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....
Mckenna eating breakfast with Ms. Bear
We carved pumpkins. Mckenna thought the pumpkin guts were YUCKY!
Halloween Zebra! And this proves she LOVES sitting on our front porch!
Zebra Girl!
Happy Halloween
Jaxon and Mckenna- cute zoo animals!
We frosted sugar cookies and Mckenna looked liked this the entire time....yum!

QUESTION...
If you are family who got an e-mail from us to check out our new news then go to the next post!!!
So, lots of my blog friends having been going private lately. I haven't for several reasons, but one big reason is that like everyone else I occasionally stumble across a name on someone else's blog of a friend I once knew...I love to read (at least one) to see how people are doing. I think we all call this "blog stalking". I am totally a fan :-) My kind husband helped me make our blog unsearchable (so that you can't type our names into google and up pops our blog...if you are still not private I HIGHLY suggest turning that off!!!), and I feel pretty safe. I haven't seen random pictures of my baby anywhere or ever had weird people leave comments. My question to ya'll (Jeff accidently said this the other day when we were talking and he said "WE HAVE TO MOVE TODAY..." haha gotta love Texas!!!) is why did you make your blogs private? Have I just not heard any horror stories??? I really would like to know so that I can make the best decision for my family (and blog...) THANKS!!!

Jeff Has Been Busy
With his church calling...
Being a great dad and husband...
Helping out around the house...
Giving our yard some much needed attention...
Finishing some online classes...
BUT...
He is NOT busy with.... LAW SCHOOL......
That's right, no more law school for Jeff. After a year of HATING law school, a year of doing MBA prereqs and DREADING going BACK to law school, and then a lot of worrying about telling me (and our families) that he didn't want to go back to law school- we decided we should look into changing schools and career options. Better late than never, right? For a week we thought of all kinds of career options and considered the schooling that it would take to get to those careers. State Department, Optometry, IT, Orthodontics, Physicians Assistant, FBI agent, and the list goes on. We have finally decided on a path that we both feel GREAT about... getting a MISM degree (Masters in Information Systems Managment- basically information systems through a business school) with an eventual career in something like consulting! It feels really good to have finally made a decision and to have an end goal. Our first choice of schools would be BYU (because they have a great program and really high employment rates out of the program...yay!), but we are considering all sorts of schools. So, for now..... we are getting our house ready to sale! We don't really know when we will move right now, but we want to be out of our house and we will just rent in the area until we are ready to move from San Antonio. We just started this week. We went to Round Rock (just North of Austin) to hit up Ikea for a couple decorations and doors for our bookshelves. We have been de-cluttering rooms and taking down family pictures. It seems really weird, but I look forward to a new adventure for our family!!!
FOR NOW, if you know of anyone who is looking to buy a house in San Antonio point them our direction :-). If you have seen our house you know it is so cute, right? Haha!!!! And, if you ever want to come scrub floors, wipe down baseboards, plant flowers, pack up closets or paint--- COME OUR WAY :-)!!!! Company is always appreciated!
We will keep you updated.........

Just Another Day.... So We Thought....
Yesterday our family had a TERRIFIC day. We didn't do anything special, it was just a normal day! Let me back track a little, I have been seeing a Pulmonologist since I got pregnant with Mckenna (for asthma). The doctor is GREAT. He is super friendly and young. He has a cute little family (we saw them at Hobby Lobby once) and is very personable. Well, we had to switch insurance companies and my asthma is now considered a pre-existing condition- making it something they won't cover. I needed new prescriptions, so we decided it was worth it to just pay for an office visit.
SO, yesterday I went in to see him. During the course of the appointment I mentioned something about our insurance not covering my asthma any more. He finished checking my lungs and heart and then said "Well, I won't charge you for any of your appointments. You can always come see me and it won't cost you anything!" I was stunned. What is a person supposed to say to that. Who really has a doctor that just tells them they don't have to pay anything for their appointments. He said that they (him and his wife) were once poor students too and that he understands the situation. This couldn't have come at a better time for us! What a blessing!!!!
We were so happy leaving that office, but we had a couple errands to run. We had to return something to Babies R Us. We got out of the car and a lady stops us. She said "Are you going into Babies R Us". We answered and then she gave us a 15% off coupon that she didn't use and told us it expired today! We weren't planning on purchasing anything, but we were able to get 15% off of something we had originally purchase at full price (and will return the full priced one later!)
It was a normal day made GREAT by some very kind people! It was a good reminder that we receive great blessings when we are doing what is right!!!!!!!
