we had so much fun! we drove to arizona so we could meet my family and then to utah... but before we left my mom made her amazing caramel corn... and i just had to taste some... she caught me sneaking it... shes got eyes like a hawk! 6/9/2010
then who could not take a picture... or at least a double take of my brother as we drove to utah... ok so he didnt really wear these the whole way... just thought it would be fun for a short while... 6/10/2010
then we made it to my grandparents cabin... that little cabin is the house the my grandpa grew up in for the first few years of his life. yes... it is as small as it looks! i am... 1- so happy that we are able to actually see the house that he grew up in and 2- touched that it is so small and that they had very very little and survived... makes me always think of how much i have! we live in such a world of excess compared to then... 6/11/2010
i hate spaghettios... brent loves them... lets just say that jones is so much more brent than me in a lot of ways... i laughed so hard that he loved these... my aunt tells her boy that they are lightening mcqueen tires... so now jones asked for "mcqueen tires"... 6/12/2010
i also can never stop laughing at my grandpa... this is his salad... he hates salad... thats why there is no salad... just toppings... and very sparse at that... 6/13/2010
but then here is his dessert! he loves dessert... but dont worry he shared! and yes... i took a picture of both of his plates before he ate... and he just laughed at me... love you gramps 6/13/2010
jones decided that he loved the rock fountain... i think he was trying to clean his feet??? 6/15/2010
you would think that this wasnt very comfortable to watch tv like this... but he stayed like that for quite a while... 6/17/2010
we went to discovery gateway @ gateway in salt lake city... so fun! jones would not leave the "tractor" he drove it around the whole second floor!... 6/18/2010
finally he let the tractor go so we could go to the third floor for some more fun.... we built a block city... then you turn on a switch to see what happens to buildings during an earthquake... such a fun place! 6/18/2010
when "the boys" (brevin and harrison) have too much energy my grandma tells them to "go throw pine cones"... so we collected pine cones and then throw them over the hill... jones thought it was so so so fun! we had to do it everyday after that... 6/18/2010
because we were so close to the temple when we went to gateway... we had to stop by the temple for a quick visit... i love the salt lake temple... my brother brandon took this picture with his phone... so beautiful! 6/18/2010
we enjoyed seeing my newest cousin... baby cason... jones just kept telling every "oh... cute" the whole time... 6/19/2010
we met my cousins baby girl harlow... she is so cute! already 9 months! jones loved playing with my cousins! 6/20/2010
i have found a few need hobbies lately... gardening and preserving foods... and as always recipes for baking/cooking something new... i talked both of my grandmas ears off and got many new ideas and tips... this is one flower from my grandma c's garden... 6/20/2010
on our drive home from utah to cali... we stopped in st george... our stake has the theme of turning your life toward the temple... so we have been talking about the temple a lot at home and jones gets so excited when we do... so i thought it would be fun to stop at another temple and he could see another very different temple in person... i love how vivid the colors are... such green grass and vegetation... a perfect blue sky and a beautifully white temple... we enjoyed running around and stretching our legs... 6/21/2010
and jones can find a bridge or a tunnel no matter where we are... he found this tunnel just outside the visitors center of the temple... 6/21/2010
well "thats a wrap" of all my phone pictures... i have a ton more of our fun adventures... coming soon... plus i have to catch up on all our fun since we returned home!
happy fourth of july!!!
