It's August....5 month's old

We are in the 8th month of the year.  That means it is 2/3 the way done.  WHAT>!>!>!

Happy Birthday to my wonderful mom and Gideon's amazing Grandma!  we are so lucky to have you in our lives! We love you very much and sorry we didn't do anything at all for it =[

Biggest news - Gideon has a tooth!  Our five month old is getting teeth.... oh boy!

These are a little out of order!:

Gideon got to meet the spectacular Heather!  We had a great lunch and catching up.  I told Jeremiah that if we have the money we are going to Florida next summer to see her (and the beach!).

This is 3 month old Mason, one of Gideon's friends!  

Gideon playing with Megan (she's almost 4!)  she's the middle kiddo!  

Here's Emma playing "Mommy."  She wanted to pick up Gideon and take him everywhere.  She's so strong, Gideon is almost 20 pounds I think!  She was so helpful with the kiddos.  

At the end of July we started cereal.  He really really liked it!  What a happy baby we have! 

Mid July Andrea and I hosted an open house for Rebecca and baby girl Elise (and brother Connor).  She's such a doll.  She's now a month old!  What a cutie. 

close to the end of July we took a little trip south to see some family.  Here's my cousin Grace, her son Milam, my great Aunt Sherry is feeding Gideon. 

While we swam Jeremiah got to do lots of golfing!

I went out once to be his caddy, and I was darn good at it too. 

Gideon showing off his swimming skills.  

Grace and Milam!  Love them. 

Cousin Stacy (she let us all stay with them, and cooked us so many yummy meals).  

Gideon loves to put everything in his mouth.  What a fun stage. 

Jeremiah and Gideon, just hanging out in this hot weather. 

We went to the drive-in!  We got to see Brave and The Avengers.  Gideon stayed awake for almost the entire movie Brave!  Silly guy.  Never fussed once.  

Before the drive-in, Grandma got him a new book to read/eat.  

We were working in my classroom and he had a lot of fun playing with the blanket.  Peek-aboo

Here's mom (Happy Birthday again!) With sleeping chunk and beautiful new baby Elise.

My parents hosted 2 international students for a summer camp.  Maria and Basak were a joy to be around and very much loved Gideon.

At Third Thursday - Gideon got to see a drum-line.  It was super fun. 


So, It is August.  What does that mean for the Jones' family?  I start going back to school/orientation TOMORROW!  Gideon will be with Jeremiah mostly, unless he has to work and then my mom will be watching him.  Jeremiah is still working at Walgreens, he would like to start giving guitar lessons again and possibly apply for a 'ranch' that helps troubled teens.  He starts school August 20th, Chemistry, Calculus, and Psychology.  Poor guy will have a very rough semester for sure.  Gideon is going to be crawling soon (he does it in his sleep) and gets frustrated when he can't get to where he's going.  He will have more teeth soon and I'm sure we'll start some new vegetables here as well.

Hope everyone had a great summer!  Fall and Winter will be here before we know it.
