Basketball Jones

I got to help AI our deer this year! Jones was in school so I was free! It was neat to watch. I hadn't help in about 6 years with that!

Jones started basketball this year. He loves it!
 
He's pretty hardcore and all in while he's playing.
Daddy is pretty proud! It's a short season with only 5 games....
Since we had daddy with us this week we ventured over to SA after church for some grub and top golf!
It was fun as usual and the food was yummy! And jones was in the competitive zone, as usual,ha!

Staying Busy

We have had hunts every day for the past 3 weeks. While Cody is entertaining, J and I stay busy. They had a neat dinosaur thing in Uvalde one weekend. This thing was so life like other than the two human feet connected to the legs. This T-Rex, moved life like, blinked, roared and felt real!

Jones was a little iffy at first but walked right up to it and petted it.
We got a dinosaur tooth!
Walked around the museum and saw lots and lots of dinosaur bones, skulls and teeth.
And watched a little show.
Jones is reading by himself!!!

So happy to have a great group of girls in this town that we get to hang out with and get to pick fresh fruit off their trees!

Funny story....

Jones is smart enough to make his own food choices, and 95% of the time I let him make the decision. Whenever he is faced with a choice of food that he might have a reaction to I usually just remind him and most of the time he will pass but every once in awhile he will partake. The other day someone gave him a hostess cupcake, and he looked at me like, "ok, what will this do to me?" I told him he might get a headache but maybe not and he knew it wouldn't burn his face so he ate it. He closed his eyes and said, " mmmm, this is sooo good, I better sabor(savor) this bad boy, I might not ever see one again,". I literally spewed out my drink thru my nose. A couple hours later he came to me with his head hurting. He said it was just a little one and totally worth it,ha,

We've had a birthday party every weekend so far to attend. Jones has loved them all!

I introduced J to "Hook!" He loved it!

Cody has been sending me daily pics of himself so we won't forget how he looks, ha! Looking forward to next week and 3 days with Cody without hunters!!!!

New year, New Grace

After 2 months of junk food and traveling and letting Jones devour anything he wanted, it finally caught up to him. Luckily, we were just starting our routine, and getting back into home cooked, real food meals so it cleared up real fast.

Jones helped me prep lots of freezer meals one day. I've learned when he can help cook, he eats a wider variety. He's starting to eat more meat and trying more meat!

He actually ate chicken the other!

I did a 3 day juice cleansed that made me feel so good! Jones enjoyed all my juices to and I think that helped clean him out too along with his other meals!

Our new love is chia seeds! We've been making pudding and smoothie bowls with them! Cody even tried it and was surprised at how good they are!
Aunt T got Jones lots and lots of art supplies for Christmas. He got lots of paper, paints, water colors, chalks, pencils, markers and brushes galore. He's been sitting at my desk everyday drawing or painting.
He loves it!

This was his first piece! Not too shabby for his first water color picture!

New Year

2015, where in the world did you go? 2015 didn't start out so great but it definitely ended on a very high note. I made my usual black eyed pea dip by the Pioneer Woman. It was yummy as usual. Not sure why I only make it once a year. It's definitely an all year recipe!
A lot of door control people came down for the New Year so we just all hung out by the fire.
The next day it rained and rained and rained. We had a mini lake in our grass free yard! Ready for spring when I can get our yard the way I want it! Bring on the grass!

I was hoping things would start to slow down but not so much. Lots more deer hunts, then on to spring turkey hunts then baby season. We get to throw in a few deer auction, fun weekend getaways and we get to throw in a 10 year anniversary trip this year!

2016, please be good to us!
