almostthye end of June- I am blossiming- and we are HOT!






Hi there, Hope this finds you all well... we are at the 32+ week stage and baby Colton is doing well- his arrival date is August 17,2007- so about 7 weeks away- yippee. I am measuring at 42 weeks already- so we will see how far this skin can stretch!I am so excited to finally meet him- I have been pregnant for 19+ years it seems...last baby, so we ordered a belly cast and paint and henna paints so we can capture this bump- forever!!! Jess is doing great- enrolled in a math class for the summer- she is groaning behind me as we speak... I hate math! she bought her very first BRAND NEW CAR! We named it Ella, she is in love! She is s true blessing to me and G, Aly and Jack- and planning a road trip in July with Aly and going to Washington DC for the east Coast SIDS walk in September- what a dream! Aly rocks- she made RJT cheer squad for 2007-2008 and practice begins in July. She just got back from church camp and came home a new kid- bless her! she is as busy as ever- with friends, family, water slides, sleepovers, aaak we miss her! G is still driving- Union is taking forever to pull operators out- so to Oregon, Washington and Idaho weekly- we miss him a lot! He is being great to me during this pregnancy- and like me can hardly wait to meet Cole. His 20 year class reunion is at the end of July- when I am 20 months pregnant so we will see how that goes, might just drop him off! Jackson- well what a complete joy he is- he calls Jess TIDDY and calls a truck a "BIG COCK"- nice sentence! He is so big and speaks like he is 5- jumps on the trampoline like a gymnast and makes us all laugh... he is really into CARS and NEMO right now- just keep swimming! Mom is still in complete remission with almost a year now of no treatment-we feel blessed! HUGS to you all.... Candace and family

more funny photos from this week...






sorry- as you all know I love taking pictures!!!!!!

schools out for summer... and were so pregnant!!

bored




Greetings from crazy Jones home... Jess is done- Aly is officially an 8th grader as of 12:55 today and I am on the mend. My surgery went well- recovery was VERY hard- and then I got pneumonia and thats been rough too. I have been off work for over a month and am so ready to get back to work- I love my job! ( that and I am bored and tired of being in bed)

We are all doing well, despite the setbacks. Mom and dad are doing well- just got back from a trip to Florida where they drove through rain puddles like 16 year olds- I hope G and I are like that when we have been married for 45+ years!
We are preparing for mom to work hard- me mom until Colton's debut in August- right now the date has been set for 8/17 in the morning- thats if this old body and he hold out that long... G is TRYING so hard to get a real job with the Union beginning soon- he is tired of the overnighters to Washington- and we miss him

so next week its back to work- we have lost so many friends - and family in the past 3+ months- Alys grandpa Jim- her Grandma Taylor- Trevor our 6 month old hero and now we are dealing with our dear friend Lloyd and his bone cancer- and three weeks ago aunt Martha in Avila beach- getting old SUCKS!

So enjoy your life- till then,

HUGS and blessings
