October 2010

Hello all! I can't believe that it's October already, time flies so fast. Our twins are 10 months old, that sounds unbelievable. It is getting so much easier though and they are growing into some amazing little people.


So, since we have moved, not very many of you have been able to come visit us. I took the liberty of snapping a picture of our new home so that at least you could see where we have set up camp, LMBO:) We are absolutely loving it here in Meridian. Zach is doing better every day with his job and the kids have adjusted marvelously. Kobe is finding friends and joins me on my nightly jog. Last night he was riding his rubic stik ( think that's the name of it) and fell over...I found it to be quite hysterical, but he swore up and down he had broken his arm. This turned out not to be the case, but I'm sure he'll milk it for some time. Needless to say, I will most likely be running alone tonight. I kind of enjoy it though, it's nice to get a little time to clear my head.


We are going to most likely going to head to Poky the weekend of the 9th and so for all of you in Poky, get ready for the Jones 6, hahaha!!! Take care and we'll see you soon.

September 2010

Fall is upon us once again. Many life changes of taken place over the course of this past year. Our twins were born on November 29, 2010. Carter and Olivia-(I decided that I liked the name Olivia a little more than Addisen)-arrived via emergency C-section at 1:14 and 1:17 pm respectively on a quiet Sunday afternoon at Porteuf Medical Center in Pocatello. Both babies were small, her weighing in at 5'6 and him at a whopping 3'13. They both spent about a month in NICU followed by months of trying every formula available on the market, many many sleepless nights and stressed out days finally leading up to Carter overtaking Olivia in size. However, she is definately the one in control. She is way more aggressive than he is and any chance she gets she is either kicking him, pulling his hair and/or standing on the poor guy! He doesn't stand a chance:(

We made a move to Ammon in October, where we made many new and dear friends who helped me keep my sanity. I had a very difficult time leaving our ward in June, but ultimately decided it was the best decision for my sanity due to the enormous amount of time Zach was forced to work away from home.

July was definately a downer for me. My precious little grandma Nora was called home on the 6th. It was devestating, but having the knowledge that families are eternal and that she was having a wonderful reunion with grandpa Raymond made it bearable.

In August Zach got a new job in Meridian which will enable him to be home with the family instead of living out of a suitcase 10 months out of the year. We have a lovely home and Kobe has an awesome school. So far, this year is turning out to be quite busy, but great at the same time!

Fall 2009

Well, it has certainly been quite a while since I've attempted to update our blog.  We have undergone many changes this past year.  Many were good and some were not quite so good, but did help us get to where we are today. 
Kobe is now a 4th grader at Ellis Elementary.  He is growing like a weed and loves to play football.  He is settling into school this year and is doing very well. Conner our little "monster" is getting bigger each and every day and loves to explore and is constantly on the"go."  We are in the process of moving in with my parents as we speak so life is a little hectic at the moment.  On July 28 we went in for our ultra sound to find out if we were expecting a boy or a girl...However, we came out with some news that completely shocked all of us.  We are expecting TWINS...A boy and a girl.  As you can imagine, we were in shock and disbelief for the last month!  The news is finally settling in and we are getting excited to become the parents of not only one baby, but TWO. 

November 2008

Well folks, it is almost Thanksgiving, unbelievable! Zach is still hard at work as a rep at Alltel, loving every minute of it. Kobe is busy preparing his neverending Christmas wish list. He is doing very well in school and is currently gearing up for the Thanksgiving holiday break. Conner is now crawling full speed ahead and has no fear. He pulls himself up onto furniture and walks around. I have a sneaking suspision that he will be walking before we know it, sigh....Last weekend we went to Island park for some well deserved rest and relaxation. Kobe was so excited to ride the four wheelers with Zach, apparently he crashed into a mountain on their little adventure. I was not told of this event untill we reached home of course!! Bonnie (Zach's mom) made us a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner, it was really good. We will be spending Thanksgiving with the Millward's this year and so we had an early dinner with the Jones'. I will try to be better at updating our blogs, I am still trying to get the hang of it so hopefully I will be able to get all the kinks out before long. As the holiday season is fast approaching, we wish everyone well and hope the holiday season is a happy one for all.

Greetings!!!

Hello everyone! We are new at this so please bear with us. As of today, Zach is a hard working Alltel sales rep. He really enjoys his job and is of course, a natural born salesman! I am currently at home with Conner who keeps me on my toes most all of the time! I am finishing up my degree in Dietetics-trying to pass Accouting 201, it's been a killer. Kobe is now 8 years old, loves sports of any kind and just entered the third grade. He just got back from spending 6 weeks on and off with his dad this summer. He enjoys his visits to Idaho Falls, as his brothers and sisters provide him with something to do. I can't believe how fast time flies, it seems like just yesterday Kobe was born and now he's almost as big as me, crazy.... Conner is a busy 6 month- old who is trying with all his might to crawl. Currently, he rolls and is quite mobile that way. We can't turn our backs for a second or he's found some thing or other to occupy himself!! He is now eating solid foods and drinking juices from a cup. He tops out at the 90th percentile in his height and the 80th for his weight, he's growing leaps and bounds each day. We are hoping to get into a house by the first of the year, our family is outgrowing our present domain.
