"Carving" the Pumpkin

Well, today was the day that we were going to carve our pumpkin, making a memory that Jack would remember forever...but, he could have cared less! He's never really been sensitive to "gross" stuff like this, but i guess he thinks pumpkins are quite yucky.

Pumpkin Patch II

Jack was having a little trouble picking up his pumpkin, part of the problem was that it had goatheads in it--only in New Mexico! We did bring this one home, and are going to carve any day now! Thank you grandma for his Spooky shirt!!

Pumpkin Patch

Last weekend we went out to the East Mountains to McCall's pumpkin patch with our friends Damien and Hannah, and their niece Piper. Jack was very nervous around her the whole afternoon, maybe he's got a thing for blondes. I'm not sure Jack was able to appreciate all the festivities, but his mom and dad sure did!!

The Last Two Months in Three Videos!!

Sorry we're so lazy about putting videos up, no excuses. Anyways, here is a couple of our recent outings--the zoo and the State Fair. It seems like all of Jack's favorite books are animal themed, and he seems to come back from the zoo with a new word each time lately! It's not always the right word, but oh well.

The Fair was a bit overwhelming with all the people, but he was thoroughly blown away by seeing a cow and horse in real life!

Putting on Shoes

We were having some problems posting--all three videos were supposed to be together as to be watched in sequence, but oh well, you get the picture.

An Afternoon Full of Activities

This is a very typical day in the life of Jack. He gets a bit of cabin fever come the afternoon and loves going to play in the backyard. He has learned that he can't go outside without his shoes (darn those goatheads!), and our giant sandbox of a backyard is turning out to be quite fun for him! After a long day of playing, nothing beats a little avocado and water! Actually, anytime someone is eating or drinking he'll make that face at you!

Not So Skinny-Dipping

Jack loves getting outside and swimming on these hot summer afternoons!!

So "Innocent"

Here is Jack pre and post haircut, hanging with his buddy Levi!!

Warning: Adult Content

What a day! Spent the morning on a run with daddy and playing with my animals, followed by a trip to the zoo. After so many adventures there is nothing is more relaxing than a little naked fun in the sun!

Crawling Isn't Going to Last Long

Well, I guess Jack isn't satisfied with crawling around anymore--its time to get those legs movin!

Messing with the Animals

The red feather cat toy has been Jack's favorite for a few weeks now--who would have thought. We think he just uses it to get the cats close enough to grab their tails.

Role Reversal!!

Jack loved the fake sneezing so much that he started doing it himself!!

The Big Day--Happy Birthday Jack!

Here is Jack enjoying some cupcakes with his friends at daycare. We were sure he would fall in love with the sweets (much like his daddy), but as you can tell he was a bit freaked out by the whole ordeal! What a year it has been!!

Goodnight Lily!!

Jack can't wait to see you again cousin Lily--have a wonderful night's sleep!!

Big Surprise--His First Sign is for Cookie

We didn't think that Jack was picking up on all the sign language we were trying, but just like his daddy, there isn't anything he won't do for dessert!!

My Dad is the Funniest Guy in the World!!

Officially Mobile

Jack has had enough of this sitting around stuff--its time to boogie!!

Getting Ready to Crawl

Jack's getting there but can't get those big chubby

legs out from underneath him yet :)

Who is Imitating Who?

Jack had his first fever last night :( But he seems

to be feeling much better today!!

Splish, Splash, Jack Taking a Bath

Jack's Merry Christmas!!

Swinging!!

Messy Marvin

We fear the days of mess free eating are over :)
