New Family Addition

Meet Zeke, the newest member of the Jones family. He is a lab puppy, only 7 weeks old. Jeff and I have loved watching he and the kids play together, Andrew really loves him.

Sara Is officially walking!

Hollywood here we come!

Is it really time? I can't believe my baby girl is walking and climbing on the rocking horse all by herself. She is such a cutie. She is still a bit wobbly, but she gets around just fine.

Zoo and Visit with Nana and Papa David

I think this lizard liked Andrew.

A couple of weeks ago we went to the zoo. The "Birmingham Zoo" per Andrew. Nana and Papa David were in town for a visit. They all went to McWayne Center Friday, but I wasn't there to take pictures. We had such a good visit, it is always fun when they come.

Keith, Trisha and Layla met us at the zoo. As you can see we have a cute couple on our hands. We all think Layla is so beautiful. Andrew is pretty handsome too. They always play so well together.

It was a fun filled day.

Sara's 1st Birthday

Sara had such a fun birthday party. I think everyone enjoyed themselves. We had waterslides and a baby pool for all of the kids to play and stay cool. We had BBQ for lunch, thank you uncle Joel for smoking the meat and thank you Aunt Annette for the wonderful potato salad.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to Nanny and Maw Maw for letting us have the party at your house and for all of your help.

I think it is safe to say Sara likes cake. She dug right in and had iciing from head to toe.

Happy 1st Birthday my little one!

Beach Vacation 2009

Crazy friends Brian & Anne
FAMILY

This was a dificult photo shoot, hungry kids. I think a couple out of

several turned out ok, we had a few silly shots too.

Our precious little ones, they can be so angelic at times.

Beach Beauty,

she loved the sand and had so much fun.

Nanny had fun with the grandkids too. She got some much needed rest.

We rented a pontoon boat in Destin and rode out to crab island

for the day on Thursday. We had a great time playing and eating ice cream.

Brian & Anne, Keith & Trisha, Big'N

A dad next to us on the beach dug up this big crab, Andrew loved

chasing the other kids with it. He doesn't seem to be afraid of much.

I am not sure if this is good or bad.

We had fun crabbing at night.
We caught a few, but they were pretty hard to find.
Dinner with friends.

My little cutie, she is so much fun to watch.

Our condo had a water park in the pool area, so Andrew

thought it was Visionland (aka Alabama Adventure)
That's where he wanted to be at all times.

Andrew chasing the waves.

Our week went by toooo fast, I needed 1 more week.

We had a great time, and made many memories.

They grow up too fast.

Rachel's Wedding

So we went to our friend Rachel's wedding this past weekend at Brackner park,

close to Tannehill. The wedding was beautiful, outdoors. It rained a whole lot this past weekend, which make for a lot of mud, which my child couldn't refrain from. I have never been so embarrassed, as my child was muddy from head to toe by the time we left in his white dress pants. It was nice.... real nice.

He probably will not make the next wedding I attend.

Beach at Lock 17

Andrew and Luke having a ball.
We went to the state park at Lock 17 on the Warrior River a couple of weeks ago.
You can camp out there, they have a beach area and picnic area.
Sara loved the sand and water (very cold water), so I don't expect any
problems when we go to Florida.
We had a fun day, I'm sure we will go there again soon.

Happy 13th Birthday Kristle

We also had Kristle's birthday while Nana and Papa David were here.

It was at Tannehill Park, another gorgeous day to be outdoors, we had much fun.

The kids loved playing in the creek.

Happy 13th Kristle, I can't believe you are a teenager now, time flies.

We love you bunches!

Nana & Papa David's Visit

Precious baby girl in her sun hat. She loves the water and isn't afraid at all.

Andrew more adventurous this year.

We miss Nana and Papa David when they go, we really enjoyed our visit.

Peek-a-boo

Sara peeking through her bed, she is so darn cute.

She is so inquisitive too, if she hears something she wants to know what it is.

Hanging out with Layla

We went over and cooked out at Keith and Trisha's a few weeks ago.

Andrew and Layla are like brother and sister. They always have so

much fun playing together. They will hate us one day for these pictures.

Sara did really well in the tub with the big kids.

End of Year Celebration!

This was the end of the year program for kindergarden.

Mrs. Pat Dixon was Andrew's teacher this year, she is such a wonderful teacher.

We will miss her so much next year, Andrew loves her so much.

Happy Birthday Luke!

Luke and Andrew are best buddies, they were born a day apart.

We had a great time celebrating his birthday.

Sara loved the birthday cake, thanks Nanny!

Tee Ball

Our first season is over, we really enjoyed tee ball.

I can't believe how fast Andrew is learning and growing,

we enjoy him so much and can't imagine life any other way.

This is Jacob (Ashton and Allie's cousin), Ashton, Allie, Andrew and Sara.

Andrew's 4th Birthday

Andrew's party was so much fun. It was a perfect day to be outdoors, the kids played and played. It was a baseball theme so we had a baseball pinata, a lot of fun, and wiffle ball for the little and big kids to play. I think this was the funnest party yet!

Our first pinata and probably not the last.

We had a inflatable, fun for all ages, it is always great to see everyone and

let the kids play together.

Time for cake and ice cream, yummy!

Andrew celebrated at school with his friends. He wanted

blue cupcakes for the boys and pink for the girls. I thought

that was very thoughtful of him.
