Sunday Funday- Stretch and Grow

Roc loves his Stretch and Grow class at school.   From what we can tell, his teachers instruct the kids in yoga, healthy eating, and exercise.  He, in turn, likes to be our Stretch and Grow teacher.  Here he is instructing John in his morning exercise routine.  The leader (Roc) gets to bang a drum and yell out instruction (mostly "go" and "freeze") and shows the 'kids' how to stretch (Roc's favorite stretch is downward dog with one leg up in the air).  

This kid is a blast!

Oh, and you have to have your mat (or cuddle blanket) nice and flat on the floor before you begin.

Oh, and Calla is still pretty cute too.

Sunday Funday

We took a family trip to the Aviary on Sunday.  It was a beautiful day!

Feeding the geese and ducks.  Roc stashes quarters in his pockets throughout the week so he can buy bird food at the aviary.

Dinosaur bones.

Poor Calla gets bundled, even when it is 70 degrees outside.  I constantly worry that she will get cold!

Must be nap time.

Toes and fingers

She's growing!  Poor little lady inherited my feet and hands, specifically long toes and fingers.

First hike!

It's my very favorite season in Utah, FALL!  Calla and I were lucky to get out on a hike on her 1 month birthday.  It was beautiful!  I think she loved it, but it was hard to tell because she slept the whole time.  Except when she woke up to poop.

We had a bit of a rough weekend.  Roc came down with a 103 deg fever so Calla and I were on quarantine (hence the hike).  We spent one night at a friend's house and one night with Aunt Abby. while John and Janine watched Roc.  The sickness has cleared, Roc is back at school and so far everyone else is still healthy.  And we only went through about 2 packages of bleach wipes with our constant house disinfecting!

Reno visitors

We always love visits from Uncle Z and Aunt Whittney.  Zak got to chase Roc around on his bike on Sunday and both Zak and Whittney got to cuddle Calla on Monday.  She pretty much slept the whole time they were visiting.  Does that mean they are boring or just very soothing??  

Uncle Z and Calla

Out for avocado toast.

Calla, approx 20 min after they left town.  She woke up!!!!  :)

Avocado Toast

My little brother is a dedicated hipster who LOVES avocado toast.   He turned 28 last weekend and we wanted to celebrate while he was in town.  What better way to celebrate than by making him a carrot cake shaped like avocado toast?  I'd say we pretty much killed it!  We will be talking about this cake for years to come.  

Final product with our inspiration photo.

My little brother is perpetually 7 in my mind, hence the 7 candles.

Such a sweet bday boy!

Photo with the Wells kids.  Roc has his first bite of icecream shortly after this photo was taken.  He, of course, loved it!  If Roc asks, he is only allowed to eat icecream with Uncle Zak.  I'm pretty sure that will elevate Uncle Zak to saint status in Roc's mind.

One month old today.

She is growing up too fast!
