You've got a friend in me




You've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me







When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles
From your nice warm bed
Just remember what your old pal said
Boy, you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got troubles, well I've got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together and we see it through
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
Some other folks might be
A little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too
Maybe
But none of them will ever love you the way I do
It's me and you
And as the years go by
Boys, our friendship will never die
You're gonna see
It's our destiny
You've got a friend in me









You've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me





So incredibly thankful for 2 such sweet boys.

I pray that years down the road that they continue to be not just brothers, but the best of friends as well.

Confessions of a soccer wife

I confess that i think there is nothing hotter than a good looking coach and a "baby bjorn".

(And of course the adorable baby in it)

3 months

It's hard to believe that 3 months have already gone by....



You are such a breath of fresh air, Kiptyn.

You are all smiles! I just love your chubby cheeks...and might I add that little bit of double chin that I could just kiss constantly!





You are already so playful. Constantly kicking your feet...You must already know all the soccer games you've accompanied us to. Learning it already from your Daddy and brother of course. You love just anyone talking to you. If you ever fuss we know if you're not hungry, and you don't need to burp, than you just want to have a conversation with us. We love listening to your precious sounds that we are savoring every minute of.


You are doing so good at daycare. Mommy loves hearing from your teachers what a good baby I have. Although, I do enjoy getting to bring you to work with me on occasion...and lets face it, Grandmommy does too! :)



We are so incredibly thankful for you baby! Happy 3 months, Kip!

Flashback Friday

We all wonder why I'm so insanely in love with ice-cream...I apparently started at a young age!




Let's pause for a moment and take in that I'm not even one and dad is shoveling in choc ice cream for me. Please excuse the fact that I am just wearing a diaper.


*Side note: check out the curtains & wallpaper! Hello 1980's!*











One of my most favorite memories with Daddy is him having Crystal and I by himself every so often and taking us for ice cream for dinner. It would always be our little secret. Bad mommy over here (me) has actually done that with Jackson once this fall. We were at Josh's practice one evening and decided to be wild and crazy and go for frozen yogurt for dinner. Jackson loved it!



Have I mentioned how much I love my Daddy? I love that I carry on those moments with him to even my kiddos. Something so small, but still so special to me.

Trunk or treat

This year, we went to Bethel's Trunk or Treat a few weeks ago.


Jackson was super pumped to put on his Buzz Lightyear costume and Daddy was super pumped to put Kip into his mini ninja costume! Regardless of being a Jackson hand-me-down, it still was awesome. When we went out on Monday night though going door to door, we couldn't decide what to put Kiptyn in b/c it was cold. Josh was adamant on the ninja costume so he was a "ninja-bumblebee". He wore his ninja outfit underneath his warm bumblebee costume we borrowed from Amy Jo. Poor child with 2 costumes...but at least he was warm.












Several adults handing out candy asked if Jackson and Ryan were twins. NO joke, if you put Jackson, Ryan, and Kiptyn's newborn pictures up together they could have been triplets. Must be that Jones gene!

Katelin's Senior Session

I had the opportunity to do Katelin's senior pictures a few weeks ago. We had a blast! She is so beautiful and super sweet! Glad we waited closer to fall b/c the scenery was perfect. Warning*picture overload*: Here's some of my favorites

Flashback Friday

Wow, what a flashback. Mom brought me this picture to scan from our plaque this week. It was getting really discolored from being an "older photo". I scanned it and tried touching it up. What a fun time in my life. Plus that's not a bad looking coach in the top right, eh?


Can you find me?
