Introducing Trevor Ryan Jones!

So the newest member of the Jones clan arrived on November 13, 2010!

He weighed in at 7 lbs 3 oz, and is 19 inches long! and he is very cute!

I loved him as soon as I set eyes on him. It is amazing to me what a miracle it is when these sweet little babies arrive so precious from our Father in Heaven. I know with my own kids there was an immediate bond when I first looked at them. I thought this would change when I had grandchildren but every one of them have such a familiar look and there is an immediate grandma bond!

I made this little hat for him and it actually fit him! but Isaac said it probably won't next week, which is probably true but I love it on him today!

I love his cute little nose and how can you resist those cute little lips.

Mary is such a great Mom and sailed through the delivery in 3 hours! ( I know, not fair!) and she says, she is so much more relaxed this time around. (Could it be that she is not in the middle of school and delivering her first child?)

Lincoln is too cute with him and was glad to run around and show me how he, is the big brother!

Isaac looked like this when I walked in the room.

He has a sweet disposition and is so calm.

Happy Grandma, cute baby!

I have to burp!, no, not me, Trevor!

Cute baby faces.

Almost opening those eyes!

Where, am I? and who is this woman!

Okay, I'm done!

So, glad that he is healthy and here. I am truly blessed to have so many cute little grandsons and darling little granddaughters! I really have a lot to be thankful for this month!

Oh, Halloween!

On Saturday we held our ward Trunk or Treat at our house. The ward building was being used so the Bishop decided that he would hold it at our house! I love it when he makes those announcements over the pulpit and that is the first that I have heard about it. It was fine and it gave me an excuse to get decorating and get more Halloween decorations. I was really hoping that it would not be raining and my hopes came true. It had rained earlier in the day but it was perfect for the entire party. We started at 6 PM with games, a cupcake walk, a pumpkin toss, a ghost dart throw, and pumpkin ball. It was fun and well attended and I love it when all of the little kiddo's come dressed so cute! We had a great variety of costumes!

A penguin, she even walked like one the entire night.

These two were my favorites, I don't know if you realize that our ward has 8 sets of twins in it but these 2 definitely stole the show! They were so cute and never once tried to pull their habits off!

Here is a butterfly, the nun's older sister!

A cheerleader and a scare crow.

Old Billy Bob! His teeth were perfect!

Minnie Mouse and I think it was Batman. It was a fun night and everyone loved treating up and down our spooky lane.

On Sunday we got some more Treaters!

Kace was a skeleton, of course Tydon was Spider man and I was the sorting hat with my own owl mail carrier. I wore the sorting hat on Saturday night and everyone who came was sorted, (They were all sorted into the Cub River ward!)

Then we had this cute dragon come and visit.

Lincoln, you have the cutest little personality!

I think Spider man had one too many blue candies, but at least his mouth matches his costume!

Hope all of you had a great one! I can't believe it is already November!

Brett and Maddee's wedding!

Brett and Maddee were married on Thursday! It was a beautiful day with the best weather ever!

She looked so beautiful in her beautiful wedding dress.

Here are the Shaw's and they all look so happy, and they should, it was a great day!

The brothers and Sis!

Grandma and Grandpa!

Her colors were black and yellow and they were so striking! I loved the cake, this so reminds me of Maddee.

The food was out of this world!

I loved these cute cupcake pedestals, they really make these cupcakes say, Eat me, Eat me!

The ceiling was just as pretty!

Nate talking to the new couple.

Tydon being shy talking to the new couple.

A cute picture, isn't Emerson growing up!

Kace with his cheesy grin! It was so fun to see so many people that I knew and have not seen for a long time.  We wish Maddee and Brett the best, they are such a beautiful bride and groom!

Thanks for the great day!

Oh, Deer!

To look at this picture you wouldn't think these three were very excited but they were, they are just holding it back.

Mac had one day to go hunting because of work and school so he made it count!  Ryan said that he missed the bigger one, but that is usually how it is :)  Oh, they are so funny when it comes to deer hunting! Way to go Mac! In his words he dropped him, "Like a sack of potoatoes!"

Kace's Baptism

On Saturday Kace was baptized! I can't believe that he is 8! It was a great day and it will have some great memories in my mind and it also taught me some simple truths.

It is hard to get Kace to smile at times but here is one of his best!

Tydon wasn't sure if he wanted his picture but finally gave me one of his great smiles as well.

Here is Kace with his friend Christian who was baptized just a few months before.

I have to just tell about the sweet experience that touched my heart. I have thought about it all weekend. After the confirmation the Bishop's counselor asked Rachel to bear her testimony. Which was great by the way, then little Tydon really wanted to bear his testimony and wanted to get up right after she was finished. I think Rachel told him to wait and he was having a hard time holding still. Then after Rachel was finished the Bishop's Counselor got up again and then invited anyone who wanted to bear their testimonies to do so. Well, little Tydon was excited to stand and began by saying very sincerely, " I want to share my Monster Trucks," well as soon as that came out of his mouth everyone began to snicker and laugh, and because Tydon is so sensitive he hurried and sat down by his Mom and began to cry. Ryan, I, Ted, and Kaylene, (Rachel's parents), bore our testimonies and then Tydon was asked to say the closing prayer. When he got up Rachel went up with him and then Rachel knelt beside him to help him if he needed help with the prayer. Well as soon as Rachel knelt down, Tydon knelt and folded his arms. He then said the sweetest prayer which of course included thanking his Father in Heaven for his Monster trucks. I will forever have that tender mercy of a picture in my mind of an innocent 3 year old kneeling with his arms folded to say a prayer in front of a group at his brother's confirmation. I then thought how sincere he was about thanking for his Monster trucks. I then thought about what we as adults thank our Father for and is their much of a difference? Ryan then said to me later, "If you were the parents who had given him the Monster trucks wouldn't you feel appreciative knowing how much he was thankful for them and isn't our Father in Heaven just as appreciative of us when we thank Him for those things that we are thankful for. It's just that a 3 year old world is just a little smaller and simpler than ours. So thanks Tydon! I am glad you are thankful for your Monster trucks!
