OUT OF ORDER

Sorry folks, our camera is not working currently, so although there is plenty to photograph, no cute Jackson pics this week. Of note, Jackson's vocabulary has EXPLODED since Halloween. He is saying names and putting small sentences together that are surprising and delighting mom and dad. He LOVES to chew gum, he looks pretty grown up chomping around the house. AND he has un-potty-trained himself, so we are back in diapers for this week. Accidents around the clock, oh boy. But he is so much FUN anyway!!

Will work on getting our two broken cameras fixed... Nicole

OCTOBER FESTIVITIES

What a great month is October! Often overlook, but the weather is always beautiful and the anticipation of holiday fun hangs in the air!

Earlier in the month we went to the Underwood Family Farm for the second year to see the great big pumpkin patch.  Jackson had fun playing with his friends from the ward!

This Halloween we were lucky enough to be in Idaho with family! Here is Jackson as a pirate with Dad who just got home from Elk Camp.  Aunt Jenna taught Jackson how to say "ARGH MATE" and brandish his dagger.

Saturday night we had a Boyle Family party at Aunt Kristen's house. Grandma Boyle planned a few Halloween games and we all dressed up and ran around like crazy. Uncle Jon made some awesome hot wings. Here are all the cousins dressed up. Cousin Riley was a pirate too!

Once again, it was great to be with family! Can't wait until the next time! See you all soon!

What have we been up to?

We want to give Jackson a head-start on emergency preparedness so we've been teaching him CPR.

Ana has been cooking some awesome Mexican cuisine for us- she even attempted tacos for the first time which turned out AWESOME! And you have to use the meat cleaver to make it official.

Jackson has been helping Ana with her english and Ana has been helping me w my spanish. We made some flashcards of body parts and took some pictures so I wouldn't forget where they belong.

Before Ana had to get her wisdom teeth out on Thursday we thought we'd better take her to the California classic In 'N Out.  She liked the burger but thinks Carls Jr. has better fries.

Here is Jackson "hidding" from mommy.

THE BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD:

OROWHEAT SANDWICH THINS!

First of all, they are only 100 calories per pair, but the big kicker: 5grams of fiber!

And, they taste great. I am SOLD!
