We Wish You A Merry Christmas

We hope you enjoy your Christmas.  With Love,  The Jones'

Let's play ball!

Bobby played T-ball this year.  He had a fabulous time.  He played on the Angels.  His coaches name was Travis Gonzalves.  He really made some fun friends and wants to play again next year.

Tommy turned 1

With some family and some friends we celebrated Tommy's birthday.  He had a blast.  These pictures capture some of that.  We love you, Tommy.  Love, Daddy and Mommy.

She had a birthday, shout hooray

She had a wonderful day and loved her cupcake party.  She also had a family party a few weeks later.  Her personality is blossoming and she is sharing more of who she really is with others too.  Happy Birthday, Abigail we love you.

Happy Birthday to you, Bobby

Our sweet guy turned 5!  He is ready to be 5.  He spent the day at the firehouse, we had In -N- Out and cupcakes.  He got to wash the fire engine and "run a few calls".  He wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else with anyone else.  Thank you to all who could come celebrate and for all the birthday phone calls too.  We love you, Bobby.  Love, Daddy and Mommy

Beth & Aiden

SO, my cousin's husband, Tristan, had a birthday in November.  So the kids and I call to sing him happy birthday and he was hit with a FABULOUS idea as what to get her for Christmas.  He said "what do you think about Beth and Aiden coming to visit as her Christmas gift?"  I felt a little silly because really it was a gift for me and she didn't get a choice.  So he surprised her with tickets and she came at the beginning of the month.  WE had a blast.  I hope she and Aiden did too.  Here are a few pictures of our time together.

 The boys had a great time playing baseball outside and digging in the dirt.  Abby join the digging part and almost was hit with the bat a time or two.  We had wonderful weather while they were here.

 here the boys are flying their planes made by my Uncle Rick (Beth's dad and Aiden's Grandpa).  Bobby said that he makes "gooder" airplanes than you mom.

 Aiden passing out a million dollars to my mom.

Finally, a picture of us together... very rare.

P.S. Beth, if you are reading this... I really love you. I cherish the time we have to talk or text or email.  I love that we can communicate with our eyes.  I enjoy watching you as a mom and find it equally as wonderful to watch you as a wife.  Growing up I didn't have any expectations but if I did subconsciously you have surpassed them all.  You are amazing.  I hope that we can see each other soon.

Purex, again

Garbage Men Appreciation Day

I don't know if there is such a day that actually exists, however, we made up our own day.  From the time Bobby was really little we have watched the garbage trucks come and go every week.  If we are not home he is concerned that he will miss them.  He enjoys them so much that when he was younger and learning more sign language than he is now he made up his own sign for garbage truck.  If you haven't had the pleasure, soon you will be asked by Bobby what day does your garbage man come, and without fail he will remember and ask me 10 times if we can call and remind you to put out your cans? Abby and Tommy now enjoy them just as much.  I thought that these workers go all year without knowing how much our kids look forward to them coming and are truly sad when they miss them.  So, we made cookies and filled them in fun containers and waited patiently to pass them out.  Our Garbage men were troopers, one got out of his truck and thanked the kids, one other couldn't believe it was actually for him, and the last one just said thanks.

Our tree decorating

Meeting Santa

Bobby was a little hesitant but stayed strong, Abby wanted to hug and kiss him, and when it came down to it she crumbled.  Tommy lasted a little longer than I thought... seconds after this picture was taken it was all over for the two younger one.

OK, I'm gonna back track

Feeling a little guilty.  Thinking that when I do print this blog into a book my children will want to see some of the things we did for Thanksgiving.

The kids and me made a thankful tree for our neighbors next door, the Goldberg's.  They are awesome and our kids really like them.

We also made rolls to take to Grandpa and Grandma's.  Although we were going to work with Daddy we still spent some time there and then heading off for dinner.
