Gilcrease Orchid & the pumpkin patch

 Sunday morning the jones side of the family met bright and early at shmae & h's house and we all headed to the gilcrease orchid. Shmae & H always go get veggies and fruit there but everyone else hadnt been so we thought it would be fun to all go together. The kids had such a fun time picking the right pumpkins, & they love being together anyway. The pumpkins from the orchid are so much nicer than from the pumpkin patch and cheaper too! However we do have a family tradition of going to the pumpkin patch. We always go on the 15th of October because it is the anniversary of our family getting sealed in the temple! The girls love all the rides & of course the petting zoo. Despite the girls not feeling 100% this year & it being pretty windy, it was still fun & I love that we have this tradition that the girls always will remember us doing. 
I have this funny face because I was saying " SSSSSSTTTTEELLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAA" her face is priceless though. 
Love my sister tara 
Uncle kole 
Dare devil ruby 
Ally the blur 
As good as family pictures get ;)

Primary Program 2013

Our biggest diva performed in her first ever primary program yesterday (10-13-2013) she was SO excited to get to talk in a real microphone! (A girl of my own heart) so we had been practicing her line and songs for a bit, she had her line memorized which was "family scripture study strengthens my family" except when we would practice she would always say "Family scripture study strengthens my Sofia" ha then sometimes she would say "okay mommy this is how Sofia would say it" and would talk in a high pitched voice, or she would say it in a British accent!! So hilarious. So kyland and I really had no idea what she was going to do up there. The time came & she was so excited to get to sit up in the front, but watching her go up there like a big girl did make me a little sad, my first baby definitely isn't a baby anymore & I try not to focus on how big the girls are getting because I do love watching them hit new milestones but this one for sure tugged on my heart a bit (okay A LOT)  we couldn't see her a ton when they would sing because she is so teeny but I'm sure she was singing away. When her part came she bopped right on up and totally owned her part. Except she said "family scripture study strengthens my fam- ( & she hopped down while finishing the word family). For her first time ever though, I couldn't have been more proud! She loves the attention ( hmmm I wonder where she inherited that from) and she wasn't  shy at all! Both sets of grandparents came and I know that she loved being able to share that with them!!
 She was on the "phone" perhaps speaking with her agent ;) 
Fabulous 
She is going grow up to be the next Rachel Zoe, seriously she is so into fashion HA
These two melt me!! ( if Stella could stand she would be there too) they are total BFF's & ruby was so worried about where "sister" was during sacrament!!

HAPPY OCTOBER!!

I know we are already like way past October 1st but oh well. I love.love.love October. It's one of my favorite months for sure. The weather is finally nice, pumpkin patches, hocus pocus all month long, pumpkin flavored everything, HALLOWEEN!! The list could probably go on and on!! So to celebrate the girls wore their matching skeleton pjs which should totally be made in adult size!! 
I've never seen 3 cuter people in my life. 
However lets talk about how they struggle with pictures. I mean out of probably 17 pictures we got ONE decent picture... This can't be normal HA



sofia.peppa.izzy.ally.lucy.allyson

Confusing title to most I'm sure but these are the names my oldest child enjoys going by. Most of the time it's Sofia( more on that later) but through out the day it changes, Only my dad can call her Lucy, which makes since because he has called her that since before she was born ;) however she refuses to let anyone call her Allyson she prefers "ally" which drives me bonkers!! So if you haven't caught on yet, this post is going to be about ally! Some funny stories things she says so that when I'm elderly I can remember my sweet sassy determined 3 year old. 

* okay so back to "Sofia". There is a show on disney junior that is about a common girl that becomes a princess. (A little Kate Middleton inspiration perhaps) anywho Allyson is OBSESSED! She always insists on us calling her Sofia, we always just played along. One Sunday we go to pick her up from sunbeams and we say "ok Allyson lets go" her sub teachers says "what's her name? She told us her name was Sofia, & even corrected me when I called her sofie." HAHAHAHA come to find out, everyone in primary thinks her name is Sofia!! So incredibly funny to me! 

* Allyson is participating in her first ever primary program and she is so excited to be able to talk in the microphone. She has her part memorized and I will update this coming week on how it actually goes!

* she really loves learning, which I think is fantastic! She has known all of her letters and their sounds, but now she is writing them and identifying more and more words, we are in our way to reading!! She can also count to twenty and can identify numbers. 

* She enjoys all things girly, painting her nails, curling her hair, going to the mall, PINK PINK PINK, but she also loves bike rides with daddy & helping daddy in the shop. 

* Allyson's favorite movie is probably Peter Pan. She quotes it about 1000 times a day & she and ruby always are running around pretending they are hook and pan.

*a funny story she had asked me to put in a movie, I put in the wrong one and once I realized it she said " I mean for the love!!" Which is hilarious to me because that is something I say A LOT!! 

* speaking of her mimicking me, hearing her interact with her sisters is the sweetest thing, she is total mommy to them(sometimes) & I love watching her become a little person.

* a couple months ago I was folding laundry and she came up to me and says " mommy I will be in charge of the girls and fold the laundry, you can go take a nap!!"

* ally will make friends everywhere we go, she is not shy at all and she just has such a sweetness about her. However she is also the most dramatic child I have ever met!! But hey that's Allyson and one of the many qualities we love about her. 

* she will twirl around all day & would wear her leotard & red cowgirl boots every single day if I would let her. She insists on dressing herself which leads to some pretty interesting outfits some days. 
She still loves her purple blanket and her pig "bacon"
Sometimes we have family sleepovers 

She's definitely mine!!
Allyson was so excited that she can write uncles h's name. 
She's writing her name!! Well kind of, she refuses to write Allyson because her name is ally. 
This is a very rare site, she has never been a "car sleeper"
