Louis
Kate built a snowman yesterday with the left over ice. She named him Louis after her favorite boy.
The resemblance is so uncanny. :)

thanksgiving, a birthday, ice-mageddon, and some other stuff
Today is the perfect day to get caught up on my blogging. We are on day 4 of ice-mageddon and are loving it. It has been a nice early Christmas gift to be at home with the family. This is what has gone on in the Jones household the last couple of weeks:
We went to Missouri for Thanksgiving. We all ran a turkey trot Thanksgiving morning. It was soooo cold. We still had fun. I finished in 30:55. I think that is my best time yet.
Because I am lame or lazy or maybe both I didn't take many more pictures from our time in MO. We did put together several puzzles, the kids played on the trampoline a lot, and we ate a fried turkey....it was so delicious!
I love this picture. Two reasons: 1 becasue Joshua is always making some kind of funny face and 2 because of the One Direction gift bag in the background. Braeden thought he would be funny and wrap his gift in one of Kate's old gift bags. Makes me smile. :)
No cake for this kids. He wanted a Sundae with every topping imaginable. Vanilla ice cream topped with chocolate, caramel, M&M's, crushed Oreo's, toffee bits, chocolate chips, gummy bears and worms, and whipped cream. YUM!
The Young Women in my ward put together a food drive for one of their Wednesday night activities. Our ward was so generous. We collected so much food and other items. It was a huge success and the girls had so much fun while serving those in our community that are in need.
The ice started Thursday afternoon at about 2 pm and did not stop until Friday some time. Everything is covered in 3 to 4 inches of ice. It has been so cold! It is starting to thaw today so I am thinking the kids will be back in school tomorrow. Although I wouldn't mind one more day. :)

Braeden was so sweet. After he finished his race he came back for me and pushed me to run harder and faster. After I finished we both went back for my sister, Tara and finished with her.

This kid had a birthday on the 2nd. He is officially a teenager. 13....I can't believe it. He has shot up this last year and is almost as tall as me. I give him few more months and I am sure I will be looking up at him. So handsome!

Sammy is just too cute. We love him!

One more random....I don't usually like to share these kind of things. I like to keep them to myself but this morning as I got in the shower and it began to steam up this is what I saw. Best husband ever...its the little things like this that I love!

saturday morning service
Cary had to organize a service project for one of the classes he is taking. So, off to Little Elm Park we went with some of our friends to pick up trash. The park is actually kept pretty clean but we managed to gather of few bag loads. :)
