This weekend I flew to Virginia for a little Amy and Chace time. It was great. Amy is just starting to show...at 16 weeks and needed some maternity clothes. So it was time to shop! We had great success the first day and found a ton of cute clothes. She is really glad to be comfortable:) We had a great birthday dinner at a really wonderful restaurant that they chose. We were able to eat outside and enjoy the great weather. Chace is studying for his CPA so Saturday we were off again to get mani and pedi's and more shopping. Amy was able to find some really cute home decor for her apartment. Thanks Chace for being such a good sport. She chose some really great things and it was so fun. We met up with Katie and Bryce and Tyson that night for a great time. It was so fun to see their apartment and them again. I am so glad they are so close. Fun times. I had to come home this morning which was sad but I really needed some Jones time. Thanks for a wonderful weekend. It is so nice to feel needed and appreciated. I love you guys!

Houseboat 2010 May

Ann, Gayle and Linda enjoying the sunshine and Curt manning the boat! Wahoo!

Lake Powell house boat

Well we were going to buy a car but then we changed our minds. Look out! Yes Curt and I bought a share of this house boat. We took it on a maiden voyage last week with some great friends and Scott and Val...they bought it with us. It was awesome! I am so excited to take everyone on our little piece of heaven!

Funny Story of the year

So funny story of the year. Breann walks into the bathroom at school and sits down in the stall. She hears a voice next to her say "Hello". So not wanting to be rude she replies, "Oh, hello" The voice then says, "How are you today?'"She says Oh pretty good can't complain" then the voice says "Oh thats good so what are you up to?" Then Breann said "Uh well just going to the bathroom..." To that the voice replied. "Um I am going to have to let you go the girl in the next stall thinks I am talking to her." At this point Breann pulls her feet up and hopes she is never recognized.

So this is the delema, does one pee when talking to someone in the bathroom? What do you think?

Grandparenthood is a great thing!

The halloween party!

Here is the group shot. Buma's as the bad witch and the good witch, Casadays as an umpa lumpa and willy wonka, Us as mr and mrs potato head, Landgrens as the square dancers, Morgans as Hippies, Wards as Dalmation dog and Cruella Deville, Fishers as Gypsies.

We made such a cute couple don't you think?

And yet we still didn't win.

Bob in a dress as the good witch from wicked took it hands down.

The south beach diet

Okay so here is a little update as to what has been happening. Curt and I were inspired by Lori O to go on the South beach diet. The first two weeks were aweful! Yes Lori I was cursing your name. But now we have moved on to phase two and well we feel human again. At this point Curt has lost about 11 lbs. I have lost 9. So I am really feeling good about things. My pants actually fit again and the dreaded muffin top is beginning to diminish! The kids laugh as we eat whole wheat soft shelled tacos but I get to laugh when I get on the scale.
The other thing we have done is sold all our bedroom furniture even the twin beds we have been using for the past couple of months...I fondly call our room the ghetto room. Curt is painting it and we are sleeping in the guest room...which by the way is quite nice. We will soon be getting our new bedroom furniture and we will graduate from the ghetto! I am really excited.
We have had some awesome vacations this summer. I will post some pictures of the latest one to bear lake! It was great fun! I want to go back! Now I get to take Alyssa for shots to go to Jr. High and get her registered. She is sooo excited. Life just can't get any better don't you think?
