"I Love You Mommy"

Yes, Ann Charlotte said "I love you mommy" as I was putting her to bed last night.  I melted.   She is talking so much more every day!   It is so much fun to see what comes out of her mouth.

Today was a failed attempt to get a Christmas card photo.  This is what she does when I say "say cheese".  Hmmm, who knows, I may just have to use it!  It is pretty funny.

Organized Chaos

Saturday was the biggest game of the year...

UT vs. Ole Miss

...in the Jones household anyway.  We had friends over to watch the big game and the playroom was full of kids and toys all day!  It is funny how our Saturday football has changed.  I wouldn't have it any other way...  Organized Chaos!
Go VOLS!

To the Moon and Back

Tonight as we were reading Ann Charlotte her bedtime stories I realized how much I love children's books.


Big Nutbrown Hare had it right when he said...


"I love you to the moon and back".
