Good Luck Cowboys!

This weekend is the first games of the state playoff's

The kids and I are stuck staying home, we are all feeling under the weather!

But Jason is in St George with the Cowboy's Baseball Team

Hopefully there will be many more games to come next week.

If my husband is going to be MIA on
Mothers Day Weekend
Then the least he could do is come home with a set of wins!
Go COWBOYS!

PS~Jason, a set of wins isn't the only thing you had better bring home (MOTHERS DAY), Hint, Hint

Happy Bithday to You!

Hope you have a great #28!

We love you,

Amanda, Trent Easton & Bryn Leigh

Hello Spring...We've Missed You

Today, I packed up our

Winter CoatsI am trading in our

Hats and Gloves for

Sunscreen and Flipflops

I think it's about darn time my kids could play outside

without worrying about

FROSTBITE!

That's all for now, I'm off to play in the

Glorious Sunshine
with my kids!

I may even try to get a little

Sunburn

Just because I can!

Hoppy Easter!

Since this year mother nature decided to play a mean trick and snow on our

Easter

we had our egg hunt inside at Jered and ShaRee's House.

My kids didn't seem to mind and they got way too much candy.

I tried to get a good picture of my kids in their Easter outfits but

Uncle Jered kept getting Easton to make goofy faces.

So this is what we came up with.

What a great Easter we had and we are so lucky that we have such a great family to spend it with.

You're Killin' Me Smalls

Our Version of

"The Sandlot"

The CAST

Trent as "Benny"

and

Easton as "Smalls"

"The Beast"

played by

Murphy

and

The "Baseball"

It may not be signed by

Babe Ruth

but it is a pretty important piece of

"Jonesy's" aka Dad's

baseball history.
Thank heavens

"Benny"

was smart enough

to know that

"Smalls"

shouldn't play with

"Baseballs with pen on them"

And Thank heavens

"The Beast"

Has a short attention span when playing

FETCH!

On the Mend!

I am happy to report that we here at the
Jones household are back on the mend.




After a brief stay at Primary Children's with Bryn Leigh and a long drawn out week of coughs and colds with the boys.

We now can announce that all three children are once again healthy and happy.

We had quite a scare with little sister, the doctor ran tests to see if she had cystic fibrosis. That is not something that I was prepared for. I don't think anyone ever really could be. After 5 long days of waiting, accompanied my much fasting and prayer in her behalf we received word today from the Dr that the tests were all negative. It's just the dang old asthma that keeps getting to her.

But asthma I would gladly take any day over

cystic fibrosis.

Now, if we could only get some nice weather so that my healthy kids could play outside and stay healthy!

I feel so loved

I opened up my computer one day to find this sweet little heart.

It had been so carefully cut out and colored by the sweetest little 4 year old hands.

On the back it read:

mom

love easton

I am so lucky to be a mother of these 3 sweet little ones.

Sometimes I get way too stressed over things that don't matter and lose sight of just how important my kids are in my life.

Trent, Easton and Bryn Leigh

Love Mom

He's At BASEBALL!

Yep... it's that time of the year again.

Baseball has officially begun, tryouts are this week and the first game is next Monday!

What does this mean for our family you ask?

Well for Jason it means spending the next 2 1/2 months on his favorite pastime!

And for the kids this means lots of fun times outside watching baseball and meeting new friends.

Now, what does the start of a new season mean for me? I get to work on my tan while watching great games of baseball

AND,

just like the line from the great Whitesnake song

"Here I go again on my own".

That's right, from now until the middle of May I am a single parent while

my children and I share Jason with the

Grantsville Cowboys Baseball Team.

Don't worry, this is my third year doing this so I'm a seasoned veteran by now. Yet somehow, I still get the constant question "Where's your husband?" at almost all family functions.

So the next time you see me and the kids and Jason is nowhere in sight, just know that

HE'S AT BASEBALL!

Doing something that he loves

ALMOST

as much as he loves us,

Coaching.

I feel lucky to share such an amazing man and his talents with so many.

GO COWBOYS!

Fully Powered

When I started to write a post today it was a depressing one.

I was having an OFF day as I like to call it. Feeling sorry for myself for no perticular reason.

Then I started checking in on all of my favorite blogs.

Which led me to find one that brought me to tears, literally.

After reading a story of a mother's lost battle with cancer, and her amazing outlook on life.

It was like someone flipped the switch in me. I am no longer feeling sorry for myself.

I am no longer having an off day, instead I am all the way fully powered

ON!

Today is a gift... That's why it's called the present.
