Faith is the key to all miracles...

Words I've clung to at times in my life.  Maybe you need to hear them today.

2011 Tour
Let's see, week in review, actually 2 weeks in review.  What have the Jones' been up to.  Well, this Jones went to a nice women's conference last weekend, TOFW, Deseret Book's Time Out For Women.  It is pretty cool, my mother-in-law, Jami & sister-in-law, Amanda went.  Its inspirational speakers and LDS music performers.  What did I learn?  1.  That so many others face such bigger challenges in this life than me 2.  That being a mom is a big job and everyone gets overwhelmed with it at times  3.  Not all blessings come in this life.  4.  Jesus doesn't care how many trophies we win, don't be too competitive over things that don't matter.  I recommend going to one of their tours if you haven't.  They are all across the country now.

I fought the vacuum and the vacuum won.  So, I had half the house done, and the belt broke.  Of course, I couldn't get the new belt on.  I'm sitting on the floor, cussing at the vacuum, both kids right there "helping".  Taya stands up and turns around and puts her little arms around me and pats my back, like 'mama, its ok'.  So, dang cute!  It was so precious, it was a neat mommy moment that she is getting big enough to comfort me.  Funny, the belt went right on after that!  (No, the rest of house isn't vacuumed yet, and now I need to start over again!)

Coby is still freezing out of town in Wyoming.  I'm sure I wouldn't have lasted.  -50 below.  I mean really?  Who can work in temperatures like that?  He's tough is all I can say.  Here we come Arizona!

I've been quite busy with my work these past couple weeks.  Makes the cold winter days go by fassstttt!

As I write this my kids just ran into the room, Teague chasing Taya because she has a toy he wants.  Yes, they are both screaming, yes he tackles her to the ground, yes, I better go!
