Cousins, Costumes,Candy, Cute!!!

This was the costume I bought last year on clearance. It was cute on the hanger, but much much cuter on Spencer!

My dad, brothers, and Justin went for their annual hunt...
so the girls and little boys got together for a late lunch and
pictures. It's so great to have cousins so close in age!

Lion, Tootsie Roll, Tin Man, and Yoda! My sis-in-law, Lynnell,
made her boys costumes. They turned out great! The theme was
Wizard of Oz...she was Dorthy. How fun!

Love it!

How cute is this toothy little grin!

Here is the backside of the lion costume. Even the tail is cute!

I thought this pic was so fun! He is even acting like a lion...Roar!!

He just keeps growing!

Spencer is such a happy little boy (most of the time). He has lots of energy and when he smiles, he lights up the room. He sits in this boppy (borrowed from Colby and Ashley...THANKS!) in his pack n' play so he can be involved while I cook. Yup, that's right...the pack n' play is set up in our kitchen. We don't have a whole lotta room in our house, but it works.

This is Spencer and Daddy just lounging watching the tube.

Spencer does really well on his tummy. He loves rolling over and completes a 360! He is so active. He's always kicking, swatting, chatting, always moving unless he's asleep.

I sat him down on the couch so I could get ready to feed him and couldn't resist snapping this shot. He just looks like a little man.

Spencer had just woken up and was so content on his tummy. Sometimes I think he's asleep and he's just in there talking and enjoying himself.

And this was just a funny phase he went through. He had his tongue sticking out all the time, even when he was smiling. What a goof ball. But that phase has past. He is just growing and changing every day.

Eli, Coy, and Spencer hanging out at our family reunion. How lucky for them to be so close in age. It is so funny when we take these pictures because we have to keep their hands away from each others faces. How cute!

And this is my dad and Spencer at the cabin. Fun times, fun times!

Summer Time

Let me just say that way too much has been going on this summer! But that way too much does include a lot of fun! It's just hard to know where to start. Well I guess it all started with Justin getting a new job! He is managing "Firehole Trading Company" in West Yellowstone. Yup, West Yellowstone. And we do live there now so if you are in town, give us a call! But it was about a month and a half before we moved, so I am glad to have my husband back around. He was gone 4 hours each day just traveling, plus all the hours he was working. Hard times! Glad that is over.
My sister and her family came into town from Philadelphia! I had been looking forward to them coming for months! And it was great! I can't wait until they live closer. My whole family got together and had a lot of fun. We went to Ross Park, had a great BBQ, enjoyed fireworks at my parents house provided by Justin, family pictures, birthday parties with amazing cakes made by my talented sister Kim, and lots of fun! Oh and did I mention a great night of lightening! Check out this picture I took! We all got some great shots! It was actually kinda scary. That thunder was bone chilling!

Here is a pic Justin took of me and my sisters. Kristin, me, and Kim! Wow! We are definitely related! I never thought we all looked that much alike, but here is the proof!

This is a picture taken from my back patio in West Yellowstone. I really didn't know what to think when Justin first took me out to our new home. I was in disbelief. I didn't think I would ever be living in the forest. But here we are! We have seen all sorts of wildlife and birds are always landing on our porch. It is amazing!

We also went to a great reunion with Justin's family! It was a blast! We had Spencer in a hat pretty much the whole time and we wore him right out. Sleeping in a tent made me nervous because I didn't know what to do with Spencer and our tent wasn't going to fit a play yard, but we made it work out! We used a doggie bed and it was great!

And I think my favorite part of the reunion was the Olympics! The games were a secret until it came time! This was the froot loop toss! And yes that is Justin covered in cool whip! We won this game if you couldn't tell! Another game we played, I had to cover my nose in vaseline and pick up cotton balls with my nose and put as many as I could in a bowl without using my hands. There was a hula hoop contest and much more! It was very inventive and fun!

And what was supposed to be a surprise for my birthday, we went to the cabin with Eric and Cori! I figured it out of course...older and wiser, what can I say! It was so much fun! We went there last year for Cori's birthday and it was a blast. And this year was also a blast! I got totally spoiled! Kent and Holly (Cori's parents) came up on my birthday and made us the best dinner! Yummy steaks, scrumptious spinach salad, and great buttered bread! And then they brought out this massive chocolate cake that was to die for. My mouth is watering as I'm thinking about it! WOW! I hope that we can make it to the cabin every year! I think that would be a great tradition!
We put Audrey and Spencer in the sink(bath) together and as you can see Spencer was hungry, but check out those long eyelashes.

