one of the first things jones said to me when we walked outside while visiting arizona...
"its too hot mom"
but it was worth it to see family and friends...
eating cookies with cousins at karen and jareds house...

thank goodness we left the valley heat and went north for a family reunion in pinetop/lakeside...
7/12/2010-7/14/2010
we had so much fun with all the family that could make it... only two siblings didnt make it... brent for obvious reasons and tami for unfortunate reasons... she found out that day that she was having a miscarriage...

have i mentioned how much i love this family!
how did i get so lucky to have married into an amazing family!
we had so much fun... oh wait i said that already!

(brents moms side of the family)

thanks to shauna... i didnt have to get my camera out once... sorry you had to be our profesional photographer every second of every day!... but i just love how much better your pictures turn out... you are amazing!

it started with jumping...
it will end with jumping...
jumping on our first day there...
cant get enough of the balloons and loved the attention while running around...
i promise that i hardly saw this kid... he had so much fun playing with every cousin he found... he loved to just "go into the forrest to find dinosaurs"
his words... not mine...
i had fun laughing at everyone while we played minute to win it...
if you dont know what this is you should/need to look it up right now...
you tube...
google...

hanging out with hyrum...
with karen...
with the horses...
he has no fear... just loves them...
we went on a hike one day and marla taught us that pondarosa pines smell like vanilla...

pine cone races under the bridge...
ok... time to look up another show... saturday night live...

please watch here to laugh...
.......
then the last day... shauna thought up a genius idea for picture taking...
she brought props and then made the "photo booth" seen below... she took hundreds of pictures of everyone! it was so much fun... here are a few...
rachel, shauna, me
karen
karen
jones, rachel
shauna, me

this is how we celebrated!!!
we had a carmel apples for lunch...
cupcakes for dinner...

jones was a little nervous at first...

who doesnt love sparklers...
and now you can ask him what a firework does...

strawberry fields forever...

jones is obsessed with letters... he would not go disneyland until he stood in front of every 'california' letter.... which meant that he was accidently in many peoples pictures that we did not know...

:::::::
waiting for ruby's diner... yum! why do they have the most delish burgers? and shakes... and fish and chips...
playing with car menu and brachiosaurus...
crazy people catch crazy sharks... it was our entertainment while waiting for our food and eating at ruby's... i think they said it was a sand shark... jones was so scared in the picture... he thought the shark was going to get him...
