My little sister, Karla got married on Saturday.  It was a beautiful day for a wedding and everything was absolutely perfect.  It was so fun to share their special day! Congratulations Brad and Karla!!

I think this might be my favorite picture from the night!

Mia is really good at giving kisses! : )

My super mom friend, Robyn (she has four young kiddos) invited Mia and I to the zoo last week.  Mia loved it!  She really just loves being around other kids.  She got to see lots of animals and even ride the carousel.  I have a feeling that visiting the zoo is going to become a regular occurrence very soon.

Woah! That's a big fish!

Joe's school had a lunch at the Rockies game today.  We enjoyed the afternoon eating burgers with a really nice elderly couple that were Denver University Alumni. The gentleman we were chatting with graduated  from DU 50 years ago.  It was really neat to hear his stories of the school from half a century ago.  After lunch we went to go watch the game.  It was a beautiful day for baseball!

My friend Kari bought this super cute MN Twins onesie for Mia.

Life is good.  I am loving being a stay-at-home momma.  The transition has been way easier and more natural than I expected it would be.  I know that being a stay-at-home mom to one baby is way different than it will be to two or more children, but right now, life is pretty easy. It's always a little weird when people ask my profession, but I usually say, I stay home with my baby and then they respond with..."that's the hardest job."  Although this is very kind and makes me smile, they clearly have never been a teacher or been related to a teacher!  Teaching is so much more exhausting!  Seriously people, love on your kid's teachers!

Disclaimer...Mia is currently teething and has been in a TON of pain with a fever.  This last week has been a little rough especially due to the fact that Mia has been waking up a bazillion times a night and at times is inconsolable.  One more reason why staying at home is a blessing, I would never be able to function at work after a night like that.  

I'm a very routine person and like to keep to a schedule.  Every Most mornings, Mia and I go for a run and we end the run at the park, which is like two steps from our house.  I've been using the playground as a gym and continuing my work-out with lunges, push-ups, jumping jacks, etc...  While I'm working out, Mia barks at the doggies in the park or just laughs at me.  Here are some pictures of us playing at the park this morning.  Doesn't she look so big?!?!?

Joe started his Executive MBA program at Denver University this weekend.  This is an 18-month program that he will be working through while working full-time.  He is going to be one busy guy!  This is going to mean a lot of changes in the Jones household, mostly just the absence of Joe.  Up until now, whenever Joe was home, we would be spending time together (we are not a couple that sits in separate rooms and does our own thing).  Now, I need to find new ways to occupy my time since the majority of time that Joe is home, he will need to be reading, studying or doing other homework.  Even though, Joe getting his EMBA is a big commitment and A LOT of money, I know it will be beneficial to our family in the future.  Also, my super awesome hubby is the youngest person to ever be admitted into the Executive MBA program at Daniel's School of Business.  Yeah, he's pretty awesome!
