The Jones Family: November 2008

Halloween 2008

We made several stops on the evening of Halloween. Ella was a frog this year.

Visiting Jaxson Gerig.

Ella and GG.

Ella with her cousins: Edy - princess, Clayton - spiderman, Ella - frog (we missed Gracie!!!)

We had an opportunity recently to travel to Colorado, about 2 hours west of Denver, to attend a marriage retreat at Lost Valley Ranch. These pictures do not do it justice. It was GORGEOUS there and the weather was fabulous the entire weekend.

We are usually really bad about taking pictures on trips....so above, here we are frantically snapping shots right before leaving....nice. This place was amazing and we hardly took any pictures. Way to go Joneses.

The Corral

Saturday night there was a costume party themed "Under the Sea"....we went as a pair of penguins. Here we are with our friend/cousin Reid who happens to be on staff at the ranch through the spring.

The dining hall

L->R: Jeff & Kelly Ostermann as the octopus pair, Joneses as the penguin pair, Jeremy & Molly McClish as a shark attack victim and a tiger shark.

P.S. Ella stayed in Indy with Steph's parents and was thoroughly spoiled for 4 days.

Future Musicians?

Perhaps. These were taken in Indy at Nana & Papa's house around the middle of October.

Ella & Anna

Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Here are a few from our trip to the pumpkin patch. She was not that into it. We thought she would love it this year, but not so much. After about 5 minutes, she just kept saying, "all done."

Visit from Uncle Steve-O

Uncle Steve-O was up several weeks (months?) ago from Indy for a business trip. He came over both nights he was in town. The first night, Ella took one look at him and burst into tears. The second night, however, was much better. She LOVED Uncle Steve-O....and she especially loved his iPhone.
