Augh

So when my blogger will allow me to post pics, I will. I have been trying for the past month and it won't allow me to post pics. ;( Until then hope everyone is enjoying life! :)

Update.....

I can't keep up on my blog.. :( I should hire someone to just do it for me... I've been working 2 jobs the past several months. I'm still bartending at Wingers and then I work part time at the Juvenile Justice Center, well now its part time, I've been doing full time hours there until they found some more hires...

My class reunion is over and was a success. I had so much fun and it was worth planning with all the stress and sleepless nights. Rory was an amazing Co-Chairman for the reunion.. :) He didn't really have much say in not helping! So June and July were extremely stressful between planning the class reunion and working 40+ hours a week, AND by taking care of my 3 beautiful, amazing kids. My parents were so kind to watch my kids for a few days before the reunion so I can get rest and focus on the reunion.... THANK YOU!

We just spent a week in Klamath Falls, OR. My mom, 3 kids, and I drove. It was quite the drive, by my kids did soo well and my mom, even better... ;) We had a family reunion with the Albrechtsen side and it was so much fun to visit and spend time with all of them. I loved it there... But I also loved Elko, which means any place would be A LOT better then Price!

Rory stayed home because he had to work. When I got home from the trip though he finished our kitchen cupboards, added a bigger closet door, shampooed the carpets, patched up the back porch... He could have easily just hung out with friends and beached out every night, but he wanted me to be happy and finished a bunch of projects.. He was probably tired of me complaining about everything.. :) I love him sooo much!

Rory and I celebrated our 7th Anniversary today and I was shocked because he used one of his vacation days to take me to Seven Peaks... :) We are still kids at heart, right? Neither of us have been since like high school so it was fun to be able to goof around with each other...

I skipped my birthday this year so that means I turned 27......again.... I worked on my birthday because I didn't want the added attention... I'm hoping things will start slowing down again, but chances are they won't! AND my twins have been wearing underwear the last 3 days (knock on wood that it continues)... Now we have 5 people fighting for 1 potty... :) AND finally Cameron starts Kindergarten the end of the month... I can't believe how old my kids are....

Trampoline Fun.....

Oh my gosh, I downloaded these pictures at the beginning of the summer. And when going through my blog posts I realized that I never actually posted it. I can't believe how much my children have changed within the last few months...

He was so anxious and excited to put up the trampoline!


Cameron wants to make sure that our eyes are always on him whenever he is doing anything. He has the sweetest face..



These 2 most the time are not a good combo! They scream TROUBLE!

I love Kayla's scrunched up face.....

Chrissy is extremely brave on the trampoline...

When my mom and dad moved a couple of years ago, they gave us their trampoline and oh how much fun my kids have on it. They love it and would go out every minute of every day if I let them!

Cameron's 1st Year of Baseball.....

Running soo quickly....

So excited once he makes it to 1st base!


Still unsure on what he should be doing....





This is how the girls respond when they hear/see a 4-wheeler near by.



Update for those that care!!!

I have been awful at updating my blog.. After seeing the date on my last entry, I am actually a little embarrassed that it has been 2 months... Eeek! No wonder my mother has been on my case to update it.. I need to do a better job because I know my family from a distance always checks it!
Little quick update....

Cameron graduated preschool this year and starts Kindergarten in August, I can't believe how fast time flies with kids... Cameron is so smart and is such a great older brother!
He started his first year of baseball... I forget how young he is when he is compared to kids older then him. He was the youngest on the team, but really enjoyed it. I decided to skip T-ball and go straight to Coach Pitch, and I am sure glad I did. He had to use the Tee (sp?) once, but was able to hit it every other time! Most the time when he would get on first base he would jump up and down yelling, "I did it, I did it!" So cute!!! I am still competitive, when half the team was playing in the dirt or picking dandelions out of the field, I just couldn't understand why they weren't paying attention to the game... I quickly realized they are only 5-7 years old, I prob should give them a break!

