Where we are....

What is going on with the Joneses?

Brett-

He finished his 3rd year of Dental school on June 16th. We are officially on the count down & it is hard to believe. He works with patients everyday now, & will begin a one-week externship in St. George, working in his Cousin. Unfortunately, the rest of us don’t get to go with him….unless someone can loan us a thousand bucks (just shoot me an email). '

He is still serving as Young Men’s president & I’m sure he will hold that calling until we move.

Kim-

…..I feel so boring…..I have nothing to say about myself. I bathe the kids, feed the kids, entertain the kids, check my email, write product reviews, feed the kids (and the husband), and sleep. Don’t worry, it isn’t as bad as it sounds. In fact, I feel pretty lucky that I get to lounge around playing outside with the kids instead of sitting in an office. I really do have the best ‘job’. I was released from my primary calling a few months ago & now I teach Relief Society….and so far I really enjoy it.

Quinnlyn-

Is looking forward to 1st grade (and so am I!!). Her & Avery play together all day….and they also fight together all day. They spend most of their time outside. Remember those days where you wore your swimsuit more than actual clothes? Well they are living those days. I love watching them make fun summer memories.

Quinnie is starting to get bugged by things Avery does or says (even though it’s not really bothering her physically). She is often saying “AVERY!! That is bugging me….you’re bugging me, you’re bugging me, you’re bugging me”. I love being a referee. She LOVES Beasty & is always playing with him.

AVERY-

Still the treat queen. Lies through her teeth. Unconsciously sucks her thumb at night (luckily she has no desire to do it during the day). Is patiently waiting for her hair to grow longer. Teases Quinnlyn mercilessly. Still has to be forced to wear something other than dresses/skirts. Takes an afternoon nap. WHINER.

EASTON-

Still a fantastic sleeper. Loves his blanket & always looks for the corner to rub on his face. Takes a binky at night…..and sometimes during the day (I know. I know. But sometimes it’s more for me than him). Is my PICKIEST eater. Still weighs 20 pounds (because he is a picky eater). Is getting taller. Hair is getting blonder….and of course, longer. Loves dancing to loud music. Says ‘Hi’ to everyone. Finally gives kisses. Rarely gives hugs. Knows that shoes means we are going ‘bye-bye’. LOVES animals & follows the neighborhood cats around. Loves being outside. Gets a lot of attention from the rest of us. Drinks Lactose-free milk. Had 2 fevers in 2 weeks….one because of Strep throat, the other unkown. ‘Talks’ (it sounds like ‘Gobbling’) more than any baby I have know…..and seems to know exactly what he is saying. Ends most of his ‘sentences’ (gobbling) with ‘Huh?’. Fake cries all the time. Loves playing with cars. Loves pushing things….like the grocery cart or stroller.

New words he says-

• Pinata
• Cookie (Koo-Kee)
• Hot
• Freezing
• Outside (side)
• Pop

And that is that!!
