A Little Piece of JONES: May 2014
http://justincarissa.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
A Little Piece of JONES. Sunday, May 18, 2014. My dear friend Julie came and did newborn pictures for me. She did a fabulous job. My mom bought the most adorable cowboy hat and boots for Landon to use and so of course we had to get a brothers shot, especially because the boys have been so into cowboys lately. I like this one too. Wish I had a few more shots of this pose. This is another of my favorites. Can't wait to get some of these printed and hung up on my wall. It was the first time they had been to...

A Little Piece of JONES. Sunday, May 17, 2015. The Truth About Three. In short, how is it with three? Is it really that hard to just do it? But He knows that I am worth it. And I know that my boys are worth it. And if we keep trying, together we will figure it out eventually. It has taken me a few weeks to post about the end of preschool, and that's okay! Soren, Bryce, Gwen, Matthew, Ellie, Maggie, Koyle, Ammon, Naomi, Marseille. As if it wasn't already.) These quiet times are also good affirmations ...

A Little Piece of JONES: Protect the Family
http://justincarissa.blogspot.com/2015/06/protect-family.html
A Little Piece of JONES. Monday, June 1, 2015. I have been slowly working my way through Glen Beck's book Conform. About Common Core and Public Education in general. It has been a very good read. The other day I read some of the most disturbing chapters so far. They were so disturbing because they illuminated such a point of truth that society is straying so far away from. Glen Beck summed it all up-the point of the whole issue really, with this quote:. Parents have a sacred duty to rear their children i...

A Little Piece of JONES: April 2014

A Little Piece of JONES. Thursday, April 24, 2014. We planted a garden! And it is growing! We have about 7 or 8 peas that have sprouted and are growing quickly! It is quite exciting to see our own little garden growing. The boys think it is super awesome that we are growing our own food! I just hope we can keep our plants alive as the weather gets hotter and that they will stay alive while we are gone in June. Our pea sprouts popping up! I Love to See the Temple. Preschool Program equals freedom! Everyon...

A Little Piece of JONES. Sunday, October 26, 2014. Amoxicillin, Rolling, Lizards, and Sleep Training. It has been a pretty eventful week so we will start at the beginning. This was Monday morning before his neck got really "bad". And notice that the eczema covers the rest of his body too. We were back in business. Justin took his big unit test. We got grocery shopping done which had already been long overdue before I got sick. Did all the laundry, which is a feat within itself. And watche...Finally. ...

A Little Piece of JONES. Sunday, July 20, 2014. 3 Billy Goats Gruff. Tonight we got him to tell us the story in his own words and it is adorable! So without further ado, here is Koyle telling the story of the 3 Billy Goats Gruff. Then today I got this message from his nursery leader (who I LOVE):. Hey, Carissa- I just wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying Koyle in nursery. He is SUCH an angel! But it was really nice to know that he is behaving well when away from me. Thursday, July 17, 2014.

A Little Piece of JONES: January 2015

A Little Piece of JONES. Sunday, January 25, 2015. Wednesday, January 21, 2015. This post is mostly for my mom-I have been promising pictures of these things. I feel like Christmas always involves a little redecorating because I always seem to acquire something new for the house. Much to Justin's chagrin I made him strap the chicken coop doors to the top of the car and we hauled them all the way back to Texas with us. Finally that big empty wall is filled! He is getting so big. Sunday, January 18, 2015.

A Little Piece of JONES: December 2014
http://justincarissa.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
A Little Piece of JONES. Sunday, December 14, 2014. I recently had a friend tell me that as her kids are starting to get older she feels more and more the pressure and the busyness of the holiday season. There are so many things you could do with your kids. I shared with her my philosophy on Christmas busyness. If I am enjoying all the little activities and extra things with my family then great! And now for some pictures of our December activities:. Just because they are too cute! Grammy Tami does a Dec...

A Little Piece of JONES. Wednesday, June 24, 2015. Some freezer and some cooked, one oven full of dried apricots, which all fit into a quart jar when finished and took oh.about 14 hours to dry, and two large bags of apricots that I pitted and froze to use in smoothies or ice cream. I think we are set in the apricot division for a while! The picture doesn't quite do it justice, but can you get a sense of the beautiful orange color? These will be yummy someday down the road. Sunday, June 21, 2015. But it w...

A Little Piece of JONES. Thursday, April 30, 2015. Can you believe Landon boy is one? It is craziness to me.I was trying to get Landon to smile and I told the kids to sing a song to him, and he started singing along! It was super cute. We had some issues with the cake, but plan B ended up being a much better plan and they turned out great. Never mind that I have oodles of cake left over as a result. It was definitely the hit of the day for him. That boy just loves balls so much! I'm pretty sure he was th...
