Roc logic

As we were getting ready for school yesterday.

Mom:  "Roc, can you get your shoes on so we can go to school?"

Roc:  "yes!"  (but no action)

A few minutes later...

Mom: (again) "Roc, I need you to be my helper.  Can you get your shoes on so we can go to school?"

Roc:  "yes!"  (but no action- still lying on the floor with Cardinal and his cuddle blanket)

Mom:  "Roc, do I need to count?"

Roc:  silence

Mom: "1.........2.........3!"  Mom puts Roc's shoes on while he cries....

**Later- in the car.

Roc: "Are you feeling frustrated Mom?"

Mom: "Yes Roc, I was frustrated that you didn't put on your shoes to get ready for school."

Roc:  "Does that make you feel sad?"

Mom:  "Yes, I'm very sad.  I needed you to be my helper and put your shoes on so we could go to school but you ignored me"

Roc:  "Mom, you are still my best friend."


Watch out world.  He is a charmer.

Granny booties

Completing her girlie outfit with booties made by my Granny.  They kind of look like fuzzy winter boots.

This is just the beginning....

.....of a lifetime of matching outfits.  

Roc loves touching Calla's cheeks while saying "isn't she cutie!?!?"

So serious.

At first she was unsure of her brother's hugs.

Luckily she is a pretty patient baby.

The matching outfits only lasted about 20 min.  Calla had an unfortunate blow-out in her pants.  :(  Good thing her overalls were already the color of baby poop.

Valdez Visitors

Adrien, Lucca, and Renae came to visit!  Their visit was short, but sweet.  Renae and her family now live in Lander, Wyoming and Adrien and baby Lucca were out for a few weeks.  Luckily Salt Lake is the closest major airport so they stopped for a night on Adrien's journey home to D.C.  Old friends are the best.  

Adrien reading Roc stories.

Our kiddos are only 2 weeks apart in age!  Lucca was born Aug 19th and Calla Sept 1st.

Baby Lucca, passed out.

Flirting on the playmat.

Out for coffee and a stroll around the park.  Shortly after this photo was taken, Lucca woke up and Calla fell asleep.

Cutest!

Yep, she's still cute....

Roc's bike commute

Biking to school.  This kid has a very rough life.

The end of the fall colors at Liberty Park.

Roc picks up leaves, pinecones and rocks on every outing so we have piles of his treasures on our front porch.  He always makes sure to pick up at least 4 rocks, one for each family member.  :)
