On Sunday, we spent some time at Janice and Chris’s house for a big ol’ Jones family get together.
The children frolicked. The adults chatted. Ian ran around with his cousins. Matthew napped on Rachel. Fun was had by all. 🙂
My 3 guys. Please enjoy this shot of Ian. It’s the last you’ll see of him as he spent the entire picnic playing elsewhere. 🙂
Ladder Golf: Voted “Best Child Entertainer of 2009” 😉
….until your child gets trapped in it. 🙂
Andrew liked it too.
As did Jackson…
(The little blond girl in pink is Ian’s obsession from the wedding reception. Apparently, Ian didn’t really want to play with Victoria much at the picnic and she was pretty sad about it. lol)
Speaking of Jackson…do you remember Jackson? 🙂
Matthew, when not getting stuck in the Ladder Golf game, practiced walking and got lots of love from his cousin:
The handsome little devil in the blue pants and grey shirt is just 2 weeks younger than Matthew. He’s the son of one of MY cousins.
Milana and Micah spent a lot of time playing in the tree with Trinity. Trinity is the little girl in the blue jeans and brown t-shirt in the picture above (on the right, her back to the camera).

Huge shout out to my Aunt Marsha who dresses her girls alike. Nice to know I’m not the only one who forces their children to wear matching outfits. 🙂
Speaking of outfits, Mr. Andrew was too sweet for words in his little orange polo shirt. 
(If I counted correctly, there were 11 kids at this picnic. And please keep in mind that there were still some little ones in the family that couldn’t make it to the party! Now do you see why I pretty much never saw Ian? Too many new friends to play with!)
Matthew quickly reached the point of no return and promptly passed out on Aunt Rachel:
Isn’t he freakin’ adorable?!?!
Storm clouds rolled in and soon we had to move the party inside.
Not a problem for us Joneses…we just partied in the house. 🙂
(My aunt in the tank top to the right above shares the exact same wedding day as Mike and me: July 16th! I believe she and my uncle were married on a Friday too.)
Matthew didn’t seem to realize that the party had moved. I think this is what people are referring to when they say: “they slept like a baby”. 🙂
And, even though I didn’t take many pictures of him, I have evidence that Mike was there! 
And having a good time, too! 🙂
Before we left, we got a big picture of my grandparents and all of their children:
