Sacramento Temple-Shelley and Jason's special day

The Sacramento Temple is Beautiful! It is really funny to think that it is the same location where we all (nor cal kids) used to get down on the dance floor. The good ole' mormon center dances.

Shelley and Jason had an amazing couple of days! Their temple sealing to each other and their kis was an sacred experience and I feel honored that I got to shar it with them. Little Mason was so cute when he came into the room all dressed in white! What a little stud.

What is this place? well, it's AGGIE VILLAGE

This is the place Matt and I refer to as the good ole' days. This is where our Logan adventure all started. Some of you have heard me refer to the Aggie village days...well this is it. It is a cindarblock 500 sq foot apartment, where we moved in the middle of winter from our warm California home.(side note: I remember moving in in the middle of a snow storm. Some really cute neighbors helped us as we ran from the moving van to the apartment. My brother Jeff came to help and it took him four hours to get home through the snow storm) This is where we brought Eliza home from the hospital and where we met some of our dearest friends. The apartments behind Matt's car were for the rich kids..namely the "brossards". I love the aggie village days. I even cried when we moved. Can you imagine crying while leaving a tiny little apartment with cinderblock walls? Well let's just say I get attached...

FALL IS HERE!!

Muy Bonita!!

I love this time of year. Don't you?

Isn't this place amazing?
Sunday was
Conference, so in between sessions we went for a drive and picnic up the canyon. This time of year is beautiful....the mountains turn yellow, red, and orange and it smells like fall. If you don't know what that smells like just take a trip to visit us in October.

just a great sunday activity

Midway Campout-the Jones reunion 2008 What's the catch of the day??

Matthew and Grandpa Jones took all the kids fishing.

Carson, Ethan, and Eliza all caught several fish each.

They were rainbow trout, which Grandma Jones

cooked up and the kids said they were mighty tasty.

Fishing was definitely one of the highlights for the kids

on our camping trip. They were sooooo proud!!

We partied all summer long.....

Eliza started the summer parties turing six in April

Owen turned three in June

and then Carson turned nine in July

needless to say there has been an abundance of cake and ice cream....lucky us!!!
