Rodeo

Labor day weekend we headed to Sonoita, AZ for the rodeo! We try and go every year because it's so much fun!

First things first. Kettle corn!

Despite the fact that I look disgustingly sweaty, the weather was perfect!

Brody played a lot on the stairs...


Jett was perfect as usual, and enjoyed his first taste of popcorn!



The rodeo was awesome! Lance was really sad that we missed the steer wrestling.




Rachel, Chad, & Royce came down to play! I loved watching these two play, they're only about 5 weeks apart! I'm so glad my boys have cousins to play with!

He's Three!

My little baby is Three today!

Let's go back in time...

Here we are

Brody is 3!

This kid sure is happy, energetic, spirited! Brody has sure given us a run for our money. But looking through all these pictures has me thinking of what a sweet boy he can be. I've loved what a snuggler he is. I appreciate all his help when Jett was born. I love the special, quiet moments when "no one" is watching & he is sweet & kind to his younger brother.
Happy Birthday to my big boy! You're the best & Mom and Dad love you, along with many others!

Family Pictures

We've done so many things that I intended on posting, but now I can't find my camera, and I can't remember any of them...Life is so busy & it makes me sad. This last weekend we went to my oldest nieces baptism. I can't believe she is 8, nor can I believe that I'm old enough to have a niece that is baptized! Avery is a sweetheart & I'm so proud of her, I think she really enjoyed "her" day- even if her sister was slightly jealous. We love you too Allie. Well, the mom of these girls is so talented! Back in JUNE (ya I'm really behind), my sister, Adele took some pictures for our family. I must say, although it wasn't the easiest growing up in a family of 8...it sure is fun being grown up with so much family and kids! Sorry for the overload...I'm sure you're not complaining though...

Another month down...

We went to the Dr. today for his 6 month check up

And the stats are...

Length- 27.3" 81%

Weight- 16.13lbs. 38%

Head- 50%

This little boy is a sweetheart. He may not be the cuddle bug that I want, but he has the cutest and most innocent smile.

(this is the best he has sat up, I think he was showing off)

He's growing so big. He is very strong, which he'll need to wrestle with his big brother.

Jett is...
Sitting with some assistance
Army crawling everywhere (8/4)
Eating baby food-
Loves-Sweet potatoes, Peas, Carrots
Not so sure about- Bananas and applesauce
Dislikes- Rice cereal (I force it with a bottle)
Doesn't love the spoon, he'd rather feed himself
Adores his brother, who can make his laugh so hard
Teething BIG time! It's making everything hard especially sleeping!





Here's Jett's trick, It's SO funny- and he knows it!

Teething and Such

This last week has been way fun having Lance's sister Holly here visiting. Jett started army crawling. This morning Jett slept in till 8:30, went back down for a nap at 10am. It's 12:30 and he just woke up. Teething is the worst, but he's sure got a great way of handling it. We're headed Friday to his 6 MONTH appointment! I can't believe it!

July So Far

Well to start off July, the Jones family came down for the 4th!
It wasn't quite the same without the fire works, but we did our best to
make up for it.
Jett was great at napping on the go!

Monday morning we went to the soapbox races in Bisbee. Here is Jett, Mariah, and Brody staying out of the heat!

The babe and I.

Jett has a love for his feet. You can find him like this often. He has really grown up in the last week(I think I say that a lot). We got rid of the swing. I was really afraid, but he takes Three- 1 1/2 naps during the day and goes to bed at 8 and sleeps till 7! booya! I love my sleepy boys!

Brody has finally discovered how fun Jett is. A couple days ago I was doing the dishes & the boys were down stairs playing. I would check on them every couple minutes to make sure Brody was being nice. Well, I finished the dishes and checked one more time and they were on the other side of the room. I asked Brody how they got over there and he said he pull Jett by the legs. haha. crazy kid. I'm just grateful he didn't try to carry him!

This is a picture of Brody trying hard to put the binkie in Jett's mouth. He was getting really mad at Jett, but Jett was just cracking up and spitting it out. (Jett would rather chew the binkie).

Last Saturday, I needed to run to Tucson for some hair color, so we made a little trip out of it. We went to the International Museum. It reminded me of the Smithsonian in DC, just way smaller and not quite as nice. It was a lot of fun though, and I totally recommend it to people in Sierra Vista looking for something to do!

looking at the birds

Brody hugging the bear

Daddy and B with the gator!

Can you see all the animals! Seriously the room was full. There was also a giraffe that Brody loved!


After we got home, this is where I found the boys. Watching the monsoon storm!
love them!

He's growing!!! eek!

Here's What Jett's up to

-Rolling over everywhere. And gets mad when he can't get where he wants to go, meaning he would be happy crawling.

-Smiles and laughs at everything and anyone!

-Doesn't love eating from a spoon...it's just easier drinking from a bottle.

-Still naps in his swing...

-Is so ticklish, under arms, ribs, thighs, and feet. haha

-Is finally snuggling! I've needed it!

-Can cry himself to sleep.

-Loves when his brother plays with him.

-Is the happiest baby I've ever seen!

Ok, I'm done now, but I could go on on!
