Baby Blessing and a Little Sunday Football

Last Sunday we went to Orem for my niece's baby blessing.

Four Generations of Algers

After the blessing we hung out at Andrew and Haley's for the afternoon.  Rex's other Grandma, Grandma Garner, got him a Seattle Seahawks jersey so we had to put it on him and see if he had any natural football talent.

Here he is going for the ball...

Guess this answers our question...

We seriously laughed so hard that my brother was able to capture Rex's face 3 inches deep in the grass.  This still makes me laugh.

He can't believe he missed the ball.

Here he is throwing his hand over his head and saying "touch down".  We're making sure to teach him the essentials.

Halloween

Here are some pictures from our fun weekend!

Josh got himself a turkey

Rex loves candy, he is my son after all

 

Rex had a "take it or leave it" attitude when it came to his cousin, Sophie.  Here he's using her as an arm rest.

Family Photos

Despite an early morning scare in the form of ominous dark clouds and a bit of rain, we were able to squeeze in our family pictures this Saturday afternoon. It worked out perfectly. There was a small patch of blue in the midst of the clouds just long enough for us to get the pictures taken before it closed up and the rain continued.

Follow this link for a sneak peak of our pictures. Our photographer Leah is fantastic!

The Pumpkin Patch

We recovered from Swine Flu!  We had to get out of the house so we went to the pumpkin patch.  Rex loved it (of course) because it was outside.

First Birthday!

Here are some pictures from Rex's big day!

Really enjoying that basketball cupcake

We were singing 'Happy Birthday' to him during this photo and he wasn't sure what to think of it

Sports cupcakes (Sorry Lindsey, I totally copied your idea from Cannon's bday last year)

Rex trying out his new director's chair

Birthdays aren't all fun and games

Rex got some wheels

And a new carseat!!

Walk Like a Man!

Sunday Drive

This afternoon we took a drive in the canyon and saw some beautiful scenery. Rex loved being outside which made for an irresistible photo opportunity. We had a hard time getting his attention for a good picture, he was more interested in the sticks and grass. Go figure!
