Jack turns 1

Jack turned 1 on 11.21.09. We had a fun family party with both the Maughan's and the Stringham's. I can't resist comparing how he is now from a year ago.
Here are a few highlights from his first ever birthday party.





He obviously shares his parents' love of chocolate!
We love you, Jack. Happy 1st Birthday!

New Family Pictures

I finally convinced Mike to get family pictures taken before Jack grows up too much! We took these pictures out by where we live. Mike just borrowed a tripod and we did our best to get Jack to look at the camera without crying and sticking his fingers in his mouth. We are happy with the way some of them turned out. Here are a few favorites.

Halloween 2009

Halloween for us this year was kind of nonexistent. Mike & I both had to work. We didn't plan it that way; but that's the way it happened. Poor Jack was orphaned on Halloween day and had lots of fun playing with Grandma & Grandpa Stringham. We dressed him up anyway as an adorable Zebra!
Happy, Smily Zebra!
On the move
The day before, Jack and I carved pumpkins because Mike had to work. We went over to Kim & Richard's house and carved pumpkins with cousins Tate and Cameron. Grandma & Grandpa Maughan came over too and we had a fun time carving masterpiece Jack-o-lanterns... these are the ones I carved.
