In Other News!

On Friday Jeff watched Mckenna while my friend, Jessica, and I went to a matinee showing of TWILIGHT It was great. Of course movies are never as good as the books, but it was pretty close! I feel like I need to read the book again though :-).

The sad part about our little girls movie was that I got a speeding ticket (my VERY first one) on the way to the movie. I guess I was too excited to get to the movie theater. I was so confused when the cop pulled me over, I didn't even think he was pulling me over! I was so sure he couldn't be pulling me over because I hadn't done ANYTHING wrong. Well, I was going down a hill and was speeding (I knew I was speeding a little, but he told me I was speeding A LOT!!!) I was so sad. I didn't even cry until I called Jeff to tell him- then I couldn't help but cry (does any one else have that reaction...cry only when they hear their husbands voice?) So, I have to go to court (or I can go to traffic school) on Dec. 10th. That is the day before we go to Europe.... as soon as I think of that then I think oh well about the ticket and

HELLO PARIS and MOM/DAD JONES!!! The count down has started. We leave to go to Europe in 18 days! We are so excited!!!

Jeff is doing really well. He has been really busy with his calling for church (he is the executive secretary). They have been doing tithing settlement, so he is a busy man. He is also trying to sell our Corolla and is VERY excited to drive the new truck home next week (well a week from Monday).

We head to Arizona on Tuesday and are very excited to hang out with family!!! We get to spend Thanksgiving with my family, but I will be brother-less this Thanksgiving (Robby is on a mission in Australia and Tyler just got a new job and will have to work on Thanksgiving day--don't be too sad for him this is a great opportunity for him and he gets to eat Thanksgiving with my Grandparents). I am excited for Turkey day...yummmmm!!!

Well, that is about it for us! Hope everyone is doing well!!!

She is getting HUGE...

After we got our new camera I had to do some "photo shoots" with Mckenna. I love this picture of her, but she looks SO big.

Garden

This summer Jeff helped me plant two tomato plants on the side of our house where the air conditioner drips (last summer we just had a huge watery mess on that side of the house). The tomatoes got over water, so the plants grew as tall as me!!! We have had a few tomatoes, but the other day I walked outside and there were about 15 ripe tomatoes. They were all pretty small, but they looked absolutely amazing. I pick them and then had to take a picture for the blog  Now I want to try a few more plants for next year. Any suggestions?

Look What I Made...

I learned how to make tutus at a craft group that I go to sometimes. After learning that way I came home and did a little research of my own and figured out how to make these really cute tutu dresses. On Etsy there was a woman selling a pumpkin tutu dress as a Halloween costume. I showed it to my older sister and she loved it, SO guess what her girls were for Halloween? PUMPKINS!!! I made all three of them the same Pumpkin tutu dress (and a friend of my sister made the bows) and they looked absolutely adorable!!!!! If anyone is ever interest (or knows someone who is/would be) in having a tutu dress or tutu made let me know!

Kamryn, Anndi, Hadley
PS... The girls even won a costume contest at the ASU East Campus Boo Bash!!! Isn't that awesome?

Mckenna Pop Art

Bright colors were freaky, so this is what we got. Isn't she ADORABLE?

FINALLY!

We got our NEW camera- WOOOHOOO! After our old one was broken, sent to be fixed under warranty, damaged in shipping, lost, and no one could help us find it- we got the replacement last weekend. I have been really wanting a DSLR camera, so we returned the new camera (a newer, nicer model of our old one) and bought a Canon Rebel! I LOVE IT! Of course you can always go bigger and better, but I am so happy with this camera (and it takes really great pictures!!)

Anyway, there may be picture overload in the next few days, but I am sure not too many people will complain!

Birth Announcement

I thought I would finally post Mckenna's birth announcement. I made it ALL on Photoshop (are you proud of me?..haha) She is getting SO, SO big and is getting cuter every day. Today I subbed and when I got home I couldn't wait to hold her. We snuggled and played for awhile and it made me think how grateful I am to have her in my life! Babies are wonderful (almost as good as husbands-- well they are both pretty amazing just in different way!!!)
