Arrrrrrrgh!

Jeff and I got invited to a fun Halloween party Saturday night. It was great. We didn't have any costumes a couple of hours before hand, so Jeff got the job of picking some up while he was out. He brought me home a "sexy pirate costume." I'd say I'm nore of a feisty pirate.

Jeff also went in pirate attire.

Who knew he could look so great with an earring?

It was a fun evening with fantastic food and good company.

Moving!

Yes, it's true. Jeff , Rex, and I are moving....not very far, but still moving. We found this home that we fell in love with and decided to put our home up for sale. Surprise - our home went under contract two weeks later. While I LOVE our current neighborhood and all the people here, we'll only be five minutes away. We have a month left in this home and then the official move occurs. Yikes! Jeff has been going to town packing things already. He's the man. Rex doesn't know what all the boxes are about, but he thinks it's fun to go through them all. (He'll be a lot more helpful during the unpacking part.) Anyhow, that's our current big news. More info and pictures later.

Yee-haw!!!

Let me introduce you to Rex the Cowboy. He's got of lots of personality. He will let me take a few pictures of him if I stuff him full of candy while taking the shots, but he still won't smile.

Smiles or not - I still think he's the cutest cowboy I've ever seen.
Here he is ready to make an arrest.
Rex actually now has a cowboy theme room. Pictures and debut still to come. It's all ready, but I'm keeping him in his nursery a little longer because I like the fact that he can't get out of his crib. What age did all of you let your kids switch to a bed?

These Boots Were Made for Walkin'

I bought these golashes for Rex a few months ago simply because I thought they were really cute. The fun thing is, he actually really likes them. He brings them to me in the house to put on him.

They are a little trickier to walk in, not to mention run.
You might be thinking to yourself right now, "Man, Cheri needs to give that boy a haircut! Yikes!" While that is true, it's super crazy here because of his nap and I'm letting it grow for his Halloween costume. Just wait and see....it's going to rock.
He loves his playset - especially the slide.

Are You Kidding Me?

I've been excited to take pictures of Rex in autumn leaves for months now. The problem is I woke up today to 3 or 4 inches of snow. The leaves haven't even fallen yet. I was outraged.

Someone, however, was pretty excited about the snow.

Here's the little man all dressed up for church today. Since it was cold, I got to bust out this adorable little hand-me-down sports coat. Check out those elbow patches...smooth!
After church I let him "discover" the snow himself.
He kept trying to pick it up and give it to me.
There was a day long ago when I thought I only wanted girls. What was I thinking? I don't think they make them cuter than this and he's all mine!

Having a Ball

While I haven't been the world's most exciting blogger lately, I do have my reasons. My parents were in town last week and this week Rex got strep. Yup, my poor little guy has been miserable. Anyhow, here's a picture of how he's most likely to be seen lately....with a ball in his hand. He carries at least one wherever he goes. He's doing lots of new fun things everyday, but nothing that he will repeat on command. He's a stubborn little guy......don't know where he gets that from. It could only be his father, of course :)

Banana Boy

Well, as you can see, Rex loves bananas - especially when grandma is feeding them to him.

Whoa, that's a big bite for a little guy.
Here are the chipmunk cheeks.
Rex also loves exploring in our backyard.
He still hasn't figured out how to break out....thank goodness!
He loves his birthday present from Grandma and Grandpa Heaton, but he thinks it's a climbing toy. He's practicing his tap dancing here and making his mom nervous.
When he got tired of being outside he went in and accidentally turned the TV on super loud with just static. He came out crying and scared. It was pretty funny.
