Jones Family: August 2009

California Fun!

2nd stop on our never-ending road trip---Lincoln CA.

We had a blast staying at my sister, Melinda's house. I don't think we did anything besides swimming and eating--what a vacation!! My sister Sarah, drove with me out to CA from UT, so that saved me!!! We were lucky to have her. Mike ended up flying out for the weekend and hangin out with us too! He and the kids had never been there before, so it was fun to have them see her place and all 6 of her cats. My kids couldn't get enough of her cats, funny thing is that we never saw half of them because they were scared off from my kids squeezing them all the time. They love cats, so they were in heaven! Thanks Melinda and Staci for a great weekend in CA!

Charly had no fear there and was jumping off everything

We're still trying to teach Drake to get rid of the nose plug

Charly with Melinda and Dustin

Wesley is very proud of his trick--supposedly he's flexing, but I don't think he realizes his muscles and everything else disappear. Too Skinny!

Happy Birthday to my sweet little girl. We had a big celebration in Utah with a lot of her cousins at Aunt Natalie's house. She was so excited that the big day finally came, she had been counting down forever. She is finally a big girl--potty trained and all!

Our lovely little Princess!

Halle and Charly decided to try out her new make-up

We'll have to give her a few lessons when she's older.

So Beautiful!!

Charly is such a sweet little girl--when she wants to be, but has recently realized how to throw major fits. We always tell her to find her smile when she's grumpy and thank goodness it helps most of the time. She's a crazy lady--that girl. She is such a big girl now and makes sure she reminds me of that all the time. We love our sweet Charly and don't know what we would do with out her. She is especially excited to be a big sister in Mar. She thinks it's a girl, but she won't be able to find out until Mar since we are going to have a suprise this time--wahoo!!!

Aspen Grove

Thanks to my wonderful Grandma Andersen, we enjoyed another fabulous week at Aspen Grove this year. This is all the Huber Grandkids with Grandma Andersen---what a cute little lady! We love you Grandma! The kids had so much fun with all their cousins and the adults enjoyed a lot of free time and relaxing---What a great reunion! I think we had 150 of us total with all my Grandma's kids and their kids and their kids---craziness!!!
