We just returned from another fabulous trip to Amity so celebrate the 4th of July so I thought, "what better occasion to dust off the ol' blog for an update?" Here are some highlights from the trip.

Don’t have a heart attack… I’m actually updating my blog. I have so many other posts I need to do, but this seems the least daunting right now…(can you say 500 Disneyland pictures?)
Yesterday I went on a fun adventure with some of my besties. We did a scavenger hunt via cell phone in Pioneer Square and I got a chance to snap some shots along the way. Here are some of my faves…
Thanks for a fun adventure, girls. And Happy late Birthday Andrea!!!

It’s no secret, my blogging has taken the back seat since I went back to work. It is what it is. But I wanted to share some pictures from my sweet boy’s special day.
Birthday breakfast…his request was chocolate chip Mickey Mouse pancakes.
Of course, since his birthday is also the “day of pink hearts” (as he refers to it with dismay) I helped out at his class Valentine’s party.
Landon chose to go to Red Robin for dinner, where he got to order anything he wanted.
Starting with a milkshake…
And then of course chicken strips.
And ending with a sundae.
He had a great day. It is hard to believe he is 7 already.
About Landon at age 7…
- Favorite toys are Beyblades and Legos and favorite stuffed animal is “Riley” (as seen in first picture)
- Has a very sensitive heart
- Likes to be my special helper in the kitchen
- Draws pictures for each family member and also makes us bookmarks
- Points out each “cool” article of clothing he is wearing and tells me it makes him a “dude” (Still not really sure what this means)
- Is a total carb junkie. Some favorite foods are pancakes, chips, peanut butter, Nutella, and Cheetos. He does like broccoli and green beans however.
- Shows us his breakdance “moves” whenever he hears dance music
- Wants to listen to Bible stories on CD every night and says he can’t sleep without them
- Is a MAJOR staller when it comes to going to bed. He will ask any and every question under the sun before we can turn off the light and shut the door. He does this every single night.
- He is my little worrier. His little mind is always thinking about something.
- Learning to play the drums and is doing quite well at it
- Says “Clift” for cliff and Pirates of the “CarribeRUN” and “Omly” instead of only REGARDLESS of how many times we correct him
- Is always smiling and happy and is such a joy to us
We love you Landon Matthias Jones!

If you are new to this, the Ten on Ten concept is simple…all you do is take a photo an hour for ten hours and document the ordinary beauty you find in your day. Here is my day in pictures today…
Starbucks date with my sick boy
Back to the eye doctor
Around town
Bring on the meds
Not feelin’ too hot
He sells sea shells
Love bird
Owl love
Song in his heart
Too wired for sleep

We survived! Thankful to be online again, I had to pop on and share some of the pics I was able to shoot during the past few days of what the news has deemed “Snowmaggedon 2012”. Really the snow isn’t what did us in. It was the freezing rain. That stuff is crazy. We have nothing short of 50 trees down in the back yard. It looks like the forest was clear cut. The trees just couldn’t handle the weight of all the snow and ice and if they weren’t falling over completely, the tops were just snapping off! We stood outside our back porch and just listened to what sounded like shotguns going off but what was really trees falling every couple of minutes.
We spent the majority of our 3 days without power hanging out on the “Edwards compound” (Thanks Alice and Cory!!). The girls played lots of cards and spent time doing some menu planning while the cousins had fun playing all day. (I did feel slightly guilty for enjoying myself so much while Aaron was working six 12-hour shifts in a row.) Yesterday, Alice and I took a short walk and were able to capture some of what kind of impact this freezing rain had. Here are some of my favorites…

Well, we finally got the snow the boys have been dreaming of. Of course this meant that Daddy had to go to work, so as usual, the boys and I bundled up for some fun in the snow. It should be noted that the boys are finally getting to the age where the “bundling up” process is not nearly as torcherous as years past. They have also toughened up a bit and can now handle a bit of snow down the shirt or partially wet gloves. This is refreshing to say the least. It does get easier!
The boys played some snowball baseball in the front yard.
He’s so tough…
And here is the yard just after the last major flurry of the day. There was a beautiful sunset behind the trees but I wasn’t willing to get bundled back up to get a better shot than this!
