Selfies

I just love her so much!!

Halloween!

Luckly Roc's Elmo costume from last year still fit him.  

Roc at Garden After Dark (Halloween program at Red Butte Gardens)

Halloween party at school- the skirt was a last minute addition by Roc from his classroom's dress-up clothes.

Cooking with Roc

Anytime someone is cooking, Roc asks to be "up the counter" so he can be involved.  A few days ago, I let Roc help me make pumpkin bread. He is pretty good at stirring and only spilled about 1 cup of flour on the floor.

First time he has been allowed to lick the spatula clean.  He decided pumpkin bread was quite delicious!

Granny!!!

Granny, Calla, Roc, and Big Stomper right before we dropped her at the airport.  When we got home I took the kids to the Aviary.  Roc kept telling me that when we were done we would "go to the airport and pick up Granny and Grandad".  He is already ready for Granny's next visit (and wants her to bring Grandad along too)!

"I put my t-rex in my pocket so he doesn't get lost"

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.
