Christmas Morning 2008

Baxter decided to give Cameron a BIG kiss.

What's up with that dog and/or Ashley?


The funny picture?????

Who said the dog could be in the picture anyway?

Notice the size of Ashley and Jonny's stockings. Whatever!!!

Snow in the backyard after only one day.

Baxter chasing the laser light. He would hop through the snow like a bunny. We were all entertained.

Snow in Vancouver

It seems like there is snow everywhere--but usually not in Vancouver. This year was different and it was lots of fun and quite the adventure. I have to admit that we were starting to get a little tired of slippery, slushy roads and, voila, they are all gone--just one week later. Now we are having a regular Northwest Winter--grey skies and lots of rain.

The Tree Wisemans

We went yesterday to cut down the Christmas tree. Jonny did it in record time (its his first time having a real tree). We had a lot of fun, and of course so did Baxter. *Notice Baxter's head in the middle of the wreath.

Baxter- worn out on the ride home. He had his arms rested on the chair in front of him, and just laid his head down and slept.

Cousins Night

We had a cousins night and had a lot of fun. We ate pizza and sat around and talked. It was fun to catch up with everyone.

This is Cameron doing the hula-hoop on the Wii Fit. He and Nick were the entertainment of the night.

Christmas Wish Lists for the Nebraskan Boyles

Here's our Christmas Wish Lists for those who may be interested:

Kris
Beyond world peace and one measly championship for one of my college football teams, here are a few suggestions for Christmas. These are merely suggestions and I don't expect EVERY thing on this list. Though that would be a perk.

- Back to the Future Trilogy (on sale at Wal-Mart for $20)
- Maybe a movie or two from the Edited Movie site, www.cleanplaydvds.com (I'm particularly interested in collecting Spiderman or Pirates of the Carribean)
- iTunes gift card
- Sears gift card to collect tools
- One of those cool foot massage machines that Mom has. My poor feet aren't too fond of running as of late.
- Any kind of gift cards for clothes is good too.


Jordan
- He always likes books and games.
- He likes to draw pictures and color a lot, so any kind of art
- Wall-E
* I know his list is really small, but he's is really hard to get ideas from. He's just a content little boy. So if nothing else, gift cards are a safe bet if none of the aforementioned ideas work.

Cami
- Day After Tomorrow from the Edited Movie Web site
- Deseret Book Gift Card
- Michaels Gift Card
- A movie called The Ultimate Gift
- Bed, Bath, and Beyond Gift Card

There you go. It was really hard for us to come up with ideas, so I hope you appreciate it.

I have been going through some pictures that I have on my computer. I found some old pictures from Christmas and other things over the years. It brought back some good memories. Here are some of my favorites.

Thanksgiving 2005 in Idaho

Mom and Dad in Idaho (1976?)

Our visit to Seattle in 2004

This picture was taken just after I got home from my mission
New Years 2004

I don't know what year this was, anyone?
One of my personal favorites.

This one either, but maybe before Chase was born.

Chase and Littlefoot

Our western adventure in West Yellowstone, I think in 2006.

Me and Chase by the falls in The Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, 2007.

Right before we moved to Washington

Haunted Train

Yesterday--Dad and I went to the Gristmill to get some fresh apple cider and then to Yacolt to ride the train to Moulton Falls and back. It was a beautiful day and lots of fun. Here are some pictures--if I can figure this out.

Boyle Baby, Take 2

We had another doctor's visit this week in order to check up on Baby Boyle's kidneys. Apparently, one of them was dialated when we had the initial ultrasound was taken. The doctor assured us that this was fairly common in boys and often worked itself out before birth. Still, she wanted to have an additional ultrasound taken to check up on it, which is what led to this appointment. The bad news is there was no change, but the good news is that it isn't any worse. As long as it stays that way, the doctors still feel this will work itself out. We do have another ultrasound scheduled for a month from now so they can check up on it. The bonus was we got some new pictures, this time with some profile shots. Last time we were lucky to come away with some pics of his feet, but he couldn't hide from us this time (though he tried).

The ever-popular profile

He was a little smashed up against the wall in this one.

Playing a game of peek-a-boo

Autumn Fun

So, it hit me yesterday that Jordan has NEVER been able to jump in a pile of leaves. He was too little to care Utah and big trees don't exist in Texas. After borrowing a rake from the neighbors, we had a little bit of fun. It's not much, but that's all we have right now.

Life in the Windy City

I keep thinking I'm not sure why they call it the windy city- we haven't seen much wind, especially when you compare it to the wind in Rexburg. anyways.... here are some more pictures.....

Us on Navy Pier- it was so foggy that night that we could hardly see ten feet in front of us. We were right next to all the buildings but couldn't see any of the night lights. It was weird.
Not a flattering pic- but the Sears tower is huge!!!!!!!!!!
Cool View....

this old car was out on navy pier- they've decorated it like halloween/spooky-ness.... i'm not sure why thats halloweeny, but we thought we wanted a picture by it.

Cam's New and Exciting Life

You may be asking, after spending the summer performing on stage at the Playmill as the star of Oklahoma! Cameron, what are you going to do now? (I promise, I'm not as arrogant as that sounds) Well, I'm going to Disneyworld! Well, not until December. So for now, I'm looking for a job. I spend my days blogging, checking facebook, photoshop-ing pictures, and trying to more fully understand the meaning of life.

I have a lead for a job in Utah. Its in the business development department of a marketing research company. My friend works for them and says that he has given me a good recommendation, and I have a good chance at the job. But it will be a few weeks until that pans out. So I may go to the Sugar School District and sign up to be a substitute teacher (heaven help me!). It doesn't sound like a lot of fun, but its some money at least.

So I may be moving to Utah. I think there are probably better opportunities for me there anyways, even if this job doesn't work out. And its an added bonus that I will be closer to Kelly.

Here are some pictures of what I've been doing for the past little bit.

Singing at the Idaho State Fair with my friend Sarah

Bowling in Utah with Jeff and Kelly

Me and Kelly went to an entertainment park in Utah to miniature golf and hit some balls in the batting cage.

This picture reminds me of one during my little league days. I think I have that same stupid look on my face too.
