HAPPY EASTER

Thank you to Grandma Wood for making our Easter so special!! I was planning on being home for Easter but things didn't turn out the way we planned, so Grandma took care of us all. She set up all the easter baskets (I love Kali's morning look so I had to post that picture!!!)
and even brought mine and Krew's to the hospital so that we could enjoy them on Easter. She set up an easter egg hunt for Kali in the hospital room and Kali loved looking for all the eggs and would say, "again, again" after she had found them all. She colored eggs with Kali. She got her ready for church in her easter dress which was from Grandma. SO PRECIOUS! She also cooked a wonderful Easter meal which she brought for us to enjoy. So even though Krew and I were still in the hospital for Easter Sunday, Grandma made it a wonderful memorable day! Thank you so much and we love you!!!!

Krew Ross Jones

I have finally had a few minutes to sit down and add some pictures of our handsome new addition!! My hospital stay was much longer than anticipated and the whole experience was not what I had planned. Lets just say we are very blessed that Heavenly Father has allowed us to raise this little man. To make A LONG story short, I was induced on Thursday at 6:30 am, Dr. Schutte broke my water at 1:00 pm by 4:00 pm I was in the operating room getting a C-section and at 4:59 pm Krew was born!! I know you are all thinking hold on, WHAT?? I was dilated to a 8 when his heart started dropping every time I had contractions, after about 15 min of this they quickly stopped the pitosin gave me a shot to stop my contractions and was on my hands and knee's until Dr. Schutte arrived and yes I was praying like crazy, PLEASE let this little one make it. With the O.R. team on stand by and one more try of starting my contractions with the same result I was quickly wheeled off to the operating room where we found out he has not one but TWO knots in his umbilical cord! Thank goodness I was induced a day early and thank goodness it all turned out all right, like I said, Heavenly Father has blessed us!! He is such an awesome little baby, he is so mellow and he smiles all the time in his sleep, he is so CUTE!!! Having one scar from each of my children is a small price to pay for the joy that have brought to the Jones Family.

BABY KREW!!!

OK,OK, I know this was a sick joke for those of you who have not already seen this picture, a lot of you are looking at this picture and realize this is not Krew, this is baby Brenden, Charlene Hills child. I hope I can get a picture this precious with Kali and Krew!!!!

An UPDATE on Krew! I am going to be induced on Thursday March 20th so hopefully by Saturday I should have some fun pictures for everyone to see!!! There is no reason I am getting induced other than the only other available time would have been next Wednesday and I don't think I can wait that long and with Aaron's busy schedule I would rather have it planned so he can be there and it not be a stressful situation for him or myself:) We really wanted to be induced on March 24th which is Grandpa David's birthday, (Aaron's Dad) but the hospital was booked already for inductions on that day, so Thursday it is!!!!! Another reason is I had to get an ultra sound at 28 weeks to make sure my placenta had moved up, they were concerned about placenta previa. Luckily it was fine but they said he was kind of big in the 85th % and they needed to watch that, they said if he got over the 90% they would have to induce me a couple weeks early. My doctor doesn't seem to be concerned that that will be an issue, but just because they mentioned it the sooner the better for me, Kali was only 8 lbs. and I don't want to try to deliver a 10 lb. baby!!!

Happy Birthday Hillary!

We through a surprise party for Hillary last night! It was a fun girls night with yummy food and lots of laughs, as always!! The party started at 9:00pm, but as you can see Kali didn't want to miss out on all the fun. I tried to put her to bed but she would not have it and her favorite Auntie Erin kept saying, "oh you better go get her, she can come and play, so I did and Kali loved it, she partied until midnight, when she finally passed out in Auntie Mary's arms. In the pictures are baby Jacob and Mary, Hillary's cousins, Marilyn and Mary Ann, then the birthday girl, Hillary, Erin and Kali, Erin and Kara, Leah and Cassie, Brooke and Angie, and me and Noel. YEAH for birthdays! and YEAH for girls nights!

UPGRADE

I am a little sad, I never got a picture of Kali on her tricycle, but she only had it for a month. For her second birthday we got her a cute pink and purple radio flyer tricycle, I was afraid she would grow out of it too fast but every time we put her on a bike she would try to pedal backwards and just was a little to short to reach the pedals all the way around. Apparently she grew just enough in this last month because when we were at gymnastics on Tues. one of the girls had brought her bicycle and Kali jumped right on it and started pedaling around. I could not believe it, so we went and upgraded her tricycle to the new and improved princess bicycle!! She loves it. It comes fully equipped with a princess pouch and water bottle in front and it has streamers to put on the handle bars, but they were bugging her today while she was riding so she made me take them off.:)

GIRLFRIENDS

We live in an ideal situation for kids. We have two buildings that face each other with about 8 apartments in each building. Between the two buildings is a walk way and grassy area all around. So every day any where from 3-7 pm all of the kids gather and play together, we bring out all of their bikes, balls, toy strollers whatever else they feel like playing with that day. This is nice for us mothers as well, because we can just get together and talk while the kids run around and play. Today was funny toward the end of them playing Adilyn says, "come on girlfriends!" And they all ran over to her house to watch a movie, they were all so excited and kept calling each other girlfriends. It was cute! We laughed pretty hard. Girlfriends from left to right Ella, Kali, Drew, Lili, Brylie and Adilyn.

Order PIZZA!

Kali loves to order pizza on her cell phones. She use to do this almost everyday, but hasn't in awhile so I kind of forgot about it until today when she did it again, so I had to post it. It is funny to me that she does this so much because we have only ordered pizza like twice this year. She catches on to things so fast.
