We are so glad that you are visiting our blog. It is here that you can learn all about This Jones Family and all that we do

This Jones family began in 1997 when Greg and I started as friends over a Christmas break. That friendship soon turned to a relationship and as time passed by, we kept growing together, not really knowing that we were building our future together. Three years after we started dating, we made our first commitment to create a family together and promised forever to eachother. Taylor was born in 2000 and two years later he became a big brother to twin girls Kaylie and Alyssa. We're a small little family that loves to spend all of our time together. This is how our story began, please check back frequently to see how our family continues.

A Trip to Paradise

Months ago, JJ and I were talking about our anniversaries and how we needed to celebrate them together seeing as though he was the best man in our wedding and Greg was the best man in theirs.  Originally we thought that their 5 year and our 10 year were both coming up in 2011…but we soon realized that their 5 year was this year so it was quite the ordeal to get things planned….and you all know how much of a planner I am….well JJ is the opposite!  So this…I say is the reason we ended up at hotels that  were 20 minutes away from each other rather than right next door like they were supposed to be….trip nightmare in Shannon’s book right??!!  Well..it could have been but we made it work.  The truth is that we had an amazing time and I can’t believe how much I would love to still be there right now.  From the days hanging out at the pool and beach, the amazing food, the touring and water activities, late nights, lots and lots of delicious drinks, laughs, and more than memorable moments with great friends….I couldn’t have asked for a better week.

Greg and I started our trip by waking up at 2:30 am on Monday morning to head to the airport.  Our flight left at about 6:00 and with no problems we made it to Cabo just shortly after 11:00.

After realizing we had a bit of a hotel debacle we were off to start our trip off right by having some food and taking a walk on the beach.

We relaxed, got in the hot tub and unpacked our stuff in our amazing room before heading over to the Fogle’s hotel in the evening to have a few drinks.

Afterwards, we took some time to go parasailing.  I loved parasailing-so relaxing!

After that, it was back to the Hilton for more pool time.  From there it was a night out for the four of us.  We went back to our hotel for a dinner and show on the beach where Greg and Marle got to participate in a contest where they ended up winning a bottle of tequila…
