So the baby discovered the hose...

I might be a bad Mom. I'm not sure. So today Rhys had spaghetti-o's for lunch and he made a BIG mess. Huge. So instead of putting him in the bathtub to wash off, I stripped him down and put a sprinkler in the backyard. He loves playing in the sprinkler anyway, he just got to do it naked. I wonder what my neighbors were thinking as they saw this butt naked baby playing in the yard. They probably all think I'm insane already anyway, so I probably shouldn't worry.
Anyway, I took the sprinkler off so I could really hose him down and I showed him how to drink out of the hose. He thought it was pretty cool. So this evening we were out playing in the yard again (yes, I let my son run around in a diaper a lot. It's hot here!!) and I turned the hose on again for him. I love the fact that he had the hose between his legs. It just makes it look really funny. Enjoy!

Easter Egg Hunting!!

This morning we had a ward Easter party. They did a Easter Egg hunt for all of the kids which was really fun. Rhys had so much fun looking for eggs. It was so hot though. Scott and I helped hide the eggs and by the end of hiding them we were both gross sweaty. It was really funny, Scott went into tell all the kids that we were starting the Easter egg hunt. He goes in and says, "The easter bunny finished hiding all the eggs and he got really hot so he left" and one kid yells really loud " Yeah, we can see your sweat!!"
Anywho, Rhys was so cute searching for eggs. This one is my favorite. Does it look like he's peeing to anyone else?

Happy Birthday to You.....

We made it!! Scott and I were able to keep Rhys alive for a whole year. Well, more than that if you count the time I was pregnant. But anyway, Rhys had a birthday!! One year old!! I can't believe it!
We had some friends over to celebrate with us. Amber made a beautiful cake for him to make a mess with. At first he didn't really know what to do but he got the hang of it pretty quick.

Scott and I got Rhys these marker things that are made for little hands. They are really cool but he doesn't really get what to do with them. He just banged them on the coffee table and tried to suck on them. Not a great idea!! Anywho, we're going to hold on to them for a while and try again with them when he's a little older.

Here he is opening his gift from Grandma Jo. She sent him a photo album with everyone's picture in it. He's getting the hang of opening presents a lot better. Thanks everybody for the gifts you sent him. Megan, I love the ties!! They are so cute and I love how everything is tropical fabric!! Can't wait for Sunday when he can wear them!

Ok, so this little video is so cute. The Roberts were over for Rhys' birthday shindig and Rhys decided to give Arden a ride on his cart. He's such a cute kid! Anyway, enjoy!

Funny Picture

Rhys got some lollypops from his Aunt Lisa for Valentines day. He enjoyed them a lot!!

Happy Birthday Sarah!!

Today is my sister Sarah's 30th birthday! She's getting so old!! Sarah likes to post silly pictures of people on their birthday so I decided to look through all my old photos to find pictures of her. Sarah, I love you to death and hope you have a happy, happy birthday!!

A few years ago we took a trip to Costa Rica and we went on one of those zip line tours. You get to ride horses up to the trees and back. Sarah had the LAZIEST horse ever!! She was always last and got stuck riding next to the tour guides making uncomfortable small talk. Plus, it had a really bad name. It was like a swear word in Spanish, but she didn't know that until the end, after she had been calling it that the whole time.

Sarah and TJ love to cosmic bowl. Which is, you dress up in silly outfits and go bowling. Bowling is much more fun when you look like a total dork.

Ever watch Saturday Night Live? Sloppy Joe..Slop, Sloppy Joe....

Ok, so this is NOT Sarah, just so you know. While I was looking for pictures of Sarah, I found this really funny one of mom that I had to post. That dinosaur thing in her hand is a water gun. If I remember right, she got into a water fight with some of the kids in the house. I think she was doing the dishes or something and it got out of hand and this is what happened. It was really funny. This is one of the many reasons I love my mom.

Our Continuing Adventures!!

I've been meaning to post these pictures for a while now and I've been totally lame-o. These first pictures are some of Rhys cause, you know, it's really not a blog entry until I've posted pictures of him. So, here he is! This week we went to play at the little park in our neighborhood. He's getting a lot better at walking so I figured he might actually have fun on the toys now. He had a blast walking all over, crawling through all the tubes, and finding leaves to put in his mouth. He's so cute!!

A few weekends ago we went on a little jaunt to Ponce (pronounced Pon-say for all you gringos), which is on the south side of the island. It is such a cool little town. We went to this boardwalk by the beach where you can watch all the boats come in. There are pelicans all over this boardwalk. Scott was trying to get me to touch one of them, but I'm pretty sure if they wanted to they could bite my fingers off. That would not be awesome.
Oh, yes, and Megs, it's January in these pictures and we are all wearing shorts!! It is still so hot!!

We took a tour of this really old cool house. The owner of the house was an architect and very wealthy for that day and age. He had the coolest shower ever!! Back then you were lucky if you had running water period, and he had a shower. It was sweet. Here you can climb up this rickety spiral staircase to get to a patio on the roof. It was nice and breeze up there, and a pretty good view to spy on your neighbors!

Lonely Planet says that this is the most photographed building in Puerto Rico, so I had to take a picture! It's an old fire house. I have no idea why they made it look like this, but it's pretty unique. I dug it. Maybe Scott will let us paint our house like this one day!
