FEBRUARY...

Emily had a special pajama day in first grade...

We spent a lot of time celebrating FOOTBALL and SOCCER...

 Jack joined his first team sport, playing indoor soccer.  Charlie was a good sport and came to every practice and game to cheer his big brother on...

 Jack got to spend a day as a Kindergarten student!

Charlie had his PreSchool VIP day...

 The Pearson's joined us for Valentine's Day and we made some movies and a puppet show!

JANUARY ...

We had lots of fun ringing in the NEW YEAR with some of our favorite peeps!  The kids had a little dance party in the Darragh's living room while we adults spent time chatting in the other room!

The next morning we headed up to Birch Bay for the annual Polar Bear Swim...

We spent the rest of January watching Jack play indoor soccer...

 We took the kids to the movie theater with their buddies and watched "The Bear Movie"...

 ...and somehow we found ONE sunny day for a hike!

 Emily had her very first friend sleepover at our house...Charlie P!

WELCOME 2014...

CHRISTMAS 2013....

What we really needed from Santa this year was a NEW computer but since it wasn't packaged under the tree  we had to settle for some really delayed blogging!  Very delayed indeed! Thankfully I started a new job this year and lucky me got a lap top!  Let the blogging continue....

On Christmas Eve we went to a mass at St. Joe's in Bellingham and then made our way to Nooksack for the BIG Jones Family festivities...

I hope this was water he was chugging...

After the reading and dinner there was a very LOUD knock on the door...

Auntie Tammy and Uncle Mark, Jack's Godparents, got him the most amazing gift of all...

Jack was so excited for a new violin!

On Christmas Day we headed over to my Grandma and Grandpa's house to gather with my mom's side of the family...

I LOVE that whenever it is time to eat my Grandma rings her old cow bell around the house...
