  • The Littles go Horse Back Riding

    The Littles go Horse Back Riding

    Jim and I have categorized our children. Brett, Cole, and Emery are the “seniors”, Fletcher and Greyden are the “juniors”, and Hewitt, Indigo, and Jade are the “littles”. Grandma took the seniors and juniors to Disney Quest, so Jim and I got to spend some time with the littles. Hewitt kept saying how much he…

  • Happy Jade

    Happy Jade

    Apparently, being in Florida really agrees with Jade. She was so cute and happy during our vacation: OK, she was sad once: But then she was happy again:   Hmmmm… maybe I’ll have to take her back.     

  • Snow White

    Snow White

    Jim and I took the littles (Hewitt, Indigo, and Jade) for a walk. Jade had fallen asleep when we found Snow White. Indigo had a very long conversation with Snow White. I didn’t hear all of it, but this was some of what I heard: Snow White: Where are you from, Indi? Indigo: Indiana. Snow…

  • More Disney

    More Disney

    On the Disney bus headed toward Epcot: Colter was the only one who wanted to go on Mission Space. The rest of us knew we’d vomit if we did. So here are the older kids waiting for Cole: While we were doing Mission Space and Test Track, the girls were having fun with Grandma at…

  • Back from Disney World

    Back from Disney World

    We’re back from our vacation. We had wonderful park weather (mostly 70’s) and still managed to get in a lot of swimming time. Thanks Grandma and Poppy for working at Disney World to make it possible! I’ve got tons of photos to post. So get ready! Driving to the airport (just a bit excited): Brett…

  • You Know You’re In Trouble When…

    You Know You’re In Trouble When…

    …you come back from a weekend selling soap to find… …sprouts growing out of the children’s bathroom sink. What the heck did they put in there???    

  • Speed Bagging

    Speed Bagging

    The day after Christmas, my brother, Pete, came for a visit. He brought with him a wonderful Christmas present for the children – five new cousins! Yep, my brother is getting married to a wonderful lady with five children, ages 9 – 15. We had a great time meeting each of them, but I told…

  • Silly Hats

    Silly Hats

    I suppose I should be happy that they played silly hats with their plates before dinner. Instead of after.     

  • I Miss The Green Stuff

    I Miss The Green Stuff

    No, not money. I miss grass. And leaves. And even weeds. So I went looking for some green pictures, and found these photos of Brett working in her herb garden. I hadn’t seen these before, which means that I didn’t take them. I think Jim must have, because the boys don’t usually take pictures of…

  • I Hate it When…

    I Hate it When…

    … Daddy gets me dressed.    

  • Operation No Fingers

    Operation No Fingers

    Most of our pictures of Jade have her fingers in her mouth like this: Even when we tell her to smile, she smiles around her fingers like this: So, the objective of this photo shoot was to get Jade to willingly remove her fingers from her mouth and smile. Daddy is coaxing and encouraging while…

  • Jady Bug

    Jady Bug

    Jade has gotten so big in the past six months. She’s talking really well and expressing herself fully. She had me laughing really hard the other night with something she said. But I need to give you a bit of background first. We have six “House Rules” at the Jonas homestead. The sixth rule is…

  • So Glad It is 2010

    So Glad It is 2010

    I am so glad that 2009 is over. Don’t get me wrong. It was an awesome year. But it was the craziest year I’ve ever lived through and there were times I wasn’t sure we were going to make it. You can always tell how insane my life is by the number of blog posts…

  • Buddy

    Buddy

    I’ve wanted to paint our house since we moved into it five years ago. Jim hates to paint, so I’ve always been the painter in the family. But I just have not been able to paint. There is always too much other stuff to do. But the walls have been getting worse and worse and……

  • Little Bird Houses

    Little Bird Houses

    We’ve had a whole bunch of little birdhouses hanging around the barn for several years. Jim decided to let the children each have one. They got to decide where to hang it, and the boys put them up. This one is Hewitt‘s: Don’t you just love Hewitt’s smile? He seems to have forgotten how, and…
