Halloween Festivites


I have never been one to "celebrate" Halloween or get really excited about it, BUT I didn't want to pass that attitude down to my kids. I want every holiday to be fun and have traditions that my kids remember and get excited about......SO, this year being that this was Maci's first Halloween, we started a few traditions in the Jones' household. Eric and I had soooo much fun reliving kid-like activities and watching our little daughter enjoy herself.

Enjoying fresh fall fruit




Making Halloween Sugar Cookies

Halloween pumpkins from our garden--We will do this EVERY year. It was so fun to have homegrown pumpkins!

Halloween Morning pancakes

The Girls have an upperhand now!

Well, as if Eric wasn't out numbered when Maci showed up, he is REALLY going to be out-numbered in March. hehe That's right--We are going to be having another GIRL. I would have sworn I was pregnant with a boy this time, but little did I know. The biggest thing though, the ultrasound shows our little girl is healthy and growing right on schedule:)

Motherhood--Life as we knew it


I have been doing a lot of "thinking" lately. I am not for sure if I am hormonal from being pregnant or if it is just the joys of being a mother, but I have sure teared up ALOT lately. Maci has changed my whole perspective on life as I "knew it". I always used to wonder why my parents, especially my mom, would worry so much, cry at a drop of a hat about one of her children, or work 3 jobs sometimes just to make ends meet, BUT know I think I have just a small inkling why. I would DIE for my children if I had to---Does it really just happen like that--Motherhood--life as we knew it changes in an instant? Maci absolutely has done something to my heart that nothing could have done before. I can just stare at the baby monitor and shed a tear at how peaceful she is sleeping in her OWN bed, not mine or the way she grabs at my face as she is in my arms as to say, "Mom, I LOVE YOU!", or when we look at pictures and we stumble upon one of her and her dad and her face lights up as she says"dadda dadda dadda"! Oh boy, life as I knew it is no more--THIS is life. My mom wasn't different, mean, or weird she was just like every mom then, now and after me---our life--our hearts change. This new little sprout definitely threw us for a loop, but my heart must be big enough to hurt and love so more. I loved the life "as I knew it", but hand in hand with my husband, This IS the life now and what a blessing and honor!

1st time swimming

We took Maci swimming for the first time this weekend and she LOVED it. I thought there would be a little apprehension from her at first, but not at all. She has discovered her higher range voice, so that immediately came out as Eric put her in the pool. We had so much fun watching her frog kick and show pure bliss!



All tuckered out!

August

This was a very special month because Maci was able to meet the rest of the family: her uncles and aunt in Utah. We had so much fun, but missed Eric:(
