What we've been up to..

Since I've been absent from the blog lately, I thought I'd do a Picture Post of things that we've been up to for the past couple months.  Have fun!

The biggest thing (for me, at least) is that I finished up my second semester of school with WGU.  This fall I will be doing my Pre-Clinical work (visiting classrooms and doing various assignments), next fall I will be doing my Student Teaching, and I should be graduated by December 2013! (Assuming all goes according to plan).  After that, I will be applying to Graduate School for a MLS Degree (Master of Library Science).  Hooray!

Another big thing was Ruth's debut on stage as a 'real' actress!  She played the part of Hiccup the viking in the play Rapunzel. She delivered her lines PERFECTLY! (and I'm not just being biased).  She even made the audience laugh. :)  My phone died during the performance so I didn't get any good pics.  My dad has some so I'll post them here when I get them from him.

Ronan is learning to write letters!  I did the "R" on the far right, he did the rest.  I know, I know...balloons aren't the best way to learn how to write... but we use what we can.

Ruth told me the bathroom was haunted... this is what I found.

We got a Thanksgiving Point Membership!  Now we can be awesome.

The boys really enjoy playing around the house...

...and making messes.

This was the first Jones Kids Tent in our new home.

Our hallway is perfect for train-track-building.

This is a new favorite book around here. Thanks Grandma Jones!

Jonesy and I went Geocaching during our Anniversary Getaway.  We had lots of fun.

My dad made a pretty awesome contraption for viewing the annular solar eclipse.

This is what we saw. It was way cool.

Jonesy turned 34!  This was his cake.

Ruth made him a super hero badge to wear.

Would you like some cake with those candles?
