Christmas Morning

Christmas morning was wild, not much sleep and a lot of gifts to be unwrapped. I tried my best to help everyone rip open their gifts.
Its not easy though when your hands are always full of treats.

One of the nicest gifts was one I had to share with Ben. Santa gave us some Otter Pops. They are really good and we usually just hang out and enjoy them. Ben thinks he's pretty strong, but if he eats to many I may have to show him who the boss is.

Happy Birthday Roman

Bingo Night with Grandma Alice.

One night the whole family went to Grandma Alice's home in Ogden to have the annual Bingo Party. It was a lot of fun. I really didn't place much bingo, instead I ate the markers, which were red and green M & M's. They sure tasted great.



After the party as we were getting ready to go home, Grandma gave me a surprise birthday present. She even helped me unwrap my gifts and taught me how to play with my new toy.

Roman's 2nd Birthday

On Dec 14Th I turned two years old. I am becoming a very independent young man. We had a great party at Grandma Pat's house.

I had lots of fun opening all the gifts.









I got lots of really cool toys, like this truck from my great uncle Steve. It was a great birthday. I love my family.

A busy day for Roman

The holidays always make for busy times. A week before Christmas was no exception. I spent the day posing with a few of my favorite things for a book grandma was helping me make for my mom.


I like olives. It's best if you have one for every finger.














I really like apples, I could eat them any time.

I always enjoy explaining to my Uncle Pete that the University of Utah is number 1. This sometimes takes more effort than my little body can take. When that happens I build my strength back with a lot of .......

ICE CREAM

Craving some cereal

Every now and then you just need a little cereal. This time I went to the pantry to get some and didn't think anyone was watching. I opened a new box all by myself and poured it in the bowl. There were only 2 problems, I missed the bowl and grandma had her camera.

Oh well, at least I got my cereal.

Me and a couple of my ladies

Utah Symphony and the Music of the Eagles at Deer Valley

Some of the family went to Deer Valley Resort to hear the music of the Eagles with the Utah Symphony Orchestra. It was a lot of fun. I was there with my mom, Grandma Pat and Grandpa Todd and my aunt and uncle, Whitney and Peter Alger and my Aunt Megan Knowles. Uncle Pete(and his iPhone 4) captured this video of me enjoying the show.

Ready for School

I have my backpack on and I'm ready for school, why do I have to wait 4 more years?

I also eat the Good stuff

Love them apples.

Making Cookies

I firmly believe that if you are going to do something you should give it your full effort. That includes making cookies with Grandma Pat and of course the cleaning up afterwards.

Clean up can be hard work, but someone must do it.

Lagoon over the 4th of July

Over the weekend of the Fourth of July we celebrated my Aunt Lynae's 20Th Birthday. What better way to celebrate her leaving her teen years than hanging out at Lagoon. It was a busy time. First I had to captain a boat.

Then after safely guiding the ship to port I had to save everyone from the wild Bulgy the Whale. I jumped on and kept it under control. You'll noticed the guy in front of me screaming his head off, while I keep wondering why can't it go faster.

It was a great day. HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAENAE.

More Lagoon fun

I was able to ride a zebra, not something you find in Utah very often. While I was sitting on the Merry-Go-Round grandpa would put his arm around me to keep me from falling, I am to old for this so I would push his arm out of the way.

Playing in the fountains was a blast.

Me and my mom.

I Like My Ice

Just like my mom, I love to suck on ice cubes. Sometimes I forget how cold my mouth gets. This is the before and after of enjoying an ice cube.

Its gotten to the point in my life where on occasion I must slip into disguise to avoid being recognized. This is one of my favorites.

I guess now the secrets out I may have to find a new one.

With Ben on the Scooter

Will someone please tell Ben to take off those glasses, what if the ladies see us.
