What a special day!

Byron was baptized on the 4th. It was such a great day. He did really well and everything went so smooth. It was so fun to be with friends and family. Thanks everyone for so much support. I was kinda nervous for our oldest to take this step, because that means he's growing up and is a big boy now. We love you Byron!

We also gave my mom this quilt for her 60th birthday,  that my sister Liz put together. All of us siblings that have kids helped our kids do a square that represented each of them. It turned out so well. Thanks Liz!

All and all it was a great day that we will never forget.

Spending time with family is the bomb!

This last weekend we went up in the mountains by our house on our four wheeler and had a picnic by the beautiful fall leaves. It is one of my favorite things to do. Spend time with 4 of my favorite people and look out on our beautiful area. We are so blessed and live in such a beautiful place. The kids had a blast too. We went on a small hike and banged rocks together so the wild animals would know we were there. :)

Forgetful Jones

This morning Wes had an appointment about 2 hours away from our house. He got down there about 20 minutes away from the appointment at a gas station, he was out of gas. He realized he had forgotten his wallet. He called me and I seriously couldn't think of what to do. Luckily the gas station manager took our credit card over the phone. He drove all the way home and got his wallet, then drove all the way back. I had to teach, so I couldn't meet him. Poor thing.
Wes always says, "If it weren't for stupid mistakes, I wouldn't make any."

Getting ready for Halloween

The other day we went to Wal-mart and got some Halloween costumes. We like to buy our kids' costumes at least a month in advance, so they can wear them around the house. Byron's costume makes me laugh so hard! He looks so creepy. Lilly doesn't have her complete costume on in this pic. Just her wings. I think I will have her wear a pretty dress or something.

Stock up Now

I love this time of year, when produce is cheap. I have been stocking up and freezing corn, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and peaches.The other day I made some freezer jam with my sister too. I haven't had much time to can this year.  I love local affordable produce. If you haven't bought much, I encourage you to do so. Now is a great time to get a lot of bang for your buck.
