Should I be concerned...??

Okay so every evening after we have jammies on, Jackson and either Mommy or Daddy will read a book or two before bed. This evening was a little bit different....we had something else accompanying reading time...


Yes ladies and gentlemen his "fooball". I guess I should have known. He's been living in Salem for 15 months now and I'm surprise we don't already have him his own personalize set of football pads. Salem Mules get ready... Jackson Jones will be eligible for rec football in 3 years and 9 months! :)

Calling all "Marthas"!

Our Friday evening started out here buying our supplies...

...to make these. Oh and just in case you're wondering, yes we're in our twenties and we CAN pull this off! HOTNESS!
Aren't us Martha's so stylish! Amy made a Michigan one for Rew, Meghann made one for Ryan (yay), I made one for Ashlee's dog Carmella (her 1st bday is next month, won't she look precious in her birshday tutu??), Em made a PH one for Sissy (look Em I'm even calling her that now instead of Charley Bird), and Cam made one for her neice Landry.


This is where we left the boys. Downstairs distracted by playing a season of Madden.


A huge thank you to the Dowdy family for hosting us in our first Tutu/Madden Party. And a speacial thanks to Miss Martha Stewart herself, Emily! It was so nice to find my inner "Susie Homemaker" and having some girly time! Next night,... either carving pumpkins or blanket making! WAHOO! I'm excited!


Olde Salem Days 2010 watch out! We have some crafty women coming! :)


Oh and P.S. here's one of our cute models


I know it's just wrong but isn't he cute!? Don't show his daddy!

Cheers to a 3 day weekend!

The Jones family started off our 3 day weekend by getting up at 5am on Saturday to head to Richmond for Josh's u19 soccer tournament. Jackson (and mommy) made it through 2 out of 3 games which I thought was pretty good. While waiting back at the hotel for daddy, Jackson decided since we were away we could do things that we aren't allowed to do at home.



Once he realized that I was watching the whole time, this is what he turned his game into. Sneaky thing,...he started wiping the floor like he was trying to help clean. Who did he think he was fooling? :)


We also have found that we are not just avid Steak N Shake and Chili fanatics. We have discovered a "Tropical Smoothie Cafe". It was A-MAZING! Jackson got his first smoothie, banana-strawberry, YUMMY!


On Sunday we got the whole Friend-Family together for dinner. We now have to get a table for 10 1/2! :) Ladies I have much more pics from this evening, however I couldn't figure out how to do a slideshow on a blog, so I'll have to email them to ya!

Boy are our kiddos growing like weeds. I do have to say, those are some cuties! :)

Man it's nice to have a long weekend! Oh and by the way, Josh's team won the Richmond cup! Huge accomplishment speaking that the team that hosted the tournament and that they played in the championship was ranked 5th in the state and we were ranked 16. Not anymore! :) That should have bumped our standing up. Go sabres!
