Havin FUN in Flagstaff

2010-10-29T09:00:00.000-07:00

For my Birthday we decided to take a trip to Flagstaff with some friends .. 7 adults and 3 dogs .. boy was that an interesting trip!

Mr. Mikey is all tuckered out!

Jesse had never made a smore or roasted a marshmellow ... That was ENTERTAINING to watch!

Jesse is a good friend and works with Justin. He brought along his sister Vickie (left) and his other sister Lollie (right). They sure are fun!

Vickie was dodging the camera all weekend so the only pictures I could get were here sleeping!

All these 3 dogs wanted to do was ride, ride, and ride again on the golfcart!

All 3 being lazy!

I think all Justin did was catch up on sleep. Make him lazy bum number 4!

Jesse relaxing ... the weather was the high 70's and GORGEOUS!!!

Poor Maverick was so tired and just wanted to get home!!!!

Kambrya and Spankey

2010-10-29T08:53:00.000-07:00

Whenever this cute girl comes to play for the day or spend the night ....

This is what Spankey does ....

He watches her like a hawk and whenever she cries he finds it necessary to bark until she stops crying ... he is never far from her!!!

Lil' Miss Kambrya giggles and giggles and giggles when she and Spankey are together!

A just for fun picture ... I wish I could still reach my toes!

We LOVE when the little girl comes to play!!!

Arizona State Fair

2010-10-29T08:46:00.000-07:00

Since we (me, mom, cardon, mindee) work the fair we don't get much time to "see" the fair. One thing that I do always stop at is the "show" animals . . . .

The tiny horse!

The long alligator!

The GIANT pig!

Old Man Spankey

2009-09-27T09:20:00.000-07:00

Even though Spankey is only a year old, he looks like such an old man!!!

Diamondback and Dodger Game

2009-09-27T09:09:00.000-07:00

Just to clear the air . . . I LOVE THE DIAMONDBACKS . . . but I was at the game supporting the Dodgers because they are the ones that gave me all the free tickets. The company I work for treats Professional Athletes and the Dodgers are the ones that provided the tickets for me and gave me the shirt that I am wearing.

Justin and I at the game.

KaMaili is always looking for something free and boy do my ears still hurt from listening to her scream. She always manages to win and/or get something for free.

When you go to a Diamondbacks game they have a table set up to that you can make free signs in support of the Diamondbacks. Kamee was oh so excited to hold up her little sign.

I just couldn't resist posting a picture of Broc's gorgeous Blue eyes.

Labor Day 2009

2009-09-27T08:57:00.000-07:00

We took the usual family trip up to Strawberry, Az for the annual Fleming Family Labor Day Reunion. I, of course, forgot my camera most places that we went but had my camera when we went to the Goat Farm. Ummmmmmm they make the best chocolate from goats milk.

Margayle and Broc

Me and Grandma Parker relaxing after visiting with the goats.

Kamee LOVED the goats. They were the perfect height for her!!

These silly ol' goats just wouldn't leave grandma alone. I think they loved her orange shirt. After a couple minutes she had to leave because she couldn't fend of all the goats at once.

Mom Jones, Broc, and Grandma Parker.

Loved the reunion and can't wait for next year . . . .NOT . . . the Parkers are in charge for next year so we are going to be BUSY!!!!

There is FINALLY a new post!

2009-09-19T08:47:00.001-07:00

Justin and I go to Vegas at least once a year, usually twice and this year was no exception. We went with some friends to go to Woodstock and it happen to fall over my birthday weekend. In true Hana fashion, I brought my camera, with a dead battery, and no charger. I was able to take 3 pictures, none with Justin and I of course, so walla here they are.

I had never been to Freemont Street in all the times I had been to Vegas so this year we went. As you walked there were lots of little side vendors. I was sooooo amazed at what this guy did, I had to buy a painting. He made the entire picture from SPRAY CANS of paint, ripped edges of newspaper, and a sharp blade. I will have to take a picture of the final product and post later.

The picture that he is painting is the one I purchased.

Inside of MGM Grand is the Lion Habitat which I have gone to every time I go to Vegas but there was never a lion. This time the lion was there sleeping and the had little baby cubs inside.

Thanks Justin for another fabalous trip to Vegas and I am already wanting to go back. Love Ya!

I Love You Dad

2009-07-19T18:53:00.000-07:00

I love you dad!

Thank you so much to everyone for your love and support!

Girls Night Out - PARTY TIME!

2009-05-09T08:12:00.000-07:00

The boys went to Father's N Son's so they girls went to play. KaMaili and I were the only ones that had ridden the lightrail so we decided it would be fun to go for a ride. Kamee was telling everyone that she was going on the train.

The first stop was Macayos (Margayles favorite restaurant!)

While there we had the band sing "La Bamba"

Mom and Daughter bonding!

Me and Mom

Margayle and KaMaili enjoying thier ride on the Lightrail

I had sooooo much fun girls and cant wait to do something fun again next year! Love Ya Girls!

Camping in Safford Arizona

2009-04-26T12:23:00.000-07:00

The whole family went camping in Safford for the weekend. Mindee and Bryce found a nice campsite called Roper Lake State Park in the outskirts of Safford. We camped for the weekend and on Saturday we took all of our golf carts and quads and went to Hot Wells Spings to ride for the day. I think Jayce had the most fun on his quad and little Miss Kamee couldn't get enough of Spankey.

