what her name was because that is what he asks everyone that he meets. But he surprised us all by saying.... " That's a cute swimming suit!" And then he asked what her name was.
I wasn't there but I asked Kevin if he knew what the little girls name was and Kevin said, " Yeah, he went over and asked her but he is such a stud he totally used a pick up line on her first. He is such a stud, I love it." Like father, like son I guess! ;) Need less to say, she must have seen Cahlin's charm because she played with him the rest of the time that we were at the pool! ;)

If at first you don't succeed try try again!

I was cleaning up our living room and not really paying any attention to Cahlin. I walked back into the room and he was practicing his gymnastic skills. He is really pretty good at doing sumer-salts. But he added a prop that made it little bit more challenging! :)



Worn Out

Cahlin absolutely loves his slippers. He got this pair for Christmas which was 5 months ago. If given the choice he would choose to wear his slippers over shoes. ( who wouldn't!) I have decided that his slippers have done their work and need to be retired! If you look closely at the right slipper you can actually see his big toe sticking out! :) This picture was really hard to get he was havning a hard time keeping is legs up for more then two seconds! I was giving h im an ab workout!! ;)
