Brothers Don't Shake Hands...Brothers Gotta Hug!

These two bro bro's give me mommy butterflies!

Ollie adores his "cute baby"

Its been challenging adjusting to taking care of a 21 month old
and a newborn, totally feels like I have two babies.
Thank goodness for my diaper shower ;) It's diaper-rama over here! 

But it's moments like these, that make my heart melt. 

Just over the top adorable.

Mom And Dad To The Rescue

My parents are in town and it's been oh so nice to have them here and help me with the littles!
They have treated us to yummy dinners, helped pick Ella up from school, have been keeping Ella and Ollie entertained by taking them to the pool, having sleepovers at campland, going to parks, So I can get some Leo snuggles and naps in.

Thanks Grandma Lola and Grandpa Allen, you have been so great!

 Hitting the Arcade...Ollie was in Heaven

 Lots of hospital visits to snuggle new babe 

Leo's 1st big adventure out and about, was on memorial day, just four days old, we pack up our new family of 5 and headed to a big fun park in Lakeside that my dad found and the kids had a ball.

 Proof Leo was actually there and just snoozed through it all :)

My parents leave on Saturday and I'm scared to go it alone with out help..gulp...wish me luck.
I'm sure I'll get use to this organized chaos of juggling 3 kids and being out numbered.
Having sleepless nights with a newborn, my toddler who is now entering the terrible 2's, tantrums here we come, and a 1st grader with a busy school schedule.

You sure you don't wanna stay forever mom and Dad?! :) 

Thanks again for everything. We Love you!

How Wonderful Life Is, Now Your In The World

He's Here!! 

 My baby boy was born May 22nd at 4:18pm

Weighing in at a whopping 8lbs 4oz! 

By Far my biggest baby!

Ella was only 6lbs and Oliver was 5lbs 12oz

I was shocked to have such a big boy.

We are all completely smitten with this little slice of heaven.

  head over heels in LOVE! 

 Proud Papa. 

The boys out number the girls now.

 I could just stare at this little face all day! 

and I basically do in between kisses and snuggles

Ella was really pulling for his name 

After being in the hospital for 3 days and changing his name
back and forth and back again

My I proudly introduce....

Leo Davis Jones

The kiddos are enamoured and loved him up right away.

In fact Ollie loves on him a little too much, 

we are teaching him how to be "so soft" with new baby Leo

 These pictures melt my heart and turn me into mother butter. 

I can't believe these are all my kids.

 Oliver and his new baby bro. 

They are going to be the best of buddies I can tell. 

Brosephs in the making

 Jones now party of 5!

 1st family of 5 pic...not the best, but the 1st

 On our way home....

Leo is not so sure if he's ready for us yet ;)

So so happy to have him here all safe and sound
and to not be preggo anymore :)

We love you little man, to the moon and back. 

Welcome to the family

Last Family Outing Of 4

Or so I hope ;) 

Baby is due this week so we had to get in a few last hurrahs.

 Been getting lots of snuggles in with this little guy
before he's not the baby anymore

 And as a thank you, he helped pack my hospital overnight bag with his left over mac n' cheese. 

Just in case I get hungry while I'm there?!

 Took the kiddos to ride yet another train....

Ollie is slightly obsessed with trains, and Ella goes along for the rides

Had a few date nights with this handsome guy
(Horrible lighting and bad pic but we did get in a few fun dates)

 Of course had a few more girls night out to
extraordinary desserts and D-Bar 
since I'll I crave these days are sweets, sweets, sweets.

I'm gonna miss that :(

 Family beach day. 

Even though I felt like a beached whale waddling along the beach almost 40 weeks preggers, it was fun to get in a last hurrah with my family of 4....soon to be 5! crazy

 My posing queen

 Ollie deciding if he trusts the waves to go into the ocean or not...

Daddy to help coax him in.

 Beach, giant snow cones, and boats rides....pretty great Saturday.

We are ready for you baby Jones #3 you can join our family anytime :)

Running With Animals

Dan Crushed his 2nd half marathon!

He never even trains for these things...its crazy! I think he ran maybe 3 times before the marathon due to his busy schedule and he still manage to shed 19 min off his last marathon time and came in right at 2 hours.

My guy is pretty impressive.

 It was held at the San Diego Safari Park

They ran by all kinds of wild animals to keep them entertained.

Ella was pretty excited about that.

He ran with his law firm again. Team HPI rocks! 

Maybe one of these years I'll attempt to join them....
but then again maybe not :)

Putting My Little Minions To Work

 My swollen piggies are back...
They made their debut right at the end of my pregnancy. Oh joy.

To make my minions earn there keep, I make them rub my big old feet. 

Ain't nothing wrong with a little child labor right?! ;)

Don't worry I reward them greatly 

with lots of cuddles and splash parks with friends. 

I think they like their payback.

Baby Buns

My amazing friends threw me a baby shower a few weekends ago with the cutest theme of "Buns for Days" all things I would need for baby buns. (Since ill have two in diapers this seems very useful...plus I do have big buns for days myself, ;) lol!)

 I have some very talented friends let me tell you. When it comes to hosting a party, decorating, and making super yummy food, they have it all figured out. Mama and baby Jones #3 sure felt the love.

Check out this spread! Beautiful!

 My all time fav chocolate cake...nom. want some right now.

Little back story here...This tropical creme pavlova is my favorite dessert at Extraordinary Desserts. This delicious place, is a regular ladies night outing for us girls. How my multi-talented friend Lela, made this from scratch is beyond amazing to me...She is a super star! When I saw she made this I got all giddy and I might have done a little happy dance. It. was. pure. heaven. Yum!!

 Lela, served it all fancy pants like this with raspberry and mango sauce and topped with white chocolate shavings...you dying yet? I did. so good!

She framed my preggo pics surrounded by fresh flowers from her garden. 

Fresh flowers were incorporated with all the decor. Smelled so good.

Here is just a portion of all my diapers, wipes, lotions and goodies I got. 

I'm set for baby buns for days

 Hostess pics. Love these beautiful faces.

Lela, me, Chrissie, Stephanie
