Jones Girls' Choir

This afternoon, the girls wanted to go outside and swim in the "kiddie" pool...which is our friend Laura's from across the street (we're holding it for her since we have grass in our backyard). Well, girls being girls decided to grace us all with a little song. Hope you enjoy it (just as much as I did). I couldn't stop giggling-they're always making me laugh (I should have six-pack abs by now). This particular singing moment was like recording something from the Sound of Music-hilarious! So without further ado-I give you the Jones Girls' Choir.

Painting project...Round 2

I got the urge to paint again today-but at least I already had the paint on hand. I'd purchased this paint to go with the Red (Raspberry red) in Ashlynn and Ellyce's room. They had told me that they wanted their room to be red and pink, but once I painted that gorgeous Raspberry color on the one wall, it just looked so cute with the yellow (which I had painted for Jillian) that I left it.

So it wasn't until today that I decided to bust out the "Blushing Beauty" pink and get to it! Ashlynn even helped me paint-well at least the trim...so did a pretty good job and amazingly enough only got a little bit of paint on herself (and me once). What a big helper-so enjoy the pictures. I'm crazy about painting...but mostly when I'm pregnant and nesting (only 8 weeks left and no more rooms to paint-what is a girl to do).

Ashlynn-Kiwanis Terrific Kid Club Luncheon

Ellyce and Jillian-1st time drivers
Jillian loved the carosel.
So did Ellyce-look at that smile!
Ashlynn-She's one Terrific Kid, isn't she?


Ashlynn was invited to attend a luncheon today at Peter Piper Pizza for the Kiwanis Terrific Kid Club. At Legacy School, she was chosen out of all of the kindergarten classes to be a part of this fun thing. One student was chosen from each grade level to be part of this Terrific Kid Club as well. The other schools in Maricopa also had students there to represent their school and class. We are so proud of her for getting this chance to represent the Kindergarten classes at Legacy Traditional School. According to the Kiwanis Club representative, Ashlynn was chosen by her principal for various reasons like her grades, her behavior in class and behavior towards her classmates, and so on. How awesome is that? She certainly had a wonderful time, as did Ellyce and Jillian...but who doesn't love Peter Piper Pizza?

Painting project...

I decided to paint our bedroom/bathroom-which I've been wanting to do for quite a while now, but haven't had the motivation to get going on it. For some reason, when I'm at the end of my pregnancy, I get that motivation and practically paint every room (okay, I'm exaggerating, but still). I found a paint color that is just gorgeous-it's called TEAL DEAL. It's a deep teal blue color-which I know what you are thinking: TEAL, really? It really is a beautiful, fun, fresh color and it looks great. After two coats of paint, a lot of cleaning up, a lot of crazy kids who wanted to help mommy paint, and some seriously sore legs and back, here is the final product. The wall behind our bed is the teal and the rest of the walls are a beautiful pale blue color which brightens up the room-makes it more inviting. Hope you like it-I certainly do!

I am so creative somedays...

Yes, I know. I sound so sure of myself, but I was so excited after I had finished this really cute apron. My friend, Chantae, made an adorable one, so I did my best to copy hers. Hers is much cuter, but hey, I'm trying my best without a pattern. Here is Ashlynn modeling the reversible apron-one side has flowers while the other has polka dots (a "Cindy" favorite)...Hurray for me today! Let's hope tomorrow is as productive (and creative).
