Do you like my haircut?

Rex was getting a little shaggy around the edges so Josh gave him his first haircut last night! I was nervous at first because his long hair was a little curly and it was adorable - I didn't want to cut them off. He still looks handsome with shorter hair. Maybe now we will be able to style it!

We set up the portable DVD player. Worked like a charm to keep him pretty still.

Finished product. Handsome guy!

Yes, we are mean parents...

When we photograph Rex we usually end up with at least one of these gems each time. Josh and I really get a kick out of them.

My Siamese Daisies

An astonishing feat of horticulture...BEHOLD:

Isn't it strange? There are two flowers but the stems are joined.

And Rex isn't sure what to think

First Trip to the Zoo

This weekend we are having unseasonably cool weather. We decided it would be the perfect weekend to take Rex to the zoo (unfortunately, most of Salt Lake also thought it would be a good day for the zoo). Rex had a good time checking out all the animals. He only knows the "baby sign" for dog, so everything was a dog. I also had such a good time, I love the zoo!

Here we are, map in hand, getting ready to see some animals

Cool looking turkey - Thanksgiving dinner, anyone?

We got really close to this guy - so cute

The tiger was originally at the other side of his cage. I didn't feel like fighting the crowd to get a look so I was standing on the other side of his cage. All the sudden he came running over to get a drink and pose perfectly for a sweet picture - just for me!

Boating in Boise

Josh's parents recently bought a boat, so we met them in Boise for a short weekend of lake fun. Even though it was a bit chilly, we had a great time.

This pic was taken about 2.2 seconds before Rex fell asleep

My husband is cooler than yours :)

Rex and Aunt Kelsey

Grandma bought this blow up hippo pool for Rex to play in, but it doubled as a nice little place for him to take a nap.
