1998

Found this gem cleaning out the basement last weekend. Roc's dad at 24.  Isn't he handsome?  Look at all that hair!!

Rocs new haircut

It might be a little shorter on the right however it's out of his eyes!

Parenting advice

I'm embarrassed to say it has taken us 22 months to figure this out. 

Vacuuming your child is way easier than bathing them!  

Helping

Roc is finally contributing to the family chores!

Just a boy and his Elmo

Elmo arrived in a SLC from Jamaica on Friday.  Elmo has lots of stories to tell Roc of adventures with his cousins, beginning with Robbie 18 years ago!

If you ask Roc who is best friend is, he will enthusiastically tell you, "Elmo!!!"  They are a pretty amazing duo and Elmo is rarely out of Roc's sight.  Here are some highlights from the weekend.

Roc offering Elmo milk at breakfast.

Roc helping Elmo build towers out of his blocks.

Elmo protecting Roc from Amy and Eric's kitten.

A walk in the park with Elmo.

Pumpkin patch fun.  

Love and pumpkins.

Sometimes Roc gets frustrated that Elmo can't sit on his own.

It is important to stay hydrated at the Aviary.  Roc is very good at sharing with Elmo and very bad at sharing with anyone else.  

Corn maze (Elmo was napping in the stroller)

Roc took a few shortcuts thought the maze.

Luckily he eventually found his way out!

School photos

I could stare at that cute little face all day.

Rocs first race!

Pre-race excitement.

The start of the race.  Look closely, Roc is not having fun.  (The rest of the kids are already on the course.)

Roc decided to watch the other kids run from the safety of Dad's arms. 

He ended up walking across the finish line.  Elmo was waiting, ready to give him a finishers medal. 

Roc LOVES Elmo however didn't want him too close.

Best part of racing- these guys waiting at the finish line.
