Let's try this again

Everyone knows I have such good intentions with this blog, but this time I hope to actually land on the bandwagon and not just jump.


Here are a few pictures to keep our far away friends up to date.

Cody is, well, 3. He has his moments of perfection and then reality hits and he acts his age. He is my shadow and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Alex is 5 1/2 and loves anything that creeps or crawls (we are on our 3rd & 4th lizards). He just finished his first season of T-ball and can't wait until next season.























Shea is 6 1/2 and a budding gymnast. She is constantly doing cartwheels and hand stands. Noone is safe when she is around.

Two down, one to go

Shea and Alex are at CampNanaPaca this week and so Cody and I are definitely having a little one on one time. It is amazing how obedient he is without anyone prodding him along and using him as a scapegoat for all the wrongdoings that seem to clutter our lives. So, with Shea and Alex MIA, Cody and I have a very open social schedule. We are at Grandma and Grandpa's house in Utah, but Grandma and Grandpa are in Europe so Cody and I are literally, alone. What do I do in a house that is clean? With no laundry to do? With no dishes to wash? When it is 100 degrees outside? How do I fill the moments? Well, let's see. We have watched Go, Diego, Go a thousand times. We have watched the Wiggles, The Big Red Car a million times. We have completed the set of four Spiderman puzzles at least 20 times each. I must say, the kid has a knack for puzzles. I have come to appreciate his personality and his unique spirit. He is a very intuitive little boy that loves a good adventure but also keeps mom within sight. I catch him watching me out of the corner of his eye. I wish I had a week alone with each of my kids. Everyone needs a little one on one every once in a while. Here is the gold at the end of the rainbow. We saw an ice cream shop tonight and Cody asked if we could go there someday. I said sure, thinking this was the best idea he'd had yet. His reply was: "Not until Shea and Alex get home." He misses them as much as I do. I know they are having the time of their lives, but I miss them just the same. Do they miss me??? Probably not.

This is just the begining...

Well, here I go. I am finally jumping on the bandwagon. Every family in America, well actually the world, has a family website to show off their wonderful families and share life's tragedies and triumphs. So with much anticipation, here come the Jones'!
