Roc's 1st Birthday 200

Emma always willing to help out, especially if it had to do with opening presents

I gues someone did not get what they wanted

Roc's 1st birthday.  It was a new experience for him and there was some confusion to why he could not keep the wrapping paper.  He soon got over it and enjoyed his presents.

Bath Time 2006

Bath time is always more fun with more people.  It becomes more like a swimming pool with splashing and playing.

Roc learning to walk 2006

The phone was needed to ensure that Roc was able to keep his balance!

Some of Roc's first steps. Obviously Stacie has seen this before as you can tell by her being more interested in her People Magazine then her son's new found talent.

Emma on the floor and I'm sure she is concerned over her brother's safety.

It did not take long for Roc to pick up the whole walking thing.  Once he discovered that he could do it he was off. 

Winter of 2004-2005

Getting pics of Emma and Roc was a bit challenging. These were taken sometime in the spring of 2005. Getting her to not squeeze to hard, push him over or just love him to hard, was the biggest hurdle. If only they would be like that now.

These were actually taken before the one's above, Ryan's timelines a bit off. As is to date Emma's stuggling to stay awake after about 7 PM. We must have had a busy day with a late dinner for her to be already falling asleep.

Emma playing her version of dress up. She still likes to have a hat on her head and would run around prctically naked if you let her.

Ryan and Emma coming and having lunch with me before Roc was born. Oh the good old days of Walmart.

The first Halloween Emma was in daycare. They had a little party and treats. Thank goodness none of them were old enough to know any better because their treats were meat, cheese and crackers.

Trip to sled and get Christmas Tree 2005

I believe that this is a picture of the tree we choose.

Emma and Ryan sledding, it was a short event, for Emma's first time in the snow she did not adjust well.  Emma didn't do very well after her hands got cold.  It was fun while it lasted.
