And just like that...it's Spring Break. We had originally planned to take a trip with Trenton to Washington DC (a trip he's had planned with his school band since the beginning of the school year) but it's a lot of money to fly across the country! And Trenton asked us, albeit kindly, not to go. :) So we took Jackson and Aidon down to Cannon Beach instead. The trip was great, the hotel was awesome and the only complaint we had was the weather. It didn't pour, but the next trip we take there ... Read More
Dysfunkshunal at Hard Rock Cafe
Trenton's band had the privilege of playing at the Hard Rock Cafe in Seattle this weekend and oh my goodness it was so much fun. I can't explain how incredible it feels to watch your kid do something they love and have dreamed about since they were little. Trenton's plan has always been to play in a band. From Day 1, he would practice in his room with his guitar and my phone or a DVD that he'd play on repeat. I remember when he was 5 years old, all he wanted for Christmas was a red guitar, ...

And we still have Mr. Murph, who's still peeing. Everywhere. All the time. How. Much. Pee. Can one little dog hold. Anyway, we celebrated my 38th birthday a ... Read More
Jones Boys Lately
Trenton: He'll soon be driving! And the day can't come soon enough. I'm probably more excited than he is. Mainly because he will now be able to drive himself and his brothers around to all of their practices and basketball games and church rehearsals. I'm a little nervous to have them on the road alone, as I'm sure most parents are, but I just gotta aim and release. :) Still drumming like crazy. And it's still loud. We've given him a specific set of hours (3pm-5pm) when he's ... Read More
