Uncle Mike

In Loving Memory Of

Michael David Jones

July 19, 1941

February 16, 2012

I was just there, in Redding, this last October for my grandmothers funeral. Uncle Mike was busy helping my Aunt with the funeral and herself (my Aunt has terminal cancer). Uncle Mike seemed to be doing well other than he felt like he was getting a cold.

While on the roof after Christmas to remove the lights he tweaked his back and was taken to the emergency room. The hospital, while in the process of glueing a bone in his back, found something they wanted to look a little closer at. After a biopsy they concluded that my uncle Mike had terminal cancer and gave him six months. Four weeks later he passed away.



It was so unexpected. In both cases (the passing of my Grandmother and my Uncle Mike) cousins I have not seen in years came to pay their respects.





I was able to fly out with my Mom, two sisters, and Madison. Although it was a sad occassion that brought us all together I would'nt trade the experiences that came with it.





























RIP Uncle Mike.

He was a wonderful person. Very caring and kind.

Presidents Day

My hat it has three corners

Three corners has my hat

And had it not three corners

It would not be my hat



We all got a good laugh.

Jordon came home one day from school so excited that he got this special note :).


Should we celebrate?

(Sexy! and hearts)

Got asked to Saddies #2 - Landon had already been asked (a month in advance).


(came with a big box of fishy crackers)

Landon answered her back with an umbrella and note that read " I'll have to take a rain check on this one " and that he had already been asked.




Got asked again to Saddies #1 (came with a fish bowl and real fish)

This is actually the first girl who asked to Saddies and the one he is going to go with. He answered her by giving her a fish back and the tank said "YES".







About 15 minutes after being asked to Saddies a young lady showed up with ice cream and a note wishing Landon a good day :)















The very next day a girl (Kate-from our CNA class/works with Landon at Belle Aire) from a totally different high school asked Landon to "Spring Fling" at her high school. Kate asked Landon by tieing a balloon to our front door with a ribbon that went up into the sky attached to another balloon with these little slips of paper stapled to the ribbon all the way up.



















































The girls just love him ;)


And so do we.

Family Valentines Celebration

We went as a family out to Brick Oven to celebrate our family Valentines. Madison has to work on Tuesday so we did it on Saturday. I love spending time together where time stands still and nothing else matters except spending time together. ---Look who stoped by :). We also thought while we were there we would sing happy birthday to Maron (We went here once before on Marons birthday several years ago and she loved when they sang to her and she asked if we could do that again. Why not!
