Kali vs. Krew

Gecko

Kali and I were in the shower this morning and we saw this gecko run up the wall, it freaked out Kali but I quickly explained to her how gecko's are our friends because they eat cockroaches. For those of you who are non believers, I have witnessed it myself, one early morning about 3 am I went into the kitchen and saw something moving so I turned on the light to find a gecko with a cockroach in his mouth, I did a little dance of joy, I had heard this was the case but it was hard for me to believe that such a little guy would actually eat a cockroach, but they due and I love them for it. It makes me happy to hear them chirp and to know they are in my home taking care of the nasty roach population. After we finished our shower Kali kept running into the bathroom asking, "where the gecko go?" I explained to her that he was running around looking for his next cockroach victim! GO GECKO'S!!!!!!

Hawaiian Baby

For Kali we bought a lei for when she was born and took some naked pictures of her with the lei draped over her. So we did the same thing for Krew. Well almost, we bought him the lei but I am not brave enough to try any naked pictures with this little man just yet, he is a leaky faucet. Anytime his diaper comes off he is either shooting poop or hosing down himself, the poor person who is changing his diaper and everything else around him! So this is the best I could do so far. We will see if I get brave in the near future. Here are a few other fun pictures I took, he is so cute while he sleeps and he is constantly smiling, but I have yet to catch one of those precious moments on my camera.

Honolulu Zoo with Naveen Andrews

On Friday we took Kali and Krew to the Honolulu Zoo. We thought we would call our friend Naveen and his girl friend Barbara Hershey and his son Joshua to join us!! JK So what really happened is we were sitting on a bench having lunch when Naveen (Sayid from the show Lost) comes and sits down right by Kali, I first just saw his profile and I was thinking that is crazy that guy looks so much like Sayid from Lost, then he turned at looked at me and I was like, Oh that is Sayid from Lost. I thought in my head, I should ask him to get a picture with Kali, but then quickly decided to just leave him alone and let him enjoy a day with his family. So they went on their way and we went on our way. After we were almost done we ran into them again and my mom was like, "should I take his picture from right here?" I decided no lets just go ask him, so we did, he was really cool and at the time we didn't realize who is girlfriend was, but we looked him up when we got home and realized she was a movie star herself, Barbara Hershey, she is in the movie, "Beaches." I had a pretty relaxing day, but my mom got a workout pushing me around in a wheelchair. Thanks mom! I love taking Kali to the zoo she loves to see all of the animals and she is so entertaining.

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.
