I forgot


I can't believe I forgot this. We were down south a month or so ago and made a quick stop, in San Antonio. I can't believe this slipped my mind considering this was a major deal to Pierson. He is a huge Davy Crockett fan and this will probably be the highlight of his summer. Other then listening to the Lone Ranger at night before bed it's pretty much "born on a mountaintop in Tennessee...." Davy Davy Crockett king of the wild frontier. You should see him when he puts on his coon skin hat and vest, pretty cute.

Will this work?

Normally, I'm not particularly interested in what Oprah is pedaling these days, but today was a little different. She had Jessica Seinfeld (yes Jerry's wife) on the show talking about her new cookbook. I do enjoy my fair share of cookbooks, but this one was different. It potentially holds the key to my children eating vegetables. This is a big problem in our house and causes a ton of conflict. I would love to say my kids ate anything I put in front of them, but they don't. I always said I would not have "those" kind of kids, well I've got "those" kind of kids. Yes I'm an easy sucker for anything that says it will get my kids to eat vegetables so I'm buying it tomorrow. Lets hope its not wasted money.

Summer happenings for the Jones family

Barry's finished!!!! The biggest event by far for us has been Barry's graduation in May.


Made a little trip to Slappy's Playhouse. A fun way to introduce kids to the theater.

A fun trip to the cowgirl hall of fame.

Everywhere we go the boys find the need to do some sort of super hero move. They can't resist a wide open space


Theses pictures were not easy to get. The sky was just about to open up and all the boys wanted to do was get in the fountain behind them.

We started our summer a little early with a trip to my mom's in Florida. We had a few fun stops like New Orleans. We had a great time, but there is still much to be done on the coast. You see the destruction everywhere. It's quite strange when you drive into the city from the east-you're immediately confronted with the damage. It was a wonderful visit. (The French Quarters a great deal)
