Welcome to our blog!

We're the Jones family and welcome to our blog! We're doing this simply as a way for our friends and family to stay updated on what's going on in our lives - and a selfish way for us to archive and remember all of the wonderful times we have as a family.

It's just the four of us - Scott, Katy, Tyler and Jake. Here we are on the day after Christmas 2010...

Tyler (left) is three and Jake in the middle is about to turn 5 months old. We just wrapped up a wonderful holiday break with lots of festivities, eating and relaxing! I made Tyler and Jake take the ceremonial "sitting in front of the tree" picture before we opened any presents.

This year was the first Christmas that Tyler really reveled in the magic and spirit of the season. In fact, he's still asking "Santa's watching me?" to which I respond, "Absolutely, all year long!" Figured we'll roll with it for as long as we can. All Tyler wanted for Christmas was a "Monster truck and a race car." To his delight on Christmas morning, that's what he got!

Jake on the other hand was pretty laid back about what he wanted for Christmas - as long as he got fed and changed, he was a happy guy :) Here he is helping Nana Jones open a few gifts.

Overall, our holidays were filled with family and fun - we are truly blessed!  We're excited to see what 2011 has in store for us and we hope you enjoy reading with us as we go!
