Santa

I think this picture speaks for itself!

Random fun

Isn't he cool with his tube socks and I-pod!
Jack hates brushing his teeth. Here he is hiding from me in his fort

Wade taking random pictures of himself. He likes to steal our camera and take as many shots of himself as possible. By the way congratulations Wade and Kali their beautiful and enormous baby Miles! Yah!

This is Jack in his fort

And this is us making his fort. We were bored!

Museum of Science and a day at the park

Jack learning about magnets
playing with the blocks

doing other fun stuff. The museum was fun because we did a play date with some of the other moms in the ward.

What a chick magnet

hanging out at the park

Halloween

In Salem

This wasn't taken on Halloween but it was in Salem so I thought it was appropriate, and this is probably one of my favorite pictures of Jack. I think he looks so cute and funny!

Jack on the train on our way to Wade and Kali's so we could go trick r treating!
At the Ward Halloween party. How do you like Jared's chops?

Driving to Boston

St. Louis
Illinois or Indiana?

Pennsylvania

New York

Boston

I would have taken more pictures but I ran out of memory on my camera. This trip took about 5 days total not including the stop in Kansas City. And, it actually went a lot smoother than it could have. Jack did great. So we are here now and we have unpacked and Jared just started his first day of school today. I keep singing that Adam Sandler song "back to school, back to school, I've got my shoes tied tight..." I think he is really excited about going back to school. So, we are getting settled here. The weather is perfect, the city is beautiful, we have some great family close by and the ward is great so all in all things are going pretty good. I just have to find a job now!

Fun at Sammie's

Driving to Boston

Driving to Sammie's, we were really excited to be in a car again. This was driving day 3.
There was a little storm on the way to Sammie's and then while we were down at Sammie's there were some tornado warnings around midnight so we all had to go downstairs. We didn't dare go in the basement though because of the possibility of snakes, Sam's basement is scary. So, we plopped down on the couch on the main floor and prayed that we would at least hear a tornado coming so we could run for the basement. No worries though none ever came.

Day two driving through Nebraska

Day one driving through Wyoming

Just starting on our trip to Boston. Jack was high enough up that he could see all of the farm animals that we passed. He kept saying hi hi hi, moo, moo, moo. I was really cute for the first hour.
