Happy Birthday Rex!

Another year older and wiser too, Happy Birthday to YOU! Rex has always had the best personality and keeps you on your toes. He makes me laugh everyday. He is also stubborn and aggressive. (our fault maybe, we did give him the middle name Ewell) One thing Rex never forgets is to tell you he loves you. WE love you too Rex E.

Each of these pictures totally represent the kind of kid he has always been. Happy even in the hospital. Loving and caring to everyone. A total rock star and the life of the party. Or just the wild crazy little boy in a tree. Rex has always been a spitfire and we love him for it.

Where does the time go!

The last 6 weeks have gone by so quick. I felt like each week was shorter and shorter. I think I sat down many times to make a quick post only to get pulled away by something more important. We did go to a Christmas party, school parties, decorated cookies, made a gingerbread house, saw the lights, and many other things. New Years Eve we spent with a wonderful group of friends and we counted down at about 7:45pm. The kids didn't know any better and were excited to bang pots and pans and let off fireworks. The next night we got to go out with just adults and it was awesome to have some time just for the two of us. During all the craziness of Christmas, Ben was made the Elder's Quorum Pres. and I was put into be the 1st counselor in Young Womens. So anyways these pictures are mostly from our wonderful holiday season.

Sunday before Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve with Ben's parents and the Haugh's. Elena and Makena did a great program for us that night. Notice Noah and Rex are really enjoying it.

Christmas Morning

Just the other night I had Jilly in the bath and Rex wanted to join her so I let him get in. They loved splashing each other and it reminded me that I have baby pictures of all my other kids in the tub, but have never taken any of Jill. (The poor forgotten 4th child) So I whipped out the camera and got some cute ones.
