Jones House - April

We really got going on the siding this month!
Best house helper ever!
We had a Saturday where his brother's were able to help us out!
Kyle on the lift!
I am holding the ladder while McKay screws in siding, the ground wasn't very stable!
Watching dad be tricky!
Helping Dad drive the Manitou
We finished the tongue and groove under the porch!
The shower got tiled and grouted this month!
I got to operate the Manitou and it scared me to death! I can't believe McKay trusted me that much!
Isaac came to help a few times!
We loved all the help we could get!
We started the rock around the tub!
Kids loved getting on the roof and helping McKay! They would hold tools so they didn't slide off the roof!
While McKay, Kyle and Kayden did siding, Lance and Randy built the cinder block walls on the west side of the house to help retain the dirt so we could pour the cement for the air conditioner!
More siding! We did this all the time! It went by a little slow because a lot of the time it was just McKay!
Owen on the roof again checking things out!
Eating lunch in the kitchen!
More siding!
Grandpa prepared the driveway so we could get the cement poured for it!
Miles was right their helping!
More siding!
Slowly but surely we are getting things done! McKay amazes me! He is constantly at the house working on something, he still works, makes it to his kids activities and is still such a great father and husband! Seriously I don't know how I got so lucky!

Miles Duane - April

This kid has been loving life! After he wakes up in the morning he heads to the house with Mom and Dad and works! He loves following McKay or Grandpa around and copying them! He thinks he is so big!
Anytime Grandpa brings up heavy machinery he begs to sit inside and drive it with him!
He always just sticks around by us and watches!
He got sick this month and the only way we could get him to do the breathing treatment was while he drank a bottle!
He loves his Grandma's and Grandpa's!
Watching his sisters dance!
Helping Grandpa prepare the driveway for cement!
Helping Dad mark the siding!
Loves his Grandparents!
Loves treats and cheesing it with Emma!

Camille Elizabeth - April

This was Camille's first year of dance! We struggled a little with her wanting to go to practice... she would cry so we would have to bribe her! She hated getting dressed up for the performances, it was such a fight, she hated the makeup so by the time we got to the last performance we stopped putting on the makeup! Once we got to where we were performing she was fine and would dance awesome and have a big smile on her face when everyone was telling her how good she did! And then the first thing out of her mouth would be, I want to change my clothes and take the ponytail out! She was a ham! 
Front row!
So cute!
Grandma was always their biggest fan!
My cute dancing girls!
Also Camille and her many faces!
Watching the kids play ball! Camille just missed the cutoff to play and she was so bummed but Grandma always spoiled her with a treat and Emma was always their to play with her!
She loved coming to softball with Mom! Would beg me and cry begging me to come!
The girls loved her too! She was the favorite! If she happened not to come they would ask where she was and want to know why I didn't bring her!
