Some More June Fun

Going through pictures on the computer lately made me realize that I had missed a few months of phone photos.  I couldn't let you miss out on some of the fun stuff in our lives now could I :)  

Ryder received a bike for his birthday and there wasn't any holding him back.  We had some time to spare so we went for a walk/bike ride with Grandma Park.  


Off to a doctor's appointment for the yearly check up for the two youngest.  We are so lucky to have a fantastic doctor...kids love him - which helps!  And he is a great teacher! 



Family walk/bike after school.  


Helped our friends, Orly and Rose, move from the condo to their house.  These two are such good friends already, it makes my heart melt!  


Took a picture of this and sent it and a text to Orly making fun of him for being such a gamer (aka loser).  :)  He told me to check out the bedroom...


So I did...and then sent him this picture with the text telling him that he would have way more children with his wife if this wasn't present in his bedroom ;)


This family is having a gamer impact on our children :)


Yes, yes he does!  


Celebrated Sawyer's fifth birthday - wow, where did that time go!  She is such a little lady! 


At one time there was a retaining wall there....and then a good rain happened and that was the end of our retaining wall!  


Kids quietly waiting for our supper to arrive.  Thank you LEGO!


It was a happy reunion for all when Jule returned after a month in Germany.  


Cool girl! 


She makes my heart melt! 


Fun at the beach.  



Swimming Lessons



How we pass our time waiting for swimming lessons to be over :)


I was packing the camper up and came across this drawer.  Normally the diaper drawer.  I almost wasn't sure what to do with this drawer since we are diaper free!

Jones Family Reunion - August Long Weekend 2015

Welcome to our Jones Annual Family Reunion 2015 pictures.  Close to 2000 pictures were taken this weekend, but I was able to narrow it down close to 400.  But I promise you that I haven't posted all 400.  Here is just a small glimpse of our super fun packed weekend.  We ate, drank, played and laughed lots.  It was such a fun weekend!  

Time in the hammock with Grandma reading books. 


Lots of time to play


Fry Night....so Good!  



The master chef


And his helpers!



My fellow photographer :)


Time to eat! 





Time to visit as well! 



So much goodness on two tables!  




Doesn't my mom look hot here!  






Lots of games were played into the very late hours of the night! 


Time to head out on the water!  








I LOVE tubing!  LOVE IT!  

(I encourage you to enlarge each picture to get the full experience!)




The girls didn't last long! 








Scott and Tannis were the "pick up the tubers that get tossed off" boat...it was a great system!  


Likely the scariest tube ride of my life! :)







Scott is a pest.  Here he is playing "this little piggy went to market"...while pulling off Twyla's fingers from hanging onto the tube.  


It didn't work for the sucker though...as you can see...no Scott :)


Oh and there goes Morgan :)


I choose to get back on to the boat. 






One down....


Two down...


One left :)



LOVE this picture :)


These three!  


Bye, bye two :)



Didn't take much to get the third one off!  


Sydney's face is awesome! 











Scott's pretty happy to be the one remaining on the tube 









Sydney's face = AWESOME!



Us moms (Tannis, Twyla, Nikki and I) headed out for a "calm" tube ride :)
So.much.fun!



The "Oliver tree" grandkids went tubing on their own.  It went well, until we somehow nosed in the front of the tube and then that was the end of the tubing for three out of five.  




Ryder's favourite position in the boat. 



My hunk of a man :)


And then it became my turn to drive the boat and Morgan and Steve on the tube...

Just about more fun than riding on a tube :) :) :) :) 









Cocky men! 


See you!



Nap time on the boat :)


Visiting on the beach! 



The group - minus a few people.  Such a fun weekend!  Can't wait till next year!
