A MOTTO to live by?

Meredith wrote this in the sand on our last day of vacation. What a wise daughter I have (I thought) . . . until I remembered her inspiration.
A Hallmark card you guess? No.
A Life is Good t-shirt? I wish.
A billboard or bumper sticker? Well . . . of sorts.

These three words were tatooed across the lower back of a very chunky teenage girl who was wearing a bikini that was several sizes too small for her FAT _ss! Shouldn't bikinis be made no larger than a size 8 or 10 to prohibit such displays of fleshy behinds, bellies and boobs?

And I thought Mer was only reading her book and checking out the boys around the pool.

See Laurie, I do (sometimes) update my BLOG (and at least you have a good excuse for YOUR extra poundage!)

Vacation in Paradise!

Spring Break (At Last!)

"Vacation all I ever wanted, vacation I have to get away!" (Remember the GoGo's?) Wish you were here on the sunny island of St. John.
. . . Heck! I wish we never would have to leave. )

A Snowy Day by Will Jones

Super Will has so much energy, he can now jump over our mailbox! :)
No one in our house is complaining about another snow day, especially the teacher.
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

Happy New Year!

New Year's Resolution #1 -- Keep BLOG updated! Here we are ready to welcome in 2008 after delicious dinner at The Village Inn on Mackinac Island! But wait . . . who were the only Joneses who stayed awake to see the ball drop in Times Square? Brian and Mer who woke up 9 minutes before midnight! We wish you all the best in 2008!

Happy Halloween!

Love from the bug eyed Jones kids! Are they twins or what? :)

You must have been a beautiful baby because baby look at you . . .

at you now! Mer is 11! Time flies when you are . . .

in 5th grade! Over five feet tall and growing like a weed, reading a ton of books, a real beauty queen, ice skating, training for a 5K run, earning all A's (I think), going to girl scouts, playing Webkinz, participating in drama club, taking flute lessons, going to church school and hanging out with all of your friends! :)
