Roux is 2!!!

Finally I am getting on to update for Roux's birthday!  Took me long enough to finally get things on the computer.  I can't believe I have an amazing and adorable 2 year old!!!  The hardest part is he's so cute that when he's a turd (which has been a lot since the morning he woke up 2) it's so hard to get upset at him.

We were in the week before his birthday and had a little party for the morning we left to drive back to AZ.  We went over to Papa's for cake and of course Roux liked the fire, takes after his mom.  Reminds me of the time Lars and I burned down the field by the blue apartments and the fire trucks came.  Lars went inside to mom and asked her for a glass of water, to put out the fire of course.  That was funny.  Pretty sure we were grounded for a while and not allowed to play with Daniel (I think that was the other kids name.)

Nonna and Poppa let Roux open his gifts a day early so he could play with them in the car.  Thanks!!! It really helped a lot.  Especially the cowboys and horses.
This is the Cowboy set he got and LOVES!  It's always Poppa's horses and he even started adding Nonna's horses, she doesn't have any horses.

We had a surprise birthday party for Mom's 50, which wasn't for another week but made it even more of a surprise.  Roux played with the balloons.  Whenever we go to the supermarked he's always scoping out the balloons and wants me to get him one. 
While we were in Roosevelt mom was teaching the mommy and me swimming lesson class and signed up Roux for it.  Dad took him to the class while I worked and they had a fun time.  I think there are pix on Mom's and Heidi's pages.  Roux is pretty advanced since he swims all the time here and passed the class.  Thanks mom and dad for taking him!  You can also check out mom's page for the horses and other stuff they did.  I worked, which is good, but missed out on all the fun activities they did.

I am returning one more time in Sept to do clients then I start a "real" regular hour job when I return the end of the month.  I'm excited for the next chapter to get started and know it is going to be good and will get me to where I want to be professionally.  I really think it will be good for Roux to go to a sitter also since he is getting so attached to me and he likes and needs to be around other kids.
