Sun Kissed

A new crop of cute little freckles sprouted on Rex' nose today.

Summer is coming!

Beach Fun

The first day of our little California spring break trip was spent with a long drive and then a short little trip to the freezing cold/windy beach with Tara and her kids. Somehow that didn't deter the kids from having a little fun.

I guess they figured it's not everyday they get to go to the beach so they had better make the most of it.
Did I mention it was freezing? F-R-E-E-Z-I-N-G
I was cold and I was sitting on a blanket with a sweatshirt on.
Matthew said it was fine after awhile because his body just went numb and he couldn't feel the cold.

It's so much more fun playing in beach sand than park sand.

See, I told you it was windy.

Then we had dinner at In-N-Out. Yum. Although not quite the novelty that it once was before it came to Arizona.

A Little Bit of the Devil In Him

He's growing horns.

Or maybe he's turning into Elvis (or his Uncle Wesley) with chops like those.

Anybody who knows this kid knows he really does have a little bit of the devil in him, which made this picture even funnier!

Rio Verde

On Saturday we went to the Rio Verde to have a little cookout with Aunt Hayley and Uncle EJ.

Lots of fun was had.

We-

climbed trees

threw footballs (and chewed on them)

collected shells

waded in the river

skipped rocks (Matthew claims one skipped 5 times!)

chucked rocks (which is what I would have been doing since I can't skip a rock to save my life)

stripped off wet pants

and fell asleep on the way home

(with a water bottle in the mouth that he did not want removed!)
