HaPpY BiRtHdAy Grandma!

Today my Grandma Anthony is celebrating her 89th birthday with Elvis an some other family members who were able to make it to St.George! Happy Grandma I Love you! Thanks for always sticking up for me when I would walk on Grandpa grass or many other things! It is fun to have a grandma who always tried to stay as young as her grandkids example: skiing,buying bathingsuits that I wouldn't even think of wearing at my age and I think you were about 30 years older than me know! Great times and stories sleeping under the stars! Hope you have a great day! Love you Grandma!   ps there are pitcures of her on previous post when we met for lunch.

Cooling off

So we had a little heat way last week ( almost a 100)  We  had to head towards the coast! It was at least 30 degrees cooler and foggy! For those of you who are thinking that is no big deal....... IT is to me especially when you do not have air conditioning! My husband will not get it for me! He says there are only a few hot days a year. This is when I do agree with global warming! There are more than a couple! SO if you come to visit the Goett family make sure it is not during a heat wave!

Soccer Camp

The girls love to go to Euro soccer camp every summer! ( and it dosen't hurt when they have little crushes on their coaches disco and dent from Scotland) We signed Alex and Hannah up for the following week since Haleigh was at volleyball camp,but were disappointed when their coaches were different! Oh well they are still enjoying it this week but a little less.

what a girl!

Alexandra is trying to earn a star a day so she can turn them in to get a bubble machine ( got it at target for $2.49 hope it works!) and today she asked me what she could do extra to earn one. I said change the laundry for me. Wow was I surprised to see that not only had she taken out the dry clothes and put the wet ones in the drier and the dirty in the washer, she folded the clean towels!!!!! What a girl! I think she is more like her mom than her sisters!

Week at a glance in Southern California

On the 1st of July (my birthday), My dad took us down to Independence Hall for a look at the replica of the Liberty Bell. We had a great time and learn a little more about our country's history. Plus we always have fun with grandpa bob! JT's buddy for the week was my dad! We went to Knott's Berry Farm with the Tsosie kids and grandpa, the log ride was Alex's favorite! The kids learned some line dancing. We drove to Vegas for lunch(really we did) and got to see Aunt Debra and Great Grandma Derelys. This is her new ride! It was so great to she them. This was Jt's first time meeting Grandma. 4 Generations! So glad I got one of these pictures! This picture of Grandma is much better than the one we took when she was in the hospital when Haleigh was one, 10 years ago! Hannah wanted to have her own fourth of July parade and boy as you can see it was a hit!!! Colleen and Lloyd hosted a great 4th at their home and it was so much fun catching up with cousins! Fun times! The kids also went to the beach with aunt Celeste I will do a post of that soon.

wiennies and rice

If you are a Jones chances are  you have had wiennies and rice while at Grandma Jones'. It pretty much is a family favorite. Well on Sunday evening I was talking to my wonderful father (on fathers day) and asked if he had a good time at my sister Celeste house for dinner. He said, she made wiennies and rice, tutti fruiti ice cream etc... He was in heaven! The next morning after telling Celeste how much dad enjoyed his dinner she said you have to make it for your kids! Brad and Marisa LOVED it. So as always when I make something new the kids are very hesitant to eat it and say it looks like things you wouldn't eat. I have to say when I was your age and we went to my grnadmas house I didn't want to eat it either BUT I tried it and most of the time I loved it. Then of course it is usually the same outcome. Hannah, Haleigh and Alex finished every last bite and Hannah even licked the bowl! Thanks Granna, We all love and miss you! Thanks for the reciepe Celeste!

Another Tooth Fairy visit tonight!

Well ALex wouldn't finish her subway sandwich sooo I knew something was wrong...that tooth had to go! Step one get the dental floss and  Step two the tooth flew across the room! Took a few minutes to find it. Hope the tooth fairy is good to alex tonight!

Summer Time!

Take me out to the ball game!! JT is becoming a regular at baseball goer! Last night was Mormon night @ AT&T park and  Brooke White sang the Take me out to the ballgame. Haleigh and some of her friends found her and took a pitcure. We had a great time and can't wait until next time. I know Brad this is the Giants, but hey Tommy Lasorda was there and while everyone was booing him I shouted out a loud cheer!

Are you kidding me?!?!

Hold on! Are you kidding me?!?? Didn't I just have this little guy? Yep 1 yr. ago on  June 23rd! Can't believe you are already 1! Love you J.T.!

Really Haleigh?!?! Are you really graduating from elementary school tomorrow? I thought it was only yesterday when I was leaving Cullen to go to Goddard. Am I really that old? Yes, Stephanie you are! Haleigh is such a great girl.(Although at times she can sure turn me off with her mute button) I am so proud of her she has had to make some hard choices this year that will help her have great future! Love you Haleigh! I am excited for you to experience Middle School! It was my favorite and I hope its your too!
