Key West, Florida

It was Key West, FL or bust for the Stouffer family to start of 2008! We had a great time and stayed in the neatest place that was on a small island off of Key West. Hunter had the best time riding the boat, playing in the sand and thw pool, seeing the animals at the Aquarium and especially dancing!

Hunter loved dancing to the music at the Conch Seafood Company Restaurant. He had a crowd of admirers by the time he was finished!

Here is Lazy Days, the cottage that Chris, Hunter and I shared with Kristin. It was located right by the pool and hot tub.

Chris got called up to participate in one of the street performers acts on the last night. Key West is known for their Sunset Celebration that happens everynight. People gather from all over to watch the quirky performances and see the sun go down over the ocean.

Hunter was very entertained with his "puter" on the plane. He thinks the portable DVD player is his own computer.

Here's Nemo- we found him!!

Here's a pic of the cottages and the beautiful landscape on the private island we were on.

Hunter had a blast with the sand and even though it was a little cool out there, you'd never know it!

Jones family in Key West!

Jones Family Christmas Picture 2007

Here it is... to be sent out really soon!!

There's no place like it!

Last week, I had the opportunity to go to New York with Dana and Summer. We had a great time and braved the near freezing temperatures. We saw a little snow, lots of beautiful Christmas decorations, the store windows, had delicious food and enjoyed two wonderful shows. It was a great time of the year to be in New York and see the tree in Rockefeller Center and of course to shop. We had so much fun! Thanks Dana!!
THE JONES GIRLS ready for Legally Blonde

Elmo and Me... I had to get a picture of me with Elmo for Hunter

What we've been up to...

As Christmas and Hunter's 2nd birthday are approaching, we have been so busy! We were excited a couple of weeks ago when President Bush came to town. Hunter and I went with Babs and Sha Sha and all of their neighbors to see the procession of cars coming up the street. Hunter was given a poster by one of the girls and he loved holding it. He even got to sit on a police motorcycle. How fun!!


Hunter and I had the opportunity to see Sesame Street Live a couple of weeks ago when they were in town. It was "Elmo's Music Show" so of course he loved it. It was our first "performance" to go to and he did great.


We spent Thanksgiving in Waco with family and he had a blast with his cousins. He had a permanent smile on his face just trying to keep up with all of the fun things that they do. They all had fun drinking hot chocolate on Thanksgiving morning.


Later that weekend at the lake, Hunter had his first smore! Yum!!


Backtracking a bit... back in Waco... This is Hunter's new residence- in the laundry room fridge!

Pics in the Pumpkin Patch

Our attempt for some cute pictures in the Pumpkin Patch up at the church turned into more pictures of the back of Hunter's head for our picture album. As much as I love the back of his little head, I was looking forward to some precious pictures of his face smiling so big in the midst of the perfect fall pumpkin patch. They did turn out pretty cute though- even though there are no smiles!

Over the border...

Our 5 year anniversary gave us reason to celebrate, so Chris and I ventured out of the country to Mexico. We had a great time. We stayed at a Palace resort and it was beautiful. We had a great time relaxing by the pool, being out at the beach, enjoying the sunshine and a couple of massages in the Spa! We were certainly spoiled while we were away and still mananged to miss Hunter like crazy. It was a comfort knowing he was with our parents for the week. We were so excited to see him when we got back.

5 Years!!

Random Pics

We went to visit Blake in College Station and snapped a cute one of Blake and Hunter after lunch one day! Hunter loves his Uncle Blake.

I threw a baby shower for a close friend and found Hunter in the hostess gift several times that day- just making sure the stroller was up to par!

The much awaited wall- here is a pic of what we decided to do with the big wall in the family room. I am very happy with it!

Only 2 choices... orange or blue

Well I am cracking up as I scroll through the last couple of entries. Hunter looks like he is always wearing the same thing and I guess I repeat a little too often. It's either the orange and brown polo or the smocked safari scene on the blue outfit. I'm going to have to put those things away for awhile and let him wear something else! :)

I Love Lucy... and Mammy too!!

The other night, the "girls" and Hunter got together for dinner over at Mammy's house. We each brought part of the meal and then stayed to watch an "I Love Lucy" movie. It brought back so many fun memories of growing up and going to Mammy's to spend the night with the cousins. We would always be so excited when she had gotten a new video in the mail. It meant lots of laughs on a pallet on the floor and eating piping hot bread pudding straight from the oven while we watched Lucy and her crazy antics. We had a great time getting together!
