Being a Big Boy

I have been so impressed with Adam and how he has taken on the role of big brother. He hasn't reverted, he hasn't throw tantrums, he actually has grown up so much, and wants to know where "our" baby is and what he is doing. The best was yesterday though- we are trying to pack to get ready to go spend Thanksgiving with my family, so we were cleaning the kids room trying to find all the dirty laundry. I told Kenzie to take hers to the laundry room and sort it. So then Adam asked if he should take his to the laundry room, and I said yes of course. A little while later I hear the dryer buzz, and I thought didn't the dryer already buzz? Then Adam comes back to his room and says- Mom I don't know what button to push. I told him that was okay, not really knowing what he was talking about. A little while later I went to move the laundry, and all of Adams dirty clothes were in the washer (on top of a load that needed to go into the dryer). No biggie I thought I will just pull them out, as I pulled them out I realized there was soap on them. Adam had put his laundry in the washer, added soap and was trying to turn it on?!? How cute is that? I thought it was so sweet. Of course I had to rewash what was already in there, and clean up the soap spilled on the floor, but it was just so sweet how much he wanted to help, he is 2 and doing his own laundry!!

Somthing to Blog about!!

So when I wrote in my last post, the next time I post it will probably be to tell you about a baby, I really didn't think we would be having a baby 2 days later. None of my sisters, or even my mom I believe has ever had a baby come early, it has always been due dates or later, in fact I really thought that I would be spending Thanksgiving in the hospital. So imagine my surprise when I went to the Dr. on Friday and I was dilated to a 4! Needless to say Richards fishing trip for the next day was cancelled and I went home and packed for the hospital- yes I wasn't even packed yet, I had just barley gotten out the baby clothes, and washed them the day before (they were still in the dryer) I am usually so prepared for things, it was actually comical to me that I wasn't ready. But everything worked out just fine, and at 7:04 pm we welcomed
Andrew Curtis Jones 8lbs 10oz, 22 1/2 inches to the world!

Everyone is adjusting really well- not sleeping so much yet, but getting better! So enjoy the pictures of our new baby boy!

Nothing to Blog about?!?

Can it really be possible I have nothing to blog about lately. I really can't think of anything new and exciting that is going on though. Our weekend was very low key. I tried to finish my Christmas Shopping, and Richard took the kids on a dump/recycling run. Sorry no fun pictures there?!? Sunday I took the kids to visit my parents, they spoke in their ward about their mission. It was a nice trip except for Kenzie getting car sick on the way there and puked as we pulled into the church parking lot. Luckily I am getting smarter and had the back-up clothes all ready to go! Again sorry no pictures there!! Now it is just getting ready for the baby week. I can hardly believe that by the end of the month there will be a baby at our house! So stayed tuned- that may be the next time I post, to let you know if a Bob or Barabra has joined our family (and no those are not names we have chosen for the baby!!)

I Voted, Have You?!
