JELLO gone bad

So Bridger brings me a Jello package this morning and wants me to make some and so i did and set it out in the fridge in the garage and told him it needs to set up before we can eat it. well the garage door was left open and he ventured out to the fridge to find the jello and splashed it all over the floor and fridge and of course himself. He would have got it worse but he was wearing a t-shirt and jeans and they got soaked. I have got to remember to get one of those locks for the fridge. i think it would save me some grief ;)

Hanging out with my brother

Hanging out on the porch like they always did. it was nice to be in Donnelly and enjoy being together as a family. The boys enjoy hanging out on the porch when it is sunny because it feels so good as Gideon would put it. I love to see them together enjoying being brothers. I love my boys!

Kuna Cave!!!

We took a little outing to kuna caves which is just down the road from us and got to go caving with the boys. They have never done anything like this and I was impressed with how they acted and they did well through the whole thing. You start out by getting onto a narrow platform and then turn around and ease your way onto a ladder. This ladder has a back to it which made it easier for all of us. Then you go down the ladder probably 30+ feet and once your down in the cave it smelled smokey. Someone had a campfire down there. Then we walked back into the cave and to this point Bridger had been doing fine and then his teeth started chattering and he started shaking and started breathing hard. I think he was scared of the dark or was getting the beginnings of closterphobic. we walked a ways into the cave and Gideon was quite excited about it all. We made our way back to the lighted area and hung out until my brother Clint and my nephew Richy made it into the cave. It was a lot of fun and the boys did great. I had a sling around Bridger so I could have my hands free while climbing up and down the ladder and Gideon just had to hold onto daddy really good. By the time Daddy came up with Gideon it was quite the work out because Gideon kept grabbing onto the ladder adding resistance to Joseph. So we will continue working on following instructions especially when you are scared. Good Times in the Jones Family :)

Day trip to Swan Falls Dam

You can see who our dog is loyal too. She is my little side kick. A funny thing about her is when I was babysitting Rich and Beccas kids (my brothers kids) the kids all wanted me to sik Akina on them so we had a fun little evening getting chased by the dog and she climbed up the captains ladder to the play loft too. She is a funny and good dog :)



I was asking them to point to a body part so they would focus on the camera and let me take a picture. This one ended up being their nose. CUTE!

On friday we headed out to Swan Falls Dam and had some fun exploring and collecting rocks. The dam was closed to guests due to construction on it but it is really cool cause you can walk through and see all the turbines of this old dam. It was so windy and cold but it was a fun little outing that we had just as a family. Gideon was excited to now have been to the "Snake" river. ;) And it is straight down the road from my parents house so that was even better. :)

Picnic on a sunny, but cold day

Bridger Gideon and their 2 cousins out having a great time with snacks in Grandma and Grandpa's back yard. Good Times!!!
