Camping with My Fam! (More Pictures)

Here's the last of the pics from this vaca. It was so fun hiking, riding the 4 wheelers and the Go Cart. It was a nice relaxing get away from the real world. I love, Love, LOVE the mountains in Morgan, these pics do not do them justice!

Here are the munchkins on the 4 wheeler with Gramp.
(Mazzy, my Dad (Thayne), Bronson and Stryder.)The kids and me on our hike.

Mazzy being a monkey and climbing the quakie trees.

Like I said, these pictures do not do justice for how BEAUTIFUL it is up there.

Just a pic from the top of a 4 wheeling trail.

Camping with My Fam!

So I got home from our "kidless" Bear Lake Trip #3 (I will post later when I get the pics from my sis) and I was home for a day and left for Morgan with the kids. Ryan had to work so he couldn't come:( We went up to Hardsgrabble, which is the pretty side of the Wasatch mountains. It was so nice and relaxing for me and the kids had so much fun playing in the creek, the dirt, and hiking.

Here are the kids playing in the creek.

The kids were climbing up this really steep dirt part of the hill and they all took there turn falling or sliding down it. The picture does not do justice to how FILTHY and DUSTY they really were. They were not happy that I told them to quit playing on THAT hill!!!

Bear Lake Trip #2

Ryan's parents got in on all the fun at the fam reunion. It brought a smile to my face.Here we all are on the water weenie. Ry's dad Ray decided to give it a try after all the years he's pulled everyone else around on one. He made it for I think 6 rounds of dumping and climbing back on!

After the fam reunion we headed to a cabin at Bear Lake and met up with our friends, Brett, Jaycee and their cute kids, Bryce and Christi, and our good friend Rachael and her kids (she flew in from Colorado just to be with us), and Mark. We had a GREAT time!

Ryan was telling me something, when Mazzy jumped on his back and dunked him in mid sentence. It was kinda funny!

Jones Reunion at Bear Lake (Trip #2)

Ryan's "Jones" family reunion was up at Bear Lake this year. It was so fun! We stayed at the top of Logan canyon and left on Bronson's actual birthday. We went over to the Minnetonka Caves and went through the hour and a half guided tour. It was so cool. It is a constant 40 degrees in there. Also it is 444 steps in and 444 steps out.This is coming out of the cave.

This is Kermit the Frog's castle.

We brought up cupcakes for everyone to celebrate Bronson's birthday and sang to him. He thought it was pretty cool to have 2 birthdays this year.

Bronson through the Years

What more can I say...he is ADORABLE!!!! I can't believe how much he has grown and changed the past 5 years!

Here he is at a whopping 3 years old.

Brons (age 3) put on Mazzy's fairy wings, stood on the couch and said.."Me fly Momma" it was so cute! I'm sure he will love this pic when he's older!

Bronson's 4 year old pic that Ryan took.

This is his 5 year old pic that Ryan took, just a day before we buzzed his hair off!

Bronson through the Years

Here is my happy sweet little baby boy. He was usually ALWAYS smiling and doing something silly. He really was a good baby, he still is a good little boy!

This is one of the few pics I have of Bronson in his molding helmet. For those of you who do not know, he had a very bad flat spot on the back of his head, so they put this helmet on him for 3 and half months, 23 hours a day until it pushed his skull back to normal. He was a little trooper.

Bronson through the Years

On July 21, 2004 we were blessed with Bronson Ryan Jones. He was a true little miracle in our lives. It was not an easy time getting him here and keep him in till term. Everyday he has blessed us with his sweet personality. He is such a loving, funny, caring little boy. I do not know what I would ever do without him and his ADORABLE little dimples!

Even though he is 5 we are holding him back from Kindergarten. He is just not emotionally ready yet and still is working very hard on his speech. So he will be going to Preschool and Speech Therapy for this year and this should give him the extra time to feel comfortable with everything that school has to offer.

I am going to post a few more pictures of him, I can't get more than 5 pictures on my posts, don't know why, so I will move on to the next one.

My baby is 5?????

My little Bronson turned 5 years old on July 21. I can not believe how fast the time has gone by! It feels just like yesterday he was put in my arms! We had the whole family over for his annual water slide party, homeade raspberry ice cream, cake....what could be better? He got tons of Transformer things, Star Wars things, everything a typical little boy would want! It was such a fun day! Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate with him!!!


And yes, Sarah (my sister-in-law) and I had to give the slide a try! It was SPECTACULAR!

Bear Lake Trip #1, Part 2

We LOVE this place! The kids had the best time and you know if you have kids, if they are happy, you are happy! They love hanging out at the beach!
This is one of the BEAUTIFUL sunsets we got to enjoy! Great picture again Ry!

Maz and Dad surfin the waves!

Bear Lake Trip #1, Part 1

Well we have 3 trips to Bear Lake planned for this summer. This was the 1st! We went with the Hammerstrom family, of course! We had a BLAST!!!!!!

Here I am wakeboarding, not very good yet, but getting there! Still alot of fun though!
Can you believe how much air Ry can get?? And yes, he lands it the majority of the time!

This is Ryan and Brett's redneck fun when the water is too choppy to take the boat out!

4th of July Fun!!

Every year on the 3rd of July we head up to Eaglewood golf course and have fun with all the festivities going on! There are tons of things for kids to do! There is always a GREAT live band to listen and dance to and well, just a good time with family and friends. The kids had fun on all the obstacle courses and slides. They got cool face paintings and then enjoyed the AWESOME fireworks show at the end! It was a great 4th for us this year, very low key, but great company and fun!!!

Mazzy was brave enough to do rock climbing this year! I couldn't believe she did it!

Boating Anyone???

Wow, too much fun and not enough time to blog about anything.

A couple of weeks ago we went up to East Canyon and got my sis and her family and had a day of boating fun! We played ALL day long. We were able to get my 11 year old nephew, Kaden, up on the wake board! It was AWESOME because he told his mom, Misty, (my sis) that if he got up, then she would have to try. Well he did and she held true to her word. I don't have the video on here, but she eventually got up, well kinda. She wake boarded crouching down because she wouldn't stand up! It was HILARIOUS! I'll have to get it on here.
