Stitches for Bryce

Well, it has finally happened! We had our first childhood injury. During football practice (I thought flag football was safe) yesterday Bryce and another kid hit heads and Bryce came away with a gash over his left eye. After a trip to the ER, 6 stitches and a hamburger he is on the mend. I was really glad Dave was around to take him to the ER. I am not the best around blood (Eewww). He is doing pretty well.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away.

New phone!

I got a new cell phone tonight. It is really fancy. I will probably never figure out how to use it!

I called Tina this afternoon and we will be heading down ther for Thanksgiving on Thursday. She was in Long Beach at the time, wierd! She was picking up her sister from the airport. Tomorrow they will be going to Disheyland. We were planning on being there tomorrow also! Double wierd! We will have to meet them there! Super fun! We are blessed with great friends.

Last day of school for Bryce and Morgan until January. They took pumpkin bread for their teachers. Bryce is so sweet, he wanted to take one for Ms Jamali (his teacher last year). He remembered that she liked pumpkin bread. How could I pass up a sweet gestrue like that! I made four loaves, one for ms Beck, one for ms Frausto, one for ms Jamali and one for us! Yummy. It makes the house smell so good. I love holiday baking.

Fun with the banner!

I learned how to make a banner today in Picasa! Really fun! I think I might do one for the Jones family blog.

A Busy Sunday

Kari Davis collapsed in Relief Society today. We brought Mikaila, Caitlin and Gabrielle home with us. I was glad to be able to help. She is going to be fine, just a night in the hospital to monitor her recovery (she has addisons disease). We enjoyed having the girls over. It was a nice change to the usually Sunday boredom.


Corry went to his first youth fireside. I think he enjoyed it. The speaker was very good.

The Beginning

This is not really the beginning. But a continuation in an attempt to record the history of our family. What is not recorded is forgotten. Too many precious memories eventually fade. I want to remember.

I am adding some recent events and back dating them to their right dates, so there are older posts.

Corry gets the Preisthood

Corry recieved the preisthood on November 8th. Dave ordained him to be a deacon. Grandma and Grandpa Jones drove down to be here for the occasion. We were so glad to have them here. Dave had been in Middleburg and flew home on Saturday night just in time. He gave Corry a very nice blessing.

Corry is a great Deacon! He is always there to pass the sacrament and loves Young Mens. He has kind of a small group of YM but he enjoys the activities.
