Lights on Temple Square

I was recently put in the Young Women's Presidency, and I love it! Sometimes it's weird to think about me being their leader because I feel like I am still in Young Womens. But then when I actually do the math, it was some 7 years ago....crazy to think about. We have a pretty small group, but they are so fun and I feel like I am starting to build some friendships with all of them. For mutual last night, we went and saw the Christmas lights on Temple Square. BEAUTIFUL! I can't remember the last time I had walked around Temple Square at this time of year. It was so fun and there is definitely a sweet spirit there as you walk and see the beautiful lights and manger scenes from all over the world. I had wished that Wynn was with me last night, but I'm sure that we will go back soon since we live so close. I am so grateful for temples and the beauty they display all over the world.

Trick-or-Treat!...from the Turtle

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Isn't this the cutest turtle you have ever seen? We took him to our ward's Trunk-or-Treating. Let me just say, he had so much fun walking to all the trunks and picking out his own candy. He ALWAYS had to have a piece of candy in each hand. He was so funny to watch. He was squealing and yelling walking to each trunk. And can I add that he wasn't a slow turtle! He was definitely a speedy turtle! It was so fun! I can only imagine how Halloween will be next year!






These are Chandler's 1 year pictures that we just took with Grandma Jones' pumpkins from her garden. They turned out really cute!

The Birthday Boy!!

It's been a year!!! Wow. I can't believe it! Today I have had so many different memories of 'what was happening this time last year!' It is so crazy how I remember everything as if it were yesterday. But at the same time, it seems like Chandler has been around for a long time too. I am so grateful to be his mommy. I love it. Although I know that I show my frustrations, especially to my husband, I wouldn't have it any other way. AND although Chandler was supposed to be my baby girl....I still wouldn't have it any other way. He is so fun these days. He is kind of a little momma's boy, and a little on the sensitive side. But of course, I love him a lot!! I thought I would post just a few pictures of his birthday last year, as well as this year!!! I love you Chanman!!!






These are the birthday gift(s) from Grandma Lori & Grandpa Chandler. Thanks so much! Chandler loves his new toy and outfit!! We love you.

Memories in Florida

This summer has been so crazy, but fun. I think that I have been to more states this summer than I have in the last 23 years!! It has been been way fun. We just recently got back from vacationing in Florida with the whole Jones family. Our condo was right on the beach so we were pretty much out there every day. Honestly, I can't say that I LOVE the beach, mainly because Chandler wasn't thrilled about it either. I think that he will probably like it when he is a bit older. We went on an Everglades tour that was fun. we saw lots of crocodiles. We did enjoy our time with family that we love. We are grateful to Wynn's mom for arranging this vacation!!!! We love you!







Look at this 1,000 lbs. crocodile!!! He was HUGE!!


We all had to wear earplugs on the airboat because the motor was so so loud. ......of course, Chandler hated the earplugs, and his life jacket.

We had a little slumber party in the ER. Due to the humidity, Chandler was having a really hard time breathing. This was part of the trip that wasn't very fun.

These pictures are from a family reunion at Island Park in July.

The Tucker twins didn't want to share their ride with Chandler.

I thought these pictures were so cute of Chandler and my grandma Luke



Chandler's first boat ride!!!!!

Happy 2 years!!

Wynn and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary on Monday. It's amazing how fast time flies!!! I am so grateful to have shared these past 2 years with Wynn and I look forward to many, many more wonderful years with him! I love you Wynn!

4th of July weekend

We had a great 4th of July weekend! We went camping up Farmington Canyon with Wynn's brothers, Andy and his family, and also Greg. It was our first time camping with Chandler. He did awesome!! Wynn was pretty excited to take his little boy camping, although he probably won't remember his first camp out. We then watched fireworks over at Andy and Kayla's and grandma Jones surprised all of us. It was fun to have her for the holiday.
