THIS IS GREAT!

Well, It goes to show that now Minna is on the Blog we actually have something worth looking at. Minna is amazing, she got everything up and running and more people are coming to our blog. Not that it's important to us to have everyone check our Blog out on a daily basis, but it sure is cool to know you guys do anyway. Plus, it makes us feel cooler then we already are. ha!

OK Laura (my cousin) had a ton of suggestions and you know what...they worked so thank you and we will take your advice and do just that. Also, thanks for helping us too Lisa, we now know what we are doing. Lizard- If you didn't prime the pump by showing Minna what's up we would still have a very blank page and I would have soon forgotten our password and therefore not coming back till next August.

That out of the way, updates on Minna and Myself....we are good. We are looking at homes right now still but wether or not we get one we aren't feeling very rushed. We did find one that we liked, its smaller then we want but it has a lot of room to grow. I can see a ton of potential with it, but like I said, who knows what will happen.

Over the weekend we went with some friends up the canyon for dinner. We ended up at a resteraunt called the Creekside Diner or resteruant or something like that. It is located in the village at Solitude. It was actually a cute resteraunt a bit pricey, but the atmosphere of the color changing leaves through the window on the resort was a beautiful scenery. We got to our table and realized that the Entrees where a bit spendy for some meat and other wannabe fancy things, so we all ordered the Pizza and some soup. The Pizza was good and so was the soup and even the appitizer of Bree Cheese and some berry sauce wasn't too bad. I wouldn't make a special trip to go there again, but it was fun still.

I think I try to go up the canyons more before the first snow falls, the air is crisp and clean and the smell of the trees and small campfires almost revitalizes your self well being. I love the mountains and always will choose them over any ocean and beach anywhere.

I am working on getting my hunters safty so I can hunt atleast one day of my life to say I did it. It isn't something I really care to do, but my freinds seem to think its greater then farting in the tub so I would like to go and try it. I should be jumping at the opportunity however since I come from a family that has been hunting forever. My Grampa and Dad and his brothers all did it when they where younger, but I just didn't see how great it was and instead played Basketball and went skiing in the winters instead. That was better bonding time with my Dad then hunting a massive animal down to have to clean it and hike it out. My Dad felt the same way.

Minna is working her cute butt off making sure little kids get their education. So far this year seems to be a good one for her and the stories she has about her kids already are cute. She is a tough cookie, I don't know if I could handle 37 plus 3 year olds all day. This is why I have total faith in her when we have kids. With that much experience behind her my kids will never get bored. She will probably hop on and erase or change most what I am saying, but I don't care I think others should know how freakin cool my wife is.

Im excited for Fall this year. I will be 32 by the end of October and I can't wait, I don't know why I just am excited to be 32 yrs old. I look 26 and act 12 but still it has to average to 32 somehow. Plus this Fall I have plans for Minna and myself...maybe move into a home, go on a few weekend trips and maybe even visit my mission (I haven't told you yet Minna but I thought maybe we could go down sometime before the end of this year). Anyway, all is well with the Jones's and we are happy.

Keep reading our Blogs and we will stay up to date.

We did it!

Thanks to my friend Lisa, I figured out how to put a cute background on our blog! For some reason our customize button doesn't work. Ben is playing on his xbox, so it gave me some time to figure this blog thing out!
Today we watched our favorite show, Ghosthunters. It was a awesome one tonight!

What is up with our Blog?

So I think we have the crappy Blog because we are suppose to be able to make all sorts of cool thing happen with backgrounds and stuff but far beit from me to know why I can't do things like : Click the Dashboard icon and it does nothing etc... Its wierd. Do we have the C grade blog or do we need to upgrade..??? anyone?

Minna's first time on this blog!

Hello everyone. Yesterday was the first time I have seen mine and Ben's blog because Liz finally showed me! Hopefully I will post things often and look at everyone's blog often. I am more of a facebook person though, so I am new to the whole blogging thing, so I'm just trying it out.

I TOLD YOU SO!

Well, I am impressed...all two of you read my new blog. Thank you Pfernder sisters. ha. seriously though, I promised I would return more often then once every six months and here I am. So...I told you so.

I realized as I read my last post that I totally mispelled a bunch of words. Forgive me...for some reason English was my strong point but spelling has never been. No matter how hard I tried. Anyway, more details about us... Last August was our 1 year anniversery. HOLY COW 1 year. Crazy. We basically did what everyone else does after each year...go to dinner. Yep, but we went to some little fancy cafe on 15th S. and 15th E. It was ok. Minna and I decided that we really aren't Fancy Dinning people anyway. We enjoy places like Chilis and Crown Burger! Its fun to go somewhere nice though, but I just felt like I did not belong. But, later we went to Cold Stone and loved every minute of it.

Minna is back to teaching and now has a busy schedule for the next 10 months. I continue to add to that busy schedule of her's as well. After watching 34 kids all day she comes home to the 35th child where I bug her for juice, crakers and a nap. Fortunatley she knew what she was getting into when I asked her to marry me and all this was to be expected. She is an amazing girl and I am lucky to be her hubby.

So besides work, not much else is really new in our lives. One year down, eternity to go!

OK SORRY!!! I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT!!

Alright, So Aania Gowans came to my office today and reminded me that I have not updated my Blog since April. Well, things got busy and I totally forgot my password to the site. How sad I know. So Assuming anyone does read this Blog....here is an update.

Minna and I are doing great. We are currently looking for a home and hope to find something soon. However, the Market supposively is good but I still think homes are price way to high right now. But between funerals, births and many get togethers with family we have been able to continue our search for a home and enjoy the summer.

I am very greatful for the weather right now and would not complain if this was our temp all year round. Actually a few months of the year it could really snow real good then go back to 70's and 80's for the rest of the year. That way I can get some skiing in.

I promise I will make an effort to keep this thing updated and not forget my password anymore. I also have a ton of pics of New York, Yellowstone and other fun places we have been to put up on this site.

Ok, sorry for the long waite and thank you Aania for updating me to get back on here.
