Boondocks & A Candy Bar

Saturday night me and Trevor went with my 3 brothers, my cousins Chase and Murphy, and Cassie to Boondocks. It was a fun night and a night I know that we will talk about for years. We all played some arcade games and then decided to go bowling. Needless to say I am probably the worst bowler on the face of this planet, it's a rare occurence for me if the bowling ball actually makes its way to the pins before it finds its way to the gutter. But Treovr, my brothers, and cousin Chase are extremely good at bowling!

 After we finished bowling, came the most exciting event of the night. Here is the dreaded Snickers bar that everyone had their eyes on...

The object of the game was to use the crane to pick up candy and drop the candy onto this platform. A sliding table would then push the candy off, which this would become your pize. Everyone was crowded around this machine, with person after person playing, trying to get this Snickers bar to fall. My cousin Chase was the lucky winner who finally got the Snickers bar to fall. However, this was after Trevor, my brothers, and cousin all spent about $5 trying to knock the Snickers bar down. We should of just gone to the grocery store and bought the 65 cent candybar. But what would of been the fun in that? What can i say... Once us Jones' get our minds set on something, we have to accomplish it. It did make for a fun evening though.

My family gathered around the machine watching

July 24th

We were able to spend the 24th, or I guess it was really the 25th, with my in-laws. I love spending time with my in-laws, they always throw the greatest parties. We played volleyball, went swimming, played football, had a BBQ, and did fireworks that night.

I love my husband and his personality of having to have everything just perfect. He was in charge of setting up the volleyball net for the party.  Trevor didn't just set up the volleyball net and place it in a spot where everyone could fit and play a good game of volleyball... He had to get yarn and a tape measure so we could measure out the entire yard and use the yarn to line the playing field for the volleyball games.  What could have taken Trevor 15 minutes, to set up the volleyball net, ended up taking him over an hour! Me and his mom were getting a good laugh watching him do all of this. I do love him and this is definently a quality of his that I admire and do love.

 We had a great 24th and love it when we get to spend the holidays with family. We always have a great time with our families!

Birthdays!

Trevor and I both recently celebrated a birthday. I turned 21 on July 5 and Trevor turned 23 on July 17. I love birthdays and hate that they only come around once a year. For my birthday Trevor took me on a shopping spree in Park City! It was the best birthday present ever, and he knew that I was really wanting some new clothes. Trevor got a paint ball gun for his birthday, he says he wanted one so he could fit in with my family. We were also able to spend our birthdays with both of our families, which we loved.

This last Sunday we were able to celebrate my birthday, Trevor's birthday, my uncle Dirk's birthday, and my brother's girlfriend Cassie's birthdays (I think we would all agree that July is the best month for a birthday). My family at the birthday party.
