the beach...


we had a very fun day at the beach saturday...


some of brents friends were here this last weekend... so... spear fishing was a must...


kevin and his catch...

stingrays...

jones & i chilled on the beach while they got their catch...

the water is so nice right now... it is perfect!

oh.... and just in case you are wondering what it feels like to get stung by a jelly fish, you can now ask brent... see the big red blotchy mark on his upper back, shoulder blade... and yes, brent did put sunscreen on this time... however he still has his weird looking suntan...

lunch date...



friday we went to one of our favorite places for lunch... la palapa..



greek food in mexico... who would have thought...

love thursday...

i would like to call this "mothers bliss"...



today i was trying to put jones down for a nap and although i knew he was tired... he was not having it... then as i was holding him he just fell asleep and then i didnt want to put him down... every mother knows that feeling... and karen burr said it best... somethign like this... "when you finally get them busy doing somthing or entertained with something and you have a few moments to yourself... you then find yourself watch your child instead..." that was one of those moments... i loved it and cherished it!

a great travler...






jones is such a good travler!!! we had so much fun being in mesa and then in utah! two whole weeks of fun! we spent our first week in mesa and got to hang out with the martindale family almost everyday! then the second week we left for utah... it was my grandma and grandpa mikesell's 50th wedding anniversary party (feb. 14th was their official anniversary date)... it was so great to see family and for jones to meet a lot of family.



this picture is for ashley... i didnt get a picture with ashley, but of course i got a picture of jones while she is holding him...

...while away, jones had the chance to enjoy a bathtub... and loved it...



we were able to visit jaxon and watch spot with him on his HUGE bean bag chair...






parker read books to jones...

avery and rieley played with jones every second they could...

jam with gram... we had so many strawberries left over from the party so we made jam the next morning... yummy... i have already eaten 5 peanut butter and strawberry jam sandwiches in the 3 days we have been back...



we went to park city for the day to visit my aunt and uncle... we visited the farmers market there... they have some of the yummiest breads ever!!! i loved one with olives in it... so so good! then we went to this noodle and pizza place for dinner and they made their own noodles... i love homemade noodles they are so delicious... (alex and i in park city)



with breven...
with tina...
jones loved swimming this time... unlike the last time we took him swimming... this time the water was a lot warmer...
weird new thing... jones has to be teething... he will just start biting your jaw line... and hard... i would not consider these love bites... they hurt... and for some reason he likes doing it to my mom the most... crazy kid!

my mom bought jones a hawaiian shirt just like grandpa... so just before we left to come home we had to get a picture...



good and tired... ready to go home!
