This is Clay and Carley getting into all the dvd's at the Warner's house. They are trouble makers already.

Christmas is coming!

Is everyone as excited as we are about the Christmas Holiday? We had a great time in Arizona last week for Thanksgiving with our family. Robin was in charge of the meal, and it was so yummy as usual. I think after four full days we might have worn out welcome a little. We had fun going to the movies, golfing, hanging out, playing uno and dominos, (I can't believe we didn't play nertz!!) eating out, going to the mesa temple, which was a first for Jon and I, and running the Turkey trot, a 10k. It was my first one, and I was pretty proud of myself. Jon ran it in 48min., Jillian in 56 or 57, and I ran in 58. Then we went and played soccer for an hour which is actually pretty fun and challenging with the kids now that they are older. Another highlight was going to the ribbon store to get hairbows made for Carley. You go in, pick out your ribbon, and they make the bows for you. A whole store full of ribbon, who knew!
Tonight we decorated our tree which just seems like the official start of the Christmas season. I hope everyone enjoys time with their friends and family, and stops to think about our savior Jesus Christ, his birth, and what a special thing it means to all of us.

new website

just to let you know, I started an iweb page. I also have a web gallery. Using these I can put more pictures and videos on for those of you that really care about us or really miss us. I'll try to update it periodically, but who knows how it will go. the website is web.mac.com/jon.bailey, and our gallery, which has a slide show on it right now is gallery.mac.com/jon.bailey. I know this is a lot of info, but I am amazed at how easy it is to stay connected now a days. We really are blessed to have such great technology. Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Halloween!

Was Halloween fun for everyone? We had so much fun carving pumpkins, going to our trunk-or-treat at church, going to the pumpkin patch, and of course, going trick-or-treating Halloween night after a warm bowl of homemade chili. I only make it once a year on Halloween and is a tradition in our family for as long as I can remember. I'm sure everyone has some special memory of going to Grandma and Grandpa Dunn's house for chili and trick-or-treating in their neighborhood. We liked it because the houses were closer together than on La Bajada where it really was scary and creepy going trick-or-treating. As you can see, we had a Nacho Libre, a pirate girl, black spider man, superman, and a little pumpkin. Dominique and Roxy (his dog), and Grandpa Dave came with us too. Grandma Cathy and Grandma Great stayed with Carley and passed out candy. Jensen learned quickly what was going on, and had a blast. The other kids just went as fast as they could I guess thinking they were going to miss out on something if they didn't run. This year was monumental for nine year old Braden, who for the first time asked to use a pillow case for his candy. Hope everyone had a great time with your families and friends.
