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.

First Steps

Spencer has started to walk. This video isn't really his first steps but we didn't get the first steps recorded on anything but a cell phone. This is just a day or two later. Now, he is back to crawling and he likes to walk on his knees. He walks for others but not for Mom and Dad.

Time to catch up

Okay...so I figured it had been long enough since we had posted. Spencer has gotten a little bit more mobile since the last entry. Okay, he has gotten a lot more mobile. He loves to be on his feet, walking along furniture or behind his push toys, and he loves to climb. Yep, we have a climber on our hands. Spencer's uncle Mikey was just visiting, and Spencer had fun walking with uncle Mikey. Tyson has been working as a car salesman the past few weeks, and we will just say it has been a very interesting experience, and leave it at that.


We are doing well and enjoying Spence as always. Enough talking; here are some pics and videos of our little man!

Spencer's first trip in the wagon. He loves the wagon...much more fun than the stroller!

Hanging outside with uncle Chris. Spence loves the outdoors....he is sooooooooo active!!

Here is our little man, up on his feet. He was walking to his uncle Mikey in the picture on the top, and was suppose to be sleeping in the picture on the bottom.