Chrissy, Chrissy, Chrissy! What a little prankster!!! I already know I'm gonna have my hands full with this one. She seems to joke around most of the time and cracks me up. She is the leader between her and Kayla. If Chrissy thinks it is okay, then Kayla soon follows. Well with everything except the potty. It's usually Kayla going first and then Chrissy wants to show her up, but trying right after... Chrissy is still my snuggle bunny! :) I NEED ALL THE LUCK I CAN GET WITH THIS ONE!!!!

Kayla, Kayla, Kayla has a funny personality. She is the one that can hold her own and can wrestle and play with "the big boys..." She is extremely sneaky too. You know she does something she shouldn't when she is hiding under blankets or the table... She won't snuggle with me and is a very stubborn child.. I am still trying to figure out where she gets that from... ;) I am actually really nervous because both girls are extremely girly and I don't know what I'm going to do when they both want to become cheerleaders... :/

Rory is still working hard to provide for his family! He works so hard and I can't wait until he finds a job that he wants as a career... His calling as the Elders Quorum president sure makes him busy, but he takes his calling extremely serious. He planted a garden for the 2nd year and enjoys being outside working on the yard. He recently finished a fence in the back yard. I am impressed with how quickly he can teach himself how to do something! We are celebrating our 7 year anniversary this year, and I can't believe how quickly it has gone by. I love him more then ever and enjoy watching him enjoy his little family! People still are shocked that we married each other and even more shocked when they realize we have 3 kids together! It cracks me up!

Mom, Babe, Amy, Mrs. Jones is busier then ever! I currently got a new job at the Detention Center and love it. I was hired for part time/on call, but the past couple of weeks have been working full time... I was just glad to be able to get my foot in the door with a job that I will potentially make a career out of!!! And I'm still bartending at Wingers when I can. I don't know if I will be able to give that job up! I LOVE socializing with various people! And I can really be myself there! The money is great too (added bonus). I am busy with my calling in Primary as the 2nd Counselor and am really busy with trying to plan my 10 year class reunion this year. After the reunion I hope I can relax a little bit and breathe and enjoy life! I am more then ready to take a family trip (minus Rory) to WA or OR??? I still don't know where I am going, I just know that I am going!!!!

Okay, quick update so people know what is going on at the Jones Zoo!

Silly girls

Birthday Boy! :)

Birthday Boy!!! We took Cameron bowling for his 5th birthday a few days before his actual big day! It was a blast and of course pictures will follow... I can't believe my baby is 5!!!! All I thought was I AM SOOO OLD!!! We let him decide where he wanted to eat and of course he chose China Buffet... After I dry heaved a little bit, I realized this is where my kid wants to eat, so I will toughen up and go along with it.... You know the place isn't very good when you force yourself to eat Tums before you leave your house! :) TMI? If it is, then you must not know me very well cause I am the QUEEN OF TMI! Anyway this is the picture that I took before we left for battle... :) I love him soo much and I am truly blessed to have such an amazing son in my life. I still question how I got so lucky with GREAT KIDS!!!!!!!
Him being 5 means I registered him for Kindergarten! And I already know that I am going to be one of THOSE mothers that cry on the first day of school.... Him being 5 also means baseball starts. I signed him up for Coach Pitch and on the 1st day of practice listening to all the other mothers complaining, I KNEW it was the beginning of it all! So I walked around the field or I mean chased around the twins during practice, but it was a GREAT excuse to not have to listen to all the complaining! And if you know Cameron very well then Him being 5 means he always gets 5 little cookies, and 5 pieces of candies, and 5 more minutes before bedtime and 5 of this and 5 of that... He is SOOO particular! He is a great older brother and is sooo thoughtful with the girls and so good with them... I just love him sooo much!


Dressing up...

I haven't updated my blog for a long time and when I do I don't update on what is going on in our lives... Sorry! And lucky for you I still am going to skip that part.... :) One day, One day I will get around to catching up on the blog, I just don't see it in the near future... We are all happy and healthy and doing great!

Kim sent some dresses for the girls for Christmas and Easter... They were soo funny, they thought they had to put every article of clothing on... Love them to pieces!!!!!!
