Family visits, Halloween, and random!

Time is seriously flying by now that Jack is here! How do I already have a little one month old?! Can he please stay little forever. Well the month of October my parents came to visit to meet baby Jack and I think it is safe to say they were in love with this little boy just like we are. We were able to spend time visiting, going to the aquarium, and enjoyed Halloween festivities with Tadd's family. It was so nice to have them come visit and I guess it is our turn to go visit in freezing Utah within this next month. For Halloween we didn't really dress up this year, he was just too little so we stuck with a pumpkin onesie and spider onesie. I am sure we will go all out next year when he is bigger. It sure is fun having our own little family during the holiday seasons, I can't wait to start our own little traditions:) Not much else is going on just enjoying every minute of having baby Jack in our life. He seriously is our everything and we wouldn't have it any other way! He definitely has us wrapped around his little finger!:)

                           Like father, like son! So worn out from the day!

                             I am one month old, how did this happen?
                                              Bath time!
                                 No one is taking this binkie from Jack!

The day are lives forever changed...

You never know how much you can truly love someone until you have a child of your own and we got to experience that feeling for the first time when we welcomed our sweet little boy Jack Carter Jones into this world on October 13, 2012 @ 4:30 pm. 7lbs 3oz and 20 inches long. So perfect! He is our whole world and I wouldn't have it any other way! We are smitten and he is the sweetest little boy ever. Everything he does is a first for us new parents and I may be a little paranoid about everything. Tadd always says, "Melissa our child does not need to live in a bubble, he will be fine"..haha it's true I am learning. I love watching Tadd with Jack, he is the best father and cannot wait to come home to us and to lay with Jack, it is the sweetest! I truly have the best two boys in my life:) Our lives our forever changed for the better and I count my blessings each and every day for our little family of three!! 

                                          Just waiting!
                               Tadd of course passed out while wait ha
                                                     
                                         Sweet baby Jack!

                                             My cute boys!
                                        Love his sweet little face!

                                            Mohawk time:)
Going out for doctor checkups!

Update!

So maybe it is time to finally update this blog, it has been forever and so much has changed since last time I was on. Well we moved to Arizona and are all settled in our new little place, which we absolutely love! We are both just working and trying to figure out our next step with school and such. AND are sweet baby boy will be here in like 5 weeks!! I can't believe we only have five more weeks until little Jack gets here. We started to put his room and stroller together, and things up on the wall which is making everything seem so real now. It is crazy how much our lives are going to change in a blink of an eye, but we are so ready for this new chapter in our lives. As for now we are just trying to enjoy our time we have together as a family of two and waiting for the arrival of the little one:)
34 weeks, going on 35!!

Vacation and so many changes!!

About a week ago we went on a Jones family vacation to Carlsbad in which we did not want it to end! It was one of the best and most relaxing trips ever! Walking off our back porch to the beach everyday was one the best things ever, the weather was good most of the days and Tadd and I actually got some sun! Being up here in Utah and at work and school all day sure has made us little white children, so we got fried that's for sure. It was so nice to be able to spend time with family and to be able to relax! Thank you so much Kim and Willie for making that trip possible for us! We loved every bit of it!
                               Tadd and I just outside the condo!

      On another note, there is so many changes coming our way and we are so excited but nervous at the same time! We move to Arizona in less than a month, around June 22nd! Crazy! I can't believe how fast time is flying by. We always knew we were going to move in the summer, but now that it is just right around the corner we are realizing how much we are going to miss Utah. Everyday on my walk around the Provo temple, I look around at how beautiful it is up here and I just want to soak it all in . We have made it a goal to go on a picnic every Sunday after church, which I love more than anything to enjoy Utah summer weather, because when we get to Arizona I don't think we will want to sit in the sun ha! We are so excited to move on and to see what life has in store for us, but it definitely will be a bitter sweet moment when we pack up our cars and head out to Arizona!
      Also, I can't believe we are already Five months along and are having a little boy! We are thrilled to have a little boy and I can't wait to start on the nursery! Tadd thought that we wouldn't spend as much if we were to have a boy, but I don't think he thinks that is true anymore ha! oops!
