Summer Days...

Where have we been? I'm glad you asked... We have had a very busy last couple of weeks. We started our summer by flying up to Redding... beautiful Redding where at this particular time of year the blue, blue skies were lit up with smoke and ash from the neighboring fires! It was pretty hot up there, but we had an awesome Fourth and were with our family so we had a blast. Every night we would stay up super late (the Jones' are night owls...) playing Scrabble, and I have come to two conclusions: 1) I need to brush up on my vocabulary, and 2) I can't play Scrabble with Matt anymore... he is seriously so good and I am a competitive person who hates to lose... a dangerous combination!
After that, Matt and I went to see Wicked. I LOVED it! It was our first endeavor into broadway together and I was so glad that Matt enjoyed it too! He even said that he got goose bumps after the first act! Matt got us the tickets for our two year anniversary (thanks Aubrey!) and it was so nice to have a little date night. A huge thanks goes out to our good friends Kori and Brad for watching Reese while we were out... you guys are the best!
Then it was up to Fresno to hang out with the Mortensen crew. Reese loves her cousin Evelyn so much. I can just see it in her eyes when they played together. She would follow Evelyn around and play with all of her toys. My favorite was their bath time together. As you can see Evelyn was a little freaked out sharing her tub with someone else, but Heidi and I were loving it.
When we came home, we had tickets to Coldplay that same night so despite being pretty tired from our travels we headed back up north to see them in L.A. Our second time seeing them and and we were not disappointed. An amazing show, awesome seats, and again another incredible date night with my honey (thank you Bex and Ammon for watching our little peanut). Matt teases me because the entire concert I was holding my phone checking to see if Becky was trying to get a hold of me needing something for Reese... so I'm a little attached to my daughter. You would be too if she were as cute as mine!
So we are having an incredible summer, and hope you are too!

Good Morning!

More pics to come, we had an awesome Fourth of July and hope you did as well, but I just had to put up this picture of Reese waking up in the morning... I love this little girl!

Our Little Girl is Growing Up...

Yesterday, Reese turned seven months old! I can't believe how big she is getting! She is perfect to me in every way! Right now she just learned how to clap, and her favorite thing to say ALL THE TIME is "dada!" Despite me constantly repeating "mama" to her, she always replies with "dada." I guess it is only fair since I swear that she is almost an exact clone of Matt. She is also becoming a lot more mobile. She looks to be on the verge of crawling, but I think her little buddha belly always gets in the way! My favorite thing to do is get her to smile or laugh. I've done the most ridiculous things for her just to get a giggle out of her! It's amazing the things you do when you become a mom. Next week we are heading up to Redding to see her Nanny and Grandpa for the Fourth of July. Matt and I are really looking forward to heading up there and seeing all the Jones.' We seriously have the happiest baby ever and I am so grateful for her!

Looking like she is in trouble! I love her curly hair!

AmyJean Got Married!

One of my best friends Amy Jean (she loves it when I call her that!) got married last week and I couldn't be happier for her! The wedding was beautiful, despite the warm weather! Amy and I have been friends since High School and I swear that sometimes when we get together, we act as if we were still in High School! It was so good to see some old friends at the wedding and we love her hubby Scott! Here are some of my favorite engagement and wedding pictures...

Matt's Birthday...

So, I neglected to post on the actual day (June 19th) but we were a little busy that week! My honey turned 29 this year and he continues to get even more and more handsome with each year! We had dinner with a couple of friends the night before to celebrate followed by the after party. I'm sorry to say that there aren't very many pictures, but I was too busy playing the hostess! Happy Birthday Baby! I'm so glad that you were born!

Two Years!

That's right folks... two years ago this man walked me down the aisle! It's been the happiest two years of my life! Here are some pictures of our wedding day. Happy Anniversary Baby!

To my man...

Happy Fathers Day Baby! To those of you out there that don't know, this time every year is pretty special to the Jones'. Matt likes to call this week "The Gauntlet" and I like to call it "The Perfect Storm." We have Father's Day, our Anniversary and Matt's birthday all within four days of each other. So this week (along with the other 51 weeks of the year) is about celebrating how wonderful my husband is... To start things out right (and because it is Father's Day) thank you honey for being such an amazing dad to Reese, for without you, she would be a lot more high strung! You are the most perfect man and I love you with all my heart!
