Keepin' Up with the Jones'

We went camping again this weekend with our friends Tim and Autem Jones and their boys. They live in Moab now and we hardly ever see them, so it was fun to spend the weekend together. Autem is pregnant too and about to have their 3rd boy. So we had a fun weekend talking about pregnancy and letting our husbands wait on us.


Ally and Jaxon using some good teamwork to gather up some firewood. That's a pretty big log for those kids, their tough.

Ethan has strep so he wasn't feeling quite up to par. He took a rest on the chair while the rest of us gathered up wood.


Sometimes moments like this just touch your heart. They are mean to each other and fight most of the day and then in the night they snuggle up and rely on each other for comfort. I love to see that.


We took a 4-wheeler ride down dark canyon and found this old stagnant pond that had tons of huge tadpoles in it that were starting to turn into frogs. Of course we had to stop and check it out.

The "big" boys trying to catch some tadpoles for the kids.

The "little" boys were trying hard too.

Ethan and Jaxon finally caught some little ones. I don't know why Ally is showing off her belly, she in pretty good competition with me though.

We caught some baby grouse, the mom flew up into a tree when we saw them so we put the little birds under the tree so she could find them.
