I love daddy-daughter time. Melts my heart.





I often attempt to cut Chase's hair. Whether or not it is aesthetically pleasing is debatable, but it is economical nonetheless. Maybe the picture doesn't do it justice, but I was shocked at how much hair ended up on the floor. Here we have a pile that is also about 1 to 2 inches tall next to a size 13 foot.

Pool Party

For Chase's 26th birthday we headed up to SLC to be with his favorite people... his family! We are so glad to have them living in SLC so they could join us for a pool party and BBQ.

Anna's first swim!

"Too sunny to look at the camera Mom, seriously." -Anna

We didn't know how she would like it since tub time is pretty iffy. But despite the freezing water and chilly wind, she loved it, (unlike her wimpy Mom- I hate cold water)

Hey party animals!

Miss you Chase and Val

My brother and his wife have lived in Provo up until a month ago. We sure do miss having them close by.

One Sunday afternoon we went to one of my favorite places in Utah County, Bridal Veil Falls

Anna 10 months


Chase and Val after their half marathon. We met them at the finish and I have to admit I was kind of emotional watching them cross the finish line. They did amazing!


Woo Hoo!


"Wait, how far did you have to run to get your pretty medal?"-Anna


The half marathon started early in the morning, so we woke up Anna, threw her in the stroller, and gave her some dry Cheerios. All things considered Anna was having a blast. She had just learned how to clap so anytime a runner crossed the finish line she was the first to applaud.

Finally caught on camera

If you have been able to spend any time with Anna in the past few months you know that bottle and nap time, is hair twirling time.

I know a great babysitter...

First of all, she absolutely loves babies. Nothing would give this girl more pleasure than to hold, cuddle, and play with a baby. She is very sweet and becomes very concerned when the babies is upset. There is no way this babysitter will ever ignore your sweet baby. There is just one catch...

She is only two years old.

Ryan and Bethany came down with the fam to SlC for the weekend and we got to spend some time with them. We spent an evening at Pirate Island which turned out to be way cooler than it's billboard. I would pick Pirate Island over Chuck E Cheese anyday. (Mostly because the pizza is a bajillion times better ;). Cousin Leah, you can come babysit Anna anyday, (that is until you learn the difference between a penny and a twenty-dollar bill)

An Easter in Denver

Anna and I had a girls trip to Denver for Easter weekend with all the Jones cousins.

Anna's first Easter (7 months old)

If you think the outside is good, just wait until you can open it up. (But first you need to get some teeth)


Happy Easter!

Putting glasses on babies never ceases to entertain me.

Hmm...food

Carrots or Sweet Potatoes? Your guess is as good as mine
This picture shows Anna's hair at its prime. She has lost hair on the sides, yet has maintained a nice little curly tuft on top perfet for bows and ponytails.
