Bugs and fish

Guess who finally got his bug back? That's right... after 2.5 years we finally went and picked it up while we were in St George and brought it home. It still has a little work to finish up and then it will be drive-able. Greg couldn't be happier and we are all excited to get a ride... hopefully soon

For our Birthdays, My Mom got tickets for Greg and I to take the girls to Little Mermaid at the Tuacahn theater in St George. It was so amazing!!!
It had rained all day and we were so afraid the show was going to be cancelled but the only had to stop the show twice due to rain and then it was start right back up again. It was such an amazing show, it was well worth it. And the rain just made me feel like I was "under the water" it is Little Mermaid after all :)
Luckily we came prepared
We got to meet Kind Triton. And I was all prepared to wait in a huge line to meet Ariel and the girls both said they would rather go home and go to bed... I have crazy kids! But it was a long and FUN FUN day!
THANKS MOM!!!

And of course we couldnt leave St George without hiking.

Vegas Baby

We had a GREAT time in Vegas for Greg's Birthday. His birthday wish every year is to go visit his Brother and go to the VW bug show. Katie and Cherese stayed up really late one night making a yummy cake for Greg. Katie says "mom, we are on vacation don't worry about the time". She's right and she LOVES spending time with her Aunt- they made a delicious cake.
We also watched conference.... at least most of it
We got to spend time playing in the water enjoying the last of the warm weather. When we got home there was a cold front and the temps dropped to the 40's with snow.
Jessie did awesome the entire trip. But this picture totally cracks me up. Brielle apparently got the camera at some point. Poor little baby appears not to be happy. But overall she did wonderful and I have to say it is so nice to have the girls sitting back there with her. They help out so much getting her binki and keeping her happy.

Happy BiRtHDaY to ME

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the fall leaves. So for my birthday I decided to take my favorite people on a drive up the canyon, I couldn't have asked for a better day! :)

Random...

Its what LOVE is...
The school carnival was changed from spring to fall this year. I enjoyed it, the weather was GREAT and the girls as always had a GREAT time!

Our memories is all we'll have

One of Greg and I's first dates was to his family's cabin which at the time was just barely being finished. He told me about how his dad, brothers and him had built much of the cabin over a few years. We had so much fun riding on the 4-wheelers on these long trails that I was sure were lost several times. Since then we have spent a lot of time at the cabin with family and friends and have made lots of special memories that I will always cherish. Unfortunately his Dad recently sold the cabin and so we went up for one last family get together at the cabin. It was pretty sad to think that we won't be going up there again. We LOVE the cabin and will miss it! :(
I hope my kids will remember the cabin. I wish Jessie could have enjoyed it more ;)

Thanks for the memories Jones'

1 month already!


Jessica LOVES being on her belly, she prefers to sleep this way and she always does the cutest things with her arms and hands! Usually her little bum is sticking up in the air like a little stink bug.
I can't believe she is now a month old! crazy how time is going so fast. My days (and nights) are spent just holding her and kissing her cute little cheeks. I am getting nothing done and I feel like my life has come to a screeching halt but I am not complaining. I LOVE every minute!

I'm not sure what her current stats are but at 2 weeks she weighed 8lb3oz & was still 21". I think she is getting so much chubbier and probably is closer to 9lbs by now. CRAZY!!! She has been a pretty good baby, and up until the last few days never hardly fussed at all. I think she is either getting a cold or allergies because her nose is stuffy and it is making it hard for her to breath. She is waking up lots more at night and is just not as happy as she has been. But even with that she is still so sweet and cute! I don't mind the night time, its peaceful and quiet and I like that time with her but I wish I could keep myself from falling asleep in the chair!!
The girls are constantly holding her when they are around, and she actually rarely fusses for them. The time that they are at school is also nice but I miss my girls when they are gone! I wish they could be home all the time but they are happy at school.

1st day of Kindergarten

Oh man, I can't believe this day is finally here. My sweet baby Brielle started school today. Its crazy how fast the time has flown!! Kindergarten is the beginning of new fun adventures for her but I can't help feel sad that she is branching out and will no longer be in my little bubble. She was a little nervous this morning but when she saw all her cute friends she was all smiles. I will miss her so much when she is gone but I know she is going to have a fun time! She is in Mrs Nelsons class and she is an amazing teacher. She has some great friends in her class and I know she is going to have a GREAT year! Love you Miss Brie ♥


Ellie, Makenna, Morgan, Izzy, and Brielle (all girls from our ward)

Mrs Nelson and Brielle. Such a great teacher, I'm so excited!
Brielle and her buddy Morgan are in the same class, I'm so glad she is such a cute girl :)
