Every year on New Year's Eve we pick a theme
and have a party with all of the Jones'.
This year the theme was the "80's".
Almost eveyone dressed the part.

Christmas Dinner!
One of our Christmas traditions is to have all the Jones' over on Christmas Day for dinner. We always have lots of food and lots of fun. This year Dayna was here all the way from Texas. Others that were here included: Lonnie, Betsy, Kaylei and Adam; Nancy, Aaron and his girlfriend; Tami, Dan, Evan and Siena; Dale and Millie and all of our family for a total of 24. We missed Gary, Jill, Zach, Chelsea and Mallorie who were spending the day with Jill's family.

Christmas Eve!
We spent Christmas Eve with the Sharp side of the family and had a great time. Just a few days earlier, Mom got a new puppy. Her name is Sophie and she's a Chihuahua/Pomeranian mix. She weighs about 2 pounds and is so adorable.

Cooper Playing With Papa
Cooper has learned to smile now and so I tried to get a video of him playing with Papa so you all could see how cute he is. Beware though, the camera work is not that good!

Cooper's Blessing
These are a few of the pictures we took at Cooper's blessing on Sunday, November 16th. As I've said before, there is nothing quite like a newborn baby....especially when they are your own grandchildren. I just love the picture of Janae, Kiera and Cooper sitting together on the couch.
Birthday Celebration!
This year for my birthday, my family surprised me with many fun activities and events. Steve had made arrangements to pick me up from work early on Thursday and to have the day off on Friday. When he picked me up he took me to the Portland Oregon Temple and then out to dinner. When we got to the Temple we ran into one of my cousins, Teresa Fisher and her husband Gordon. It was a nice surprise. We were able to sit by each other during the session and then to have a good visit afterward. After dinner, Steve took me to Andrea and Chris' house to see Cooper. We spent the night and in the morning Steve and Chris went golfing and we met Heather and Janae and Kiera at the mall for a fun shopping trip. Later that afternoon/evening the rest of the family joined us and they surprised me by taking me to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants in Portland, the Rhinelander. The food is great and as you can see in the picture behind me they have an accordion player that wanders around the restaurant serenading the guests. We like to sing along and we always make a request for them to play "The Chicken Dance". All of our kids and their families were there along with Tami, Dan, Evan and Siena. It was a lot of fun to be with them all. After dinner we went to Heather and Jeff's house to open presents and spend the night. On Saturday all of the girls went to a holiday craft fair in Vancouver. Sunday morning Cooper was blessed by his father, Chris, and Steve, Kevin, Dan, Chris' father Ernie and his grandfather all stood in the circle. Jeff was not feeling well and Chris B was in Washington attending a class so they were not able to be there. It was so wonderful to share this special time with family and hear the blessing. After church we went to Chris and Andrea's house for brunch and spent some time together with Chris' family. It was a great birthday weekend and I very much appreciate all my family did for me. I love them all!

Congratulations Kim and Chris!
With so much going on in our lives right now I have been slow getting some important and wonderful news posted.
On October 6th, Kim and Chris surprised us with the news that they are expecting their first baby on May 19, 2009! We are so excited for them and are looking forward to our 4th grandchild.
The Pumpkin Patch
One of the things we did on the farm was visit the pumpkin patch. Janae and Papa spent lots of time looking for just the right pumpkin to take home. Kiera liked riding on the hay wagon.
Fun on the farm
On Saturday we went with the Swanson's to a farm that has all kinds of activities for families. These pictures represent just a few of the things we did. It was a beautiful day and we really enjoyed watching Janae and Kiera having fun.
Great Grandpa and Grandma Sharp
Andrea's grandparents came to meet Cooper on Saturday morning. Cooper is their 5th great grandchild.
Home From The Hospital
Andrea was finally able to leave the hospital on Wednesday. The first picture is of Cooper all ready to go in his new car seat. The second picture is of an exhausted Andrea and Cooper after we got them settled in at home. The third picture is of Cooper enjoying his own personal swing.
