Another Grandchild on its Way!

2009-07-12T08:22:00.000-07:00

Keisha and Paul surprised us with a Scavenger Hunt! Keisha told Jordan first to included him. He told us HE had a Hawaiian Surprise scavenger hunt plan for Father's Day weekend. But he was really just helping Keisha out with surprising us. The first clue was at grandma Shirley's house at 4:00pm. We got there and McKel found the clue in the kitchen window. The next clue was at our house. So we all beat it back up there. And with 3 cars on the road racing back. I was nervous! The girls took 4th East, so Gary thought, taking another road, he could cut them off at track street! But NO we all got there at the same time. So we crossed track street and took the weeds, on the side of the road to try and pass. But we made it back to the house without hitting anyone or crashing each other. WE all jumped out of the cars and was running around the house, trying to find the next clue. And the clue was a box sitting on deck! We opened it and there were wrapped gifts, for each one of us to open. The gifts were baby things. So I was saying to each of the girls. Is it YOU! And Gary was reading a poem that was the clue and said, the ones expecting the answer was on a paper in the baby bottle. It was Keisha and Paul!!! It was fun and exciting to know that there is another grandchild on it way. We are so excited for them!

Road Trip.....To Mount Rushmore!

2009-06-13T19:36:00.001-07:00

This picture was taken at Bear Country USA. The little cubs were so fun to watch.

You drove your car through this park. We would hurry and put down are window and take a picture. And hurry and roll it back up! There was at least 100 bears! They were huge!

We took the Needle Hwy and this is one of the beautiful rock tunnels, we drove through.

Crazy Horse

Our trip start in Jackson Hole Wy. Gary wanted to ride the river, since it was way high. Me and a lady Florida ended up on the front bench of the boat. Cause everyone else wanted to row. So every time we hit a rapid, we got soaked bad! The water was so cold, we had to wear wet suits. We had a great time on the river. After staying in Jackson Hole we drove across Wy. to Casper and stayed there. My father-in-law would joke when he worked in Wy. That the people there could watched their dog run away for 3 days! I believe it now. Driving through there state made me appreciate our beautiful mountains here in Utah. Then after Casper, we drove into the Black Hills National Park and it was beautiful. We had a great trip.

"Road Trip......continues"

We stayed in a little town called Keystone, South Dakota. Doing alittle shopping on their boardwalk main street.
We to the night show at Mount Rushmore.

Here was all 50 States flags leading you into Mount Rushmore. It was way cool to see.

We had our Annual Easter Egg Hunt. It's funny cause the older kids, get into it more than the little ones! lol We started with the grandkids on the deck, hunting for eggs. Then it was the Adults turn. Gary yelled GO! Some were jumping the deck rail and some were slippin in the mud, on to their bum McKel and others were runnin' around just screaming...that's mine! It was hilarious to watch. That's why we keep having it. hehe We found when you put a little $ in a egg, They Will Go Crazy!

About the Family!

2008-11-07T08:42:00.000-08:00

Why I started my blog? Its been a while ago but, for a YoungWomen activity, the girls wanted to learn how to start their own blogs. The older girls had theirs, but not the younger ones. So the YW said I needed one, to share my pictures with my family and friends. So here I am! I hope your enjoy watching my family grow :)

Me, I am working in the office at Red Cliffs Elementary. I serve as the YW Pres. And I love my YW (girls)! And being a grandma to the 3 cutest grandkids, is the best thing ever. Spoil them and send them home! Gary is still in the building business. And loves being a grandpa or a gramps, like Avia calls him at times. McKel and Mike have 2....Avia that just turned 4 and Madix that is 20 months. They live in Nephi. Mandee and Jaren have Jayden that will being turning 2 in April. And they also live in Nephi. We are lucky to have them live around us! Keisha and Paul, just got married March 13th. In the St. George Temple. They are soooo happy and living in St. Geroge. They have added to their family already. Buying a turtle on thier Honeymoon and naming it Ensey! He sure is a cute little rock! haha And Elder Jordan Jones is serving in Hawaii. He was on the Big Island and is now serving on Honolulu. He is loving every minute of it! So thats a little bit about the Jones Family for now.
