Baby Mae

My very dear friend allowed me the privilege of photographing her newborn, Mae.  Despite some horrible lighting due to an afternoon thunderstorm...they turned out!  Enjoy!

Easter Weekend

What a fun Easter weekend we had!  We kicked it all off by hosting a party for the LDS Business School students and their families where we had an Easter egg hunt for the kids and a BBQ.

Josh on the grill

We started up the fire pit and roasted s'mores.  Rex ate mostly marshmallows that night for dinner.

Sunday morning Rex discovered his first ever Easter basket.  Of course he loved the random, unexpected gifts but I don't think he understood the whole bunny concept.

Grandma Garner sent Rex these cute train letters

This was the fastest we've ever dyed Easter eggs.  In the past, Josh and I have enjoyed dying them ourselves while Rex napped.  This year, we let Rex help which was fun yet stressful, so we did it as quick as possible to avoid any major disasters.  (Also to avoid disasters, we put Rex in navy/black sweats combo so the dye wouldn't stain his clothes...so don't judge him).

And being the smart parents we are, we let Rex eat a chocolate bunny at 8pm while he Skyped with Grandma and Aunt Kelsey.  He didn't go to bed until 10pm.

Happy Easter!

Weekend in Philly

We took a quick trip up to Philadelphia this past weekend so Josh could attend an LDS Business Conference in New York.  We stayed with some friends who live on the PA side of the New Jersey/PA border.  They were wonderful hosts and showed us a great time in the city!

We enjoyed some delicious cheesesteaks - cheez whiz and all!  

While the guys were in NYC we took the kids to the Philadelphia Zoo.  It was such a neat zoo and Rex had a blast.

These turtles were my favorite.  They were being fed while we were there and it was hilarious to watch them walk as fast as they could to where the food was being set out.  

And this giraffe was so funny to watch.  He couldn't reach what he was after on the ground because his legs were too long.  So he contorted his legs and body so he could reach it.  Must have been something good...

And regrettably, we didn't take any pictures with our friends :(  But thank you guys SO much for letting us stay with you and showing us around.  It was a great trip!