Kamee enjoying her bag of Cheetos

KaMaili posing as if she were a model

Dad enjoyed having the company of his friend Ron and Sue Claridge there to visit with

It was a little hot out there during the middle of the day so Jayce pulled out the old umbrella to provide a little more shade

I think we are already planning our next family adventure for 4th of July weekend in Flagstaff, Az. I cant wait!!!

Spankey in the Snow

2009-04-26T12:17:00.000-07:00

Jayce and Bailie came to stay the night and boy did they have fun. Jayce brought over his cars sleeping bag and cot and they had a blast watching a movie and eating popsicles.

Spankey was trying to figure out how he could get in on the fun!!!

Brrrrrrrrr!

2009-02-02T05:35:00.000-08:00

I was in Chicago, IL last week and this is what I went outside to. A thin blooded Arizona Girl (me!) froze my tush off the entire week. I told my boss that I was not going back if there was any snow on the ground!

View from my hotel room on the 3rd floor.

The snow I had to scrape from my rental car and 7:00 in the morning.

(Sorry for the blurry pictures. My hands were numb and I think I had the camera on the wrong setting)

Merry Christmas

2009-02-02T05:26:00.000-08:00

Soooooo, I am just a tad behind blogging about Christmas. Life is always busy and I forget that I have this Blog thing so forgive me!!

Mrs. Clause decided that she needed new hubcaps for her minivan. I think this is about her 4th or 5th box. She just can't keep them on her van.

Cardon and his new sweater from mom and dad.

Every time that I go to Vegas dad whines and cries until he get's an M and M Dispenser. This year he was in luck!

Justin and his new I-pod.

My new year's resolution is to blog at least once every 2 weeks, so hopefully you won't hear crickets chirping when you come to my blog.

Happy Birthday Bailie!

2008-09-28T12:11:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, Justin and I took Jayce and Kamee to Bailie Barnums Birthday party at the Build a Bear. Bailie turned 5 years old and invited a couple of her friends and cousins to come and make bears (in our case puppies) that they could take home.

Dog Days of Summer

2008-09-20T13:36:00.001-07:00

I am sure happy that summer is starting to wind down!!

Such a rough life!!!

All sprawled out with nothing to do . . .

Sorry for the lack of posts!

2008-09-19T18:15:00.001-07:00

Sorry all for the lack of blogging. I decided to be a genius one day and download all of my pictures on to mom and dads computer. Well, we left to go camping and I forgot my memory card and camera at mom and dads house. I asked my ever so thoughtful sister to please bring my camera with her. Long story short, I have a camera but NO memory card. We lost the memory card somewhere, so I have no pictures to post!!! I have since purchased a new memory card but have not had anything exciting happen in the meantime that is blog worthy. Hope everyone is doing great!

HAPPY BLOGGING!!!!

Our newest addition to the Family

2008-06-22T10:53:00.000-07:00

For our anniversary - we bought a puppy. We bought a 12 week old puggle (a mix of a pug and a beagle) named Spanky (like Spanky from lil rascals). So far so good - no accidents in the house and he sleeps in his cage.

He is very playful and is a ball of energy.

Congratulations Mom and Dad

2008-06-22T10:43:00.000-07:00

Mom and Dad Jones have put up with eachother for 30 years!! Us kids surprised mom and dad with a 30th Anniversary party at the Tolleson Bldg. We knew that we would have to send out invitations before we told mom and dad otherwise the party would be a no go. We mailed all the invitations and then on Mother's Day we gave mom an invitation (she thought it was a mothers day card!). There was no turinin back now because the invitations had already been sent. Congratulations and I am so thankful to be part of this family. WE LOVE YOU MOM AND DAD!!!!

Bathroom Intervention

2008-02-02T17:43:00.000-08:00

So I (Hana) got a wild hair one day a couple weeks ago and decided that I wanted to remodel my bathroom. I should have taken before and after pictures but I didn't so now you get to see 1/2 in between pictures. We (mostly Justin) gutted the bathroom. Justin and Cardon layed the tile and today we grouted. You will have to check back in the next couple days to see the finished product.

Sleepover Time!!!

2008-02-02T17:31:00.000-08:00

We had a great time at Cardon and Margayles house on New Years Eve. The old foggies (yes mom we are referring to you and dad!) turned in at about 10:00p.m. We played games and waited until 12:00a.m. When the clock struck 12 we went in the backyard and started banging on pots and making a rucus with little poppers. Oh and we cant forget about the midnight KISS!

Me and Margayle bangin on our pots

Boy we look like a bunch of partyers!!

We had an absolute blast for Christmas this year. It was a very busy day. It started out at 6:00a.m. with opening presents at our house. By 7:00a.m. we were showered and at mom and dad Jones' house for pancakes, french toast, and eggs. After opening presents it was off to Grandma Parkers house for more gift opening (and giving) and then lunch at 12:00p.m.(the traditional Mexican food). By 1:00p.m. Justin and I were on the road for a 3 hour drive to his mom's house to round out the Christmas Day. Boy was that a busy day!!!
