The parties over

When almost everyone had gone home Keegan tuckered out. We thought he would be going for a long time after all the cotton candy he ate, but was sound asleep by 8:45. Sweet dreams sweetie.

Jones Family Potluck

This year's potluck was a success. We had a crowd of 43 people. We missed quite a few people but maybe next year won't be as busy for so many. Hopefully we can top 70 next year. Everyone needs to mark your calendars now for the last Saturday in December. We all enjoyed the bounce castle and eating cotton candy along with the tons of food and enjoyable company. We had Drew's family join us this year and hope that they can continue along with us each year for our traditional get together.

We want everyone to know how thankful we are for each member of our family and our friends. We have all been so blessed with a rich abundance in health and happiness throughout this past year. The knowledge of the gospel of Jesus Christ is so important in our lives. We want to wish each and everyone of you a Very Merry Christmas and an enjoyable and prosperous New Year.

Keegan got some new Lego's, Tiffany and Drew got the Bosch she was wanting and Shandraya got her bike. All of the rest of us got the things they were wanting also.

Christmas 2008

Christmas is truly for kids. It is so easy to buy too much for the little ones. Kierra seemed to be oblivious to anyone else once she opened up her things. She played quite contentedly all morning long. I think everyone had a good time and things seemed to run smoothly

Winter formal

Then we had Caleb go on his first date. It was to the schools winter formal dance. The girl that asked him is a real cute girl.

My mom and my niece came for a short visit. That is always a lot of fun to be with them.

Fun weekend

It started off with a bang. Colten got into a little car accident. He wasn't hurt other than a headache and a sore neck. The car isn't too bad.

I think I'm finally getting into Christmas. It has crept up on me so fast. We usually put the tree up the day after Thanksgiving and get the house decorated, but this year I have been really slow. Finally yesterday the decorations are up and the tree is done. The shopping is all done we just need to wrap things up now.

Beehive Recognition night

Shandraya sure had a lot of fun last night. For mutual it was a Beehive recognition night. It was at Sister Alston's house. She had everything set up so beautiful. It was a night to remember. The girls were asked to wear their prettiest dress and so Shandraya and Stephanie got out some fancy ones from the dress up tub. The girls and moms ate a delicious dinner and then the recognitions were made and then a gift exchange. You can tell by the pictures that all the girls looked beautiful.

My Three Grandkids

While Trevor was here Jeremy and Joanna were gone for a few days so Grandma and Grandpa got to have all three of the grandkids here together. It was so much fun with all of them. Life is great and grandkids are the best.

Bentley wasn't too sure about Tiffany's puppies

We sure enjoyed having Trevor and Bentley here for a few days in Nov. It's always fun when they visit.
