New Pics

We took Atticus to get his pictures taken today. It was nap time and he was so tired, but we amazingly got a few keepers!

Some of them need to be cropped, but they are so cute!

He looks like he's surfing here.

Ride that fire truck, boy!

Big News!

I am now 9 weeks pregnant with baby #2! Atticus will be a big brother circa November 7th, 2009! We are so excited!

Random Photos

Atticus had corn-on-the-cob for the first time the other night. He tackled it like a pro!

Looking guilty of something...

1st Baseball Game of the Year

Atticus being 'tough' for the camera. We bought him his first official Diamondbacks hat at the game, and first corn dog!

Watching the game with all the attention and patience a 2 year-old can handle.

We got to pose with Baxter, the Diamondbacks mascot! :-)

Cheering on the D-backs!

More Birthday Pics

Cupcake fun.

I promise the kids were having a good time. I took this picture 3 different times and she would never smile! :-)

Cousin Ella enjoying a good read at the party.

Atticus turned 2 this month! We had a party at the park with a few friends and both of our families. My mom moved back to AZ so she was able to come to the party! Yeah! Atticus enjoyed 2 cupcakes during the party, which is a huge improvement from last year. He won't even eat 1 cupcake last year.

All the Roat Men, and Atticus is still eating his cupcake.

Opening gifts. There were A LOT of gifts. Wow!

All the kids having funa nd getting ready to devour some cupcakes.

Still eating his cupcake...

More Fun with Ella

My sister came over to celebrate a late Christmas with our Aunt yesterday. So, Atticus and his cousin Ella got to play together again. Here he is sharing his blanket with her., or maybe she's trying to take it I'm not positive. :-)

I love this picture!

Christmas in the Airport

We flew to Illinois the day after Christmas to see Ben's extended family. We got caught in the airport in Minnesota for 2 days due to weather and crowded flights! After all of that hassle Ben's suitcase, which had a lot of Atticus' clothes in it, was lost at the airport. So, here's a picture of Atticus in his second cousins pink pajamas with purple hearts, and Ben in his Uncle's too tight t-shirt and too short sweat pants. Too funny!

Killing time at the airport seeing 'wild life'

Atticus pretending to sleep at the hotel in Minnesota. Our friend Andrew was a life saver and came to rescue us from the airport and took us to a hotel.

Driving a train at the airport. Praise them for having a kids area.

The portable dvd player was a God-send!

Christmas with My Cousin

Ada, Mike and Ella all came over for Christmas dinner. Atticus had fun with the "baby", as he calls her. He even wanted to lay on her blanket with her. We had to stop him from laying on top of her though. I think he doesn't understand personal space yet!
