Happy St. Patrick's Day

First thing this morning Steve started off by pinching Rex for not wearing green. He pinched him back but Rex didn't see that Steve had green socks on. Oops! Here are some picture of Rex in his green.

Suey and Abby came over for some lunch. It was fun to see them. Abby really enjoyed playing with Rex's toys. At first she just sat there but once she got going she had fun. You can come play whenever you want Abby.

We hope you all have a great St. Patrick's day!

Pictures with Animals...

Steph took Rex with the Sulz's to Thanksgiving farm. Because I had to prepare for inventory (boo-hoo) I was unable to attend, and for lack of not actually knowing what was going on in each picture, I thought I would show off some of my favorites.

I think he is mistaken about how much fun jail is

Playing with the kids

The weather was so nice day today. I went to my sister Rachael's for dinner and Kadrie thought it would be fun to play with Rex outside. He loves to be outside. He is locked up in doors way to much. Kadrie jumped with him on the tramp and he thought that was so much fun. He just sat there and laughed the whole time. Then we put up the baby swing and he had a good time just swinging in the backyard. He loves to be with the

kids. The days that we just stay home he gets so restless. He will be fussy and as soon as he sees the kids he is just as happy as can be.

Eating dinner has gotten so hard. Rex has mastered getting whatever we are eating down. You should hear him whine until he gets a taste of whatever it is we are having. The problem is once you start to feed him off of your plate or from your cup he wont stop whining until it is gone. But don't worry he's not spoiled- yeah right.

The newest addition to the fam

My sister Alison had a baby on March 6th. They named him Stockton Max Sondrup. He weighed 8 lbs 11 oz and was 21 inches long. I couldn't believe all of his hair. Alison had a lot of hair when she was born but I have never seen a baby with that much. Rex was excited to see him. They are only 7 months apart so they will be good friends. He has never seen a baby before and he was trying to grab his face so we had to watch him. It made Rex seem so big after holding Stockton. It is crazy that they grow so fast.

Before going to see the baby I made Steve take me and Rex to The Cheesecake Factory. It was 11:30 when we got there and there was a 45 minute wait. But the cheesecake was well worth it. We decided to do some shopping while waiting. Steve bought Rex the cutest little puppy hat. Its the closest to a puppy we will ever have. He kept pulling on the ears to try to get it off so we couldn't keep it straight on his head.

Steve took a few days off of work. It was fun to hang out. Rex gets used to having him home right as he has to go back to work and school. When he is in school we don't get to see him on the weekends. On Fridays he goes straight from work to school and on Saturdays it is school straight to work. He is a hard worker.

BlackBerrys & (Maybe) Springtime

After struggling with the Razr for an extended period of time, we decided that new phones were a necessity. After dealing directly with an AT&T authorized outlet, we opted to purchase straight from the source. Stephanie thinks the Perl is cute, so that is what she had to have. I chose a Curve, and we have both been extremely happy. The whole point of this boring explanation is that the following pictures were taken with Steph's phone.
Rex wasn't so sure about the swing at first, but after watching the pro for a few minutes, he decided he could let loose and enjoy the little time he had outside. Steph said it was nice one minute, and the next thing she knew the wind was blowing Arctic air.

Rex has really gotten into food lately. As soon as we sit down for dinner he wants whatever we are eating. I will give him a bite in between eating. He will start to fuss as soon as it is gone- which doesn't take long. Its pretty funny. Here is a pictures of his latest find.He had just finished eating his squash for dinner and he saw licorice on the table. My sister Rachael gave into him and let him chew on it. It kept him busy for quite a while.

Kadrie and Isabelle, my nieces, have been helping Rex learn how to crawl. He is starting to get a little closer but but quite there yet.

Rex sure is a happy boy since he has started to feel beter. He is more fun every day.

I hope they call me on a mission

Taylor, my little brother, has had his share of being in the newspaper and now he has made it in Pennsylvania. He was tracking and some reporter stopped him and his companion to take a picture. He looks so cute. He is the one on the right. He seems to be doing well. He has had one baptism but says things are pretty slow right now. I get an email from him every Monday and he always asks about "his little boy Rex." He even had an investigator give him a book about TuPac and Taylor sent it to us so we could read it to Rex every night- its getting a lot of use.

My dad bought Rex a missionary shirt. He looks so cute in it. I took some pictures to send to Taylor but since he looked so handsome in them I thought I would share. He is our future missionary.
