March Memories

It seems like March came and went in the blink of an eye. The perfect Arizona weather brought lots of weeds.  Chuck has been filling up the entire bed of his truck for several weekends with weeds and spring trimming. Killing weeds while they're still growing is like shoveling snow while it's still snowing.

My baby Casey turned 22 in March. Makes us all feel a little older.

It wouldn't be life at the Joneses without a little car trouble.  Here is Mike working on his truck into the night. You can see the moon coming up. My good old suburban is ready to turn over to 200,000 miles. It's been ole' faithful, that's for sure.

March also brought a welcome surprise.  Mike's Aunt Freida and cousins, Brian and Sandy came for a visit. Brian brought his son Blayne  out for a baseball tournament. We enjoyed dinner at one of our favorites.

You can certainly tell they are all Joneses.

Easter morning brought a delicious breakfast which included "the divine swine".  The kids asked if I cooked all the bacon and I replied: "can't you see all the burns on my neck and forearms?" They didn't offer to treat my wounds but offered to eat my food. I hate cooking bacon but love to eat it.  All those little splatters that jump out at your skin and then smell the house for a week. Mike figured out a way long ago - cook it on the burner on the outdoor grill.  Wish he would have done that on Easter.

All these cute kids came to the Jones Center for Exceptional Grandchildren to participate in the Easter Egg Hunt.

T.J. Joyner ends up finding the Golden Egg and receiving the fabulous prize this year. Knocked out Hailey's winning streak.

The Easter Bunny actually was found in our backyard during the egg hunt.  I wonder how many kids can say that?

Good-bye March.  We're ready for you April!
