Cooking and Work


We took a break from making cookies to get a quick snapshot together. Isn't Spencer just adorable.









Spencer sure worked hard on our cookies for family home evening and we enjoyed every minute of it!

Tyson let Spencer plop some of the cookies on the sheet...he is so serious when he is in the kitchen cooking. I love watchin my little man grow up!




Spence loves to go to work with Daddy. Here he is on his favorite stone; his favorite place to sit at the office, however, is on the stone bench with mommy.




Spencer working hard in his back room daddy has set up for him at the office. He loves to be with his daddy; he also loves to copy his daddy hence 'office type look on his play table'. (smile)


Our little man after a long day at daddy's office. He loves his new big boy bed!! Doesn't he look so, so tiny?! (smile)

Look what I got into this time!

You leave him alone for just a couple of seconds and look what he does! (smile)

Spencer just loves to stir things, even a salt shaker in peanut butter.
I tried to upload a video of him with the peanut butter, but I was just over the allowed size....rats! guess I will have to send it via email; write me if you want to see it!


Adorable............but messy!






I'm telling you, he is just like his dadddy; Spence loves to be in the kitchen. Stirring up trouble....uhhh....I mean....food and fun! (big smile)








Such a little boy these days....my baby boy is no more!

Lets try this again!

Okay, so it has been forever since I have even thought of posting on this blog. Tyson and I have never been the biggest fans and with how crazy our life has been this past year, this blog was the last thing on our minds. Recently, however, I somehow ended up with a facebook page and quite a few friends. Also not something I ever thought I would be a part of! (smile) I do want to share updates about us and Spence with all of our family and friends, and this blog is such a great way to do it. So, I will attempt once more to post on our blog. I am not promising a blog every week, but at least once a month I feel is a do-able goal. (we shall see...only time will tell! smile) So here we go again!! Above: I gave Spencer flour to play with while I was cooking dinner and he absolutely loved it; for about 15 minutes and then he wanted to be done with it immediately. It is so fun to watch him explore his world around him!

Below: We went to Sweet Tomato's with Uncle Matias to spend time with him before he went back to Argentina for a while. Spencer enjoyed his very first ice cream cone. Now, this was not his first time eating ice cream from a cone, no, this was his first time having his very own ice cream cone. As you can see, the personal cone was a hit!

Below: Spence is wearing uncle Timmy's hat and was not ready for the picture. I love this pic.! I think he looks so adorable, even if he is not smiling.
That is is for now. Can you believe Spencer is 18 months old already! And man, he is just talking up a storm. Some of his favorite words or phrases are: Alright! Alright dude! Down! Thanks! Light; Dark; up; doggy; daddy, grandaddy; grandpa; grandmommy; grandma; out; bottle; eat; night-night! fan; manias (uncle matias); mimmy (uncle timmy); mat-mat (uncle mat); ris (uncle chris); ni-ni-ni (houdini-my sisters dog); ribit (a new fav.) and amen! He also will call his aunt katie by her name sometimes, and his favorite little buddy Cayden (his cousin) he calls a word that is very similar to daddy. I think it is because of the 'd' sound in Cayden's name and in daddy. He knows what he is saying when he calls Cayden's name; to us it might sound like daddy but to Spence he is saying Cayden. Spencer is the joy of our life. He is growing great and learns new words and new habbits every day. He gets in to everything and has just about everyone wrapped around his little finger. He is such a great little boy and we are so blessed to have him in our family. (by the way, we have moved AGAIN! We swear we are not moving for a long time to come, but we have said that before, haven't we. smile! We found a home I can run a home preschool/child care program from, so keep your fingers crossed for us!) I'll do my best to update soon.