And this was our attempt at a hike! We took off and it was looking great until we hit a huge pile of snow on the path. But it was still fun and beautiful! Good times good times!

And last, but not least here is a video of Spencer. He is just growing up so fast and lately he has been talking so much and it is just so cute! So this is a video of him talking. Enjoy!

Spencer has really been growing and it is bittersweet. I love that he is more active, but he is growing up too fast. He loves when we just talk to him. He is more interested in his toys and he has been smiling a ton. It just melts my heart. He really has the cutest smile!

He also has the longest eyelashes.

Justin and I actually had a morning together (sorta uninterrupted) so we made one of our favorite breakfasts... German Pancakes... YUM!!!

I really think he is so precious when he gets into that deep sleep. I told my dad that I thought Spencer looked like an angel and he said, "that's because he is an angel". How cute is that!

He is a tough little guy! He is really good at holding his head up and getting better at sitting up. I've been surprised how strong he is. Now I know why it hurt so bad when he was kicking while I was pregnant. He gets so stiff sometimes and is unbendable. He rolled over at just 2 weeks while I had him on his tummy. Crazy!

Here is Justin and Cade (our nephew). He really loves his Uncle Justin and Justin loves him. All our nieces and nephews love Justin because he loves to play with them. They even get horsey back rides sometimes!

We got pictures taken of Spencer (soon to come) and some family pix too. And since we got all dressed up nice, we took some pix with our handsome son!

Here is Spencer with his cousin Kenzie! My parents think she looks a lot like me when I was a little girl. I think it's the dark hair and freckles!

This is Tate, Zack, and Spencer. Zack was born in December and Spencer is only 9 days older than Tate. These are the cousins on Justin's side.

And on my side of the family he has 3 more his age, but only 2 live close. This is Eli (born in Nov), Coy (born in Feb) and Spencer (in March)! Lincoln was born in August and he lives in Philadelphia, but will be here to visit this summer! Yahoo! I'm glad he will have so many close cousins, and all BOYS! How lucky is he?!

This is Coy and Spencer hangin' out after Coy's baby blessing. What a precious boy! Coy is wearing the blessing outfit that my brother (his dad) wore when he was blessed. How neat is that!

And last but not least, here is Spencer showing off how big he is. Well actually, I wanted to show him off. He is just so sweet and makes the cutest noises too. Enjoy!

Cousins, Graduation, and our little guy!

Here is Spencer just hangin out in his Easter outfit with the
blanket that Grandma Jo crocheted for him

Cousins just hangin' out. Spencer has lots of boy cousins his same age.
Here are Tate and Zack on either side of Spencer.

My handsome husband graduated! He hasn't gotten used

to no homework yet. I'm sure that won't last long.
We are so happy and we've been doing some CELEBRATEing!

It seems like Spencer gets bigger every day. He just
has the bluest eyes and cutest face. We sure love this little guy!

And here he is hangin' out with daddy. I love the
position of his hands. Sooo chill. Our little man.

We have been busy and really tired. It has been hard to function, but
life goes on. We have all been sick this week and it is just awful to hear
Spencer cough and wheeze. Hopefully it all passes soon. I can't wait for
summer to come. We are getting small glimpses of sunshine and I'm excited
for a nice change. Well, the weekend is here so we'll try to embrace it!

Spencer's 1st two weeks

Here are a couple more pix of Spencer. We have been a little "snap" happy, but we just can't help it because everything he does is just so cute. Just click here for your viewing pleasure!

Welcome to the world sweet baby Spencer!

Obviously I had the epidural at this point :) Yeah for epidurals!

Our happy family!

He is just so cute! We can't get enough of him. He's a keeper!

The proud mama and her precious little boy!

Justin loves Spencer so much! What a good daddy!

Words just can't describe! It really is so amazing how much you love them and care for them. It's amazing how fast you realize you would do anything to protect them. Spencer is such a good baby boy. He has brought such a special spirit into our home. He is just so soft and cuddly and holding him close is so wonderful. I am so happy he is here. I told Justin that it is definately better having him out than in! I never knew it would be so great! He is just perfect!
