Rex's First Haircut

Rex got his first haircut on April 6. We took him to Cookie Cutters and, with a lot of distraction, he did pretty well.

Cowboy Rex

We had fun taking pictures for Rex's cowboy birthday invitations. He did not want that little hat on his head.

Will you be my Valentine?

Our sweet Valentines.

Clara and I had fun decorating the house for Valentine's day and sending out our Valentines. She got finger paints as a Valentine's surprise. She was one happy gal.

And because I love it, here is a random picture of Rex helping Ben open the mail.

The Cousins

Clara loves going to Aunt Audra's house. Several times a week Clara asks, "Audra? Tobin? Keynan? Julian?" Audra has a huge playroom downstairs and one day last week Clara said, "Audra? Stairs? Fun?" Audra's boys are so sweet to her and she is so content to play the entire time we are there. Today we went for a visit and the Halloween costumes came out. Even Rex got in on the action.

Splash pad

Clara, Rex and I went to our new neighborhood splash pad earlier this week. Clara had a grand time. She enjoyed the other kids as much as she enjoyed the water. She's been so excited about putting her swimsuit on this summer. Whenever she sees it, she starts shouting "suit!" and tries to take off her clothing.





Occasionally, she'd come over and say "Hi Rex!" before hopping back to the water.





She got pretty worried when the water would temporarily stop.

House guest

Can you see what was in our living room tonight?



As Clara would say, it's a hopper.
