Camping with a Grand AM!

Camping with a Grand AM

Grand am

We've had our car, a 2004 Pontiac Grand AM for about a year now, and I haven't missed our minivan yet, until we tried to go camping recently. We got the kids to get all of the camping gear together so we could throw it all in the car leave town. As soon as I got home from work, we brought all the stuff and laid it out on the driveway behind the car. Instantly, I knew we were in trouble. I looked in my tiny little trunk and then at all the stuff on our driveway and knew there was no way it was all going in there.

I stuck all the sleeping bags, pillows, and other soft stuff in the back seat with the girls, then I started on the trunk. After loading the campstove, the tents, and other gear, I had aproximately 11 cubic inches left to work with. It was time for a grave ultimatum.

I assembled the whole family on the driveway, and sadly said, "We have a choice to make, Clothes or Food. You're either going to go hungry or naked, because we can't fit both."

Now I'm guessing you're wondering what they chose...

Well let's just say the flame roasted salmon and garlic butter potatoes were terrific! For some reason our campsite was the most popular one there, with no shortage of visitors. Oh yeah, I'm also really glad we managed to fit in bugspray and sunscreen!

It's Raining Babies!

Babie's Everywhere!

It is babies everywhere in the Jones house at the moment....

You wouldn't believe it....

I am prego,

My girlfriend Krystal just had her baby....

His name is Ethan, and he was a lumberjack when he was born...

9 something right off the bat....

AND...

My daughter, Krystal is also pregnant.....

Most of you probably know this by now...

and for those of you who didn't?

Well.....SURPRISE......

We phoned her a couple of weeks ago to tell her our good news.....

and instead we were the ones who got the surprise....

She is five months along...and looks pretty good, although a little tired.

Baby looks like a basketball underneath her shirt....

and she has quit smoking!

I am going to be a grandma before I am a mommy again...

and as if that isn't funny enough...Kendal will be a grandpa before he is ever a dad the first time round....

We just can't do anything in an orderly fashion in our family!

Next month she will be finding out the baby's sex....

so there will be more news then..

It is raining babies!
