Jones Family: November 2009

Oh yeah...

I forgot to update about Jeff's school situation...

For now he is taking online pre-req classes for the MISM program. We are hoping to get into BYU or ASU. He will take the GMAT soon (December-ish) and the send in all of his applications. Applications aren't even due until like March, so it will be awhile before we find out where we are headed. For now we are staying in Texas until baby boy comes in April (or MAYBE March... :-) is that hopeful thinking? haha! Mckenna was 2 weeks early!) We will put our house back up for sale after the Holidays and if it sells we will most likely just rent here for a couple months!

In the mean time think good thoughts for Jeff!! We are hoping he gets a GREAT score on the GMAT :-)

Also, if I haven't talked to you in a long time- I am really sorry! I have been busy, but also just plain ol' pregnant (I know most of you understand that-ha!) I will call you one day...but until then sorry.....

Long Awaited Post....

I know it has been FOREVER since my last post. I have been very out of the blogging world- kind of on purpose and kind of because I have been BUSY! So here is a little update on the Jones Fam...

#1- Last Wednesday we found out we are having a baby BOY... I wasn't sure if I was ready for BLUE instead of PINK, but I am really excited now!

#2- Mckenna is growing up so much. She talks all the time and has even learned to say BROTHER which sounds more like "Blotha" (she even sticks her tongue out at the end-adorable!)

#3- Mckenna LOVES to be outside. Whenever we go to leave she runs to the front step and sits down. She doesn't want to get in her car seat she just wants to sit on the front porch!

#4- Mckenna is really good at throwing fits, but is CUTER than ever!!!!

#5- We put our Christmas tree up a whole week ago... YAY, I love Christmas!!!!! The bottom half is undecorated since Mckenna keeps pulling the ornaments down and playing with them, but it is still beautiful!

#6- I was in charge of our ward Fall Festival. It was a crazy time and I am glad it is over. Next up...CHRISTMAS PARTY! December 12th is coming WAY too fast. I am not quite ready it to come!!!

#7- We have been playing lots and lots with cousin Jax and best buds Chandler and Ryan. We went to the San Antonio zoo for the first time a couple weeks ago and LOVED IT. Mckenna's favorites were the MONKEYS! She thought they were so fun!

#8- We are excited for Thanksgiving--- Marty and Heidi are coming! YAY! I can't wait for cranberry salad. It is a Jones tradition that I have fallen in LOVE with! Much better than the traditional cranberry goo...

#9- A little pregnancy product review... I got a BeBand to help hold my pre-pregnancy pants (that used to be a little to big...and are still too big) up! They are supposed to help hold up pre-pregnancy pants once you go the unbuttoning trick (and hide the fact that they are unbuttoned..haha) and other helpful things through out pregnancy-woohoo! I absolutely love the thing!! Belts were getting too annoying :-). I think every pregnancy woman should get one! On this topic the other day at Gap I got 3 maternity dress, 5 maternity tops, a shirt for Mckenna and 3 books all for $50!! Woohoo! Usually maternity stuff is so expensive, so I was EXCITED!!

#10- I have been loving TLC's baby shows... A Baby Story and Birth Day... I guess there is something about being pregnant! I can't wait to have a little baby again- well I guess I can wait because it will be hard to have two, but it is EXCITING!!!

#11- Our lives aren't very exciting right now! Jeff goes to school and I play with Mckenna.... What a fun life :-)

Now For picture overload....
