Baby Cassie is Here!

Our little girl, Cassandra Louise Jones was born on March 17th at 7:58am! She weighed 6lbs 10oz and was 18 3/4" long. We are so in love with our little girl, and Nathan is so happy to be a big brother :)

She's such a good baby. We think she'll have red hair like her brother!

More pictures to follow (we have lots...)

Lots of Pictures:

Did I mention that Nathan loves his little sister? We seriously can't keep his hands off of her!

Hocking Hills Cousin-Venture!

Well...it's been a while, but by popular demand: camping pictures!

It rained every day. I think they liked it.
Our sweet tent City. All the water conveniently drained to a corner of our tent.
Brothers hiking down to the lake :)

We were a little slower...
Swimming in the "no swimming" lake

Rock skipping contests


Waling around at the Old Man's Cave









Cave people


The Devil's Bathtub



My muddy buddy
She's so sweet :D
This box was hilarious...they were practically fighting to have a turn inside!
Allan caught a trout. Everyone wanted to sample it.
Guess who is in the box? (It's not Nathen).
Mmmmmm...trout...
The rain let up and we went on a late stroll to Cedar Falls. It was actually getting pretty dark.

Darn kids won't stay still!
The other pictures were with a tripod, it was getting pretty dark out!
Rainy day football match
The next day wasn't too rainy so we went to the Ash Cave...really impressive.
Allan and Kieth
The rock is sandstone, so lots of visitors over the years have left their marks


Not too cold!

Rock slide
Everybody gets a turn!

Awwww...my favorite couple ;)
Our good looking group of hikers
The boys talking shop
A nice game of pick-up-snakes
My sweet little Jo before I accidentally let her fall in the mud D:

She loves her Auntie ;)
Super cousins!
We were able to have a campfire every night, so...yay!
More mud
The last day we went back to Cedar Falls to hike some more. Super great.

The scenery was phenomenal. The kids had a blast climbing and wading...everything you could hope for in a family camping trip :)





We found this "hidden" waterfall off the trail...lot's of fun!





Well apparently here's some other photos from our Michigan trip that got uploaded! We went to see dinosaurs at the zoo! Jasper was all into it, Nathan...not so much.
Rawr!
I'm sure this was Nathan's favorite part of the zoo trip. Afterwards he says: "You said they were just robots but you were wrong. They were REAL!"
My little Madison :)
Super cousins again!
First zoo trip!
Annual elephant picture
Jasper wants to sit on the elephant too...

Happy now!

Prairie dogs
Wolverine pelt. I could get one of both boys smiling at the same time (Jasper really wasn't as weirded out as he looks)
Robin chasing a robin!
