Is It Too Late For Halloween?

December isn't too late to post Halloween pictures is it? Well I wanted to at least let Jack's grandparents see his first costume so here it is. Who says you don't want a scunk around? Thanks Mindy for letting us borrow this last minute!

Thanks Missy!!!

Today I called my sister, Missy, to ask her a question and she said: "By the way, I have all my photo shoot equipment up and am planning to take it down today. Do you want to bring Jack over for some pictures before I do?" Yay, I've been feeling so bad lately that I haven't had any professional photos taken of Jack since he was 2 weeks old and he is now 9 months old. So of course we headed over. So Jack was having a bad hair day, no it doens't just happen to girls on important days, but he is still stink'n cute. Don't you think so?

Up to Date

Get ready for a photo blitz. I am making up for lost time

I think that Jack likes this denatal magazine more then I do. He started crawling a little over a month ago and now he is in to everything. I don't know what it is about power cords but he loves them.

Jack loves Tilli. Tilli gets a little annoyed with his affection and walks off a lot.

Jack loves to read books. Last week grandma Kee came up to vistit and she brought some good books for Jack to read

All tuckered out. We went to San Diego last month while I was on my break from school. It was Jacks second time at the beach but first time to touch the ocean water. He loves the ocean. He was getting a little bit cranky because I wouldn't let him crawl around in the water.

We also went up to the Earl Family cabin during my school break. While we were there I heard a noise in the ceiling while I was taking a shower. It turns out it was a mountian deer rat or something like that. I bought one of those break you neck rat traps and then I saw him running around up in the ceiling and didn't have the heart to kill him. Luckily one of Maggi's sisters has a trap up there for cathing animals. As you will see, I got him. He loves Peanut butter. He must be a Ross

Another stop on my break was Pleasant Grove. Quite possibly the nexus of the universe. While we were there I had some friends of mine over for a BBQ. Good Times.

Jack was so cute looking at the flowers in my parents yard, I couldn't resist taking a quick shot of him with his mom

Four generatios of Ross boys. We took like 5 pictures of this and this one is the best. It seems it is impossible for all four of us to be looking at the camera at the same time, let alone smile

Four pretty Earl girls with some cute babies

While we were in San Dieago we went to old town. We ate some great mexican food and we found the old dental shop.

Just enjoying the day at Seaport Village.

We discovered a great chain burger place in Oceanside. It is called Ruby's. It has some really good french fries and the shakes are fantastic. Jack was learning how to drink out of a straw while we were there. We went through at least 15 straws before we were done. He kept throwing them on the floor.

In all the years I have lived in Utah I had never been to park city other then to ski. My dad and Valerie took us for a walk around their center street. It was a lot of fun. We looked at some shops and we ate at a pizza place. Valerie got mad a my dad and me because we got cheese fries with our pizza. I cant understand why, fries go with just about everything.

Why Do Babies Have To Grow Up?

I'm sitting here crying because I miss my newborn babe. Jack is growing up way too fast, and while it is fun to watch him grow and learn, it breaks my heart that he will never be small again. He started eating solids about a week ago and got his first tooth last week. David doesn't understand why I'm so sad because he is just having fun with Jack's growing up. I guess only a mother has the kind of bond with her child that causes this kind of pain. Can any of you other moms sympathize? I'm feeling totally sad. I love my little boy undescribably, but my heart aches terribly for the tiny baby that will never be again. Why do these tears keep coming?

THE BOY I LOVE UNDESCRIBABLY...

Jack's first taste of food. This was one of the funniest moments of my life. Wish I was up to posting the video. Maybe another day.

The day jack got his first tooth!
