What we've been up to...

This post is way out of order and full of random things that we've been doing lately...
We went to the BYU vs. Nevada game. Sadly BYU hasn't been doing very good...but we still bleed BLUE!!

Connly watched these little boys behind us like this most of the time lol




True Cougar fans right here;)

I love this little guy SO much...
A visit to Grandma Donna and Grandpa Ted's











Conference Weekend
We spent the weekend in Nephi at my parents...16 more days and ELDER JORDAN JONES WILL BE HOME!!!!!!!!!!! So we got down to business on Sunday and made a ton candy lays for everyone to wear when we got pick him up at the airport:)
Madix's birthday balloons have been stuck in the fan and he noticed them up there and was asking me and my dad if we would get them down...we told him we could reach them. A few minutes later here he comes with this little latter in hand and he was trying so hard to reach them! hahaha Paul, my dad and me got a good laugh...
Saturday night while the boys were at priesthood we got a movie and played with the kids...Mckel and me went to get treats and we came back and found Mandee outside with all the kids reading books on a blanket...we thought it was so cute Mandee:) P.s. I think Mandee deserves the best Pregnant girl award...She will have her baby in a couple weeks and I swear I have not in the last 8 months heard her complain one time!!!!

Avia's Aunt Kenzie is the Saratoga springs high school's drill team coach and this last week Av did mini drill at that high school so Friday night we went and watched Avia dance.


Before we left for the game we played outside for a little while...the weather was so nice. Wish we had a yard to play in:)
Trying out his shoes:) lol he does walk in his walker he runs:)
Girls Night!
Mckel told the kid that took our picture that it was our first time to Cafe Rio lol he could not believe it!After we ate We went and listened to Nie Nie speak at BYUThere were SOOOOO many people there. Lucky for us we got there a early and got way good seats! She is an amazing lady that has been through so much and I could listen to her speak all day. The spirit was so so strong. Amazing.
CRAZY HAIR DAY

FaMILy Reunion-Cali

We went to California for The Connolly/Hogue Family Reunion this was the first time and we really hope that we can keep this tradition going! This post is super late we went in AUGUST! Enjoy a TON of fun pictures! We did a lot of driving and this DVD player was awesome to entertain this little man!Thanks Mandee for letting us take yours(Santa will be bringing Connly one for Christmas if he's a good boy!)


We made it to Rachel's house in Cali. We ate yummy food and just hung out for the night.

This was the first time that Sam's family and Carolyn's family met Connly!!




The next morning we had our family pictures taken... We should be getting CD of the pictures and when I do I'll post to show you how cute they turned out:) but until then here is a few of just us hanging out during pictures




After we went to the beach


Hung out, had some lunch and played in the sand:)



Grandma Genny held Connly while me and Paul went and got our swimming suits on..Isn't she just the cutest little grandma!?



It got a little windy at the beach so cam back to the hotel and swam






The next day was..
DISNEYLAND


Carolyn and he kids we're in the parade because they did volunteer projects to get free tickets!




Connly was such a good little guy the whole time! My good friend Debbie got Connly this outfit from Disney World before he was even born and it fit him just in time to go to Disneyland..Thanks Debbie!!







The train ride:) and Connly favorite ride Its a Small World! He loved it!! So many colorful things to look at!
We all met up for dinner at the ESPN Zone in Downtown Disney it cooled down and I got to wear my Minnie mouse sweat shirt that I got when we danced in Disneyland when I was in 6Th grade! I love it! My dad is so proud of me for still having it! :)
