Hello Again World!

It's been a while since I've blogged, but I have a good excuse...WE'RE EXPECTING BABY NUMBER 5!!! I didn't have the best first trimester, so blogging went bye-bye. But, in true Jones fashion, we again have waited a few months and now blogged with a gi-normous amount of pics. Hopefully we can keep up on it now.

P.S. We got our first snow today-a nice whiteout storm with some good inches on the ground. We actually made it through Halloween this year with no snow! Trick-or-treating was pleasant and now I'm actually excited for the goods!

Halloween

The coolest Scooby-Doo...

The cutest Strawberry Shortcake you've ever seen...

The craziest Ninja Turtle...

And the saddest pumpkin...

Russ was Thomas the Train and wore that to every house we trick or treated. We went with a bunch of families in our ward, and Russ kept attacking the kids and sticking it over their heads...Always good times with Russ...

I sported the pumpkin this year with Brett so he'd have a little moral support...

Carving pumpkins...the kids were not fans of taking out the seeds this year-notice Brock's face...He couldn't even muster up a smile for the camera...

Russ' first season coaching football


This was Russ' first year coaching football at MD high school instead of basketball. The Vandals had a rough season, but Russ was happy to coach. It's like he was giddy all season. The kids loved going to practice with Dad and seeing him at games...

The Fall in McCall

Some of our favorite family activities is the cutting, splitting, and stacking of the firewood for the winter. We went with cousins and friends and played all day getting wood in October...

The beginning and end to our happy day...

The Dads going to take care of business...

My little lumberjack doing his part






Russ working on some of our spoils in our backyard. There's something about my husband with a chainsaw...sigh...niiiiiiiice...

Brett stacking some wood in the garage. When we have family wood stacking days, we all work hard, then we go to Maverik for Icee's. It's amazing how the promise of an Icee can keep these kids working for hours!!

I Am Officially the Big 3-0!!

I don't really feel different breaking the 30 barrier...I still feel like I'm 19 until I talk to the teens in our ward and find out what year they were born-yikes! Russ & I went to dinner and my Mom made me a cake. Had a yucky pregnant day and didn't feel like doing much so it was perfect...

The Bus

Cody & Brett at their favorite time of day...running to meet the kids off the bus...
