Cute Breanna

Elephant trainer

Yes, Breanna has mastered the stairs. She loves showing us how big she is by going up and down them.

Her Dad is so mean. He's trying to make her be like the elephants in the circus. "Stand on this little stool? No Thank You!"

A Man and His Mop

Here's the history of the Jones Family Mop.For several years, we had been using the Roll-o-Mop from Costco. It had an all-metal construction, with a sponge head. However, they stopped carrying it a few months back. They replaced it with a cheaper plastic version. The mop head popped off the mop after only a few uses! I returned it to Costco for a full refund.

I knew we needed something better than a simple sponge mop. We went to Don Aslett's Cleaning Center. I asked the friendly cleaning professional for a high quality mop. She suggested the Scrubbee Doo. I was a little surprised, to say the least. "Do you have anything more absorbant"? I asked. She replied, "Do you want to absorb water, or do you want to clean"? I told her "I want to clean, da#@ it, I WANT TO CLEAN!"

It was the best decision I've ever made (besides marrying my sweetie). It has a telescopic metal pole, which makes it easy to travel with (yes, sometimes I take my mop to Elmo). The washable mop "head" attaches to the pole with velcro. The mop handles like a sports car. But what really sets this mop apart is the Scrubbee Doo pad. It's a microfiber pad that cleans like nobody's business.

You must get this mop. It will change your life.


A proud man with his mop.

D.I. Exchange and new glasses

Our ward had a "DI exchange", where families in the ward brought old belongings to the church, and other families would take what they needed. Anything left over is taken to the DI center. Breanna found a Buzz Lightyear chair that she had to have.

I got new glasses. After spending WAY too much at Lenscrafters 2 years ago, I finally discovered glasses online. We buy everything else online, why not eye glasses? I got 2 pairs of nice glasses for $52 shipped. Check out www.glassyeyes.com (a blog that exposes the retail eyewear conspiracy and reviews online eye glass stores). I got mine from www.optical4less.com.

Swimming pools and laundry hampers

We found Breanna sucking on her own arm. She tastes so good!


















This afternoon we decided to go swimming. But first we had to drop off a Redbox movie at Walmart. I had everything piled on my lap, including Jason's wallet. When I got out of the car, apparently, Jason's wallet did as well. We got a block away from Walmart when Jason's phone rang. It was a man named "Chip", who said he had Jason's wallet. We hurried back to Walmart, and there he was, in front of Walmart. I'm very sad to say (on my part), but he didn't look like the type of guy who would return a wallet. All of Jason's credit cards and cash were still there. It goes to show you that you can't judge a book by it's cover. It made me think of President Hinckley's talk where he said "the world is mostly good" (or something like that).


Breanna loves to go swimming with her Daddy.
They have a really fun alligator slide. The kids love it, along with the lazy river.

Breanna is facinated with the hamper now. But she tries to stand up in it. She gets mad when she hits her head and gets stuck.

Halloween 2008

Our 2nd favorite holiday - HALLOWEEN!

Indiana Jones has the women falling all over him.

McKenna sure loves her brother.

Blowin' kisses

Braden is Indiana Jones, Cute Breanna is a spider, and McKenna is a cute witch, but she didn't like wearing her hat.











Breanna loves her brother and sister, even though they're weird.












Along came a spider...

We went to Jason's work Halloween party. Breanna wasn't sure about this guy...

Our cute little family..

Not a bad haul.

St. George

We went to St. George last week. We had such a great time! We set a new world record for "# of times in the pool". Braden and McKenna love the pool - they are little fishies. And Breana Caprice liked it too. This is Daddy with his little girls.
They had two pools, but the kids insisted we go to the waterfall pool.
Breanna loved to get on Daddy's shoulders and "swim" while Daddy went underwater.













Almost too far.....



Breanna is pretty sure she could eat her sister. She tastes SO GOOD! She loves her sister so much.

Here we are at Brigham Young's winter home in St. George.
