Trip to DC

Hendrix and I had a good trip to Virginia and Washington DC to be with my dear friend Amy as she was sealed to her family for time and all eternity in the DC Temple. I unfortunately didn't get any pictures with my camera on the big day because I was in charge of Amy's camera.

Here's a lot of pictures, mostly out of order:

I love this picture of Hendrix in the Visitor's Center at the DC Temple. Even though he's really just climbing up the step, it looks like he's kneeling at the feet of the Savior

Most of the kids: Danger, Noah, Hendrix, Gabi and Aubrey

Hendrix says "This is MY crocodile head!"

SO excited at the Smithsonian!

Hendrix favorite part of the Smithsonian - His own reflection

My favorite part of the Smithsonian - The Hope Diamond. The picture really doesn't do it justice, the blue is so deep and vivid!

The Magician

In less than 15 months Hendrix turned a long sleeved pants suit into a short sleeved shirt!

Tiny Little Thief!

Some of my friends raved about these little hand-held baby snacks so I thought we'd try them out. I put some in the cart at the store and gave Hendrix one to play with. When I went to check out, one was missing but I just assumed it was the one he'd been playing with and he threw it while I wasn't looking. Well, when we left the store, I found the missing one in my purse, I guess Hendrix put it in there and I inadvertently stole it! I didn't feel like going back so I figure I'll just have them ring me up for an extra one next time.

Here's my little thief enjoying the spoils of his day!

Let the games begin!

The boy has figured out how to open doors! Luckily we always keep our front and back doors locked so he at least won't be able to escape!

Fun at the park

I can't believe how brave my little guy is! He goes down the slide by himself and is getting so good at the stairs! He's to the point now where he doesn't like to crawl up the stairs and can kind of walk up them instead.

Going down the slide all by himself

Mastering the stairs

Need I say more? Didn't think so!

Epic haircut and the corruption of the baby

Hendrix hasn't had a haircut since I nearly accidently gave him a buzz cut in late November and he was getting shaggy! So even though I was scared...I broke down and gave him a haircut tonight and I think it went pretty well!

Before:

After: I don't know why he looks so tan in the after pictures

After side view:

And the other night Hendrix got his first taste of soda, it didn't go so well but his reaction cracked me up!
