Temple Square & Enduro Cross

Last year for Christmas My parents gave my family tickets to Celine Dion in Salt Lake well turns out Celine got sick so she rescheduled for Feb. on a Sunday???Don't worry I'm over it now but at the time I was really mad at Celine! We waited a year to go!!!ANYWAYS! My family decided since we all had Friday off we'd go up to the Gateway and Temple square.So Thursday night Paul and me left St. George at 9 got to Nephi at 12 the drive wasn't bad at all. Friday morning we got up and played some basketball...Don't worry I beat Mckel and Paul in a game of Speed! Then we left for SLC. We went to the Gateway first then walked over to Temple Square. Then we went to the movie Madagascar(way funny it was my second time seeing it!) The whole day was a BLAST!! I love being with my family there is never a boring moment! The lights at Temple Square weren't up yet so I'm going back when I go home for Christmas:) Saturday morning Paul had to be home for a 3 on 3 basketball tournament at 9 so we left Nephi around 5 thirty! His team got second out of 15 teams! Go Paul!:) We left for Vegas around 5:30 to go to the Enduro Cross. If you have never been you should definitely go! It was Awesome! That's my fun weekend for you!!! Sunday I was dead tired:) It was all well worth it!

....My Family....

Here he is MY HERO ha ha oh he'd die if knew this picture was on here...but I had to! I found this quote and it fits my dad perfectly because I hope one day my husband treats me like my dad treats my mom. "The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother." I love you Dad:)

Jaren, Mandee and Jayden.

"Having a sister is like having a best friend you can't get rid of. You know whatever you do, they'll still be there."

Mike, Mckel, Avia and Madix.

"While we were born Sisters, we grew up to be Best Friends."

“When it hurts to look back, and you're scared to look ahead, you can look beside you and your best friend will be there.”

"After a girl is grown, her little brother- now her protector - seems like a big brother." Jordan would kill me if he knew I put this picture on here because we look like we're getting engagement pictures:) Nope brother and sister!

"While we try to teach children all about life, Children teach us what life is all about." This my favorite picture of Jaden, Avia, and Madix. They were sick of taking picture at this point...as you can see Avia was done smiling:)

...My Parents...

“If you raise your children to feel that they can accomplish any goal or task they decide upon, you will have succeeded as a parent and you will have given your children the greatest of all blessings.”My parents are my best friends! They have definately succeeded as parents. I love them both so much and I don't know where I'd be without them!

"Families are like fudge, mostly sweet with a few nuts."

Dancing in the Rain

“And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow.”

My roommate and Amazing friend Tierra were driving home from church and it was pouring. In our house we have this quote on the wall "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass its about dancing in the rain" So we decided to go dance in the rain!

“I'm singing in the rain, just singing in the rain; What a wonderful feeling, I'm happy again.”

"A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart, and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words."

Mal and Me:)

"A friend is one who believes in you when you have ceased to believe in yourself."

Elder Jones has arrived safely in the Hawaii Honolulu Mission, he has been assigned to his first area and companion and is off and running! Look how cute and happy he looks! The mission president e-mailed the family this picture letting us know he made it there safe! I can't wait to get a letter!!!!

Elder Jordan Gary Jones

Jordan left for Hawaii yesterday morning...He got to call before he left! Our family was SO excited to talk. My mom had the phone in her hands when the phone started to ring she was so excited she just kept saying It's him! It says pay phone! After three rings we all were freaking out saying answer it! She finally did:) It was SO good to hear his voice and to know that he is loving every minute of his mission already. I'm so proud of the choice he has made to serve the lord. He already has changed so much in three weeks...I can't wait for him to get to Hawaii and touch the peoples hearts like he has touched mine. Its going to be a rough LONG two years for my family and I but for him its going to fly by fast. I wouldn't want him any other place! I can't wait to talk to him on Christmas! We love you Jordan:)
