HAPPY NEW YEAR!

This year has been such a busy wonderful year for our whole family! We went on many fun trips, and did some awesome activities. These pictures are just a few of the things that our family has had going on this past year!

We started out the year with some great spring skiing!

Jake got his pass this year and he has gone almost everyday over the Christmas break!

Jenny graduated from high school this year so she had the opportunity to go on a few senior trips!

She went to St. George over Spring Break with some of her friends....

She also went to Laguna Beach in June with her whole group of friends for one big last trip!

She also has gone up to her friend's cabin a few times this winter to hang out up there with her friends and go skiing.

Jenny is now going to the UNIVERSITY OF UTAH studying piano, and she is in Chi Omega!

And, as everyone knows, we went to Norway for 2 weeks this summer to visit Aunt Mary and her family....It was a trip of a life time and we will never EVER forget it!

We also got to add a new member to our family! Finnegan Greenleaf! He is our nephew and grandson. We got to see Finn, Koen, Erin, and Clay when we went to Bear Lake in September, and also later in the year they came back to Salt Lake to visit.

I went fishing for the first time this year! Steve is really into it and so he took me to the Provo River. I was lucky and caught my first fish on my 5th cast! It was awesome! We have gone a couple more times since then.

It was Jake's last year of Little League Football. He is going to play for the high school next year!

During Halloween Mom and Dad got to go up to Seattle to visit Erin, Clay, Koen, and Finn. They got to celebrate Koen's birthday with them and Halloween!

We ended the year with an AWESOME Jones Christmas Party.....and yes Santa was there...

Here is a picture of most of the kids of Grandpa and Grandma Jones.

Patrick brought his girlfriend Cheryl, and she had a lot of fun. We thought she might be a little freaked out because she has 4 cousins total, and....well.....we have over 30 plus about 10 kids under the age of 8 running around....not to mention about 4 new babies. But she loved it. And we love it to! I could't imagine our family without the chaos, storms of people coming in the door at once, and kids screaming and laughing constantly.

Here is just a handful of the children that were there.

It was an AMAZING year and we hope we can have another one ahead of us.....

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
