C is for Cookie!

Rexford likes to make cookies for family home evening and tonight Austin discovered that you could see the cookies inside the oven. He stood there a long time and kept going back. He also knew when they were out and people were eating them and demanded one himself. He loves cookies!

Aly's House

Today we went to Aly's house to play for a little bit. Rexford found a game in her closet with pictures of trains on the box and wanted to get it out. He had lots of fun lining up the trains all over the board. Then he found a swiffer and pretended to clean the floors. Austin of course liked this and followed him all over the house. Thanks Aly for entertaining us!

Mom's Birthday

For my mom's birthday we all went to Cracker Barrel for a yummy breakfast and then back to her house for cupcakes. Here are some of our fun photos!

Crazy Drivers

Rexford loves this car and Austin does too! They sometimes fight over it but the other night they were having so much fun. Rexford was pushing Austin and they were both crazy and laughing and silly. I love it when they are like this!

After they were all sweaty and tired Rexford helped Austin drink a little juice

Big Helper

Rexford is becoming quite the helper lately - wanting to make his own food, push the cart or stroller by himself, do laundry, and feed Austin. Every morning when I feed Austin his breakfast Rexford gets a chair and gets Austin's food out and feeds him. He's such a good helper :)

Austin

Austin is just such a happy little guy and smiles a ton! Here are some pictures of my sweet boy.

mama!

The first day of Fall didn't really feel like Fall...

We went to the park again this week and it was still so hot! I love summer and swimming and being warm and I usually complain when it's cold. I am looking forward to slightly cooler temps though so we can enjoy the park and playing outside. We had fun feeding the ducks and playing on the playground and can't wait for Fall to show up.

Rexford loved feeding the ducks but didn't want to get too close. Austin was fascinated by it all.

Austin loves the swing!

Rexford still loves to go really high

Fun Rexford Quote

Tonight we were watching football on tv and Brian yelled out, "Come on, stop these people!" Rexford responds, "I know how to stop these people: the remote!"

Watching Daddy

Last night Brian was outside cutting the lawn and I found Austin watching him out the window. He stood there for a long time and then Rexford joined him.

Time for bed :)

Rexford and Mommy Time

Austin has been sick the last few days so we skipped Aquatica and haven't really gone anywhere. On Friday Rexford kept wanting to go somewhere and I told him we couldn't go anywhere since Austin was crying and needed a nap. He asked me if we could have a picnic and I said yes. Austin had other plans and wouldn't go to sleep for a while. So we had our picnic inside. Austin finally went to sleep and we were able to finish our picnic and play on the computer. I should have been working with Rexford on writing letters but I have never tried before. I guess I thought he wouldn't be able to do it and get frustrated. I was wrong-he tried all of the letters and numbers and did really well. He loved it and was so proud of himself. He's getting so grown up!

My sick little Austin - thanks for giving me and Rexford your cold!

Fun with Uncle Caleb

Uncle Caleb stopped by for a few minutes the other day and Rexford tired him out! He made poor Caleb throw him up in the air a thousand times! Then they built a big block tower together. Here are some photos of fun with Caleb.
