Craft Projects!!

I've been going to some Super Saturday's lately and these are the things that I did!!
This last one is my favorite. I only did the home blocks at the Super Saturday, I had to go get everything else for it, but I really like how it turned out! I love the green and black of this and the Be canvas! They are in my kitchen!

Halloween Cookies

I decided that for Halloween I would make cute little Halloween cookies for our Visiting/ Home teaching families/women. So, the boys and I slaved over cutting the dough out and baking all day long. Then I slaved for a day and half making them cute with frosting. Then they sat on my counter for 4 days. And... I didn't deliver any of them. :( by the time I got around to it they were old and not even half as soft. So, i took them to a family party because I knew no one would care. :) actually, I did give 6 cookies to our friends and that was all and that was the same day we made them!! Anyways, we had a great time as a family doing them and the boys had a blast. Here's some pics of our cookie making fun! Happy Halloween!
Look at that tongue? Isn't he a Jones' through and through!! :)

My baby is 4!!!!!

I can't believe that Cahlin is officially 4!! We have been looking forward to his birthday for at least 6 months! He's such an awesome boy. I wouldn't trade him for anything. Cahlin has pushed Kevin and I forward so much and I'm so thankful that Heavenly Father entrusted him to us. He has such a strong spirit and I know he wants to do those things that are right. He talks about growing up and going on his mission almost every single day. ( he also talks about growing up so he can watch Batman.. but that's a different story) :) He is so kind and patient with his friends and with Eyan most days. I catch him all the time just explaining things to Eyan and helping him figure out how something works. Today Eyan fell down the stairs and so I was on the stairs holding him while he was sobbing. Cahlin came up next to us and started to rub Eyan's back too. And he told Eyan ... " It's ok Eyan, we all have problems." Is that cute or what? He's also a very funny kid too. He's always telling my sister Carmen to be careful and not hurt herself. The other day he was at a friends house and they were having a snack he told the mom that he probably shouldn't have a snack because he didn't know if I would want him to, but then he said but it's my choice.. and took the snack. He's just a crack up! We love him so much and we can't wait for the next year of wild rides with him!! Now since I've worn you all out with this huge paragraph.. on to his party!!! :)






The weekend before his b-day G&G Jones gave Cahlin his present.
Cahlin's first words after his shock resided was that it was "AWESOME!!!"
Thanks Grandma and Grandpa! We love you!

Here is Cahlin right after he had woken up on his birthday and come down stairs!
Cahlin getting ready to eat his rolly pancake!! The Jones family has a tradition of having crepes for every ones birthday breakfast!

Opening his present from Eyan.. which was Legos!!

Cahlin got to do whatever he chose for his birthday. He decided that he wanted pizza and ice cream. And then to go see Ice Age 3. Cahlin loved his fantastic pizza and his ice cream! He chose a orange dream flavor. After pizza and ice cream we ventured on over to the movie and saw Ice Age. ( Which by the way is extremely cute!) With our friends Brynlee and her mom Ashley!! We had a great day and I hope he had a great time doing things that he loved!Eyan enjoying the day as well!! :)

The next weekend we had his actual birthday party. He wanted a Transformers party! We got together after Conference and had dinner and then played Optimus Prime Says, Find the All Spark, Autobot vs. Deceptacons Battle, and we had an Optimus Prime Pinata! We had a lot of fun with the kids and talking with family!

Happy birthday bud!!

I'm Not gonna lie....

If my husband could move like Michael Jackson used too... well, I'd be a lucky girl!!! :) When Michael Jackson died, it's true I didn't really think twice about it. I didn't read anything about it or get into his life at all. But then I was talking to my friend Ashley, about his death and she was saying that he was really a very talented singer even as a kid.So, here I am at 1 in the morning with no husband around so I'm resisting going to bed and I'm looking up Michael Jackson music videos! Turns out she was RIGHT!! He was awesome! And actually I really do like quite a few of his songs too! As I was doing so I stumbled across this video and I loved it. Now, to explain... Kevin's got the singing voice down. I'm happy with that BUT his dance moves are a bit on the rusty side... ok.. the non-exsistant side.. :) and don't get me wrong, I love him with or without dancing skills but I'm tellin ya, if I saw him move like this just once, I'd be happy for the rest of my life!!!! WOW!! ;) I don't care who you are, this is awesome and don't kid yourselves girls you wish your husbands moved like this too! lol ;)

Comment Draught

Ok, so I know that I haven't been the best at commenting on friends blogs... but good grief, I'm feeling the lack of love now!! This is horrible. I don't even kid myself that I only blog to write things down...not that it isn't a good thing. But getting comments makes this whole blogging thing so much fun! So, I have decided to turn over a new leaf. I plan to comment on your blogs from now on!!! I'm sorry! I've neglected you all! Please, forgive me! Love me again!!! :) Anyways, just wanted you to know I'm working on getting back into my blogging world. Slowly I'm catching back up! I've posted about 5 posts on here tonight so enjoy!! Love ya all and hope you are enjoying the cool fall weather!

Boys being Boys

I have enjoyed so much lately the boys being little friends. With Eyan being able to play a lot more now since he can walk and stuff he's much more fun for Cahlin. Here is a cute video of them bonding! I love it!!

Justin & Kylee

So, at the beginning of September my cousin got married. They were the cutest little couple. I have enjoyed so much getting to know both of them more! They got married in the Rexburg Temple. So, we decided after the wedding to go around the temple and get some family pics! Our little camera timer did a pretty good job I think!! It was a beautiful wedding and we had great fun being with family!

Savings

Cahlin spent about 2 months saving up his money to buy a special toy all by himself. He did chores every single day! He did a great job and we are so proud of him! He stuck with it even when saving up 14 dollars seemed like a lot of money.Here he is with his piggy bank getting ready to count up his money to see if he had enough for his wonderful Bumblebee the Transformer!!

Also, Our fridge was getting a bit outrageous with his master drawings and colored pictures. So, I begged him to take a picture of everything.. (thanks for the idea Trina!) it took me at least a week to get him to do it but I finally won! He does great when he decides to do an art project. It's like pulling teeth to get him to do it but once he starts he has fun! I love his kid! Isn't he just too cute!

Green Canyon

My sister Heather came up with her kids for the weekend the end of August. We had a great time! One of the days we ventured up to Green Canyon for the day. It was a blast! I love green canyon, it never changes but it's always great. I have so many memories of me being a child there and now I get to take my own kids there! Cahlin, Piper and Levi had a great time going from the cold pool and out. We also had fun on the boogie boards. Plus, Cahlin, Kevin and Piper had a great time on the diving board. I couldn't get Cahlin to do anything else!

sorry the video is sideways... but it's so cute I had to post it!
and here is a video of Kevin showing off his master skills! lol
