Ashley's Baby Shower

The women in Ashley's ward threw her a baby shower.  The decoration and colors were in gray, white, and coral.  There was even gray and white chevron print on the table linens and Ashley's friend made her a gray, white, and coral chevron print blanket.  The company was great and it was fun to celebrate the upcoming arrival of Baby Girl Jones.  It was also fun that because Syd and Eme are older now they can participate in these fun occasions.  It was fun to have 2 out of 3 sister-in-laws there and to be together for the celebration.  My mom sent a cute dress and sweatshirt.  We missed Karim and Grammy, but look forward a much needed Jones family reunion next Christmas!

Valentine's Day

The Sunday before Valentine's Day, Eme and Dane set out to do her homework assignment for preschool - make a Valentine's Day box.  It reminded me of my elementary days and what fun I had creating boxes for Valentine's back in the day.  Because Dane is the creative genius in our family, he was quickly recruited.  Eme had a great time and Easton wasn't going to be left out so he created a box all of his own to put his animals in.  The kiddos received fun plasma cars from Grammy and Poppy and our house is so loud, but all I hear (for the most part) is loud laughter with lots of requests for racing.  It is the first thing Easton asks for in the morning.  Eme had a party at her preschool that family was invited to attend.  There was yummy food, face painting, frosting a cupcake/cookie, and a craft that involved stamping red hearts onto paper with a stencil.  East and Em had a great time.  Easton can't wait to go to preschool in the fall.  Dane and I made it to the temple the Saturday before Valentine's day and got a quick bite to eat.  It was fun to be together in as special a place as the temple.  It is wonderful to be able to get away from the world for just a brief moment.  Hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day!!!

What's Up....

Pajama Day and Pizza Party

At Eme's preschool they had a day where you were to wear you favorite pajamas and eat pizza.  Eme wore her peacock jammies.  She said it was fun to eat lunch and go to school in her jammies.
