Jones Family Party!

On Saturday July 2nd we had a Jones Family Party! It was super fun. Most of the boys went Golfing in the afternoon. The dinner started at 5 and then we played games and watched some old home movies and then we had a firework show. It was so much fun. The food was yummy! and we got to mingle and catch up on every ones life and get to know some cousins better. then We played a bunch of minuet to win it games. there were some for kids and some for adults. I have pictures but for some reason my camera was being silly and mixed them all up. I love my family and am truly grateful for them!

Memorial Day Weekend 2011

For Memorial day Weekend the whole family got together with my mom's side and we went to lava hot spring to the School House Inn. I am not going to lie I was very nervous about going to this place for the whole weekend with everyone but it turned out really well and we had a lot of fun. So, here are some massive amounts of pictures to showcase the weekend.


Uncle Merrill made some stilts and we were all played on them trying to walk and get up on them.

On Saturday morning it was beautiful and good weather and Uncle Merrill had brought up these motor bikes that were totally awesome! we had so much fun riding them. we were outside playing in the road for 2-3 hrs. we rode the bikes and played with a potato gun that Aaron made and we hula hooped and jumped roped. it was such a blast!

After we got done playing outside it was still great weather so we went swimming. the kids got passes to both parks and the adults just went to the got springs. We had a blast. there were water slides and the pool and they had Olympic diving platforms. They were super high. Spencer, Nils and Jaden went and signed a wavier to jump and tested their manhood. they all jumped from the bottom 2 but only Spencer and jaded jumped from the highest one. I was so proud of them.

I even went on the scary purple slide. it was great.

after we were all done swimming and sitting in the hot springs we all went home and showered and got ready took naps and relaxed. we ate dinner and then there was a dance in Chesterfield and we decided that we were going to crash it. at first we were very nervous about going and thought it was going to be lame but it was really fun and we learned a new dance and met new people.

Sunday we all got up and went to church. I felt bad there were so many visitors there i think that it was mostly visitors and a few were regulars. then we came home and ate lunch and took naps and watched movies. the we played some games. We got some minuet to win it games and played them. it was fun.

It turned out to be a great fun weekend.
