It's Only A Matter Of Time...

... before Matt sees this post and either makes me take it off the blog, or laughs horribly at me (you know the point your finger, throw your head back kind of laugh). The reason why I am telling you this, is because I, myself, find it very funny and can attribute all of my actions to the emotions of becoming a mother of two! So, Matt gave me an iTunes gift card recently and the other night I caught myself trying to catch up on "the latest" music in an effort to break out of the bubble I have been living in for the last three weeks. As I was perusing, I came upon this song... listened to the short teaser provided... discovered that I can be brought to tears in a matter of seconds... then purchased the song. The picture below speaks for itself (as does the current song on my playlist)... don't judge me.

Mr. Bunny...

Reese came home from church on Sunday to find that Mr. Bunny had come and left her a basket full of presents! What do you get a 16 month old at Easter?... We tried hard to put together a basket that she would love to come home to, but when all was said and done all she really wanted were the Easter eggs filled with candy! Atta girl! I failed to get some pictures of the setup before Reese came in and tore her basket apart... but here are a few pics from her egg hunt in the backyard.

On a side note, Max continues to grow like a weed (Matt is keeping his fingers crossed that he will be six feet or taller... he really wants a collegiate athlete in the family!) and Reese is showing more and more affection towards him. Below, I have included a picture of her sharing her Easter Bunny with him... that thing is bigger than he is! Hope you all had a great Easter weekend!

The Duke...

Finally! Here are some of the much requested pictures of our little Max. We came home from the hospital on Monday and have been staying busy ever since! Life with two kids is definitely different, but I am loving it! Initially, Reese completely ignored Max... she pretended that he wasn't even in the room. But after only a few days, she has become absolutely enthralled with him! She gives him kisses and hugs, and she pushes her stuffed animals around in her doll stroller like they are her babies! How cute is that?!?! Enjoy the pictures!

"You mean he's staying?!?!!?"

Maxwell Duke Jones...

Maxwell Duke Jones was born Friday, April 3rd at 3:24 pm. Weighing in at a whomping 8 lbs. 12 oz., and measuring 21 inches, we definitely have a football player on our hands! He has a full head of hair and the longest feet ever! We are all doing well and very grateful for c-sections! Pictures are to come...

San Francisco...

So Matt decided to surprise me with a trip to San Francisco Valentine's Day Weekend. Do I have the greatest husband or what? We left Reese with my parents (my first time being away from her!) and we took the city by storm. We had the best weather the entire time we were there (almost impossible if you've ever been to SF) and it was so good to get away before little Jr. gets here. I keep pinching myself that he will be here before we know it and that I have SO much to do before then. Anyone who knows me knows that I pretty much "nest" whether I am pregnant or not... so it is especially bad these last few weeks of my pregnancy. I have a million projects all going on at once, and my creative/organized mind seems to constantly be running! Oh well... it's the final countdown and I couldn't be more excited... wait... scared... wait... no, excited. Here are a few of our favorite pics from our weekend in San Francisco...

Naked Cowgirl...

It has seriously been too long. So much has happened and I promise a more thorough update is to come. In the meantime, please enjoy this picture of our little naked cowgirl... she is getting so big!

Man Post III: I've Been Tagged!

It was only a matter of time people. The people cruising the internets want to know what's going through this guys head and what's been going on with his life so here we go, lets get to your questions.

#1 How old is your daughter? Funny that would be a tagged question. Reese turned 1 on November 26th and we have just been slackers posting about her birthday. Reese is the greatest thing on earth. Anyone who has seen her chubby cheeks knows what i'm talking about. Reese is so much fun and is on the verge of walking if she learns to walk in the next few weeks she will have beaten me by a few years. My mom says I was just content how I was.

#2 Have you ever been to the happiest place on earth? Yes, I've been to Hucks Hoagies at Lake Winnepisake (spell check?) and had the Philly Cheese with extra cheese, so yes, I have. We also recently took Reese to Disneyland for the first time with her cousins Amelia and Kendall and they had so much fun together. Reese's favorite ride was on the Dumbo ride and Small World. My favorite ride was the corn dog stand that dips the hot dogs in funnel cake batter. It was a fun day Reese loved it and conked out before we even left the park.

#3 Have you ever gone to New York? I'll tell you what whoever tagged me is just dialed in. Yes, in fact we just got back from there. We went to visit my sister Becky who is moving to London. We love New York and we are sad Becky is moving to London. We had a great time and got to see a lot of things and some old friends who live in the city as well. Reese's favorite part was playing in her aunt Becky's windowsill. I know what you are wondering and don't worry my consecutive days streak in the city and eating a slice of New York pizza is still intact. One highlight of our trip was discovering Levan Bakery their cookies are amazing and we will definitely be going back.

#4 What is the status of my awesomeness and facial hair? Both are at all time highs. I've never looked more homeless.

#5 What is the status of my marriage due to the the status of #4? Shakey

Well it was way overdue but being tagged really helped get this Man Post done. I feel bad I didn't focus more on our recent birthday girl because she really is so much fun and brings this guy (picture me pointing both of my thumbs at myself) so much joy. We want to wish everyone a happy holiday season and we hope to see as many of you as we can, as soon as we can. Mostly to show off the facial hair. Please don't forget to comeback when I do Man Posts favorite things and Bullshark's book club. Once again happy holidays and Merry Christmas from the Jones'.
