Fall Fun Already!!

Labor Day weekend we enjoyed a trip to the NC mountains with some friends. It is the most picturesque setting...so beautiful. AND it was just chilly enough for a fire one night!! We also already went apple picking with both sets of grandparents this week. I love some fresh, crisp, right off the tree apples!! It's always a lot of fun there and the apple cider slushies and doughnuts make it really fun!!

Summer Recap

Summer has flown by! We've enjoyed that my parents moved about 5 minutes away!! Mom celebrated her big 60th birthday...doesn't she look great!

We had our 20 week ultrasound, but decided not to find out if baby Jones #3 is boy or girl. The 4D picture looks just like both kids looked as babies. I can't wait to find out...in December.


We had a nice week at Edisto Island with some great college friends. I was so thankful that both kids loved the ocean this year. Last year McAlister was barely sitting up and hated the bright sun. This year he scared me with his braveness!! I miss vacation!!


Check out that golf swing...she was hilarious and played the course 2 times swinging the club between her legs or sweeping the ball. Don't know that we have a future golfer!

Wild & Wonderful West Virginia

Our July 4th trip to WV was great! So relaxing to spend time where Stephen grew up and for our kids to be able to play right where he played! We attempted some family photos, played in the sprinkler, chased a lot of bubbles, and ate really yummy meals that I didn't have to plan or prepare (thanks Big Daddy & Special K!!). After living there 4 years, Huntington holds many fond memories...

It's Peach Time!!!

I LOVE peaches!! We're planning to go again later in July when the Contenders are ready, but today we got some yummy Red Haven peaches. We took my parents and went at 9am to avoid the heat...HAHAHA!! It was super warm, but the kids had a blast, especially once Abby found a ladder to help her reach some delish ones. McAlister kept grabbing them and saying "pull, pull, pull." You can tell he thought they tasted okay!

car ridin'

this is how our car rides look some days when the kids actually entertain one another. i love it!

Girly girl some days, adventure girl the next!

Abby comes down every day after her rest time (sadly she gave up napping a long time ago, like from birth!) dressed up in some ensemble that includes layers of pjs, leotards, princess dresses and accessories. I wish I took a pic everyday. I do laugh everyday!


The creek behind our house is super fun. One day the kids will love it when we let them go alone. For now we trek it together some days.


I LOVE ferns!

Cute stuff. I'm dreading the day we take away the paci b/c he loves it even more than she did...and he prefers it upside down!

Just some pics...

Just a few pics of the kiddos recently. How about those curls on my baby boy!!!
